Boiling point?

I assume you mean something other than OMV, ran in a container? Reason I put it in a VM was that I wanted to use a Linux compatible file system. I’m using BTRFS with raid, I’m sure I could have ran APFS in raid instead!

For haas, it was partly QoS, partly because I had historically ran all of my things separately. I might look at bringing that to the container level.

I’m using OpenWRT as my main router! One port to my LAN switch, one to the modem.

I have an M4 Mac Mini running the following in a VM:

- OpenWRT (previously OPNSense & once Mikrotik RouterOS) using 2x 2.5Gbps Ethernet NICs via USB-C

- OpenMediaVault (Exposing a 4-bay DAS via USB-C, 2x3TB Drives in Btrfs RAID-1)

- HassOS (Home Assistant OS)

On the host, I'm running OLlama and a reverse proxy through Docker.

The whole thing uses 7 watts of power at any given time - I've seen max peaks of 12w when running LLM queries. The drive bay actually uses more than it.

Through power saving alone, it will pay for itself in 5 years over my previous AMD Zen 2 build.

This sort of thing probably doesn't work particularly well with file auto-saving, which is almost necessary for some language servers to reprocess files to reflect "real-time" in VSCode. Aren't you also just committing half-baked work and totally menial changes?

I would change the hints based on which word/line is selected, otherwise very neat.

In the future, consider hosting with the following:

* Flokinet (long standing host standing for freespeech, very seriously presented)

* Njalla (created by PirateBay founder, will actually troll any copyright trolls, but seems reliable)

* Cockbox (a silly but also likely reliable option)

Also it seems that you'd have been fine using Cloudflare without giving them any identifying details - when I signed up way long ago, they didn't ask for anything...

Some notes:

* Flokinet offers DDOS protection.

* Njalla offers Domain Registry.

* cockbox is colocated through Flokinet.

* Probably don't use cockbox...

Whilst this is theoretically a nice idea for security/privacy, wouldn’t there be throughput/latency concerns over mobile networks if you aren’t just connecting to one server and getting all your notifications in one go? One of the biggest slow downs on mobile data is the initial handshake, so repeating that for each of your apps doesn’t seem worth the trade off to me.

Drivers have the right to crash the system in my books - software doesn't. They need to take a stronger stance on antiviruses and kernel based software in general and push defender as the defacto antivirus for Windows.

wondering this as well - the article suggests that it would be able to run for longer thanks to the vision/sensory systems being driven by a very low wattage system, requiring a much smaller battery... but I'm not convinced that a slightly larger system, perhaps with wheels or the ability to jump, would be outpaced by this particular "biohybrid"

Their whole business is based on retention, so I don’t think that’s true.

Unfortunately doesn't work on the Arc browser and presumably Orion, or any other browsers which put pop-up windows into a new tab instead.

I think the distinction between "processed food" and "ready food" is important here. Not all processed foods are bad - I am not paid to say this, but after doing a lot of preliminary research into Huel some 3 years ago, I've lived off it for weeks at a time when time-constrained or lazy. I usually feel better overall for it (fuller, prolonged energy), which for me, meant less snacking.

On account of the higher carbs, I can't speak so much to their "instant meals", but the powders are a pretty even split of carbs/fats/protein, with the black powder being primarily protein for a slightly higher cost.

By the sounds, it's actually a $4B investment (taking minority stake) whilst also potentially providing free access to some AWS services? The degree or agreement of access to AWS services isn't totally clear though...

I think the opposite may be true. If you control the training and hosting, surely that means you have to be more involved in many industries to make the product useful? Whereas with offloading training/tuning to the user, you kinda just become PaaS, in that you provide a platform which enables others.
