An off-topic question, are Apple's M-series chips any good at current AI/ML work? How does it compare with dedicated GPUs?

I liked the idea of mini PCs, but for my usecases, they weren't powerful enough. In the end, I went with what I'd call "medium PC" - Intel NUC 13 extreme. Desktop-level components in a small form factor. At the time, I c

Wow, this looks awesome for a low-usage home server (since it makes no noise). Does it handle load well though?

Love it. My VSCode takes 3GB of RAM and that's a single window with like 5 files open at one time. I've long been looking for a good-enough replacement (though I don't think I'll be able to leave debugpy for a while)

What projects are you working on that take 5GB of venv size? My venvs are under 1GB. What I would consider a large automation framework is ~150MB.

Going to sleep is the easy part. The quality of your sleep is the thing :) The biggest problem is that you don't know how good/bad your sleep is, unless you make some changes to your lifestyle (e.g. starting or stopping with coffe

Well, per [1], it increases dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and other chemicals in the brain. It is highly unlikely that it has no effect on one's decision making (esp. when you take it when you are _not_ very tired). It's mo

Meth specifically is believed to be one of the contributing factor in the early success of the German army. Interestingly, I believe the same was used by the Japanese to encourage suicidal attacks, since, it turns out, it's easier to c

Caffeine is a very interesting drug that makes capitalism and just daily work bearable. It's interesting that this went all the way to 1800s for the US. After reading Your Mind on Plants [1], I decided to do an experiment, and stop any

I would think that the container world is dominated by OpenShift, tailed by using plain K8s.

I understand what you're saying, and I understand the maintainer's POV. But, nothing prevents you from installing firewalld, right? It should just work.

It's the best bleeding edge distro. More stable than Arch, and rolling (unlike Fedora for which you have to a system upgrade every 6 months).

The same applies on Steam Deck. This is a thing with immutable systems.

SUSE did $0.67B in 2022. It's a live and vibrant company that focuses on traditional Linux and its management. Though it has cloud & container offerings of course, I think SUSE's greatest strength is for people that want to us

You expose VPN to the internet, and expose SSH access just to the private VPN. You can still use SSH keys for your SSH auth, but now with the added layer of listening only on the VPN network. Isn't that strictly better? I.e. even if an

Melatonin won't improve the quality of your sleep. It might induce sleep if your body doesn't naturally produce melatonin, e.g. due to going to bed at very different times throughout prolonged periods. But, outside of that, melato

You could use stash for just that use case (even multiple times to make multiple "patches"). For a more robuts method, you could also just commit (without pushing of course). Then, you can do "git reset --hard HEAD~1", a
