I do security stuff. Sometimes I'll even talk about it. Mostly rambling streams of consciousness though.

You've been warned.

Fuck.

If you've ever met @bind.bsky.social, then you know this is just fucking tragic. One of the most interesting, fun and kind people I've had the chance to be a friend to.

Help support getting him home for his final days. Please.

Got bored, and tired of manually installing docker engine on my fleet of Ubuntu 24.04 hosts.

So I decided to do something useful, and created a
bash script for it.

Yes, I know docker has a script. But this is mine, does what I exactly need.

OK I think Ive got stable diffusion chugging along now.

Ok, different model for prompt generation shows some improvements...

For shits and gigs stood up Stable Diffusion on the Orin-AGX and pointed OpenwebUI at it for Image Gen.

Might need a little tweaking.

This is a hacker, in the style of the Simpsons.

Got cuda/drivers all sorted, and spun up
ollama & OpenWebUI

I am able to run 70b Parameter models without any issues now, like llama3.3 This is getting fun.

Asked it for a SWOT analysis of interest rates.

Didn't seem to stress the system too much.

Finalized the homelab AI Server today. Happy with how it turned out, considering it was built from all spare parts 😉

Build:
AMD Ryzen 5950x
NVidia RTX A6000
1TB NVME
x2 1TB SSD
64GB DDR4 RAM
1000w SF PSU

All crammed into a SFF case with an AIO and enough fans to keep it chill.

I really hope they find and capture the Iranian drone mother ship hiding off of the coast or New Jersey.
December 12, 2024 at 1:47 AM
Ah, this makes total sense! As a reaction to drones flying over New Jersey, citizens have begun to launch their *OWN* drones over New Jersey to track those drones and like, help. Because more drones in the air is definitely not going to cause more reports of drones in New Jersey!!
December 12, 2024 at 1:42 AM
Oh I get it. The hostile nation is invading us with drones that are massive, noisy and have blinking lights. But the lights only stop blinking when a person *sees* them.

Makes tons of sense.

Sigh.

Congress is really just the worst when it comes to speculation over anything remotely technical.
December 12, 2024 at 1:26 AM
lol soooooo

I can now run 70b parameter models at home without breaking a sweat.....

The GPU gets a bit.... warm.....

Heard the earthquake was just a pretext for a tsunami scare executed by APT29.

Stay vigilant.

This United Healthcare CEO assassination is fucking wild.

Police now believe the weapon used was a B&T VP9

Basically a modern version of the Welrod used by the OSS in like WW2

9mm, Integrated suppressor. Costs around $6,000 USD.

Super rare weapon. And the shooter was very familiar with it.

I had a tired.

People-ing is invigorating and exhausting all at once.

Out of the blue and into the black.

They give you this. But you pay for that.

This poor Jetson AGX Oring is getting brutalized by my sloppy local AI pipeline and I think I love it.
