Went to a Fontains DC concert tonight. It was an absolute blast. The band is fantastic live.

Is it possible to install a Python package in an editable mode so that it worked on a host and inside a container? #python #docker

https://conda.io is available in Fedora. To install it, it's enough to run:

sudo dnf install conda

Last weekend I went skiing with a friend. We spent most of the day hitting moguls, it was a lot of fun.

I've just upgraded to Mastodon v3.4.6.

In addition to the security fix, I now use prebuild container images.

Did I write "container images" rather than "docker images" on purpose? Absolutely! I don't use docker, I use podman and systemd to run Mastodon.

It could have been a good option for a data center, but not for an office desk.

My next idea was to try liquid cooling. I got a GPU mounting bracket from NZXT and Corsair fan from e-bay.

The end result looks great and is quiet enough.

My noise baseline is the fridge. My laptop and the GPU enclosure are quieter than the fridge.

I had a broken Titan card and decided to use a fan from there.

I replaced the heat sink, glued the fan. The result worked, but still was loud.

To mitigate the issue, i got a fan controller. It slowed down the fan when the card was cool.

Initially I used a fan that is attached on the side of the card.

It did keep the card cool, but was very loud. The noise was too loud to do any work.

I'm using the card in an external enclosure. In theory, I could have gotten required airflow but I decided to go alternative way.

More on my cheap GPU experience.

I got a Tesla K40m. This card is meant to be used in workstations and datacenters. It doesn't have a fan. Instead, it has a massive heat sink. It's assumed that there is enough airflow to keep the thing cool.
