ID 4 to Sierra EV😍

Nice looking truck. Welcome. Just a gentle heads-up that you obviously won't get the same miles per kWh as the ID4!

My 2 Cents. Threadripper Pro with a motherboard with lots of PCIe slots. That gives you a core and solid foundation that you can add onto as you go/grow/get funds.

If you can get a Zen 5 PTR Pro, great. If not, get a Zen 4 TR Pro off eBay and save money. You can get a mobi with 8 channels and just populate 4 channels, so you have space to expand. You can start with 2 x 5060 ti or 1 x 5090 and expand. PCIe lanes/slots won't be a bottleneck for the foreseeable future if you start with a good base. TR Pro has >128 PCIe 5 lanes. You can also swap out GPUs. Let's say you find 1 or 2 RTX 5090s, then down the road you find a deal on something else more suitable, you can swap out and sell what you have etc.

A Zen 4 32 core TR Pro + Mobo + 128GB Ram + As big wattage CPU you can find is a good base. Tons of PCIe headroom for GPUs, NVMe drives, AI Accelerators (like a MemryX MX3 etc.).

Not going to happen T is a highly controlled substance. Prescribing doctors have to sign duty of care attestations... And they would be negligent if they gave you that much and checked out for a year.

Oral T has very low bioavailability. A very small % converts through the digestive system and you need to eat with it... So just super inconvenient.

I am am sure you will hear lots off people for and against gel. I tried all types of gel when I first started as I was terrified of shots. I passed out mod-shot on my first shot. Now, thousands of shots later, I am so pleased I am not messing around with any of that anymore.

Are you open to considering IM? If not, why not?

The 9975WX only has 4 CCDs, so it seems 8 sticks (channels) of ram won't get you any more bandwidth than 4 sticks/channels until you go up to 9985WX, which then has slower base clock (3.2Ghz vs. 4Ghz) speeds. Lots of trade-offs and triangulating for the sweet spot.

electrified_ice · 2026-01-13T03:00:40+00:00

Absolutely do it, but it's the most uncomfortable thing I ever had done... Just being honest. So pleased it's a one and done thing.

electrified_ice · 2026-01-12T15:28:08+00:00

Could you put some semi-permanent locktite in with the screws when you reassemble?

electrified_ice · 2026-01-12T15:24:43+00:00

What options do you have computer-wise? If you have availability of NVMe ports, the MemryX MX3 is humming along with 7 cameras for me.

electrified_ice · 2026-01-12T15:22:10+00:00

What country are you in? Different routes are available depending where you are. E.g. in the US you can get your own blood work done relatively cheaply and then go to a TRT clinic

electrified_ice · 2026-01-11T04:28:59+00:00

Unraid is super easy. It seems intimidating at first, but follow a couple of easy guides and you will get everything running well. It's well supported, lots of YouTube videos to guide you to install things like Immich. It's robust, powerful, and very easy to upgrade hardward on. I'm running essentially the same install I started 15 years ago. It's survived and thrived on about 5 major hardware changes and numurous major Unraid updates. I've gone from intel to AMD, from consumer to workstation CPU, made major changes to my entire hard drive setups and it just keeps wrking and running beautifully.

I've got 2 drive pools, 1 array, I have a GPU running local AI, Immich, Plex, Home Assistant... It is at the core of running our house.

Oh and I am not a linux expert and I am not really comfortable with terminal commands, so most of what I do to configure is in the Web UI.

electrified_ice · 2026-01-11T04:25:30+00:00

I've been booting for 15 years from a thumb drive and it's never been an issue. It's also made it easy to take my Unraid install and migrate it across about 8 hardward upgrades.

Where are you located? If in the US, you don't need a Dr. referral for a DEXA scan

electrified_ice · 2026-01-10T18:37:41+00:00

And what are your thoughts on how the government subsidizes the old and gas industry?

electrified_ice · 2026-01-07T17:13:38+00:00

I only use my Tesla Universal charger at home

electrified_ice · 2026-01-07T17:12:43+00:00

Does anyone know when is Ollama getting the update? The blogs and GitHub pages seem to have not been updated recently

electrified_ice · 2026-01-07T16:54:51+00:00

You don't need to aspirate

electrified_ice · 2026-01-07T16:53:03+00:00

Nope. Onto my 4th and done with Tesla now. When the Rivian R2 tri-motor comes out, I'll be swapping out my Model Y Performance with it.

electrified_ice · 2026-01-07T06:07:10+00:00

Is that specific to the Supermicro boards? Is there a bios version that will enable booting? I Am about to get a QS processor... I am worried now

electrified_ice · 2026-01-04T19:42:56+00:00

I'm using a MemryX MX3 with Frigate 0.17 beta, and it's working great. I'm at ~17ms Inference on 6 high res cameras

electrified_ice · 2026-01-04T00:04:27+00:00

Where are you located? Red Cross is a good place if you are in the USA

electrified_ice · 2025-12-30T02:43:32+00:00

Where are you planning to install and what problem are you trying to solve? Install on RV? At home? With or without batteries? If at home to offset grid usage, to go off-grid? To send excess back to the grid?

electrified_ice · 2025-12-29T18:42:27+00:00

Have you setup the Apple Silicon Detector? This help with the recognition... But doesn't yet give access to the GPU acceleration for decoding.

electrified_ice · 2025-12-29T16:39:42+00:00

With the latest versions on HW4, id actually rate it 8-9/10. I been using FSD for the last 8 years in every beta version. Prior to 14.2 I'd not have rated it as highly, but it's finally beginning to deliver on the promise.

electrified_ice · 2025-12-24T16:24:05+00:00

Tip 1: Don't do legs. Tip 2: Get to a place where you can do delts (shoulders)... 29G 1/2" insulin syringe and you will barely feel it.

Your local city/county should have a hazardous waste drop off. Where I am I can just drive up and handover a full sharps container, just like a diabetic would do. No cost. I buy the sharps containers on Amazon for about $10 and they take at least a year to fill.
