@kaia @p my previous setup was a slim laptop with a 3090 eGPU, and it worked well. I didn't benchmark it, but my feeling is that loading the model into RAM took a bit longer via Thunderbolt, but once that was done, token generation performance was pretty much the same as with PCIe.

So, adding it via an eGPU enclosure may be viable. I'm sure there's lots of reports on /r/eGPU or on eGPU.io

@silhouette @kaia you don't put an Eames Lounge in a cluttered space, it should be a focal point of the room it's in.

@geerlingguy mine was more of a "I decommissioned this domain because it was the potential name of our company eight years ago, so surely we aren't using it anymore..!"

@finlaydag33k @kaia I don't know how they do it, but Obsidian self-updates within the AppImage, so it's at least possible for that to happen. I don't know how viable it is for other projects to follow suit.

On Arch, I find many more things available through the default and AUR package repositories, so my updates are almost completely through that mechanism. A nice side-effect I hadn't realized before.

@kaia Cal Kestis

This is an amazing conversation with Lis Smith on the #NewYorker podcast, where she lays out the problems plaguing the #Democratic party and it's identity.

TL;DL: wake up and stop being so damn obtuse.

@prettygood most honest alt text I've ever seen. 💯

@lain @solidsanek I guess those are movies where the delta isn't quite as severe?

My takeaway was why do men overwhelmingly like movies that are 20+ years, while women skew much more recent. I think that's the interesting bit.

@p @kaia There's a project or library called "Marp" that defines Markdown syntax for making slides and an #Obsidian plugin called Marp slides that implements it. It can export as PDF and PPTX.

It works alright for quick presos for small audiences. Personally, my dreams of easy, tet-based slide creation always get shattered by the corporate template requirements and/or the need to make simple-looking diagrams to dumb it down for the audience (which are actually pain-staking and time-consuming to create).

@kaia @Natanox and DOS memory Management? I don't miss those days. I'll bet the drivers are pretty difficult to find. At least ones that aren't riddled with spy and malware.

@GeePawHill @skinnylatte what is Tommy's tax rate? And why isn't he avoiding short term capital gains?

@skinnylatte no truer words than that last statement!

BTW: did you go to Hat Yai while in #portland? So good, I think I know what I'm doing for lunch today!

@kaia

@kaia Continue. You can point it at all kinds of inference servers. It works with #Codium.

@77nn @kaia we have individual #KeepassXC vaults, and a shared one called "KeeShare" that has a bunch of shared accounts (e.g. utilities) and other PII (e.g. ID numbers). It sort of works like a symlinked additional vault.

Then, in the safety deposit box -to which we both have access- is a relatively recent copy of both password vaults and their passphrases written down.

Also, my vault requires a Yubikey w/ a configured Challenge/Response.

@kaia I'd steer her away from .xyz domains, if possible.

@molly0xfff Reminding me of a great #zine I picked up recently RSS is (not) Dead By Audra Mcname. Lovely that they put the full version online!

@jonossaseuraava @kaia no wifi for the French

@atomicpoet Where did you find an installable release and were there any instructions?

I was looking into #Streams the other day because I am trying to find a fedi blogging platform that will suit my purposes. Everything I could find looked to be more proof-of-concept.

@jerry I assume everything on Apple+ is shot on an #iPhone, and that is why I don't subscribe
