I also have become a maki convert and I really like it. I ran into an issue with the dynamic model provider that I should probably make a patch for; list_models doesn’t use the ` models` output at all but instead tries to look up ` resolve`’s base URL + /v1/models, which breaks on a provider like Z.ai which doesn’t have /v1/ anywhere in the path…

With yarn and rope scaling arguments for llama.cpp you could run qwen3.6-27B with 1M context… if you have enough memory to store it.

Two ways. Gradually and then suddenly.

I’m still salty that their last app platform rewrite dropped Watch Together as a supported feature. Server still supports it, browser clients still support it, as well as the older Plex apps if you were prescient enough to turn off automatic app updates and manually keep refusing to update the Plex app.

This is a feature I use multiple times per week with friends who live states away. I can’t believe they just dropped it.

Reportedly the xz supply chain compromise was first noticed by someone who reported his SSH connections took an extra 500 milliseconds.

Thanks! I kind of stole the concept from the Takedown.com site that was set up to document how Kevin Mitnick was caught. Looks like the telnet servers are up again: telnet://kevin-on-demand.takedown.com:4001/ is an example of the original that made me think “it sure would be cool to be able to make custom recordings like that and play them back, but over SSH instead of telnet because who even has telnet installed anymore?”

I pushed my first crate this weekend. You can `cargo install tailpipe` on macOS and Linux (and maybe Windows, haven’t tested there yet) and get a locally-hostable SSH server that plays back asciinema recordings to clients.

`ssh -p4242 tailpipe.clee.sh` for a quick demo without installing anything. Requires any valid RSA or ED25519 key.

I didn’t realize they were selling it on another site, thanks for the link! (Framework has the RISC-V board on their shop, so I was expecting to see the MetaComputing one there too.)

And yeah… what I really want is some Oryon cores in a Framework 13 motherboard.

Any word on availability for that 12-core ARM mainboard? Also for the record I’d really love a Snapdragon X2 (or later) option someday…

They do offer blank keycaps, no labels, as an option…

I’m not @nrp but I think I can safely answer this one:

> 1/ will there be a 15 inches version ? ( I’m not getting any younger I like bigger screens )

They make a Framework 16, so a Framework 16 Pro now suddenly seems like a possibility, but I don’t think they’re going to make a 15-inch when they have the 16.

Hey Gajesh! I sent you an email with some of the teething problems I ran into trying to get started as a provider. Hope it didn't end up in your spam folder!

> Subtitle settings turn off between episodes

There is actually a way to fix this! Log in and navigate to: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/account

On this page, scroll down past the Security section to Audio & Subtitle Settings under Settings, and edit the account-wide language settings there.

One caveat; any movies or shows you’ve already watched with subtitles not enabled will still have subtitles not enabled.

So when will you port MacOS X to the Wii U? Two more CPU cores and 2GB of RAM instead of 88MB!

I’ve never seen someone go to so much effort just to prove a random Redditor wrong, but I am impressed.

Strong disagree. They didn’t even invent buildpacks until 2011, the year after the acquisition.

You can use models like qwen3.5 running on local hardware in ollama and redirect Claude to use the local ollama API endpoint instead of Anthropic’s servers.
