    swap space is a dedicated place on your hard drive that the OS throws stuff to when there isn’t enough ram for everything. this is called swapping. since the hard drive is involved, swapping can slow things down a lot. if you get close to filling both ram and swap space, the machine starts shedding load by killing programs.





  • well… they do get some of it.

    Niue gave away their rights to a company, which passed those rights on to the IIS without Niue getting to do a vote. i think they got some official to sign off on it but it was never a matter for the assembly there. they originally gave the rights in exchange for the company building out internet infrastructure on Niue with the proceeds, and that has been done.

    Niue also agree they should not be the registrar for the TLD, since they don’t have the capacity. so the IIS does do some of the work which needs money. the main issue in the suit is one of “transfer of consent” or something.




  • i have an XTX. it has a TDP of 400 watts. if you install two of them you’ve basically built a medium-effect space heater. you’ll need shitloads of cooling and a pretty beefy power supply.

    performance-wise it’s pretty good. over 100 tokens a second with llama3 and it runs SDXL-Turbo about as fast as i can type.

    word of warning, if you run Linux you need to manually set the fan curves. i had to RMA my first XTX because it didn’t spin the fans up and cooked itself. the VRAM reached 115°C and started failing.
