Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

tmp note: Code formatting is now [code][/code]

Currently out of my budget, though I may try to get an "AI" system for cheap if/when the "Open"AI bubble bursts.
It is more likely I'll just get a Chinese RISC-V system that happens to have a TPU though.

I've also downloaded Unsloth's DeepSeek-V3-0324 231GB model. Runs at only 0.5 tokens/s but it skips the lengthy "thinking" stage.
Apparently llama.cpp supports distributed inference. I have some old hardware that's just gathering dust, perhaps I should recommission it.
deepseek-r1-on-xfs-vs-f2fs.txt
(7.2KB)
I improved DeepSeek-V3 performance from 0.5 to 1.2 tokens/s by tuning the filesystem:
- I was using transparent ZSTD compression at first, which had much higher overhead than I anticipated (fast NVMe SSDs are something else...).
- LLMs are already highly compressed, so gains from LZ4 are <0.5% or less. Not worth the CPU overhead, even if quite minimal.
- Checking htop, CPU I/O overhead still seemed substantial. I decided to wipe the SSD entirely with nvme format and put xfs on it (instead of f2fs).
- I copied the files with rsync -rav --preallocate and also ensured it actually is defragmented with xfs_fsr to ensure filesystem overhead is minimal.

Checking with iotop, I/O bandwidth is about
- 5.6G/s during warmup
- 6.0G/s to 6.5g/s when parsing input
- 2.5G/s to 3.8G/s when emitting tokens

Doubling the amount of threads (on a 8C/16T CPU) only slows it down, which suggests I'm DRAM-bandwidth limited again. So fixing the timings is next on the menu.

DeepSeek-R1 performance also improved a bit, from 1.4 tokens/s to 1.66 tokens/s

The modern internet is absolute cancer, so here's some old-school alternatives to some of the major aspects of the modern web. If you have any others you'd like to mention and discuss, feel free.

Instead of social media and forums, try using Usenet and BBSes. There exists many a BBS to choose from, and you can even create your own. Usenet newsgroups exist for many, many topics, and if you wanna create one (ideally based on a topic with some decent amount of appeal), you can even present your idea to the folks at alt.config and they *may* create a newsgroup for you.

Instead of blogging on sites like Tumblr, Myspace, and all those sites with period blood smeared all over them, try running a Gopherspace. It's text-only and uncluttered, and there's no JavaShit to bog down the experience.

Instead of GitHub, host all your code on an FTP site. And instead of posting videos to JewTube, you can make the videos downloadable on that same FTP site, along with anything else you wanna offer up.

Finally, instead of insecure messaging applications, use encrypted email.

But there's nothing fun about running a spam filter. It just wastes a lot of resources. I'd rather just let my ISP handle it, since I'm already paying them for that shit.
simply host your http site as txt files on tor&i2p. you can use images and video, just link them separately. gemini and gopher are bloat and memes. not just html, all markup is bloat.

Why do we not have a proper, portable GUI system that is as or even more flexible as HTML/CSS?

There's Win32, there's Apple's shit and then there's whatever the fuck Linux has that isn't GNOME and raw framebuffer.

But it is... economically. Using shit technologies that the job market is saturated with
it may suck for the end user, but it's much cheaper for the kikes to employ and replace webniggers even if all they can produce is slop.
And they were at no risk of losing the end user because everything is a monopoly.

 HELP COCK.LI 

> You don't need anything but an Internet connection to use cock.li. If all you had was a library card you could use a public computer to get an e-mail account. It's a strange thing to say about a joke website, but cock.li improves access to services for marginalized people globally, without connecting into some corporate system.

> I've never got so much laughter out of anything in my life than my time here. It's not even close. The funniest e-mails I've ever read were sent on cock.li, some of them to me directly. I'm the worst at responding, but I read every e-mail you send me. Every password reset request, every schizo ramble, every question, every story.

> Vincent Canfield

The email provider cock.li is facing legal difficulties to keep the services running.

Vincent, the creator and administrator for over 2 decades has asked for donations to help with the recent challenges. He and his team have provided the service free of charge all this time. Now it's time for us to provide something in return.

Daily updates about the situation will be available at:

It is not just technologies that is undergoing this treatment. There are many crafts and practices that have fallen under the history because of economics of scale. The quality of a lot of hand made goods, food and other things are a lot better then the commercial mass-production. Worse still, the products are often made worse, worth less and break easier, to promote consumption. Email was designed at a time where people all have their domain names and host servers. When ISPs and governing bodies tightened the leashes, port 25 was blocked for all household. The era of thr wild west of the internet is over. Everything now is dull.

Big update at cock.li, looks like they've sorted everything out and are on green status.
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/vJgrf

The new message:
>Hello, cock.li is back again.
>Cock.li's administration team has identified connections between the registration and addition to cock.li of the domain hitler.rocks and two intelligence agencies who directly benefited from its association to the service. The administration team is declining to name the agencies or individuals.
>Cock.li has provided free e-mail service to Internet users since 2013. Its assortment of shock domains has provided immeasurable comedic value to e-mail users worldwide, much to the shagrin of people with no funny bones. The domain itself has never ever mattered, what's always mattered is whether it could make us laugh when we imagine a friend receiving an e-mail and reading the domain aloud.
>Case in point: The domain horsefucker.org was added before anyone remotely associated with cock.li realized its origins are from a community that watches My Little Pony porn. We've carried that clop for all these years because even after realizing its true origins, the story of this domain only got funnier.
>The story of hitler.rocks did not get funnier when we uncovered its origins. After a thorough investigation which has taken place over the last several years, we've concluded it is extremely likely that hitler.rocks was originally offered to cock.li as a poison fruit intended to destabilize the service. And we are certain that the same agencies who were in a position to execute such an operation took every advantage of its association to cock.li, including threatening to associate the domain with unrelated parties in order to convince them to antagonize our service in various acts of cowardice.
>In addition to threats, these same agencies are connected to actual attacks against the service. One individual associated with hitler.rocks and later connected to the identified agencies admitted to signing cock.li's abuse mailbox up for thousands of mailing lists, resulting in millions of spam e-mails and a measurable and permanent decrease in our efficiency in processing abuse reports.
>We've long known that domains like hitler.rocks can lead to confusion of our values and have the potential for misuse. Clarifying those values would be like explaining the joke, so if you are still confused why we found the domain funny enough to host e-mail on, maybe you could understand that cock.li was never supposed to get so big that you would see it in the first place. We also don't give a shit what you find funny or not.
>As a result of our investigation, we've decided that tainted domains like hitler.rocks which we conclude were offered to the service maliciously will never be available for registration again, and may be subject to a future sunset period and service closure. Most of the other domains which disappeared from registration at the same time are either not funny enough to re-add, or are still subject to their own investigation.
>Any complaints about not naming the intelligence agencies responsible are valid. The investigation and disclosure could have been quicker, too. Sorry.
>One of the best domains on cock.li, nigge.rs, was wrongly subjected to this same treatment and has been closed for registration for several years. Cock.li stands no longer for the baseless discrimination of this strong and independent domain. So, it is our pleasure to announce that nigge.rs is available for immediate public registration once again.
>It's our hope by making this announcement you will be better informed of one of the mechanisms that shape the course of speech online. Anyone intending to disrupt cock.li in the future should be warned we will patiently dig at the roots of your operation until we uncover its most basic attacks on human rights. But as of now we at cock.li should hopefully have the closure we need to heal from this mess and move forward with our work on the service.
