the flexity wein is one of the best looking modern tramsets imo

I'm just using basic fabric stuff running through a systemd service for my MC server. It also basically just has every single performance mod I could find and nothing else (as well as geyser+floodgate) so there isn't all that much admin stuff to do. I set up RCON (I think it's called) to send commands from my computer but I just set up everything through ssh. I haven't heard of either pterodactyl or crafty controller, I'll check those out!

The whole premise of a debate usually comes with the connotation that you will never get convinced, and that if the other person was more convincing than you, then you "lost" and just need to be more persuasive next time.

So yes, just telling someone their opinions are bad usually doesn't work and is a waste of effort, no matter how well written and supported you are.

OpenAI could use less hardware to get similar performance if they used the Chinese version, but they already have enough hardware to run their model.

Theoretically the best move for them would be to train their own, larger model using the same technique (as to still fully utilize their hardware) but this is easier said than done.

Yeah, I think you have to start Skyrim VR with openvr while in the steam VR home iirc or it won't work correctly

Using openxr would give better performance but then the bindings fall apart

And yea the index is currently pretty outdated imo, I would definitely wait

here are some pages I found from the last time I looked into this

for high vram ai stuff it might be worth waiting and seeing how the 24gb b580 variant is

Intel has a bunch of translation layer sort of stuff though that I think generally makes it easy to run most CUDA ai things on it, but I'm not sure if common ai software supports multi gpu with it though

IDK how cash limited you are but if it's just the vram you need and not necessarily the tokens/sec it should be a much better deal when it releases

Not entirely related but I have a full half hourly shapshotted computer backup going to a large HDD in my home server using Kopia, its very convenient and you don't need to install anything on the server except a large drive and the ability to use ssh/sftp (or another method, it supports several). It supports many compression formats and also avoids storing duplicate data. I haven't needed to use it yet, but I imagine it could become very useful in the future. I also have the same set up in the cli on the server, largely so I can roll back in case some random person happens upon it and decides to destroy everything in my Minecraft server (which is public and doesn't have a whitelist...). It's pretty easy to set up and since it can back up over the internet, its something you could easily use for a whole family.

My home server (with a bunch of used parts plus a computer from the local university surplus store) was probably about ~170$ in total (i7 6700, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 8tb hdd) and is enough to host all of the stuff I have (very light modded MC with geyser, a gitlab instance, and the backup) very easily, but it is very much not expandable (the case is quite literally tiny and I don't have space to leave it open, I could get a pcie storage controller but the psu is weak and there aren't many sata ports), probably not all that future proof either, and definitely isn't something I would trust to perform well with AI models.

this (sold out now) is the hdd I got, I did a lot of research and they're supposed to be super reliable. I was worried about noise, but after getting one I can say that as long as it isn't within 4 feet of you you'll probably never hear it.

Anyways, it's always nice to really do something the proper way and have something fully future proof, but if you just need to host a few light things you can probably cheap out on the hardware and still get a great experience. It's worth noting that a normal Minecraft server, backups, and a document editor for example are all things that you can run on a Raspberry Pi if you really wanted to. I have absolutely no experience using a NAS, metasearch, or heavy mods however, those might be a lot harder to get fast for all I know.

Such as in The Expanse

(I don't think she was trans but that's what the name reminds me of)

Microsoft had relatively interesting ideas concerning 3D and VR content, then proceeded to do an extremely mediocre execution, simultaneously dumbing everything down while also making it hard to use, and then proceeded to discontinue their software after almost never touching it again for seven years

I have a Reverb G2 (windows mixed reality headset), it is really a good headset and is still competitive with the Quest 3 in several areas for use on PC. The WMR software itself isn't that bad and I think if it had more care and attention put into it it could genuinely have been great. If they had better home options, user created homes, more customization and the ability to fix things in place so you don't accidentally move them, the ability to add (even just user created) minigames and dynamic objects that stay in the world, and (most importantly) the ability to actually invite other people into the space to play with you and launch into other games. They're Microsoft, they were large enough and early enough that I'm sure they could even have gotten game developers on board with some protocol that automatically brings people you're playing with into a multiplayer session of whatever game you start. I think they were onto something with their home system and could have fleshed the software out into something much better than even the modern competition. Of course it's all discontinued now, the latest version of Windows doesn't even support it, I plan to continue to use the old version until it stops getting security patches in 2026 and then switch to Linux where hopefully the open source people will finally fully support using controllers.

Yes, there just isn't all that much use I would get from it personally, and I think diamond tools are already not all that expensive.

Yes, I would imagine that size would be comically large for like a ring or something
