This is what I did after struggling to get llama.cpp working at a decent speed on my M1 Macbook. The secret is to very specific with your needs and targeted in what you are using llama.cpp for. Mine setup is just about strictly for qwen3-coder and now, I get a fairly decent speed out of it. I also installed Cursor to check Claude and it all worked out well.

The Toy Museum of Munich is pretty cool and it is near a major tourist site in Munich, Germany. My wife and I went in to kill an hour while we waited for others and it was really nice. Covers 4 centuries of toys and toy evolution.

The plumbing systems in commercial buildings are not big enough to handle residents usage. Residents use more water and the outbound sewage systems need to be larger.

The Roth IRA is not suppose to be a tax shelter for people to get super rich off their own creations. You are not getting a reduced priced Bitcoins or Gamestop stock. You are gambling with your own funds based on information that everyone else has and paying the same price as anyone else. If you get Bitcoins and/or Gamestock at a reduced price, then you are abusing the Roth IRA and the IRS should stop and fine you.

> I've never had a gap year, it was all school, then immigration, work, university, more work. Any holiday time you fly back home. I kept hearing its not unusual for people in the west to take gap years, so thats what Im doing.

As a Westerner, I have never taken a gap year but I never met anyone who took one and wish they didn't. If you can make it work, take it, especially after the Pandemic because it's going to be an awesome time to travel.

Take a train in America and then you will think the trains in Germany are absolutely beautiful.

Take a train in Japan and you will weep because no matter what country you are from, your trains suck in comparison.

YouTubers are getting flagged by big media companies because YouTubers are using their music or other media without getting a media license. This is not a mystery unknown rule. YouTubers know to not use music they don't have the rights to.

Your point is moot, buying and selling Bitcoin is not like buying and selling currency. The IRS classifies it like buying and selling gold, which you pay taxes on when you make a profit.

I was thinking you would need to ship them custom servers and have a specific network setup on the system. Standard out of the box rental servers are not going to work.

I honestly don't know how that would work with getting servers to an ISP for them to rack and follow the networking instructions.

That would also be very helpful but hiding the ownership of a server behind a wall of LLC's and Trusts from various locations around the world is also a good idea.

> Why would any admin do this? It would absolutely ruin their chances of getting a more lenient sentence by cooperating with the authorities. The police have these people in physical custody. Why would they take a fall for their (also criminal) customers? There is nothing to gain but much to loose.

Actually, having the DB and all important files encrypted would be a better negotiating position for the admin. If the police catch the Admin and also get the DB and important files unencrypted, what is the admins negotiating position? They have the Admin and the important files.

In a perfect world, for the police, they want both, but a second best choice would be having the DB and important files with some jail time for the Admin. If I was the Admin I would give the police a choice, you can get me or can get me with reduced jail time and the DB and important file. You can get the conviction for the Admin and the buyers of the drugs too or Life for the Admin and let thousands of buyers and seller go free. Encrypted files would put the Admin in a great position.

I have thinking about this and I don't think it really has to do with location of your servers, it is the coding and architecture of the server environment along with server operators OPSEC.

All of the Dark Net drug website busts I have seen over the last few years are because of poor coding, poor architecture, poor security and even worse OPSEC. The people who run these sites are not professionals.

Because you only care about the farmhouse and not the land.
