Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU

Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I’ve only experienced screen tearing with Xorg. Edit, it’s probably your hardware.

I use Niri on triple screens with different sizes and refresh rates, it’s all seamless. Plus per-monitor scroll up/down left/right. I have an Nvidia GPU, they seem to have worked out all the problems with Wayland support.

Niri. I know it’s not a DE, but it’s currently my fav.

I’ve used Frigate for a few years with up to 5 cameras, but 100 might be pushing it for a single card. I’m fond of the Google Coral M.2 chips for inference like the software maintainer recommends. You would need about ~5-10 I’d guess, and 1 low tier GPU if you’re not transcoding too much. I talked to the guy that made the project a few years ago when it was still small, and he helped me with FFmpeg parameters to get Cuda h.265 decoding. Which is also important, depending on your cameras. Maybe talk to him directly through GitHub.

Cliphist sounds like it might work for you. Depending on what’s running under Gnome you might need a few dependencies.

The first thing I did after wiping windows and installing Arch on my new Thinkpad. It’s now my Ollama button for whatever model I feel like running locally.

So like a Mexican restaurant named gringos?

I completely agree that everyone is being recorded almost all the time in public, but your post reminded me of the last time I signed up for insurance. They gave me a device and said just keep it in my trunk for a slight discount. I knew it was obviously a gps tracker and told the sales lady they would have to pay me like minimum $100 a month to drive around with that thing. People give away their personal driving info for a couple of cents off on their insurance.

“So it’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.” is an amazing analogy for the current state of LLMs.

They might get some sympathy from Iran, but the Suadis are too friendly with Trump for any traction.

Gaben embracing Arch has been great for Arch in general. I can’t even remember the last time my Arch install crashed.

Elepharotic asphyxiation

Also, you can’t use the dial up AOL because other people in your family want to use the one land line.

I’ve had nzbgeek for years.

I’m surprised they haven’t put their language model slop bucket behind a paywall yet. Won’t someone please think of the shareholders! /s

It’s an old game but I recently discovered Kittens Game. I also love Balatro, but Kittens it is more complicated and deeper. It’s basically balancing spreadsheets for fun. Don’t look at the wiki until you can get 120 kittens.

Because modern hardware includes instructions that old software could not benefit from. For example H.264 video decoding has specific instructions physically designed into the silicone to speed up playback that isn’t there on older hardware.

That being said, it really depends on the use case and a lot of “modern” software is incredibly bloated and could benefit from not being designed as if RAM is an unlimited resource.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the best tech oligarch of them all

Agreed, his emails sure look like he was involved. Why isn’t he being investigated?
