Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.

The chipmunks: Daddy longleg needs deez nuts.

Watch the 4080 super reviews on wednesday, there should be fresh 7900xtx data in there to make up your mind. It is 2x faster than the 2080ti according to techpowerup, so you might be getting 140-180 fps on your setup and allow you to skip a generation. The 7800xt has dropped to €500 sinds the superduper launches, fingers crossed for your 7900xtx.

I would wait at least until a week after the 4080 super comes out, this should impact 7900xtx pricing and is really soon.

Personally I would consider waiting the ~8 months for RDNA4 and be the first to buy the new flagship if I had your budget and monitor demands, and rock the 2080ti on medium and dlss if necessary.

Do a pacman -Syyu before you continue.

The higher your head, the greater your head’s impact speed when you fall. Adults can also go faster. Momma is in much more danger and is smart about resource allocation.

I think he had an accident on the leftmost stairs.

A locked bootloader is all they need to lock you out for “a uniform experience and support across all devices”. That freedom to install whatever is not a given.

I think the shadow of the first plate is 90° off compared to the table leg 🧐

Amazing details, well done!

Interesting! How a prompt progresses while you are generating to do what you want is almost a story in itself. Craziest shit I’ve encountered so far happens when you ask your ai artist for a ‘masterwork’. People just spam that tag on civitai even though it suddenly changes the interpretation of your entire prompt.

This happened to me when my language settings weren’t set. You can’t even access them in jerboa, log in with a browser and check if English is selected besides default. And whatever else you wish to see.

You can see in the prompt how they had to beg for antrophomorphic shapes with big eyes, who knows what happened before 🫣

Would you notice if it doesn’t? The screen flickering is obvious, what if your ram and ssd flicker, too? You can tinker with that laptop and try to reduce 3.3 or 5v power rail load with kernel flags, but until someone checks those power rails electrically I wouldn’t trust that laptop to be reliable for anything but a tinkering exercise. We sadly don’t get redundant power IC’s you could switch to, but the failure is common and the involved parts cheap. I wish competent repair shops were more common.

I would conclude from this that your dc-dc converter is out of whack and only works stable enough for a small range of input voltages. This hardware issue might require a hardware fix at a repair shop :/

Make sure you have both your nvidia drivers and vulkan installed. Your errors point to a missing vulkan.

I’m impressed they could get their momentum going for so long, they were able to burn so much money and only now are investors pulling out? That was a serious hype train! Even if it was meant as lobby sponsoring against standard high speed rail, holy cow what a waste!

There might just be a tender full of baby dolls as fuel behind it…

Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.
