Setup
Home Machine
This is the majority of my work is done from work-related stuff to hobbies/open-source projects. I don’t train large ML/DL models on my home machine as I have experienced the misfourtine of nvidia-driver crashing, RAMs fully not working, and/or Linux Kernel not wanting to working at all (yes, I have tried to access recovery-mode but sometimes you can’t). Therefore, I don’t try to abuse my home machine. However, I do abuse my work machine where I SSH to it to do most of my work.
