  • No. You cannot. The digital id I was referring to can be activated only via app, and banking apps are mandatory. You can do web banking paying an additional fee and using sms authentication, but as I said it’s an additional fee. Maybe worth paying for, ymmv.

    But the real practical of the digital id is that I will never be (again) fined for driving without a driving license with me because I always have my phone with me. I usually have also my real driving license, but sometimes I leave the wallet home or whatever.

    It’s just practical stuff, you can do without, but why should I.


  • Yes. Provided you find a phone that can unlock the bootloader and you are fine in losing banking app, government issued apps and such amenities…

    Given that Samsung and Xiaomi doesn’t let you unlock anymore… Unless you are ok giving money to Google to buy a pixel, new or used, there are really little choices currently. Nothing phones, a few motorola (hit and miss…).

    For example, we have digital ID that you can load on the phone your ID card and driving license, which is not allowed on unlocked phones. Also, McDonald app doesn’t work on unlocked phones …

    So good luck hoping people will use custom Roms, even less than before. Google is fucking us a small step a time.












  • Yes. All you say make sense. Tts can and shall go on CPU, who cares.

    It’s handling both general chat and ComfyUI the biggest point, but to be honest o don’t need them both at the same time. The point is how easy is to switch since this is an unattended server, shutting down containers might not be the easiest approach. Specially if some other family member want to use it.

    I will switch screen out on the igpu, it’s unused anyway, and see if I can run one card only, but I am struggling in running almost any model on LocalAI with llama.cpp I need to dig in more time on the issue.

    Adding the second Nvidia will require a new psu, the mobo has the slot, even if it’s only 16x downgraded to 4x according to Claude it will work just fine for normal inference. But I will keep it as a last resort, I don’t particularly enjoy fiddling with that bios.

    In any case I want both the llm and comfy to run on GPU and not offload so CPU.




  • I am trying to understand if it make sense to run two cards.

    I am using ai for chat and to support my subwave radio station (ai dj + music tagging and text to speech, small models are fine) so I am going to test a qwen3.5 9b derived model to have free ram to run text2speech model as well.

    The second usage for ai is image generation, I am using ComfyUI so it’s not clear to me how that plays with the other models… Will they be unloaded when I use comfy? Or will comfy just fail or offload to CPU?

    So, if having two cards pinned one to LocalAI and one to ComfyUI is a good choice, I can look into the hardware doubts. If nothing would practically change, no …
