For the really old stuff, I used to do NetBSD. I'm sure their 32bit x86 support is still top notch.
Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.
These are amazing. Dell, Lenovo and I think HP made these tiny things and they were so much easier to get than Pi's during the shortage. Plus they're incredibly fast in comparison.
Same. I loved the idea of what VE does but playing the game was just a confusing mess for me. I stick to the same 8 mods I always use.
Ryzen 5900X, 64 gig DDR4-3200, 2tb ssd,10tb hdd and an RTX2070. Hosting Stable Diffusion, various llama.cpp instances with python bindings, jellyfin, sonarr, multiple modded minecraft servers, and a network file share.
They look kinda weird at this age. The blue egg under them eventually hatched.
I hate these filthy neutrals...
Looks like the original base is suffering from some toxic fallout... might be a while. Enjoy building a new colony here!
The advancements in this space have moved so fast, it's hard to extract a predictive model on where we'll end up and how fast it'll get there.
Meta releasing LLaMA produced a ton of innovation from open source that showed you could run models that were nearly the same level as ChatGPT with less parameters, on smaller and smaller hardware. At the same time, almost every large company you can think of has prioritized integrating generative AI as a high strategic priority with blank cheque budgets. Whole industries (also deeply funded) are popping up around solving the context window memory deficiencies, prompt stuffing for better steerability, better summarization and embedding of your personal or corporate data.
We're going to see LLM tech everywhere in everything, even if it makes no sense and becomes annoying. After a few years, maybe it'll seem normal to have a conversation with your shoes?
