I don’t think my grandma was a sysadmin.

Yes

TIL about Pixelfed :) I will be signing up.

I don’t know what I want for dinner and that never stopped me from identifying myself.

That is creepy.

Correct. I game a lot and I never have to worry about Linux compatibility anymore.

*except games that don’t run on proton/wine. I don’t have a Windows installation and I never have to worry about a game not running out of the box on Linux anymore.

That’s not how it works anywhere I’ve heard of (and I’ve lived in the USA and Europe and worked in an American grocery store). Maybe if it’s a refrigerated product in the US (or vandalized somehow), but that’s not the case with dates.

It’s pretty much never advantageous having Windows to run AI stuff, it runs like dog shit and the drivers are not prioritized because no one does serious AI research using Windows.

I don’t understand your question. GPT is proprietary and hosted by OpenAI. There are other large language models (LLM) that one can download (or even train if they are open-source or at least have a descriptive scientific paper and open training data) and host themselves, but they are not as powerful.

There are open models that one can download on HuggingFace and run locally, but they are not as good as ChatGPT4 which has had insane® amounts of resources thrown at.

ChatGPT4

I wouldn’t go as far as moreso but yes!

What’s wrong with XMPP? I’ve been using it for many years, it’s by far been the greatest experience and it has OMEMO encryption.

Yes. The intelligent multi-device-type feature is a huge improvement for any workload that needs more space than what an SSD can affordably provide, even moreso with the reliability of eg RAID1.

Before that I had to use BTRFS (RAID1) on bcache (not fs) devices, but half of the cache space was being wasted on the redundant copies because the two systems operate independently.

Quick update to let you know that it works on all my tasks with ROCm 5.7

I had bcache + btrfs (RAID1) before this but it was a huge waste of space because bcache had to cache two identical copies of the data in order to be effective (since BTRFS and bcache don’t communicate and BTRFS picks from a random disk); that’s half as much cache.

With Bcachefs everything is integrated so it knows to cache only one copy in RAID1 (and it doesn’t even need to hold two HDD copies, the fast/“cached” copy counts). Data is read from the fastest source and every resource is best utilized.

Yes, lots of storage space with redundancy and the speed advantage of an SSD. If you have enough data where a pair of reasonably priced SSDs is not enough then it is highly advantageous to combine them with (cheaper/bigger) HDDs.

Personally I would not consider a filesystem without data redundancy for my personal files, and I have enough pictures to fill some hard drives but I don’t like waiting for them to load.
