“the front fell off?!”

They’ve been temporarily removed for about a year now lol

I’m actually quite happy with it. It’s a 24gb p40 which runs some of the older LLMs quite well. Repasting with liquid metal helped thermals a ton too

It’s a Tesla P40 24gb I got off eBay a while ago. Just like AllHailTheSheep suggested, it’s a server GPU meant for compute workflows so it relies on forced air from a server rack. I repasted the die with liquid metal and added a 3d printed duct to attach the radial blower to. The thing never cracks 60c under inference which is nice. Idles around 24c

(Edit: I’m mostly using it for LLMs, but it supposedly makes a good CAD card, so I might give that a shot too)

Thank you 🥹 It’s been quite the experience lol

I thankfully snagged this one pretty cheap off eBay. It’s actually an 8-gpu mining rig frame that conveniently fit my CEB motherboard lol

My janky homelab lol. Mostly ebay secondhand Enterprise stuff and a Chinese SXM2 mezzanine board to run dual NVLinked 16gb V100s. I also have a TrueNAS Scale mini itx server running upstairs with my “arr” stack and some other useful tools.

I felt the same way for a long time. Growing up, I never saw much reason to plan for a future that seemed perilous at best. Climate change was looming; now we are beginning to feel it. The social contract in the US was starting to fray; now it’s coming undone.

9/11, the surge of school shootings, multiple “once in a lifetime” recessions, decades of conflict and rampant anti-intellecualism made it seem silly to even consider something like a 401k when it felt like money would be meaningless by the time I retired; if I can retire at all.

Now, I’m content to let the old structures fall. There’s a few good or useful pieces in there, but the system as a whole has shown just how hollow or simply rotten some most of them are. I’m not hoping or advocating for collapse, only that if it were to happen in my lifetime, the little corner of humanity I occupy might have the ability to weather the storm.

Someone said it once, “look for the helpers”. In times of strife, there’s still good to be found.

Simply stunning 😍

GrapheneOS also works on the pixel tab. Works great 👍

10/10 assets though. 🔥

Mental health can be difficult to untangle or understand even in ideal conditions, let alone when one’s peers make the situation worse. I’m happy you could turn that turmoil into clarity and find some inner peace.

Also, you’re gorgeous. People who discourage or bully us aren’t worth a shred mental energy, but living our best lives is a nice way of telling them to “get fucked”.

Hi intermet stranger. I’ll hold your hand! ❤️💗💕

Yes, you look stunning! 😍😍😍

I’d happily recieve selfies like that, you look amazing.

Also late, buy same. It feels like a lot of the communities as a whole have a problem with engagement.

Ugh that sounds awful. I hope you can find something safe and reasonably priced. 🙏❤️

Hello! I’m in a similar situation.

I was diagnosed with anxiety and put on the same generic for lexapro as you. I found that it hasn’t made me any happier, I just give waay less of a shit about things that used to upset me.

After a few months of lexapro my NP suggested we treat my adult ADHD. For me, starting the generic version of adderall was night and day. It made me feel like I had been asleep my whole life and finally woke up.

My NP suggested that some people experience anxiety as a result of suffering from untreated ADHD, and that I might eventually be able to get off lexapro for good.

I’m glad you’re feeling better! Love the cat pictures too.

Thank you for showing me this, she rocks.
