My favorite smell is also my favorite word; Petrichor. It’s the smell of the earth when it rains after an extended dry period.

From Wikipedia “from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) ‘rock’; or πέτρος (pétros) ‘stone’ and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr) ‘ichor’, the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.”

“the front fell off?!”

They’ve been temporarily removed for about a year now lol

I’m actually quite happy with it. It’s a 24gb p40 which runs some of the older LLMs quite well. Repasting with liquid metal helped thermals a ton too

It’s a Tesla P40 24gb I got off eBay a while ago. Just like AllHailTheSheep suggested, it’s a server GPU meant for compute workflows so it relies on forced air from a server rack. I repasted the die with liquid metal and added a 3d printed duct to attach the radial blower to. The thing never cracks 60c under inference which is nice. Idles around 24c

(Edit: I’m mostly using it for LLMs, but it supposedly makes a good CAD card, so I might give that a shot too)

Thank you 🥹 It’s been quite the experience lol

My janky homelab lol. Mostly ebay secondhand Enterprise stuff and a Chinese SXM2 mezzanine board to run dual NVLinked 16gb V100s. I also have a TrueNAS Sacle mini itx server running upstairs with my “arr” stack and some other useful tools.
