So I have two laptops. Both run Linux Mint.

I need Laptop 1 to work with.

Laptop 2 is an unrepairable POS that starts having a little trouble with keyboard and hinges but works nicely otherwise and has a nice large 1TB disc and a GPU. I want to bury L2 in a shelf(*) and save videos and music on it to access from L1.

I would also like to play with Stable Diffusion on L2, accessing it from L1. Can I do that?

Edit: At some point I want to have my website served from L2 as well but I guess that can be a future project.

(*) Bonus points for ideas about how to have L2 do other useful things when I don’t use it and install it as grow tent heating instead of just have it sit in a corner.

    I’ve seen that some people apparently got SD to work running on CPU only? Will see … I’d rather keep the lid closed, environment is too filthy for tech here. I will only start removing parts if nothing else works, it’s too flimsy for that kind of stuff.

      On CPU it is way too slow. Not worth it.

        Oh that’s a little disappointing because I was getting quite excited about AI art, but then also I don’t really want to run huge resources anymore just so I can play with stuff. Maybe for the best.
