As mentioned on the discord regarding the forum -> discord summary, I think this is a great idea, a weekly summary that keeps folks on both sides in the loop.
I often wonder if people from the US and elsewhere were ever told about the experiences we, as a nation, lived through, during WW2.
In particular - rationing and food provision. It's often a trope in American media that 'British food is terrible' yet never stop to consider why that might have...
Unfortunately, with only 16GB RAM in the system and no way to expand it (single SO-DIMM DDR4 slot, 8GB soldered to the board), the BIOS won't allow more than 2GB allocated as VRAM.
nVidia has CUDA, AMD has ROCm and then...if you're not lucky, you have nothing, for GPU accelerated LLM workloads? NO! Because Ollama now supports Vulkan! This means that if, like me, you have a machine that's not cutting edge, you can still leverage the power of the GPU to accelerate the...
There have been legitimate instances of people that have come to our discord that have no idea we had a forum, either, mostly because they're not the sort of people that 'do' forums...
I don't believe so, it's just life happens. People aren't duty bound to finish a passion project per a schedule - there are more important things going on for some people and time and money are in ever shorter supply.
I know that one barrier for a lot of people has been that there were too many subcategories and it was potentially confusing where to post. Lately, i've been tidying and consolidating the options - hopefully it'll be simpler to people now!
The only thing i can think of then, is the friction on the roller itself, the surface might be too worn/smooth - can you replace the roller with a piece of silicone vacuum hose, or similar?
It took a few more days but...IT'S DONE! Needed to wait for the Hitachi GD-2500 4x DVD drive (same one I had back in the day, OMG the tray noise was a ratatouille/anton ego memory/flashback!) in order to load Windows 2000 off of CD.
I swapped the GPU for a GeForce 2 Ti - kinda appropriate age...
There's not been anything for director of policies to do for 2 years, roughly. Any work at this point would be mostly minor.
There's not been any need for a PR liason, the secretary fulfills that role for the most part.
Moderators don't require a board directorship to function.
Most of the...
As i'm as old as the dirt beneath my feet, when Slot-A stuff came out, I was rocking a Pentium II 233Mhz (running at 266MHz), on an Intel i440LX board. Over the years I couldn't afford anything on that side of things despite being in AWE of the Pentium III crushing device from AMD, the perennial...
We'll definitely stay active - the decisions we make are ultimately meant to keep this place afloat for the longest time. My term as president is up, so it'll be up to someone else to take the reins.
Exactly my feeling - we can always INCREASE if needed in the future, but for now - things just run along just fine with a small group. Finding people to stand for positions and take their time is a hard enough ask as it is.
