  • The most annoying thing about a lot of these is that tutorials are “minimal viable setup” sorta things. Like “now you have it setup, make sure you tune it for production”

    Dude I’m already in pain from trying to serve these models and you just have to go rub salt into my eyes. “Simplify your stack with <Tech>” they said. “Share your resources effectively and easily with <Tech>” they said. “Here’s your fuckin’ ‘Hello, World’ now GRTFM and buzz off” they said.

    Working close to the metal do be like that.

    I don’t think an SSD is the right choice here. SSDs have a limited lifespan that’s majority driven by the number of writes that happen to a certain block. Reads are cheap and near infinite though.

    When you’re talking about a Lemmy instance, mail server, etc. my mind thinks this is likely to be many writes with several read-once ops. This is a better use case for a HDD.

    A media server that oriented towards most consumption (reading) would be better for SSD.










  • I won a free LASIK in a contest from the local newspaper. The surgeon’s practice office manager tried to claim that the prize was a free single eye (effectively buy one get one free) but the way the contest prize statement was phrased made it very clear that it was both. We mutually decided to cash-value the prize at 0.75 because I decided there’s no way I want a pissed-off surgeon pointing a laser at my eyes. In exchange, I signed a 5 year NDA about the whole thing—that was about 7 years ago.

    Used the cash for a down payment on an awesome car, instead. That’s my story on how I got my Tesla. The company’s frontman is a massive douche but the car is freaking awesome.
