Beautiful! Thank you for making this. I've been trying to find something to use for enriching my own self-hosted LLMs and agentic tools with information I find useful. Metasearch tools like SearXNG make it less likely you'll get b

Hey, thanks for the feedback! If I get some time to circle back, I'll be sure to incorporate these into some new tests and address them. I want to set up a qemu-system emulator based testing approach so I can incorporate things like Ap

I use pi with an RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell to run Gemma 4 31b to do all my agentic coding. I find it useful. This side project highlights a similar approach to how I scope and tackle projects at work now: https://git.theodohertyfami

The container is a Linux container running a virtual machine inside. WinApps needs a Windows RDP server to work. Most of the functionality doesn't care where that Windows RDP server is actually running as long as its FreeRDP client can

I worry too. American consumer credit card debt sounds like it's rising pretty quickly, and many people I talk to have a lack of free will and carry a sense of unfairness in the system they live in. However, people can also adapt prett

I think most people don't care about optimizing an extra $10 out of their weekly grocery run. Probably a better example is figuring out the cost of a loan. Just multiply the amortized monthly payment by the term and compare that to the

One of my undergrad degrees is in math. As you study it, you learn to identify your assumptions (axioms), find or build interesting abstractions, prove properties about them (theorems), and then map all sorts of other things into those abst

I would hesitate to judge based on what's "easy to type" on the keyboard in front of me. A lot of editing tools and processes automatically converting `--` to `—`, so folks editing markdown or using a Word processor might get

That makes sense. Mine runs every few minutes sometimes in heavy rain.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like 100Ah LiFePo4 batteries are pretty easy to find too.

Do you have any examples? I haven't seen what you're describing despite shopping UPSes, but something less than $100 that could last 10+ hours would be amazing. My $200 1500VA/1000W CyperPower UPS could handle a short one or

I might get this for my basement sump pump in case the power goes out during a storm.

The problem is platforms moved away from S3 sleep. I've heard people claim it was mostly so managed Windows laptops could force updates with the lid shut and the laptop suspended. Now I have to worry about my laptop randomly overheatin

The Adafruit FT232H works out of the box with pyftdi and libftdi. You don't have to use any special tools or flash it in any way. The USB commands are handled by the underlying libraries. See page 9 of the datasheet here: https:/

Also, while libftdi isn't hard to work with: http://developer.intra2net.com/git/?p=libftdi;a=blob;f=examp... It's dead simple to also use these FTDI devices with Python: https://eblot.github.io&#x2

Arduino is a nice, but it's still built on the shoulders of tools like GCC, isn't it? I never owned a computer in the 90s, but my impression was that Cygnus[1] did a lot of work porting GCC and improving it for use in a variety of

We had 3 under 3. When our son was 5 and the twins were 3, we were able to switch to forward facing car seats in the back of my Dodge Challenger, which is technically just a coupe. They're all Diono Radian car seats, and the kids fit c

Cross checking work doesn't scale. That'll only become more of a problem as your business grows and you have more important concerns that pull you farther and farther away from the actual hands-on work being done.

You simply have to do it every day with self-awareness of what you're doing and why it's important until you get comfortable with it. Day one of my first studio class, we did sketches of the person next to us and the instructor he

Most normal education tends to skew towards the didactic all the way through your undergraduate studies, especially with the math and hard sciences (which includes most CS students). That is to say, an instructor disseminates organized know

In art school, we spent a lot of time learning how to give and receive critiques, because the fastest way to improve was to try frequently and critique often. You learn very early to divorce your ego and sense of self from your artworks and

Also, the prompt is uniform and immediate anywhere you need authenticated. With a single client certificate that meets the server's criteria, most browsers can be configured to automatically apply your certificate so you never even see

It's more like keeping your ID card with you. The hospital would still have your records but wouldn't give you access to them until you present your ID card. If you lose your ID card, you have to go back to the issuer of ID cards

Mutual TLS is pretty cool. You can install client certificates into your browser issued from a CA that a server accepts, and the server can then use the details in your client certificate to authenticate you to an application specific user.

I think NixOS is what the future should be. Searching and resolving packages still seems slow, and things like flakes are still evolving to address rough edges, but having completely declarative definitions of the entire OS installation is
