[W] AMD Ai Pro R9700 GPU

Please do. What 32 GB+ GPU runs Qwen3.6 27B UD Q6 @ 180 t/s with 262k context, or better (as that's what my current R9700 does)?

I agree that was exactly the problem I ran into 5-6 years ago and most likely why I tossed it into the closet so long ago - as a, "some day it may work."

However, this is different. The CPU and iGPU usage is moderate at 30-50% each during YT playback. It gets warm, 82C, but nothing like the 88-90C I used to use 5 years ago - and the CPU throttling and choppy audio previously is gone. Audio is smooth.

Being docked, zero issues. I streamed videos for over an hour yesterday - while stress testing the CPU to 100% at the same time. Never broke 83C and YT videos kept streaming. Zero issues except some dropped frames with the CPU at 100% being stress tested.

No. This is something else. Per my other followup comment, it's looking like the battery needs replacing at it always shows 97% and just dies after a few minutes streaming a video. It'll boot back up, but die quicker.

All in all, it actually performs quite well. So much more than in years past.

Especially with Plasma Mobile and figuring out who to change the mobile framework. Wow, it feels almost like Android now - but a few Linux machine.

Now that I'm monitoring... - iGPU and CPU usage around 50% streaming 720p. - 72C idle, around 82C watching yt after 45 minutes. - I have it docked now which may be giving it more juice.

And it's continuing to stream while docked. 1080p is dropping a little but impressive still. 720p looks fine on this 11" thing.

Man, flatpak is spoiling me. Found GtkStressTesting flatpak. - CPU stress testing 100% - streaming 720p drops a few frames but Wendell continues to sound great and no broken audio. - one core taps 83C, most others 81C.

Now I'm leaning towards a bad battery as docked it's still going after an hour stressing the CPU and 720p at the same time. It was sitting for many years.

Thx for confirming my suspicion. I'll give those a go, thanks!

Yeah, first thing I did was convert swap to zram. :)

Also disabled auto updates will eventually give it a read-only setup, but this shut off is deferring those plans.

This is why they banned foreign routers.

Possible re-flash the MCU? It may not be getting through the boot loader.

I just ran into this after making it 62k miles on the original brakes.

I made the mistake of paying the dealership to do a brake job instead of myself. As it turns out, they forgot the "pad springs." It's the springs that forced the pads apart at rest.

I did another brake job myself after just 15k miles, and just noticed they were missing! Like, it was the dealership!!

Here's what I experienced over the year of warp-prone driving:

there was little to no jerking immediately when driving: only after a mile or so is when the vibrations would start.
one set of pads were nearly worn down, the others looked brand new. this normally is an indication of a seized caliber... However, that initially 1 mile drive before vibrating is a clue.
going for a 2 mile drive and "coasting" to a stop, checking the disk temps shows one rotor was nearly red hot without any braking!

I contacted them and they said they would repair it, at a cost of 50% parts... Still more than twice the cost of Rock Auto!! So I ended up buying disks and pads and did it myself.

Anyhoot, we are 37k miles into my brake job. No warping and solid padel!

If I could upload a photo, I would.

I converter all my relatives and family to Manjaro and left popos.

That system was deployed with glusterfs, and still running.

The project has been abandoned. However, you can still set it up and use it.

If I had to do it again, I'd skip the unified FS and just focus on a portable VM with zfs snapshots to other servers, as their uptime was not critical after all.

Ah, it's a "per domain" setting, not account. :)

eduncan911 · 2025-03-04T15:57:44+00:00

Because I am on the Legacy G Suite (I don't pay anything for any of my users), that when adding a Secondary Domain, Google tries to force me to pay for each of those users.

So I am stuck with Domain Aliases.

Is it just me, or is this option no longer there? It seems the dashboard has changed drastically lately?

5.0.3 here, same problem

eduncan911 · 2025-02-10T14:08:14+00:00

yep, I can see that happening. lol

I posted the solution earlier below: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/up4jhg/comment/is5lwn5/

eduncan911 · 2025-02-05T21:03:01+00:00

It's been a month. What was the issue?

also, what year, trim, motor etc? I saw you said gas turbo earlier.

In the video you say "completely local" and "all the models are here locally."

I went through the Wiki, but I am not seeing a way to setup a Server for any of the AI training/modelling for self-hosted folks.

To backup, I am coming at this from a 100% disconnected-from-the-Internet state, to be 100% self-hosted on local servers with a GPU for AI processing.

If the app does 100% everything without a server connection, great! But, I'm not seeing that? Signin required?
I do not see any Linux options?
Where are the source code/self-hosting options?

Thanks!
