How do I forward calls from JMP.chat number to SIM phone number? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I want to buy a flip phone to reduce distractions and am planning on getting rid of my Pixel. I currently have Cheogram installed on my Pixel and want to forward calls/texts to my SIM phone number. I'm not sure if the current flip phones support Cheogram well (due to the small screen), that's mainly why I want to setup call forwarding.

Any help is appreciated.

Exactly, we all need to be together on this. This is fucking crazy.

How did you get into coding/programming? (sh.itjust.works)

I've always had trouble getting into coding/programming because I've never truly dedicated myself to it. Mostly, this is because I kinda always lose momentum to learn it. I'm a heavy FOSS user; I love coreboot/Libreboot and am interested in getting into firmware development. I've already helped test hardware for Libreboot and enjoy learning about firmware.

I have just started to cut out gaming from my life to focus more on this. Maybe I should start with Python? At the same time, though, I feel like I should start with C, but don't want to jump the gun too quick.

Feel free to share your stories!

Is it worth upgrading my PC for running LLMs? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My current PC specs:

Dell Precision T1700 Motherboard
Xeon E3 1275 v3
32GB DDR3 1600Mhz ECC
7900 XTX 24GB VRAM (Transferring to new PC)

What I want in my next PC:

MSI Z790-P Motherboard (with Dasharo)
i9-14900k
DDR5 192GB 5600Mhz (Non-ECC)
7900 XTX 24GB VRAM

Will I see any performance increase? I'm also worried about not having ECC RAM, I will be coding a lot with my LLMs (firmware development), so part of me doesn't want to make any mistakes and future proof. I heard DDR5 has some ECC-like features, but not the same as traditional ECC. Maybe I should buy a Dell Precision 3630 motherboard which has support for upto 128GB DDR4 ECC memory? This is a dedicated LLM PC, so, not too concerned about gaming or anything.

I would like to hear your suggestions!

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying the Quactel EC25-AF USB modem for getting service. Is there any anonymous ISPs or physical sim cards I can use with it? I'm about to get rid of my cellphone in replacement for my laptop, so I would like to hear your suggestions.

Not only that, a cop will probably pull you over for driving too normal.

I appreciate the advice. My boss told me today not to ask again about upgrading the desktop and was visibly angry. I'm planning to email him saying I have a preconfigured Windows 10 replacement ready, but I haven't touched the current setup as per his instructions. If the current computer breaks, we can swap it quickly. Is this a good approach?

Should I start searching now or wait until I get my Network+? I have my A+ right now, but I'm probably not going to get my Network+ until 3 months later. I have 3 months on the job here so far, I'm 20 years old and get paid $55k/year.

Thanks for your advice. Just to clarify, this is about replacing a desktop, not a laptop. My boss got really angry and explicitly told me not to ask again, but I feel I need to get this in writing for my own protection. This job pays well for my age, and I am worried about getting fired, but I also know this is a matter of when, not if, a security issue will occur.

I'm planning on bringing up a 9020 Optiplex with Coreboot and TianoCore installed. I have already installed Coreboot on some of the other systems and made sure the chip is locked down. I have a fresh Windows 10 installed on it using our volume license USB. The 9020 is pretty standard at our location. It's $50, but I'll just do it for my job's sake. This employee has been asking for a new computer for ~~2~~ 8 months, and he really needs it.

No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.

You can encrypt your /boot partition with Argon2, which allows you to have a fully encrypted disk. You can check the integrity of your kernel at boot via Libreboot GRUB using GPG. Not as much spyware as you get with modern day computers. I know there is still proprietary ECs, microcode, etc. but we should all be trying to minimize proprietary software as much as possible.
