j4k3

I think that one is a Wayland issue. I had it at one point, but I think there may be a fix in the settings or something like that. I forget the details but I'm not at a comp at the moment. Wayland doesn't follow the same ordered operations as X and the frames come up in the wrong order or something like that.

We need some kind of subletting system. Package a stupid simple Raspberry Pi image with the minimal amount of configuration required for me to self host, and set up a fediverse based DNS and certificate authority. Make it stupid simple for a user like me to self host my traffic without needing to pay for a domain and sort out all of the requirements. Like I technically have money but don't control my finances and am heavily subsidized by family due to my situation and disability. I could probably set it up if I was super motivated but networking complexity is a rabbit hole that feels intentionally convoluted and a pain in the ass every time I mess with it. Locking down a Linux image with an immutable base and well configured PAM, SELinux, and automatic updating is equally daunting when a person has no experience or professional contacts familiar with the setup to ground one's understanding.

I don't see why we need to rely on the traditional internet infrastructure. We should be able to make something like fediverse.lemmy.user.j4k3 where we collectivise the address fediverse.lemmy, use it as a DNS server, and then distribute the traffic to individual servers.

I'm not very emotional like that. Things are not traumatic in ways I process with immediacy. I still think about him from time to time over 30 years later, so I'm still processing it in a way.

With my almost dying from the crash that disabled me, I have an ongoing hypothesis that humans do not actually experience death in a way that can be processed and understood. Death happens in the limbic system which is like the human kernel space while the conscious mind exists more in a operating system like user space. We can experience the pain and all, but that isn't related to actual death.

We were inside a gym with a large basketball court running laps. I thought he had just tripped over his shoelaces or something. He was only a few feet ahead of me. Then I saw his face was dark reddish purple and his eyes had the most blank stare. He convulsed a few times and that was it. He was likely gone before he hit the ground and never processed or knew it.

In my crash, I lost 3 hours where my memory failed. I was lucid through parts of that, but it is like the blackest black in my mind. I had extensive fractured damage but of particular concern was the base of my skull and C1 around my brain stem. That whole experience processed different than other serious injuries.

I watched a 36yo woman die after crashing on an e-bike in 2022 and she appeared much the same like she did not see death coming at all.

I abstract about everything as a curiosity. At the time he died, it was an anomaly I didn't really understand. It might have made headaches a little more concerning. Now, I think he died super quickly and in a way he did not likely experience in the conscious mind. It was not bad at all for him. His family must have been devastated and traumatized, but I didn't know them.

Gym teacher ran a friend of mine to death right in front of me. He had a brain aneurism. That was when I was in fourth grade.

I had a highschool chemistry teacher that failed two whole semesters of students with botched and terrible curriculum management with substitute teachers that had no instructions. The teacher had his wife diagnosed with late stage terminal cancer but was a year away from retirement. The lack of any reasonable safety nets for such a terrible situation wrecked many students lives mine included. How the whole situation was handled was so bad I hated anything academic related.

Very cool project

*I killed Heime at 30 as a true test of faith because it would have been too easy to see my divine nature if I had remained at the age of perfection for centuries before giving myself as sacrifice.

In most cases of a dead battery it is just a lack of the circuit topology needed.

The thing is that the cells inside the pack have differences in resistance and this can drain the pack over time. That said, a cell can go bad and short circuit with a low resistance that will heat up massively and cause a fire if you are not careful.

If the ideal circuit topology were used, each cell would be individually controlled by the battery management chip. A less ideal situation is for each cell to have a thermistor, aka a low resolution temperature sensor to monitor each cell. Even less ideal, the batman needs at least one thermistor to monitor charging and ensure things do not get out of hand. The worst kinds of batman rely solely on the charge circuit topology to „safely” charge the pack.

The actual circuit topology for most lithium cells requires three different modes of operations. There is 1) initial trickle charging, 2) constant current mode, and 3) constant voltage mode.

If your battery does not charge, there are likely one of two reasons why. It could be well monitored and the batman has detected an over temperature anomaly in a cell or a short circuit in part of the pack. The second potential scenario is that the batman circuit is missing the trickle charge topology and there is a threshold pack voltage that must be met before the constant current mode can activate. If the cell has sat for a long period of time without charging, the second scenario is more likely, (but not guaranteed to the extent you should ever leave such a charging cell unattended for any amount of time).

Super lucky you. I only have my parents. So once they are gone, I guess so am I.

I haven't looked into the issue of PCIe lanes and the GPU.

I don't think it should matter with a smaller PCIe bus, in theory, if I understand correctly (unlikely). The only time a lot of data is transferred is when the model layers are initially loaded. Like with Oobabooga when I load a model, most of the time my desktop RAM monitor widget does not even have the time to refresh and tell me how much memory was used on the CPU side. What is loaded in the GPU is around 90% static. I have a script that monitors this so that I can tune the maximum number of layers. I leave overhead room for the context to build up over time but there are no major changes happening aside from initial loading. One just sets the number of layers to offload on the GPU and loads the model. However many seconds that takes is irrelevant startup delay that only happens once when initiating the server.

So assuming the kernel modules and hardware support the more narrow bandwidth, it should work... I think. There are laptops that have options for an external FireWire GPU too, so I don't think the PCIe bus is too baked in.
