You might want to check out RamaLama. It's a container based replacement for Ollama by the same folks that brought us Podman. I tried it a while back, I was very surprised to find that simply running `uvx ramalama run deepseek-r1:1.5b`

I believe the v5 is a Nooelec and is comparable to the RTL v3. The RTL v4 is the latest chip. They both have different strengths and weaknesses tho. https://www.onesdr.com/rtl-sdr-vs-nesdr-which-one-should-i-b...

That's true and I agree. I was responding to the comment about using termux to disable apps.

An alternative (and possibly easier) way that doesn't require root is to use Hail + Shizuku. Shizuku helps normal apps to use system APIs without root. You can enable it with from a computer with adb or from the phone itself using wire

It's 2025. The "year of the linux desktop" has been a meme for years. No one says it in earnest. No one is having init or DE wars. And while there is plenty of healthy discussion about flatpak and other alt forms of software

At no point did I say the video IS AI slop. Or that generative AI was used to make it, or the effect youtube applied to it. We actually have no idea what youtube did. We only see the result; which can be subjective. To you, that result lo

Whatever youtube is doing adds a painted over effect that makes the video look like AI slop. They took a perfectly normal looking video, and made it look fake. As a viewer, if you can't tell or don't care... That's fine. Fo

If you watch the youtube video[1] linked in the article you get a much better examples, that clearly look like AI slop. Tho I do understand that people's ability to discern AI slop varies wildly. [1] https://www.youtube.com&

I appreciate the correction. Its been a while since I used podman + systemd. I will definitely be checking out quadlets next time.

Absolutely yes. I guarantee you these megacorps are betting on a future where the open internet has been completely obliterated. And the only way to participate online is thru their portal; where everything you do feeds back into their AI.

The end of the open web. That's what. Sites will have to either shutdown or move behind a protection racket run by one of the evil megacorps. And TBH, shutting down is the better option. With clickthru traffic dead, whats even the poin

Bookmarks... This is a rabbit hole I dive down at least once a year. And always come up disappointed. The problem with discussing bookmarks is that everyone has different needs. Some people want a system that takes snapshots, generates pdfs

Jellyfin if you want free, open source, and don't need special clients (like for LG TVs, Xbox, etc). Emby paid if you need the clients. Skip Plex entirely. Their users are their product. They've partnered with media companies and

The home PC market is insignificant. The real volume is in corporate and government systems that will never run EOL Windows. Side Note: Folks, don't run EOL operating systems at home. Upgrade to Linux or BSD, and your hardware can live

Sometimes its fun to engage in a little conspiratorial thinking. My 2 cents... That TPM 2.0 requirement on Windows 11 is about to create a whole ton of e-waste in October (Windows 10 EOL).

You are correct. Someone posted about Radicle here a couple days ago[1] and went down that rabbit hole. The user docs say that their p2p network draws inspiration for Secure Scuttlebutt's gossip protocol. I'm not 100% sold on fede

Hmm. A pay once (or not at all) model that can run on anything? Or a subscription model that locks you in, and requires hardware that only the richest megacorps can afford? I wonder which one will win out.

I'm afraid this is a case of "too little, too late". I've been a happy DDG user for many, many years. Sure, there's a learning curve when venturing out of google's cozy bubble. But once I figured it out, its be

I appreciate the input. I'm not convinced Apple is really that much better than Google or Microsoft at collecting my data. As for Linux, I love Linux and run it on my desktop, laptop, and servers. But its not great for media. There wer

It has less to do with the availability of portable audio tech and more to do with the insane amount of media people feel compelled to consume. Back then, if you rocked a Walkman, you carried 1 tape (about 60 minutes of music) that you list

My LG had an update last week that made me re-do all the user agreements. I don't know if that has anything to do with this. As always, I opted out of most of the agreements, but (as always) there are 2 agreements I cannot opt out of a
