Do you have an old raspberry pi or laptop? Netbootxyz will run on a potato with ethernet.

I have NetBoot.xyz on my network for ipxe booting. They have memtest as a boot image, ran that for a few days. I don’t remember if it found the stick that was bad or if I just started pulling and booting and process of elimination.

Have you made sure your ram modules are all good? Was getting funky behavior with truenas in a proxmox vm, come to find out one of my 32gb sticks was bad. Removed the stick, no funky behavior. Replaced with a different stick, been solid since, maybe a year and a half on now.

It states here that the 9300 is quicksync enabled, so should have no problem with nvec @4k. How many streams? I don’t know that one.

Yea, but soon we’ll have no states to vpn to, and we will have to start using the Quebec servers, then all the websites will be in French and I’ll have to learn a new language.

Everyone is mentioning nvidia, but amds rocm has improved tremendously in the last few years, making a 6900xt 16gb an attractive option for me. I currently have a 6700xt 12gb that works no problem with ollama and comfyui, and an instinct mi25 16gb that works with some fiddling as well. From what I understand, an mi50 32gb requires less fiddling. However the instinct line is passively cooled, so finding a way to cool it might be a reason to stay away from them.

Edit: I should add, my experience is on a few Linux distributions, I can not attest to the experience on windows.

Almost everything I have runs Debian or NixOS, so……… once a month? Except for VMs I’m playing around with, which usually get updated every time I log into them, or instal stuff.

ChatGPT now just says “read the docs!” To every question
