The hardware is available and possible (a bit out of reach for most people), but the open models are not the same quality of proprietary services and training isn’t financially viable
Some are getting good enough, but might have a couple years before it’s easy

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.
I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

Machine config is often one giant YAML applied once to install the OS and bring up #Kubernetes
Need certs, storage, or networking first? That gets messy.
Talos uses multi-doc config to apply changes in stages. In v1.12, this is extended to networking.

My toxic trait is any time a shared URL has a tracking ID I change it
For example, youtube videos using the share button will have ?si=$ID appended to the URL
Whenever I share those links the $ID is either truncated, gibberish, or maybe I replace it with "lolfart" just to mess with the metrics
