We’re whalers on the moon
We carry a harpoon
But there ain’t no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune

We had one compulsory course in English at university. The professor corrected a “man-in-the-middle” I had in a field-specific paper. She preferred “middle man”. She did buy that it was an established term in cryptography, though.


Yes, but where’s the irony in that?


Yes, but who wants to be staring at their phone all the time.
Maybe they could make a smart glass-app to warn about smart glasses.


$29 is enough for one of them pro plans. That’s plenty if you’re not wasteful.
But do companies like Accenture get that subsidized plan at scale? At API rates that can easily be thousands of dollars.


Posts from 16 minutes and 2 days ago here. Maybe your instance is not federating with theirs.


Yes, were all on c/LocalLLaMa
I’m running qwen3.8-next-flash on a rx7900xtx plus 128gb of ram. It serves my hermes agent. I direct it through matrix. I also forward an endpoint to my VPS to use for anything. Mostly opencode.


My VPS gets a weekly rsync to my home server. I keep ten deduplicated copies for weeks gone by. The current week also gets synced off-site with encryption.


I have a VPS running nginx and wireguard. I just forward whatever subdomains to my home server over wireguard.


I’ve seen T-shirts in the tourist quarters of Prague that read “Home sex is killing prostitution”.


My Swedish brain could not make sense of that. But it finally clicked: BESTÅ.
For my old Prusa i3 MK2 I had two LACK-tables on top of eachother, with acrylic from their cheapest picture frames for sides.


I think he’s trying to say that he’s only half-Russian.
I use pushover mostly. It’ll let me know when disks are full, certs need renewing.
Home assistant for home stuff. Sauna is heating, sauna reached temperature, boiler took a break because electricity is expensive, washing machine is done.


I mostly check if my SIL is watching anything before rebooting & updating. Otherwise my wife will stick her head in two minutes later to ask if jellyfin is down.


Best in the United States? That’s like being the biggest fish in the bowl.


You don’t have to pair it with you phone… but if I don’t, what’s doing somebody else from doing it and e-locking it when I leave it on the street.


I have a compressor travel fridge. I’ve had it for about six years. The display died this summer, so I had a hard time knowing what temperature it was set to, or if it was even on. (Crotch goblins love to press buttons that go beep).
Anywho, I got a new display circuit for it with Bluetooth. The only reason I paired my phone to it is so others can’t fiddle with the settings at the local campground.
Same thing with my e-bike. I don’t want someone else pairing their phone with it and locking me out.


I have a bit more memory, so I jump between the two qwen 3.8s.
Glimmer muse was a good contender in the MoE space for a few days. Might be more viable on 8gb.


I try most models, that get support in llama.cpp or forks. IIRC I wasn’t overly impressed with this one. Slower than it should be, mostly because its KV cache is huge.
Is he talking about Tim Apple?
