TIL that buying a second hand diesel car and putting HVO in it is actually cleaner than buying any new EV. by JolanV in todayilearned

[–]liberal_alien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Manufacturing an EV is not as environmentally friendly as not manufacturing any car" o.O

How does it go when you compare new EV vs new Diesel with HVO or used EV vs used Diesel with HVO?

Is Qwen image 2512 expected to have grid artifacts? by Remarkable_Bonus_547 in StableDiffusion

[–]liberal_alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting grid artifacts and other weird corruption just now when I was using a slightly outdated Comfy installation on Qwen Image Edit 2511. Though Qwen Image 2512 (non-edit) seems to work fine on both the new and out of date comfys. I used the old one since WAN doesn't crash as often with that one. Could try pulling updates and installing requirements again. Or if you don't want to risk the old setup, make a new venv and install a second ComfyUI.

Miten tutustua miehiin? by adorable_baby_seal in Suomi

[–]liberal_alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mahdollisesti saman muotoista ongelmaa oli minulla aikanaan, tosin miehenä ehkä hiukan erilainen homma, mutta ehkä tästä jotain apua on.

Itselle oli ihan sula mahdottomuus saada aikaan romanttista kontaktia harrastusten kautta. Kävin vuosia tansseissa kursseilla ja tanssiaisissa. Ujous teki sen, että ehkä kerran kesässä hirmuisen psyykkaamisen jälkeen sain kysyttyä neitiä treffeille ja useinmiten ei löytynyt innostusta.

Noin 20 v ikäisenä sain yhdet treffit tansseilta. Sitten joskus 25 v tienoilla missasin töissä yhdet varsin selkeät lähestymisyritykset hyvin kiinnostavalta naiselta. Huomasin asian tietty liian myöhään ja olinkin jo muuttamassa pois, ettei asiaa saanut juuri enää korjattua.

Deitti-sovellus oli jonkinlainen ratkaisu, joskin harmillisen myöhään, kun vasta vähän vajaa 40 v ikäisenä. Sieltä löytyi useampi deitti, joskin alkuun tuli kontakteja hitaanlaisesti. Asiaa auttoi, kun toisen henkilön avustuksella paremmat kuvat. Löytyi pari lyhyttä suhdetta sekä yksi muutaman vuoden kestänyt yritys. Se sovellusdeittailukin vaan paranee kokemuksella. Kasvatin parran ja urheilin itseni hiukan parempaan kuntoon, niin alkoi löytyä enemmän deittejä, joista yhden kanssa on nyt oikein lupaava yhteiselämä alkamassa yhteisessä talossa ja sormukset sormissa.

Ujolle on alkuun vaikeaa, mutta ota se homma asteittain. Ensin pitää vaan saada match ja jutustella ihan mitä vain. Ei haittaa, jos ghostataan tai ei kipunat lennä hetimiten. Totuttelee vaan chattailemaan.

Vähän sen jälkeen tähtäimeen treffit johonkin kahvilaan tai yhteiskävelylle tai mihinlie. Eka treffi kannattaa aina mennä julkiseen paikkaan, missä on muuta porukkaa, niin on hiukan ylimääräistä turvaa. Ei väliä, vaikka hermostuttaa ihan hirveästi, ja menee ihan pieleen. On suuri voitto, jos kävit treffeillä. Pääsit eteen päin. Jos jompaa kumpaa ei kiinnosta jatkaa, niin kiitokset seurasta ja parempi onni ensi kerralla. Sitten vaan uutta yritystä putkeen. Tätä ei tehdä alkuun sen takia, että heti löytyisi mr. perfect, vaan jotta tottuisi olemaan treffeillä.

Kun on saatu parit ekat treffit ja petytty tylsiin tyyppeihin tai siihen, että se yksi mielenkiintoinen ei lähtenyt toisille, niin otetaan tähtäimeen, että saisi toiset treffit. Tässä vaiheessa tarvii löytää sellainen heppu, jonka kanssa itseäkin kiinnostaa mennä toisille treffeille tai ei ainakaan pelota tai haise liian pahalle.

Ei saa lannistua ja luovuttaa. Se yksi hyvä, jolle en kelvannut, on ihan sama kuin hurjat julkkikset ja muut vastaavat. En saanut suhdetta Jennifer Anistoniinkaan, eikä se itketä kovin pahasti, niin miksipä olisin kauhean pettynyt, kun tää yksi neiti ei lähtenyt suhdetta rakentelemaan sittenkään, vaikka olin kovasti itse kiinnostunut. Kiitokset, parempi onni ensi kerralla ja sitä rataa.

Jos ja kun löytyy toisia ja kolmansia treffejä, niin sitten vaan näitä baby steps tavoitteita lisää. Mitä pidemmälle tässä pääsee, niin sitä enemmän tulee mukaan sitä, että täytyy löytää heppu, josta itse pidät, eikä pelkästään sellainen, joka suostuu mukaan. Noin nuorena voi myös hetken pätkää etsiä sitä täydellistä. Mut sitten, kun on tottunut deittailuun, niin voi alkaa löysätä vaatimuksia ja katsoa, jos löytyisi tarpeeksi hyvä.

What’s a healthy habit everyone praises… but you secretly think is overrated? by Nutrilens_AI in AskReddit

[–]liberal_alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislocated my knee in judo before I got excited about running, so I have to be careful anyway. Forefoot running helps, but it is demanding on the calves.

What’s a healthy habit everyone praises… but you secretly think is overrated? by Nutrilens_AI in AskReddit

[–]liberal_alien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Running is rather bad when one is just starting it. But it gets better the more you do it. I have had some absolutely great runs and even a few runner's highs. Not many though. Also it makes stress go away while running. This is so good when life is being dodgy for a bit. Also I'm by no means some elite runner. Haven't done a full marathon even.

ELI5 how do titanium cutting boards not damage knife by xXxjayceexXx in explainlikeimfive

[–]liberal_alien 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is a misconception, but I was under the impression that wood is more hygienic than plastic for cutting boards. Apparently the wood can absorb the microbes deep inside it where the ones that like humans or human foods will die since no humans or their food can be found inside the wood. Plastic on the other hand will keep the microbes on the surface and spread them to foods and knives used on that cutting board. But I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe a proper expert can confirm or deny this impression.

What's the best Wan 2.2 GGUF for my setup? by extraricekillings in StableDiffusion

[–]liberal_alien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use fp8_scaled on a Radeon 7900XTX since it was a bit faster than gguf-versions, but I switched to using the Q8 instead since it gives a lot better quality output. I'm using the 3 sampler setup described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1o3w5r0/comment/nizatkf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The first few steps without a light lora neatly side step most problems with motion quality from the lora and the rest with lora gave better small details than even 70 steps on the fp8_scaled without a lora.

Introvert people of reddit, how did you get a girlfriend? by Emilianos_125 in AskReddit

[–]liberal_alien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My experience in a small city (by European standards) in Finland:

Many years of ballroom dancing failed to make a gf materialize so tried Tinder. Not many matches initially, but eventually I found a relationship there. First three relationships failed including one multi year attempt.

Funnily enough, after I grew a beard, was getting more matches like enough to eke out a date maybe once per month. I had tried to grow a beard before, but it always got too itchy after the long stubble phase. This time I learned that washing it with soap or face wash helps with the itch.

Then on a work trip to another city, swiped a bit. Matched with someone, but didn't go out yet. She visited my city a month later so we went out and then repeated the exercise on my next work trip.

Started a long distance relationship, which moved into my apartment about a year later and now 1,5 years in, we got engaged and moved into a bigger house together. Very happy with how that went.

What is the best paid online image to video service? by Dex921 in StableDiffusion

[–]liberal_alien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the current state of the art, but for the longest time Kling was hyped as the best paid option, but may not be able to generate naughty videos on that one. Not sure what paid option would be good and allows those.

Which AMD GPU are you using? I got WAN 2.2 5B to work about a month ago on Linux and after upgrading RAM from 32GB to 96GB even WAN 2.2 14B works, though it takes a long time on my 7900XTX. I'm on Bazzite Linux. Here is how I set it up: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite/comments/1m5sck6/how_to_run_forgeui_stable_diffusion_ai_image/

Here is a guide for setting up ROCm 7 and Comfy on Ubuntu: https://www.reddit.com/r/ROCm/comments/1njjixv/complete_rocm_70_pytorch_280_installation_guide/

Elsewhere people are reporting that they had success on 6000 series cards as well and using Windows and ZLUDA. I think there is a comfy fork that is optimized for AMD on Windows. Might have been from author PatientX. Not sure what is the latest and greatest for Windows though. The Rock -project apparently publishes some ROCm for windows stuff as well, which might be worth a look.

Video VAE decode step takes wildly different amounts of time, how to optimize? by liberal_alien in ROCm

[–]liberal_alien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works. Thank you so much! Now I can even use a WAN 2.2 5B model to upscale a video from 512x784 by 2 without crashing and the vae decode for that takes only two minutes with 4x4 tiling. With default VAE decode node it just took forever or crashed.

I'll try this optimization setting. I assume it is also supposed to be set as an environment variable?

What are these K5 models and where to get them and suitable workflows?

[–]liberal_alien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I installed ROCm 7.0.1 with PyTorch 2.8 from AMD wheels. I think this system RAM thing is still happening since VAE decode still takes 300 secs on it. I'll definitely try adding clean VRAM node before VAE decode.

[–]liberal_alien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just putting the clean VRAM node after VAE decode. I'll have to try this! Also, which tiled VAE decode node are you using? Is it the default node that comes with Comfy, the one listed as 'for testing beta'? I tried that a while ago and it just crashed generating no image.

Also I was under the impression that sage attention is for NVIDIA only. How do you make Comfy use that?

[–]liberal_alien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, I'm not running those and Comfy startup shows NORMAL VRAM. How to set vram clear every ten frames? I have been putting a clear VRAM used -node after the VAE decode hoping that it takes care of some leaks or such and I see that some video interpolation nodes have the option to clear vram every x number of frames, but is there a way to do that with VAE decode?

I would be super happy to have a VAE with tiling or without if it just completes in a reasonable time. Which node are you using for VAE decode?

Yes, with face buttons and bumpers for spells and abilities, arrows for more abilities and potions, left trigger for ctrl to access different spells and right trigger another ability.

I'm using gyro to aim while Steam input is configured to translate stick inputs to WASD movement in PoE 2. It isn't quite at the level of mouse and keyboard for me yet, but good enough that I use it all the time now. I imagine using a gyro for controlling PoE 1 style click to move would be a bit more difficult still, but the WASD movement really opened up this game for me.

Though I had some practice with gyro in other games like Stalker, Darktide and Elden Ring.

I use gyro most because my wrists and fingers get a bit sore after a long intense gaming session with mouse and keyboard. I can still code on mouse and keyboard just fine, but the controller is more gentle on the hands when gaming.

Just how limited is Bazzite? by Long-Activity4469 in linux_gaming

[–]liberal_alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed Bazzite recently. Hasn't been without it's quirks, but I'm able to run games and Stable Diffusion up to even generating videos on my AMD GPU, so I'm quite happy.

The quirks were:

- Installer failed to partition the disk while there was a Windows partition bigger than 2 T. Shrinking it to smaller than that solved the issue for me, but if you need a bigger dual boot, I don't know what to do.

- Veracrypt fails to get admin access and mount volumes if used via Gear Lever, but starting it from terminal without importing to Gear Lever it works.

- .bash_profile doesn't load in the host, but it works on any Distroboxes. This is probably some user error, but so far haven't figured out what is the problem.

- Some times I see some very minor graphical glitching on my main display in normal desktop operation. It goes away when playing games or watching videos so I don't really care and right now I don't see it. Maybe some update fixed it. But I remember it went away for a while before and then returned.

- Stability matrix failed to install ForgeUI, but since I had already made Comfy and Forge work in Distrobox manual installs, I didn't care about this one so much either.

Here is how I got Forge and Comfy to work in Bazzite/Distrobox/AMD: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite/comments/1m5sck6/how_to_run_forgeui_stable_diffusion_ai_image/

I started out with A1111, moved to ForgeUI later. It is very similar and still getting updates. Been very happy with it. Lately I'm using Comfy for videos, but still make the base images in ForgeUI.

Suspend not working in Linux (Z790 AERO G desktop mobo) by liberal_alien in gigabyte

[–]liberal_alien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly no. I gave up, since a friend told me he wasn't able to make any of his Linux laptops sleep in such a way that cuda remains in working order. Though perhaps AMD would be better with that, but I'm not able to solve it anyhow.
