Thing is, the time for net-zero has passed, did you hear that whooshing sound?

To pull back from the brink, what is needed is net-negative, which ain’t happening without capture (alongside massive reduction in emissions), economics be damned, it’s an existential threat, it’s about survival. Could be as simple as massive reforestation, could be fusion generators pulling CO2 out of the air, will probably be many different things, but learning what works, as soon as possible, is imperative.

I have exactly this (AM4, 7800XT, 3440x1440 monitor) running bazzite. Almost every game I have maxes 165Hz, works great for LLM inference too, really the nutso expensive stuff is only necessary for 4K+, which I find diminishing returns at present, LLM training (rent a GPU instead), and probably modern VR. Just to let you know you’re barking up the right tree. :)

Oh, and the 7800XT idles / youtubes ~ 14-20W, 7 with the monitor off. I’m actually using it as a backup NAS / home server in down time, system pulls ~40-45W at the wall and I haven’t even gone deep into power saving as it’s a placeholder for a new homelab build that’s underway.

IMO, same reason they have their own repo, which eventually feeds into Red Hat enterprise, to have a trustworthy, curated set of safe (ish) software that’s had eyeballs on it. A worthy enough goal, but that said, it applies a lot less to flatpaks. I personally used to remove theirs because I didn’t like having multiple sources, now I’m on Bazzite which ships with flathub.

Don’t sleep on switching to nvme.

Well, that’s all kinds of wrong.

Yeah, says as much in the article. This’ll most likely, if it’s not vaporware, have a 256 bus, which will be a damn shame for inference speed, just saying if they doubled the bus and sold for ≤ $1000 they’d eat the 5900 alive and generate a lot of goodwill in the influential local LLM community and probably get a lot of free ROCm development. It’d be a damn smart move, but how often can you accuse AMD of that?

it’s worth noting that RX 9070 cards will use 20 Gbps memory, much slower than the RTX 50 series, which features 28-30 Gbps GDDR7 variants.

Seeing, as the article notes, there are no 4Gb modules, they’ll need to use twice as many chips, which could mean doubling the bus width (one can dream) to 512 bit (ala 5900), which would make it very tasty. It would be a bold move and get them some of the market share they need so badly.

The old adage is never use v x.0 of anything, which I’d expect to go double for data integrity. Is there any particular reason ZFS gets a pass here (speaking as someone who really wants this feature). TrueNAS isn’t merging it for a couple of months yet, I believe.

Not to my mind, science requires a testable hypothesis and evidence. I would argue that merely refuting someone else’s hypothesis without providing a new one doesn’t meet the bar of doing science.

Sorry, I don’t understand.

Counterexamples also refute, without necessarily being science.

He wants real estate.

Also relevant, The Plot Against America which puts it in a philosophical / idealogical context. Their actions now make (an awful) sense to me.

Yup (although minutes seems long and depending on usage weekly might be fine). You can also combine it with updates which require going down anyway.

You’ll be wanting sudo ostree admin pin 1 seeing as 0 was broken. Double check with rpm-ostree status.

Proceed to rpm-ostree update, if that does nothing it means 0 is up to date, personally I’d just wait for a new update using the working deployment, but you can blow away 0 and get it again if you’re keen.

Basically, you want to shut down the database before backing up. Otherwise, your backup might be mid-transaction, i.e. broken. If it’s docker you can just docker-compose down it, backup, and then docker-compose up, or equivalent.

I could care less, but then I wouldn’t care at all…

Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (or incompetence).

This works for individuals, but when it comes to corporations, you really have to ask, why not both?

Just use multiple database files (e.g. one for unimportant, one for important) and automate the syncing with syncthing or something so the lazy doesn’t matter…

Clear as mud. (I actually dimly get it, I’m a dev, but mere mortals will be clueless and move on). Farcaster is right, you need to define terms and give examples of actually getting this up and running, you’ve got way too much internal context that you’re not making explicit. Not an attack, trying to help, project sounds cool.
