Good thing Debian stable is always several versions behind... Sometimes slow but steady wins the race.

I have a 3070TI and things ran decent enough. I threw in some old DND 5E books and it was able to pull up items from stat blocks and tables decently enough. The non-OCR book was a bit of a struggle. Might be a good lookup helper for a DM. I also have 64GB of ram and it is a matter of trading...

It depends on your hardware and what you are looking to get out of it. There is quite a bit of discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/ Coding assistants are popular, role playing chats, and there are now options to read local files as a backend dataset. The largest factor right...

From what I read the combinations are generated by ChatGPT (or equivalent).

Steam uses a ton of CPU power to download and decompress the game updates. That I checked you couldn't disable updates entirely but I set my games to update at 5am and I just leave my client closed when I am not using it then update manually.

My computer has five SSDs. Three of them are M.2 and two of them are SATA. My NAS still has spinners though. Once you get a drive that goes 6GB/s+ you can't go back.

All these years I have just used NoScript and skipped both Adblock Plus and UBO. Way back in the day I used the original Adblock before I just switched to NoScript. Mostly because my main goal was to stop sites from executing whatever they wanted in my browser. Am I really missing anything by...

I use Firefox with NoScript and have Youtube Premium. I just tested it and noticed no slow downs. Firefox is using 1% CPU during video playback. No delays or adblock prompt (some sites detect NoScript as an adblocker).

Using a VPN is the best option, or something like Zero-Tier. I have noticed one issue with Comcast for some services. When I am on my home network I can connect directly using my computer name and port. But if I connect through my domain desktop.domain.com that points at my external IP it will...

I made the graphics suggestions they they recommended on their Steam home page and it ran fine. I have a middling city that I've spent about 2 hours on and it runs pretty good with my 7900X and 3070TI. There were moments it chugged it bit when my city was hit by a tornado but it ran fine otherwise.

As long as the power coming from the PSU is from the same 12V rail it shouldn't matter if the 12V are all bonded in the adapter.

I have a Brother HL-L3290CDW and it works great. I'd bet any Brother laser printer would be worth it.

You are right. Thanks for the heads up.
