Also, there are some “former crypto miner“ boards that are configured with SUPER wide slots for video cards exactly like this.

They’re great and cheap used because nobody wants them.

If I have to build a second one, that’s my next path.

I have some nvlinks on the way.

Sooooo I’ve got a friend that used pcie-oculus and then back to pcie to allow the cards to run outside the case, but that’s not what I do, that’s just the more common approach.

You can also get pcie extension cables, but they’re pricey.

I stumbled upon a cubix device by chance which is a huge and really expensive pcie bus extender that does some really fancy fucking switching. But I got that at a ridiculous price and they’re hard to come by.

If I do it right, I could host 10 cards total (2 in the machine and 8 in the cubix)

This also means that I’m running 3x 1600w psu’s and I’m most at risk for blowing breakers (adding in a 240V line is next lol)

I’m rocking 4 used ones from 4 different people.

So far, all good

You can’t buy 3090’s new anymore anyways.

4090’s are twice as much for 15% better perf, and the 5090’s will be ridiculous prices.

2x3090 is more than enough for basic inference, I have more for training and fine tuning.

You want epyc/threadrupper etc.

You want max pcie lanes.

Given the price of P40’s on eBay vs the price you can get 3090’s for, fuck the P40’s, in rocking quad 3090’s and they kick ass.

Also, Pascale is the OLDEST hardware supported……… for how long?

Also, you’ll want to look for strange specific things to host multiple 3090’s etc… on your motherboard You want a lot of pcie lanes from your chip and board. You want above 4g decoding (fairly common in newer hardware)

Oh look! The oligarch president has decided that “by executive order” TikTok should return!

If only one of us could have seen that coming because an American oligarchy suits China just fine.

Maybe…… but the evidence suggests I’m right, and you seem to have run out of runway.

Have a nice day.

Yeahhhhhhh, disagree that they’re doing a good thing. An American oligarchy works just fine for foreign interests.

The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend

All of social media needs an overhaul, but I promise you that the Chinese don’t want the American society to do well.

The Chinese want very similar social upheaval that the billionaires do, but for different reasons, and mostly worse ones.

Foreign governments don’t care if there’s civil war, they may even desire it.

…… not that there aren’t some western idiots clamouring for the same, both are awful.

Hah! So you want to respond but you don’t want me to? Interesting.

The whole article reads like an advertisement.

I’m fairly certain it is.

The Chinese really like having control over major western social media outlets. They realized the power it gives them, and they’re so terrified by the power social media algorithms have that they released a major statement to all platforms operating in China that the social media algorithms are not to create echo chambers and must abide by a set of rules by June I think?

Yeah the rules they put out showed fear of the power these platforms wield and rightly so.

China is losing TikTok effectively, and they want users to move to the next Chinese platform. This article is an ad for it.

They posted online in a vain attempt to retain control of the next big platform, because messing with the social structure of the west is of key importance to them.

Don’t take the bait. Is a lie.

I mean Jesus, refugees? What a politically charged word to use lol

Tell me more about my “faults” and “condescension” and “ad hominem”, then reread your comments. Yep, there’s some condescension from me here, but you’re also once again trying to throw judgement. “Glass houses” and all.

You win, Have a nice day.

You’re assuming it was backtracking rather than a simple clarification.

That’s unnecessarily unpleasant, and it’s cool you want to feel like you won the argument, but if you add in the context of “new years eve” and then read it as “some other event external to the reason you want to make a change” it’s not backtracking.

In fact it’s just context you missed because of your own life experiences and emotions.

Which is cool, but you look like an ass when you try and secure a win by pointing out your own misunderstanding rather than hearing my clarification.

Neither of those are New Year’s resolutions.

“The day my niece was born” is actually exactly the type of thing I’m talking about. You didn’t wait until new years, or your birthday, or something else unrelated to your motivations. You picked “now” because that was when you felt the desire.

So yes, special days can matter, but the days that matter to YOU are way more important than a day some guy named “Gregorian” chose 2000 years ago.

Not waiting for a day like new years to make a change that helps you.

The best time to do it was probably years ago.

The second best time is today.

Because if you make it about “new years” or some event, then it isn’t about YOU.

Do it for YOU, because you know that you’re worth the same amount of effort and affection as the others in your life.

Would you want this change for your friend? Turn don’t you think you skills care enough about you to give it to yourself?

Or you can do the dns challenge for letsencrypt

Well it’s using one to do the other, so yes

I would bet it’s a way to send money to Russia.

It can’t process 1/100th of what visa does in a day, let alone the other card processors on top of it

Check what your docker subnets are, but that shouldn’t conflict.

That sounds like your local network IP’s are conflicting with the default docker IP addresses.

What is your routers subnet?
