  • Any tips on a specific server model(s)? Years ago I got a GIANT ebay 4u server which I intended to use as a security video server and run a custum isa 16channel bnc card but none of the linux drivers worked. I then started to write my own driver based on video4linux but the card was so old I couldn’t find white paper on i/o specs and scope and logic analyzer couldn’t handle the frequencies for reverse engineering so I just used it for a year as a 200lb paperweight samba server. If I could find something cheap and lightweight with modern hardware that could possibly work. If it already came with the ram that would be a nice bonus.


  • I was thinking about throwing together a linux box and running a smol deep seek model locally but it looks like ima put that on hold for a while. I just checked ebay and used prices for 64GB are out of control as well. Any chance big ai is influencing this? They really seem desperate to get revenue on the books. I am getting hit up for ai services at every turn now. Firefox is asking me if I want my web browsing summarized by ai (NO), google wants me to let them review my email (NO), github trying to force me to use copilot (i use a free model), Insurance tape worms are advertising their use of ai and I’m just waiting for chase bank to push it on me (NO)




  • Based on my very limited understanding of economics it means one of two things.

    1. Russia is fucked and Putin is hurtin for certain
    2. Russia is practicing modern monetary theory like every other country.

    So you got a system in a feedback loop right?

    Two inputs: unemployment rate and inflation rate

    One output: stable economy that can find and hold prices

    Two knobs you can twiddle: central bank interest rates and federal tax rates

    So taking assumption Russia is in fact not fucked then they got four choices:

    1. raise tax lower interest rate
    2. lower tax raise interest rate
    3. raise both
    4. lower both

    and then monitor output for desired result, tweak again and check results

    Actually five choices 5) do nothing

    Actually six choices 6) revolution-grab both corners of the table cloth and rip the entire thanksgiving dinner on to the floor and start over. Turkey gravy cranberry sauce macaroni and cheese rolls pumpkin pie relish tray green bean casserole all of it onto the floor and start over like the Bolsheviks did.
