Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

I just got a mouse for my SNES and it’s great watching people play Mario Paint for the first time.

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

I only got a house as the monthly was below that of rent. When I was renting, I read the richest man in Babylon book. Its a bit dated advice, but I combined that with the play yourself monthly mentally. What I mean is I set aside some money each month for me to spend on anything extra. New pants, go out to movies, whatever. This money can also carryover to allow for a larger purchase, like a phone.

Anyway, don’t look to others as an indicator to your life journey. Write your story and don’t stress.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

I didn’t game, but use Bazzite. It has worked on every system I’ve installed it on, even an old AMD A6. I just feel safe in there, but it’s not perfect. And the distro is large.

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.
