For the first time in my life I own a PC with a reasonable powerful dedicated graphics card. It's the Nvidia RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM. I know it's older and so on but before that I only had laptops and integrated GPUs which were not very powerful.

I bought it specifically to edit videos and it works very well for it. But I edit videos perhaps once a month and the rest of the time the GPU is practically idling.

What I found is that I can run up to 14b big LLMs on it, so I set it up and am using it for that too, and it's really a lot of fun which I didn't quite expect.

And therefore I'm wondering what other fun things I could do with this graphics card, any tips?

Gaming is not very entertaining to me, I do it even more seldom than video editing, so I'm looking for other things.

I just wanted to tell the story about some of my encounters with people which had low odds of happening.

I'm on Arch (btw.) and I have a Intel i5-14600K CPU with a iGPU (UHD Graphics 770) (GPU 1) in it and a dGPU from Nvidia, the RTX 3060 (GPU 0). I have one monitor connected to the 3060 via display port 1.4.

I can see both GPUs in GNOME Mission Center, but hte iGPU has always Clock Speed 0 and Utilization 0. So anything which is done on the GPU is done on the 3060.

I want to seperate what is done on the iGPU and what is done on the 3060:

dGPU (RTX 3060):

1. Video editing
2. video transcoding
3. AI stuff (ollama)
4. Machine learning
5. Blender
6. Steam games

iGPU (intel):

1. Firefox (especially YouTube video decoding, it has hw acceleration for that)
2. Chrome
3. Libre Office
4. GNOME
5. etc.

I wonder if this or at least parts of it is possible. I need the whole 12 GB VRAM on the 3060 for ollama, and the iGPU is just sitting there doing nothing. Is there a way to distribute the work? Do I need two screens for that or something?

It might also be that I'm misunderstanding how the whole thing works or over estimating Linuxes capabilities.

In Japan they have a couple of very cool J-Rock bands like Polkadot Stingray, FREDERIK, KANA BOON or Band Maid.

I just found another one: NECRY TALKIE.

Over the years I accumulated very many services which I host myself and each of them has it's own URL:

• 6 websites, mine and my sisters
• 3 instances of home assistant
• Uptime Kuma
• Synology with photos on it
• Matrix server
• Firefox sync
• TinyTinyRSS
• Mastodon
• PeerTube
• PieFed
• Immich
• Open WebUI (for local large language models)
• UniFi (CCTV)
• Baïkal (Cal- and CardDav)

I'm probably forgetting some of them now and I'm planning to host more in the future.

The problem is how to remember all of those URLs or domains. I have a system how I call them, but my extended family can't really remember them.

I think it's time for a landing page. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I am looking for Davinci Resolve Studio for Linux.

On PirateBay there is only Windows and one for Mac. They don't even have a Linux apps category, only UNIX.

On 1337x.to they don't have categories for the different operating systems, but from what I can see it's only windows.

It costs $300 one time, which is a very fair price and I will pay it if it works on my computer. But because it's so much money I want to check if it really works before I move over the money.

I tried the free version and it's cool but it can't handle the files from my Sony A7C and I need to transcode all of them before editing, that takes a lot of space and a lot of time because I have hundreds of files for each project. Theoretically the paid version should be able to use my Intel iGPU which has hardware acceleration for the file format my camera spits out. This way I could use both my GPUs at the same time.

Damn this show is getting better and better! This Episode in the outside looks stylisticly svery different but yet srangly similar to the ones inside.

All the twists and turns which get revealed in the last quarter, very cool!

This episodes differentness reminded me of another one og my favorite shows which changer the style frequently, Community.

Who would have known that Ben Stiller had so much creativity in him, I love it! Can't wait for next Friday!

I'm on Arch Linux btw. and I have a RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM which is cool so a 14b model fits into the VRAM. It works quite well but I wonder if there is any way to help with the speed even more by trying to utilize the iGPU in my Intel 14600K. It always just sits there not doing anything.

But I don't know if it even makes sense to try. From what I read in some comments on the internet, the bottleneck will be the ram speed in the iGPU, which will use my normal ram which is a magnitude slower than the VRAM.

Does anyone have any experience with that?

Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors:

• Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal.
• Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records. As an organization that values privacy, removing this requirement is important to us.
• Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year, money that we believe can be better spent on other aspects of our infrastructure.
• Providing expiration notifications adds complexity to our infrastructure, which takes time and attention to manage and increases the likelihood of mistakes being made. Over the long term, particularly as we add support for new service components, we need to manage overall complexity by phasing out system components that can no longer be justified.

The last post about it has been deleted because of a technicality that is wasn't a link to a secondary source but instead a screenshot of the primary source, which really goes against the spirit of the rule applied. It had many good comments and a lot of engagement so I'm posting a link now instead.

It's the time of the year again where we make Lunar New Years Dumplings at my parent's in law's place again.

Every year I'm getting better at shaping them.

This year they are with pork and beef mixed and half of them are with cabbage and the other half with celery.
