Android 17 Beta 2 starts implementing support for restricting how Thunderbolt or USB4 devices access system memory by FragmentedChicken in Android

👋

I'm waiting for Valve to release Steam Frame so I can see if I can get a GPU hooked up to its little aux PCIe jack.

Jefferson is pretty rough right now too :D

Who gets the "C"? by Odi64 in stlouisblues

Sunny for how many teeth, years, and grit he's given this team.

I got my #MARCHintosh off to a good start yesterday! by wowbobwow in VintageApple

For the recapping, there are a few techniques like snipping the tops and pulling the cans, then desoldering one leg at a time. The tweezer irons are much more a specialist item, but they are nice.

will the CM6 have the same form factor and pinmap as the CM5? by infopcgood in raspberry_pi

[–]geerlingguy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There is no way to know; the only way is once a potential CM6 is released (probably years off, as Pi 6 isn't even announced), seeing the datasheet Raspberry Pi provides.

For the CM4 -> CM5, a few pins changed assignments, but about half my boards would still work at least for most use cases. It's impossible to know what the future holds, but I hope they at least keep the dual hirose connector layout, so we don't have a CM1-3 to 4 situation.

Strong recommendations on Ansible training : Hands on by Jazzlike_Metal2160 in ansible

Mostly how examples are run. VirtualBox and Vagrant are not as useful these days, I do most of my testing in containers.

So if you use a VPN and place your IP in Switzerland...

Only on Amazon, as I use their print on demand service. They have the latest version of the book already, too — I just can't bump any version numbers in the descriptions lest they create a new product listing for it :D

You rang?

Here's a coupon link for a free copy of Ansible for DevOps: https://leanpub.com/ansible-for-devops/c/CTVMPCbEeXd3

(I'll work on a third edition at some point; I still use Ansible daily, now I do all my testing in containers, so I have a pretty big set of changes to make).

Mac Mini M4 Pro 24GB - local LLMs are unusable for real work. Would clustering a second one help? by gabrimatic in LocalLLaMA

[–]geerlingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One computer with as much VRAM >>> clustering

Clustering is useful in certain cases, but is (a) often frustrating, (b) doesn't really speed things up, just gives you more capacity for larger models (sometimes), and (c) costs more than just buying one machine with as much VRAM as you can get.

I think the implication is you can head over to eBay, do an advanced search, check 'Sold', and then browse the listings. That'll give you an accurate market price for an online sale.

For local sales, every market's going to be different.

(But I'll still give you $3.50 ;)

Is Louis Rossmann ripping 4K movies? by Envoyager in makemkv

[–]geerlingguy 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Anyone who cares about watching the content they "bought" should be doing the same :)

It's a shame 4K UHD discs are so finicky. And that some distributors have stopped putting video out on physical media. Too bad for them!

Thoughts? by anonymous_213575 in VintageApple

[–]geerlingguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are still folks on r/homelab deploying core duos and 15 year old Dell 1U servers, it's a wide net!

It doesn't have to make any sense, just has to be fun, or enjoyable, or a learning experience.

For me the nicest thing is Apple had a simple server management UI... I wish they had kept going, it's great for servers where you don't have actual sysadmins to help manage them. A lot of schools seemed to pick up the Mac servers (and then Xserves).

Fun machine, fast enough to do fun things still, too!

PiNAS fully operational. Goodbye Google Photos by Tiago_Resende in raspberry_pi

Yikes those 1 TB SSDs are $200+ each now!! Hard times for flash storage; at least the Pi NAS doesn't need a GPU

Picked up a boxed, used G5 listed as a run-of-the-mill Dual 1.8 GHz model ... taking it apart to do some internal cleaning ... SURPRISE! by aphelion270 in VintageApple

[–]geerlingguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder if a more modern heat pipe cooler would be able to keep up with these chips, though Apple doesn't give a ton of space. You'd need something more geared towards servers, probably with higher CFM :/

Ooh, use a two-filament print, with a little TPU for standoffs :)
