    Check YABS on HDD, they are literally spinning rust:

    But based on those speed tests, those disks might not be ideal for active use.

    Well, mine seem slightly better, although looking at the HUS726T4TALA6L1 specs, they should be able to do much better?

    >>> hi
    <think>
    
    </think>
    
    Hello! How can I assist you today?
    
    >>> I got a 128GB memory server to run you as an LLM right now on because I am bored, any ideas what I could do with this server?
    <think>
    Okay, so the user just mentioned they have a 128GB memory server and are running me as an LLM. They said they're bored and looking for ideas on what to do with the server. Hmm, let's break 
    this down.
    
    First, I need to figure out their background. They set up a server specifically to run an LLM, which suggests some technical skills. Maybe they're a developer or someone interested in AI. 
    Since they're bored, perhaps they're looking for engaging projects beyond just running the model.
    
    I should think about different use cases where a powerful server can be utilized. Hosting services comes to mind—like a personal cloud or media server. That could be useful and practical. 
    Maybe they want something they can use daily.
    
    Another angle is AI experimentation. They might enjoy fine-tuning models, which is both educational and innovative. Exploring creative applications like generating art or music could tap into 
    their boredom by making the process fun and interactive.
    
    Data analysis is another area. If they have datasets, analyzing them on such a server could be efficient. It's also a valuable skill to enhance their resume if that's something they're 
    interested in.
    
    Gaming and simulation might appeal to them if they're into that. Using the server for high-end gaming or simulations could provide entertainment and a challenge.
    
    Hosting AI tools like APIs or bots can be both educational and useful, maybe even monetizable. They might find setting up their own services rewarding.
    
    Educational projects are great too. Building chatbots or contributing to open-source could help them learn more about AI and software development.
    
    Personal productivity tools could make their daily tasks easier. Automating workflows sounds like a practical project that also keeps them engaged.
    
    Research and contribution to AI is another avenue, especially if they're academically inclined. It's a way to give back to the community while learning.
    
    Setting up a home lab for networking or security could be both challenging and educational. Maybe they have an interest in cybersecurity or systems administration.
    
    Lastly, just having fun with creative projects like simulations or games on the server might alleviate their boredom.
    
    I should list these ideas in a clear way, making sure each is actionable and tailored to someone with their technical background. Keeping it friendly and encouraging will help them feel 
    supported in exploring these options.
    </think>

    Actually you can, just generated another invoice, kinda wired though when you get "Plan code not found 25skmystery01" maybe they made it available again until it sells out in BHS.
