Can you give more info on how you use/prompt those LLMs for code review and what kind of prompts you use?

I've had worse experiences doing it because the quality of answer has been quite bad, and I'm wondering if my methods are the reason.

The internet is volatile and it has happened multiple times that a page I have saved to read later has disappeared.

Do you have any good recommendations for self hosted services that allow me to save a link and have an archived copy of the website saved to disk?

So far, I've tried Wallabag, Linkwarden and Archivebox but I feel like they don't quite work the way I want to.

What are you experiences with this?

Could you give me a concrete example of what that looks like?

Can you give me a couple of examples? I'd like to see where I stand with my knowledge.

But why stop at 10 years? If the theoretical bandwidth limit of SM Fiber is above 100 Gbit/s then there is simply no way that a household will need more internal bandwidth than that. Even for the next 20-30 years, because other technologies (like SATA) will be the limiting factor.

I believe this could be a case of future proofing that will actually last 30-40 years, no?

Can you use single mode fiber in a house, or do the transceiver only work over much longer distances? Is transceiver burn out an issue?

This sounds similar to a build I'm planning. I cannot find the workstation mainboards at a reasonable price though. They start at like 400€ in Europe.

Are all LTH discs marked on the package or how do I find out if my Bluray discs are LTH?

Do you mean in comparison to regular BDXL Blurays?

That's exactly what I've been looking into lately.

Did you have any specific discs in mind?

I recently bought "Sony Blu-ray BD-R XL 128GB", but I couldn't find any info whether its organic or inorganic.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction on how to set something like this up?

Right now, I'm using pure CPU Llama but only the 17B version, based on I believe llama.cpp. How do I mix both CPU and GPU together for more performance?

This is really fascinating to me because MW2 was, and still is, one of my favorite games.

Can you tell me more about these RCEs, how they work, or some technical analysis on this game?

I'd love to check out your portfolio, if it is still online or you have it archived somewhere?

I'm also recently starting to get into pixel art. Maybe you have some cool pixel art galleries or even tutorials you could share with me?

What's your favorite pixel art?

Does this apply to full disk encryption with Windows and VeraCrypt?

If so, do I need to disable TRIM? If yes, in Windows or the BIOS?

Any suggestions for books / courses for a developer who wants to go into embedded development both professionally and as a hobby?

How do you handle backups with your instance? I have a simple bash script that sync the entire data directory to Backblaze and I'd love to hear easier or better ways to do this.

The one thing that gives me hypertension when self hosting a code repository is backups.

The hard drive of your server can fail at any time and when self hosting you are responsible for your backups.

This is giving me night terrors, especially when its on a cloud server and I don't have access to the hardware.

Currently, I'm running a cron task once per day executing a simple backup script that does the following:

Stop the Gitea container, copy the entire Gitea directory (including the docker-compose.yml and the data directory) to a backup folder, restart the container, sync that folder to a Backblaze bucket, delete the backup folder.

Restoring the backup is (should) be as easy as downloading the bucket from Backblaze and simply docker-composing it up.

I'm looking for other ideas advice that will help me sleep at night. Thanks!
