I really feel compelled to share that I actually really fucking love nix. I’ve never felt so confident that my computer would turn on no problem. It was hard and it was rewarding.

Idk I guess I haven’t had it for long but once I got my dotfiles the way I like I just stopped messing with it.

Also nix devshells are pretty dope (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

There is this brittle thing of foam everyone likes to make into weird shapes like little birds… I don’t know what it is called and I don’t want too

It might not be an animal, it might be an African Strangler

I just feel my stomach turn into a knot and I double over, that’s how I know that I’m hungry

Team Fortress 2:

I’d say its gameplay is more “robust” than special. Like you can have any and every kind of fight in TF2 but none of it is more special than an FPS that specializes in any game mode.

Tangent:

But does anyone remember that experimental subreddit that was only for bots to post and comment? Wonder what happened to it.

Correct because the political parties are not about values and morals they’re just teams that can trade players. Thank you for taking your mask off and admitting that your whole organization is just another soulless for profit corpo with a marketing department. Now if you can just admit that Republican Inc. and Democrat Co. are actually the private equity firms buying up all the single family houses that would be great since it looks like it doesn’t cost you to tell the truth ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ ) thxxxxxxxxxxxssssssssss

You’re allowed to hand wire breadboards with transistors and switches and capacitors and LEDs… You’re allowed to get shit done

Love to see the flake.nix at the root of the project

I’m working on self-hosting my own LLMs.

I realized there are things I wanna talk about and research but I don’t want to send it to open AI. Frankly I feel gross about how much I’ve sent to open AI. My desktop is a beefy gaming rig that I don’t use for gaming much. I have a 20thread core, 64gb ram, an Nvidia gtx 3060 and 5 spare TB so why not.

• I keep a few ollama models downloaded and I’m slowly getting to know them and what they can do. Gemma seems to answer the fastest so I’ve been using that. Deepseek is like the reasoning button on chatgpt.
• I use openai-whisper to transcribe meetings I record using OBS. It’s really slow so I have a cronjob transcribe all my meetings for that day overnight.
• Open Web UI is a fantastic LLM frontend. It provides tools, rags, web searching, and model ranking all as a simple to use UI.
• My desktop has a Wireguard server which makes it easy to use my OpenWebUI on my phone.

Now I want to work on giving the LLM access to my Google calendar so it can create reminders for me. I’m sick of forgetting to think about remembering to do things so I hope if I can just ramble at the LLM about what I’m doing or what’s on my mind it can organize my thoughts. What else are these LLM actually for?

½TB nvme SSD for the OS and any system/user level binary

1TB sata SSD for code projects, docker, and videogames

10tb HDD for just having a massive amount of fairly stable storage space. I gotta tell you I sleep really well knowing that at 4 in the morning a compressed disk image of my work SSD is being written to the hard drive.

For your education:

Pacman like many other package managers tries to minimize network queries, to do this you download a manifest of every package available and its installation instructions. -Sy downloads the latest manifest from all of your pacman repos, -u installs the packages whose “version” field changed between the old and new manifests.

These error messages show that the domain name the manifest had for your package was unavailable, this is why you should check for updates.

Resting your eyes means going back to sleep

Makes it easier to distribute and set up

DS9 Pale Moonlight: is my second favorite startrek episode. This is like the deepest exploration into a starfleet captain and how easy it is to lose yourself to corruption and operate outside of your government even when you’re working towards the same goal.

VOY The Thaw: an unironic cathartic watch. I’m ready invested in the characters and I get to see A1 star trek grade acting actually brings me back to that episode.

If I have to put a thread object in a variable and call a method on it to start it then it’s OO multi threading. I don’t want to know when the thread spawns, I don’t want to know what code it’s running, and I don’t want to know when it’s done. I just want shit to happen at the same time (90% of the time)

I’ve always hated object oriented multi threading. Goroutines (green threads) are just the best way 90% of the time. If I need to control where threads go I’ll write it in rust.

Yes but mitochondria live in the cytoplasm. I guess I don’t have much of a grasp of size differences that small so it blew me away to think to find a life form inside of the organelle of another lifeform… I thought things were too small at that scale.

Whole bacteria are found within an organlle

That is even more mind blowing to me
