I bought 2, probably around the same time. One of them failed after years of serving as my NAS boot drive, so I replaced it with its twin, and that one is still going strong.

Which local LLM do you use?

IRL borrowing material from House M.D.

As of yet, I don’t. But the idea is I eventually move my VM/container host back to my more powerful desktop machine. It also runs Gentoo, so now I can build everything in RAM, even large packages like Firefox, without having to close other programs.

I adopted a cat a couple of months ago. Every time I run a sink she comes running. It’s like her call or something. I don’t know what she’s expecting.

For me, it’s because:

• I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
• I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
• I’ve had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I’ve learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.

I work as a software engineer with other software engineers. Even software engineers and UX designers using the internet that way. Talented ones. Many of them - maybe the majority. It takes me a second to get over my astonishment when they share their screens. Not only astonishment at how overboard ads have gotten w/o an adblocker, but also that this particular person doesn’t use an adblocker.

So many people aren’t well-informed about what ad networks or doing, or how different the web experience could be.

My dad was tricked with the “cat litter box” made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can’t remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they’ve been deceived by made-up fox news.

My X220 and T520 each have 16GB. The designed max was actually “only” 8GB, but it turns out 16 GB actually works. I replaced the RAM modules myself without asking Lenovo for permission. Those models came out in 2011.
