Android transfers are really fucking stupid. I refuse to use Google drive or complicated sync that barely works and I refuse to pay money for an ftp transfer or samba share app that actually works, so I made a php file upload server. Yes, I see the irony. But I can upload files from my pc or from my phone and download them from my phone or my pc. It’s so much faster than any other method I can think of. Even using Windows where the android USB drivers are allowed to work is slower. Runs into issues less often. Php is such a piece of shit but in my case it’s a less shitty piece of shit than any possible alternative.

Cool I didn’t know llamacpp could do gpu acceleration at all. I’m going to look into that.

I think I might be on to something that contributes to the problem. The built-in “KoboldGPT chat” option puts some example queries in its context memory. They aren’t very long responses so I think it’s just seeing that and using it as a guideline for what to say which results in shorter answers.

If I use the “new chat” option instead of “KoboldGPT chat”, it makes it so that nothing is in the context. No prompt and no memory. This way when I tell it to write 500 words of crap, it doesn’t quite write that much but it’s a lot better than before. Pressing enter to make it generate more text works more often this way too.

I think I’ll wait for PCSX2 2.0 2 to come out.

Coqui xtts is broken right now, at least on Debian. I did not try xtts2. Yet turns out I already tried that one. After my computer is done being frozen from my latest hacking attempt to make a borked tts python maybe work, I’ll add whatever the error is.

The docker installation for the first one is broken just FYI but I guess I should be trying to use whichever one is the most up to date for higher chances of success.

I kind of don’t really care anymore. Fuck all this broken shit. I’m sure whichever leading github repository that does this same thing a couple years from now will be easier to install so I’ll just wait until then to mess with it.

I’m still waiting for operating systems to have the ability via ui buttons to prioritize ethernet over wifi. I’m sure there’s a bunch of Linux terminal stuff you can do instead but meh.

Another part of it is the gpu bios. The gpu bios contains x86 opcodes that it expects the host system to run for gpu-specific functions like video mode switching and probably lots of other stuff. I know that Vesa bios extensions mode switching requires a pointer to the functions in the gpu bios which the cpu runs. I tried to make a platform independent Vesa driver one time and couldn’t figure out how to circumvent using the gpu bios for it since the functions you’re supposed to call are compiled for x86. Even the well-refined projects like Seabios still rely on the VBE pointers for non-legacy video modes.

Legacy vga does also has a bios but it’s relatively not that difficult to circumvent using the bios on legacy vga cards, only issue is that legacy vga modes are mostly useless.

I think there’s a newish way of doing this stuff that doesn’t involve Vesa or legacy vga but I don’t know what it is. This I’m sure is only one of the many problems that have to be overcome if someone wanted to hack a 1080ti onto a raspberry pi or something.

I don’t want arm or risc v to replace x86 unless we still get to have motherboards with upgradable cpu sockets. And ram slots. And gpu compatible pcie slots. None of the current players are going to give us anything like that.

I’d be happy if they even sold hobbiests loose chips so we could figure it out ourself though. The arm and risc microprocessors on mouser are like the bottom of the barrel leftovers after the corpos have had their pick.

What would be the possibility of there someday existing arm or risc v boards with pci-e slots that can take graphics cards? I don’t know that steam even lets developers make a arm linux version of their game or not, but in theory you’d be able to play open source compilable stuff from github.

I installed void linux which I guess defaults to wayland and everything ran like crap until I switched to x11. Have fun with that.

I sold my switch that I stupidly bought when they first came out. People are still buying them and I got more than I expected. Switches with lower firmware numbers are probably worth more money due to jailbreaks and stuff but I didn’t research switch mods or anything.

There was this editor that let you make esm files. I can’t remember if it was already in the game folder or you had to download from steam but it must not have been hard to set up. I remember using it to make one of the buyable houses really big on the inside.

Starfield could have been a way better game if all they did was fuck it up like 45% less. They could have alternatively just delivered on their promises of making the game easy to mod and let the community handle the rest but they fucked that up too. Only the most dedicated of Starfield fan would have the patience to sit down and do all the shit it takes to add a new quest for example. Iirc even Skyrim came with a mod editor with ui that was easy to understand. Right now all we have is a community xedit project that’s somehow even harder to run on Linux than Starfield is.

Rpg maker

not on pc

Wonder what big brain came up with that

But when’s Half Life 3 coming out?

If Nintendo would put half the effort into game development as they put into picking legal fights, maybe they could make profit off their video games enough they wouldn’t have to do lawsuit trolling.

Sony is just trying to follow Nintendo’s example of generally shitty behavior.
