  • stable-diffusion-webui

    Stable Diffusion web UI

  • https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui is the interface most people use. youtube has a bunch of people that did tutorials on how to install it if the git instructions aren't clear enough. Nerdyrodent is the youtuber that I usually follow when doing something new. Because everything is advancing so rapidly old tutorials can be out of date so newer tends to be better.

  • MSIRGB

    Discontinued Alternative to MSI Mystic Light for controlling motherboard LEDs, without the fixed 7 colour limitation.

  • There's an open-source alternative to the MSI RGB toolkit: https://github.com/ixjf/MSIRGB

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • msi-rgb

    Linux utility for controlling RGB header on select MSI motherboards

  • I don't know if it's less resource-intensive, but I'm pretty sure it is. It's bascially the windows version of this: https://github.com/nagisa/msi-rgb

  • koboldcpp

    A simple one-file way to run various GGML and GGUF models with KoboldAI's UI

  • No problem. If you’re using Windows, have a look at Koboldcpp. It’s the easiest way to get started quickly. It lets you off load some of the model onto the gpu while your cpu loads the rest if you don’t have a gpu with a lot of vram. https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp
