my friends live in the computer

thanks nirav :) looking forward to my sage 12 for linux-based couch surfing

Obviously, you're free to submit an article that discusses this better or from a primary source, i'd love to read it!

it's unclear to me what you gain running ollama in wsl like this compared to switching to a productive native operating system [like nixos] or just installing the windows release of ollama and quietly forgetting about it.

i use nixos.wsl at work to have the same emacs configuration as on my laptop, and that's fine except the windows filesystem performance makes me want to throw the whole system in a dumpster. but on my home gaming machine i have some games that only run on windows so i just installed ollama's windows installer which works with my GPU and installs an autostart entry.

these days the windows box sits in a dark corner on my network with tailscale (again just the windows install), running sunshine too to start steam games on my laptop.

it's too bad they didn't release it so a few hundred or thousand people benefit from it and save a few minutes each!

if you hold-press on any system notification in a reasonably modern non-nerfed android, it'll give you a gear that'll let you turn on/off individual notification categories. You can access this from the very top of the "App info" system page you get by hold-pressing the icon. For Play you want to disable "Payments, Deals, and Recommendations" category.

Most apps on my phone are on a "one strike" policy, and some don't use notification categories (like the Amazon shopping app) and thus don't get to make any noise and I rely on my mail receiver to email me when they accept a package instead of the Amazon push notifications

cant forget about mtgox either

at the end of the day you still have to sell this product to the sorts of companies that are far and away all microsoft 365/google workspace clients and we're gonna have to figure that out one day or another

> Every day by automation I feed in the hourly weather forecast my home ollama server and it builds me a nice readable concise weather report.

not to dissuade you from a thing you find useful but are you aware that the national weather service produces an Area Forecast Discussion product in each local NWS office daily or more often that accomplishes this with human meteorologists and clickable jargon glossary?

just yesterday the owner of twitter was getting his employees to delete the accounts of posts he disagreed with

after all the nixpkgs/nix leadership failures and having dozens of hours of packaging improvement work ignored by individual package maintainers and entire SIGs, I've been evaluating bootc and other declarative options and i'm quite disappointed that they've been completely uninterested in providing any declarative solution for per-host "state" with bootc systems -- having to set up a boot Dockerfile (sorry daddy shadowman i meant Containerfile!!!) and then also use Ansible and/or cloud-init on top of that to set up a new host is just a complete non-starter when NixOS can handle both in one language framework and development environment even if that framework is heterodox jank that everyone outside of nixpkgs resents.

i think its because the accused dude is just as online as the average social media user who has latched on to this.

yeah this is person is talking about a very particular Twitter "for you" social algorithmic tarpit

> When that of course turns out to be false, people dismiss their position entirely rather than look at actual issues.

this flies in the face of a lifetime of experience talking about immigration with family who lives in a southern border state...

perhaps we should not treat systemic social failure as individuals' responsibility to resolve on their own without support of the State

Its too bad we didnt learn anything about occupational safety in the last 150 years!

> I actually love that I can easily wipe everything when it's dirty. I'd hate cleaning knobs and most of the tactile buttons.

the knobs on my manually operated range pull right off their posts and go soak in the sink with some soap and hot water once a week while i spray the range's control surface with whatever spray cleaner and wipe it off with every other flat surface in my kitchen.

after ten or fifteen minutes of soaking, anything left on the knobs fall off with a dry rag that goes in the cloth washer afterwards.

I live in Oregon but they opted me out by default, perhaps because I have an old CA address in my list of old delivery addresses?

I try to just buy one or two really nice porkchops or chicken legs quarters from the farmer's market now and then and cook veg most other nights at home. It's nice to eat meat rarely enough that it's a splurge and a treat when we do, and the animals do live significantly better.

Most of their functional unix machines ended up with https://icm.museum/ but there's some cool stuff in these auctions that will hopefully be put on display or managed by a group who can keep them running rather than warehoused.

I heard they got canceled this year

Wow, you're the first person I've seen speak up about having similar experiences with them as me, thank you. I was a merveilles member some years back until I had some really rude/abusive interactions in IRC from Devine and a prominent moderator. I really would love to play with uxn and varvara but gosh I simply refuse to be around people like that.

NixOS also has out of the box support for zfs auto snapshots, where you can tell it to keep 3 months, four weeks, 24 hourly, and frequent snapshots evert fifteen minutes so you can time shift your home directory, too

and if that cost of moving away is high enough, a team or org "locked in" to a FOSS solution can continue to pay humans to support it internally while evaluating off-ramps instead of being told they need to re-arch their cloud stack in three months' time.

So what are the odds we ever see a viable x86_64 exploit?

I believe that half of meditation is letting your self dredge up all the nasty stuff and watching it happen, the other half is cultivating an outlook that's okay with or even happy with those things coming up. It's literally practice, for remaining stable when bad things happen "off the mat", and to be able to narrow in and concentrate on the grain of calm/bliss/joy in every moment. These elevated jhana states can be a healthy part of that, but they take work to get to.

if you're going to actually try to do it and not just try to McMindfulness your way out, it's dangerous to go in to this unprepared, IMO. early in my meditation experience I went a bit too deep on this just by practicing insight a few hours a day on one of the apps and was anxious and emotionally unbalanced for months.

Finding a meditation teacher or practice community may help, too, it continues to help for me, but it's one of those things you gotta be ready to keep going back to

Yep, if people want to do that there are hundreds of miles of forest service roads they can use to drive in to our national forests.

And yet here we are where a fantastically successful mid budget game published on to gamepass by a first party studio leading to huge excitement in gamepass is not enough to justify the continued existence of the studio which produced it.

Realistically, look how few people it took to change it. If we want to change something big, it will take a lot more than a hundred thousand gamers.

That NLNOG talk is a great talk, thanks for resurfacing it!
