Hey all,
For Brave use Adguard or Ublock origin if it hasn't been deprecated.
What I have..
1) I still don't care about cookies
2) DuckDuckGo search and track protection
3) Privacy badger
4) Canvas fingerprint defender
Hope this is of help.
Regards
Ben

Yep. Sorry I went on a rampage there. Victim of my own silliness at times.
I build PCs for a living, If you can afford the 64GB of RAM go with those.
CPU, personally and from experience I'd go with an AMD, they perform much better.
Motherboard, Gigabyte, MSI. Had more than a few Asus going kaputt or DOA.
RAM is only dictated by what the motherboard takes in terms of DDR4 or 5..
Graphics, I found that the 3060 is just too good to pass on. If your funds allow, get 2 cards.
SSDs, I have 2x2TB NVMes one for the OS, the other one for DAZ scenes and renders. A 4TB spinner (The old clanky thing) for storage.
I have installed extra 120mm fans and a Thermaltake 120mm fan for the CPU.
All of the best

5090s are way too overpriced and overuseless IMHO. Like Ethiopia above said.. Last year I bought a 12GB 4070, then discovered I had a 12GB 3060 stashed and forgotten. Placed them both in a new I7, 64GB DDR5, SSDs, etc.
Besides the night/day difference in rendering, I should've stuck it out with my 7yr old AMD CPU and Motherboard. Hardware prices have gone through the roof. March last year 64GB RAM cost AU$250. Same RAM exactly a year later AU$900.. Expensive exercise.
Live and Learn..
Bee good everyone and all of the best.

Hey all,
Sorry I'm late to the party, but Colloidal Silver is also a good remedy. Not a miracle thing, but it's a powerful anti-fungal/bacterial/viral agent. Take it orally or spray it on surfaces.

I second inversekinematics with the VPN solution. These days it has become a necessity. I've been using Nord for about 6-7yrs now. Much faster browsing as well.
Also, use obfuscated servers as those completely hide your browsing and activities.
I'm NOT advocating anything dark web related, just to be clear.
Cheers.

Was getting to that conclusion.. Thank you just the same..

Hey all, thanks for all the replies, sorry for the delay.. I'll tinker around a bit and see. I'm new to SD, so there will be a steep learning curve..
Best to all

And I thought I was the only one with the same feelings.. Can't stand G9,if you want a character to look decent, you have your work cut out. And don't get me started on the breasts.. In all my life, I have NEVER seen such preposterous breasts. I'll stick with G8/8.1..

Hi Andy and thanks for your reply.. That looks hyper-realistic, I must say. I'll download and try comfyui and see how I go. May I bother you if I get stuck?
Thanks again

It works.
Hope this helps
