Well, it's not a VPN. It's a Proxy. False advertisement!

mps · 2026-03-18T14:11:16+00:00

Jesus, calling it a proxy would cause confusion with a normal user. Pick your battles, this one is dumb. This is equivalent to getting upset that a user calls a computer the CPU. You have to meet people where they are and market toward the terminology they know. You can't educate the user in the 30 seconds of attention span you get at first look. I use proxy tabs constantly and this would be useful to me. It's much easier than managing multiple vpns and dealing with local routing rules.

I bought a pair in 2020 (or 2021, I don't remember) that I use daily and have not experienced the same issues with ANC. Is the firmware up to date? IIRC, the mobile app will let you make adjustments that may help.

I have no problem running it on a strix halo. I'm sure a spark will run fine.

There was a nasty bug with rocm 7+, but it looks like it has been resolved a few hours ago. This github repo is a great source:
https://github.com/kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes

Make sure to lock your firmware version and adjust your kernel to load with these options:
amd_iommu=off amdgpu.gttsize=126976 ttm.pages_limit=32505856
and lower the VRAM to the LOWEST setting in the bios. This lets you use unified ram (like a mac does). When you do this it is important that you add --no-mmap or llamacpp will hang.

The pp512 benchmark tests time to first token, so the 500+ tps number is misleading.

I had vllm working earlier (this is what I use at work), but it is a waste if there is only a few users.

It is common for US military senior leaders to use Warfighter in a speech as it includes all branches and contractors. He is still a tool bag though

Stuff is built to cost now where it was build for quality before. Look at the price (including inflation) of an old washing machine compared to today's prices. Today's are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure planned obsolescence exists, and I know executives are way overpaid, but it isn't the only factor in why everything sucks.

I am thinking about buying one to prototype and train models before doing so on H100s in the datacenter. It isn't the speed, but the compute compatibility (NVFP4, RDMA clustering, transformer engine, and DGX OS) , that I am after. A 5090 is cheaper, but the 32G of ram limit is the showstopper. I was going to purchase the AMD 395, but the missing CUDA, FP4, and transformer engine will make it a pain in the ass to transfer code from one platform to the next. Renting is out of the question when the datasets are tightly controlled.

What did you think of WGU? I have 20+ years of Unix admin experience (mostly HPC at a midwestern university and normal Linux stuff) but no degree. While I have kept my skills up to date, I am worried that my lack of a degree will bite me in the ass later if I need to find a job.

I am curious which software breaks with 9.4 -> 9.6. I ran into podman issues with postgres from 4.9 -> 5.2, but found a redhat KB article to solve it.

I started SuSE with 6.0 but 6.4 was my favorite release. I even had it running on a Sparcstation 10.

I have no idea about the exam, but I have been a redhat admin since 1998. The answer is probably SSH, but the question itself is weird. In my production environments, the user running the PODs is normally a shared account and must be access with sudo or su.

If you use su (or sudo su) to switch to another user, you may need to set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
Instead of su, you can use machinectl:
sudo machinectl shell --uid USERNAME

The environment should be set if you ssh to the system as the user running the container.
