He’s just shitting in the punchbowl, ignore him and hell play himself out.

INtersting link to the LLM DDOSing against FOSS project sites/repos that’s been going on.

I love this line:

and robots.txt is the only thing they don’t read off the site

What a shitshow.

I’d wonder about the model or slicer. You had great printing above and below that. Unless you had a nozzle problem that cleared itself up, that’s a weird way to go bad right at that transition, and it’s very symetric on that section.

And gods forbid, they spend $10/yr on a good password manager instead of reusing “password1!”

If it means I could get a small phone back again, I’d be all over it when the prices start to get down to sane levels.

Touching yourself.

Wayland is the future, and the present. I wouldn’t shy away from it. I’ve been using it for years with multi-monitor and multi-gpu, it beats the hell out of having to dink with X11 about once a week to keep my screens in the right place.

And with X11 pretty much on life support, it’s time. And Mint isn’t the distro to do that on.

Ubuntu doesn’t push flatpaks, they push Snaps. But Ubuntu has a ton of other issues, so YMMV. It might be the one for you, who knows.

Been using Linux almost 30 years, went from Redhat to everything else, and now I’m back on Redhat to stay. Fedora KDE for a nice, boring, up to date, and bulletproof OS.

<mad scrabbling in background to review all the code committed in the last year>

I’m using vscode/Roocode with Gosucoder shortprompt, with Requesty providing models. Generally I’ll use R1 to outline a project and Claude to implement. The shortprompt seems to reduce the context quite a bit and hence the cost. I’ve heard about Cursor but haven’t tried it yet.

When you’re using local models, which ones are you using? The ones I mention don’t seem to give me much I can use, but I’m also probably asking more of them because I see what Claude can do. It might also be a problem with how Roocode uses them, though when I just jump into a chat and ask it to spit out code, I don’t get much better.

That’s doing a lot of heavy lifting

Yah, I read it afterwards and realized I’d verbed a noun. I’m not proud of it.

OK, fair enough, I changed the title.

I’d rather have ass-cancer.

Me neither, I nuke the default freedesktop folders on an install because they clutter up my home folder. But I’d imagine we’re the exception.

Many of the projects are backend dev tools, like the Atlas provider linked in the thread.

Check the returns policy, but if you could buy a large external drive at something like BestBuy, do your copy then return it, that might be a lot safer than what you’re talking about. Just a thought.
