Proxmox has built-in support for CEPH, which is promoted as VMFS equivalent. I don't have much experience with them, so can't tell if it's really on the same level.

That is the problem. LLMs can't be trusted. I was searching on HuggingFace for the model which can fit on my system RAM + VRAM. And the way HuggingFace shows the models - bunch of files, showing size for each file, but doesn't sho

2x CPU system may be slower for LLM than 1x CPU system. Because in 2x CPU system, the model may have to be passed via NUMA, which has 10% - 30% of memory bandwidth bandwidth

I saw quite a few of similar situations, when people are doing their best, because they're responsible, and if they will not take care of things - something bad will happen. I always suggest the "principle of lost packets". L

The difference is that with Microsoft you often still can use unsupported product. You can use Windows XP today, even though it's not very useful. But you can't use Google Reader or Google Wave in any shape or form.

I wonder, is it any different, if it's not just average "you", but CEO? Don't they have additional security measures? May be not, I think Jeff Bezo's WhatsApp was hacked few years ago...
