The brew guide from GLITCH comes with a grind size reference in a small bag (left). Seemingly wants me to set the grind setting on my Niche Zero to “a different grinder”

Flashing random firmware and casually passing the "yeah don't worry the hardware id is different" flag will never feel nice

Convincing libfabric to see my NICs on Arch Linux

I really need a browser extension which adds neal.fun/stimulation-... to ChatGPT Pro progress bar. Otherwise I fall into other time-sinks waay too easily

I have borderline zero idea what all those random names mean/do, but the thing compiled now. No idea if it works tho.

Pretty fun to enter a new technology and feel absolutely clueless.

Next step is to get LookingGlass setup running, shouldn't take long, but I'm also tired enough today.
January 12, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Oh yeah, I run Arch (btw), and of course nothing can compile with the most latestest libraries.

I guess we contribute some to open source tomorrow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's ALIVE!

Now just need to put a super jank fan in the other computer and do the same setup there.
January 12, 2025 at 12:33 AM
Also this says InfiniBand now, no weird packages needed!
January 12, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Deeeefinitely needed a fan, was ~80-90c to the touch, maybe more.

Now taken care of

The IB disabled issue wouldn't be half bad, but both of those machines are on Arch Linux, and best packages are either Debs or RPMs.

At least there are also from-source versions, but I don't think I have the patience for that

I guess let's reboot and see if there are any bios knobs. Also add a fan

* The card seems to have Infiniband disabled
* To enable I need mellanox drivers
* It also seems to see PCIe errors (?) not sure if that's a big issue :shrug:
* It's also getting high temperature errors, probably due to being put into a peasant desktop case instead of a real machine

Let’s see how smooth setting up RDMA between two non-server AMD machines goes

NVIDIA DIGITS couldn't be announced at a better time.

I have a dark fiber that I could use for remote display with Looking Glass over RDMA with lgproxy (4k 120hz hdr, ~60Gbps), and this cute little thing solves all of my client side problems with its hopefully 2x 100Gbps NICs

There are a bunch, even htop is reasonable these days - it defaults to single bar on many core systems, and you can view all cores in up to 16 columns, which is reasonably compact with even 512 thread systems (2x 128core CPUs)

I do wish there was a way to display use grouped by L2/L3 caches though.

Well, thanks Google, but can you please elaborate what that unit is?

Likely related is that the burst of allocated memory in the first post happened after a large download, and also my network card is throwing a ton of AER errors for some reason (probably need to re-seat the CPU, tried other things) - but those errors were there for over a year now
November 21, 2024 at 11:27 AM
My kernel was doing some really weird stuff recently, where something (in the kernel?) is allocating a ton of memory that isn't really accounted for anywhere (not in slab, not anywhere userspace (processes add up to 4GiB total), just kinda there

Rolling back to older LTS kernel seems to fix things

Below what number is cool?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #49!

And some pure vibes

Later on I made those cool small PCBs with two 7seg displays showing 8 bits of data as hex (driven by some attiny, was far cheaper than using parallel EPROMs as a lut)
