As the owner of a (non-piracy-related) .to domain for decades, I concur.

I believe that advertising is one of the roots of many of our current societal problems, including violent political extremism/fascism/etc. Advertising should be banned, full stop. No amount of ads are acceptable.

You didn’t define “free speech.”

This is false: Mistral small 24b at q4_K_M quantization is 15GB. q8 is 26GB. A 3090/4090/5090 with 24GB or two cards with 16GB (I recommend the 4060 Ti 16GB) will work fine with this model, and will work in a single computer. Like others have said, 10Gbe will be a huge bottleneck, plus it’s just simply not necessary to distribute a 24b model across multiple machines.
