Does anyone care to speculate about those 4 addresses blocked by external whitelist when using Nvidia's nvcc for the first time and trying to compile llama.cpp? (lemmy.world)

I just went to use nvcc for the first time and this nonsense hit my firewall. Make won't compile but it has to do with my unwillingness to use the proprietary toolkit. This network activity only happened once on startup.

If you're going to be looking at network requests on this granular of a level you should use something like OpenSnitch so you can be sure what is actually generating them.
