  • Don’t listen to the haters but it would have been nice if you collapsed this because it is very long and generalized to the point that it is pretty much an eyesore. Plus most people can ask their AI of choosing semi-random topics. I don’t see what was interesting in the AI response at all. It states some blatantly obvious facts and is rather too wordy. I intentionally include into the system prompt or “personalization” about how I like things to be kept short and to not reiterate what I had posted especially if it just sounds like the “AI” is thinking out loud.


  • I run a personal dnsmasq just for dns resolving/routing. It integrates well with Networkmanager. Easy to work with and very reliable to have the DNS resolution and routing be handled by dnsmasq. Single command to reload NetworkManager which also reloads the integrated dnsmasq. I like it and it offers a lot of control for me. I hate having to use the hosts file for when I am connecting to labs via VPN with their own network. dnsmasq is way better at handling subdomains than the hosts file and it feels way more reliable than just hoping the minimal DNS routing system works properly.



  • I think the biggest limiting factor for your mini PC will always be the VRAM and any workload that enjoys that fast RAM speed. Really, I think this mini PC from framework is only sensible for certain workloads. It was poised as a mobile chip and certainly is majorly power efficient. On the other hand I don’t think it is for large scaling but more for testing at home or working at home on the cheap. It isn’t something I expected from framework though as I expected them to maintain modularity and the only modularity here is the little USB cards and the 3D printed front panel designs lol

    Edit
    Personally I am in that niche market of high RAM speed. Also, access to high VRAM for occasional LLM testing. Though it is an AMD and I don’t know if am comfortable switching from Nvidia for that workload just yet. Renting a GPU is just barely cheap enough.





  • I know this is a day old and most people who would have seen this already have moved on, but this is a simple fix. In fact if you have secure boot enabled, the Nvidia driver installation will detect it and start the signing process. If you don’t have secure boot enabled, then it will skip it. I think having secure boot enabled and properly signing your drivers is good to not end up in that situation again. Though I understand how annoying it can be too. Sigh
