Very good work. I will try and build my own from your instructions when I can afford to. Thank you so much for making this open.

No actually we are just regular women. You might like to get a coffee with me some time and I can change your mind on this matter. If you don’t like coffee, I don’t know if I can help you.

This is actually a feature utilised by transgender lesbians such as myself to maintain our competitive advantage over cisgendered engineers. Accrual of “woke points” gives higher LLM throughput and higher quality outputs even on less-capable models.

Yes. We do this in Australia, around the bars and pubs getting a root with only a cigarette lighter is a classic move.

Used Traefik a couple times in my homelab, would’ve been circa 2017/2018. Worked great when it worked, otherwise it tended toward breaking ungracefully and confusingly. Tried it again for a short time in 2022, rock solid, no complaints. I’m glad to see the project’s maturity has kept up! Congratulations on ten years!

Similar boat. I think the FM iOS client is fine. It’s not a native app, it’s a bit sluggish occasionally, the interface has improved over the past 5 years but it’s still not up to the same scratch as Gmail or Apple Mail. I use FMail2 for macOS. It works fine too. Not polished, no, but it works fine.

The FM iOS interface is just not polished enough. Compare Gmail or Apple Mail on iOS.

Everyone is in agreement, this is impressive stuff. Mind blowing, even. But have the good people at Google decided why exactly we need to build the torment nexus?

It’s funny to consider the parallels between the tapestry’s return and the campaigns for repatriation of the British Museum’s many stolen artefacts

Here in AUS, essentially every single optometrist requires digital imaging. Oh, and it’s subsidised by the government.You don’t pay a single cent for a prescription. Bonus: If you have private optical health insurance it will likely cover two pairs of prescription glasses per year. Not too bad a deal if you ask me!

Interesting. In regards to your first point, do you have justification to back your claim? I’d be interested in reading more, or perhaps seeing an example?
