im not a linux evangelist but people post on here weekly like "i miss when computers were more like the early 2000s and had basic software and i didn't have to pay attention to all the flashiness and complexity and updates" girl what you desire is running stable debian on a spare thinkpad

honestly there is something extremely cyberpunk about the idea of being able to message an LLM agent running off solar power over an encrypted local radio mesh network

even when the rest of the power grid is down, together with the cell towers and the fiber backbones
ok so my LLM box is now ready to be run from 100% solar power

NixOS is everything i’ve ever wanted in a Linux distro, the only thing i don’t like about it so far is that it doesn’t have the plethora of documentation that arch has. It just needs a bigger community.

Billions must use Nix

all my homies love obsidian
Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.

Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

Spending $8M on a super bowl ad and having your server 503 does not bode well for your service

The Bluesky map put me in the "Indonesian K-Pop Fans" cluster and I don't think I'll ever recover from that

That OpenAI commercial was so good I thought it was Anthropic the whole time

I DON’T care about the super bowl. But I DO care about Green Day

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

waymos are great, this headline is wrong, it's weird and disturbing that so many people actively want to believe the technology that reduces car deaths is fake, and bluesky should make it so full-screen link previews don't show headlines

it legit rules that the best bluesky feed is run on some guy's computer and he also plays games on that same computer
Fun fact, playing Overwatch increases For You response time from 90ms to 115ms.

it is not worried about the AI turning into Skynet. it is worried about a handful of billionaires using 'Skynet' as a ghost story to trick the government into giving them a permanent monopoly over the most important tools of the next century.
