Personal · Giftlist

I have been traditionally quite difficult to buy gifts for; I usually buy what I want for myself, and the things I don't buy are too expensive for anyone to reasonably afford.

With that being said, I am still collating this list so that I know what I want, and for anyone suitably silly with it to be aware. It is incomplete and messy; I'll update it as time passes.

The number one thing I want is time, but that, unfortunately, cannot be bought. If you have a hookup for a hyperbolic time chamber or the box from Primer, let me know!

Hardware

General

  • a record player of some quality; need to do more research on this
  • a decent gaming laptop with all-AMD so it has a higher chance of working with Linux
  • Switch 2
  • a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer, or equivalent in quality, polish, and just-work-ism

PC

  • RTX 5090 or equivalent. Preferably NVIDIA for their ML features.
  • good speakers, preferably with a subwoofer

Server

  • another 3090 or 4090. I have two 3090s in there, but more GPUs means more VRAM and more model parallelisation.
  • 3x 24+TB hard drives. I need to set up ZFS sooner rather than later.
