Or any proof of stake coin like Ethereum, which doesn’t require any mining at all. The electricity argument is extremely out of date for most coins besides Bitcoin itself.

As far as I know GPU mining is pretty much completely dead because after Ethereum switched the yields on everything else tanked.

This is mildly pedantic but you’re not actually running Deepseek R1, you’re running a 7B version of Qwen that’s been fine-tuned on Deepseek R1 outputs. All of the “distilled” models are existing models trained on R1.

If pricing is a concern that shouldn’t rule out a VPS. Managed seedboxes are way more expensive than setting it up yourself for the same amount of storage/bandwidth.

Go to lowendbox.com and/or use serverhunter.com to find a VPS that’s more in your price range. I currently pay $22/mo for 8TB of storage and 50 TB of bandwidth at 1Gbps.

If you absolutely don’t want to use a VPS for some reason, then I had a very good experience with feralhosting. I used them for 3 years without issue. But 8TB with them is around $75/mo compared to the $22/mo I’m paying now.

WINE Is Not an Emulator

I don’t think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.

You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.

I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.

I guess by “cybercrime” they mean piracy, because that’s the main thing I’ve seen .su used for.

PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That’s less than half of pretty much every other provider.

I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.

If you want to do less math you can just drop some zeroes and say it’s the same as making $70k while losing $2.50

+1 for MXroute. I have unlimited domains with 25GB of storage for $30 every 3 years. So less than a dollar per month. Looks like they are still offering it. It’s more than enough for email especially considering the Gmail account I used for 15 years was under 5GB.

I switched to them at the beginning of the year so about 9 months ago and have not had any issues.

Even on Linux where their drivers are supposed to be better, my 7900XTX has been crashing randomly for at least a month and it was only fixed in the latest 6.10.9 kernel release yesterday.

It might be their third most popular country but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s profitable. Brazil isn’t exactly known for spending a lot on things like Twitter Blue or ads, especially per capita.

I have a theory they looked at the numbers and realized that shedding the load would save more money than they would gain by staying. But then again that might be giving Elon too much credit.

I remember Overwatch was one of the first DirectX 11 games to run really well when DXVK was new too.

Oh hey, I love your work on Plasma’s HDR and color management. Glad to see you on Lemmy.

Phoronix is the ONLY website I disable uBlock Origin for.

I thought it was weird such an old piece of software had so much Rust in it. I noticed all the Rust-related things while Firefox Librewolf compiles but never looked into it further.

There is a pretty big difference in terms of usability between Arch and everything else because of the rolling release model and the AUR. Lots of things you would have to manually install from a git repo or track down a PPA for can be installed like a normal package.

This breaks any site that uses CloudFlare’s Turnstile for me. It will loop forever and never let me through if my user agent is set to Chrome.
