OMG yes. I left the Linux community a couple of months ago and my mental health improved almost immediately. I still use Linux; just left the community.

Also:
I would just do the one big transaction. I've done it in the past (after selling a house, after getting disability lump sum payment, etc), never had an issue.
If you've got a reasonable explanation for where the money came from / where it went, you should be fine.
Glad to see he has a sense of humor about his movies being riffed. Rifftrax has done a handful of his movies and they're all good.
Just Peertube. I've been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don't think I'm going to sign up for another one.
I mainly use Llama-3-8B abliterated for everyday questions, and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite for programming/Linux stuff.
It's been pretty lackluster so far. Embedded(includes FPGA) is one of AMD's lowest performing divisions, along with gaming. They've used Xilinx circuitry in Ryzen AI CPUs (XDNA), but those have been slow to catch on.
There's a lot of copium in the AMD_Stock sub about how Lisa is playing the long game and Xilinx will pay off over time, but for now, it's a drag on revenue, operating margins and return on equity.
We paid $40B+ for a company that brought in less than 1.5B last year. - AMD bagholder, avg price $140😐
As long as I can disable it or opt out of it, I don't mind. I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't want videos recommended to me.
With Youtube, it's not a big deal because I never log in there, I browse in private mode and set firefox to delete cookies. So when I go to Youtube, I just get a blank page with no recommendations.
But with Peertube, I need to login to get full functionality (federated search, etc). So I would need an option to turn off video recommendations or whatever.
As a computer guy, I can appreciate that working with data is cool - there's a lot of neat stuff you can determine from it. As a user, it creeps me out. If I went my favorite restaurant, and the waitress recommended something based on the last 5 times I ate there, I would stop going to that restaurant.
I agree. I live in the US, and while I love my country, the current situation shows how bad it is to have 1 giant player who influences everyone else.
I'm in favor of consolidating things away from lemmy.world. No offense to that instance, but centralization is a threat to the fediverse.
As a Rifftrax fan, I never knew about Soultaker. But after seeing San Franpsycho, I'm open to seeing any Joe Estevez movie riffed.

Looking for upgrade advice. Anyone building their supercomputer out of 3060s?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
So here's the way I see it; with Data Center profits being the way they are, I don't think Nvidia's going to do us any favors with GPU pricing next generation. And apparently, the new rule is Nvidia cards exist to bring AMD prices up.
So here's my plan. Starting with my current system;
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.673GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate
GPU: AMD ATI 0b:00.0 Cezanne
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Memory: 4646MiB / 31374MiB
I think I'm better off just buying another 3060 or maybe 4060ti/16. To be nitpicky, I can get 3 3060s for the price of 2 4060tis and get more VRAM plus wider memory bus. The 4060ti is probably better in the long run, it's just so damn expensive for what you're actually getting. The 3060 really is the working man's compute card. It needs to be on an all-time-greats list.
My limitations are that I don't have room for full-length cards (a 1080ti, at 267mm, just barely fits), also I don't want the cursed power connector. Also, I don't really want to buy used because I've lost all faith in humanity and trust in my fellow man, but I realize that's more of a "me" problem.
Plus, I'm sure that used P40s and P100s are a great value as far as VRAM goes, but how long are they going to last? I've been using GPGPU since the early days of LuxRender OpenCL and Daz Studio Iray, so I know that sinking feeling when older CUDA versions get dropped from support and my GPU becomes a paperweight. Maxwell is already deprecated, so Pascal's days are definitely numbered.
On the CPU side, I'm upgrading to whatever they announce for Ryzen 9000 and a ton of RAM. Hopefully they have some models without NPUs, I don't think I'll need them. As far as what I'm running, it's Ollama and Oobabooga, mostly models 32Gb and lower. My goal is to run Mixtral 8x22b but I'll probably have to run it at a lower quant, maybe one of the 40 or 50Gb versions.
My budget: Less than Threadripper level.
Thanks for listening to my insane ramblings. Any thoughts?

I had to take my GPU out to do some troubleshooting, so I figured why not try some games on the old Ryzen 5700G. Ray-traced Quake wasn't exactly playable at 3 fps, but I'm impressed that it could load and display correctly.
Other games I tried; Portal RTX wouldn't start at all. Spider-Man remastered did start, but I can't get past the load menu, not related to the Ryzen APU. Most of my library is 10+ years old, so pretty much everything else runs fine on the APU.
No, I just don't enjoy watching people be toxic to other people, then ending their comments with "LMFAO" to top it off.
