I would use it to ssh and tmux to my servers, to display stats/logs and start simple scripts when needed, like a "wireless KVM". I understand many people use smartphones or tablets for that, but I don't like the idea of

Have you tried quantization? It's often a cheap and simple way to reduce the VRAM requirements. What hardware are you using? (CPU,RAM,GPU,VRAM) Have you considered using llama.cpp for a mixed CPU+GPU use (if you have enough RAM)

My apologies for the confusion for the vt100 year. I should have checked instead of assuming it was a rough contemporary of ascii. With these clarifications, I now understand your reply better, and it is indeed accurate: emojis are too limi

Yes, but can you replicate that functionality using llama.cpp? If so, what did you run with main? I haven't been able to get an answer, while for the question above, I can get 'I chose the word "laptop"' with mlc-

I do the same! My EFI partitions are always a few gigs, because I even stuff .isos into it for easy reinstall/rescue operations:) For people who are stuck with a 260 (or 100M) EFI, repurposing the 0x27 partition is easier: just shrink

Windows will shrink its own partition as needed to create a recovery partition (type 0x27 in gdisk), which is just a NTFS partition. It depends on it to boot when bitlocker encryption is on: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi => bootmgr.ef

No, that's controlled by the server: try lspci -vv on any linux system. Look at the link speed and width, like LnkSta: Speed 8GT/s, Width x2: x2 means 2 lanes. Try: `sudo lspci -vv | grep -P "[0-9a-f]{2}:[0-9a-f]{2}\.[0-9a-f]
