  • I was trying to get dual 3090 passthrough working in a VM on my Proxmox server for like a week. The VM would not detect both GPUs, just the first and everything the forums and Reddit threads on this issue checked out. As far as I could tell, it was happy with everything, nothing was amiss. And yet the VM would only ever detect 1 GPU and 1 GPU audio controller.

    I spent a week on it before realizing I had put a .1 in the PCIe ID field in the VM hardware settings instead of .0. .1 references the audio controller of the second GPU and not the GPU itself lolol













  • But this is not the first system package replaced by a rust rewrite (on some distros) - something that has been working well for so long and is so fundamental for so many other softwares - is that wise?

    Was there ever a problem wrt memory safety with sudo?

    There’s been plenty of cases of a piece of software/library/whatever “working well” for years until one day OOPS there’s actually a gaping vulnerability in it. Hopefully, it’s a researcher that finds it first so it can be patched, but that doesn’t always happen. That’s how there’s a whole market for “0 days”

    “Working well” != “Secure”

    thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).

    But, not all AI is corporate run, there’s plenty of AI models to choose from that are open source including image generation models

    And actually, image generation models are much easier to run on “affordable” consumer hardware than LLMs
