If your files and folders are rw even in a encrypted form, you're still vulnerable to ramsomware if you don't have some sort of immutable ro backups.

But now you have a even larger problem that the initial problem you were trying to solve: trying to sieve thru millions-of-hours of just slightly tangential videos trying to find the specific video fragment you need.

How did you manage to get the Java LSP to do that? Mine just insist on re-parsing the entire codebase every time I view a file.

I will give you a class of programs humans wrote and they want improved: LLMs. Those were written by humans, and don't involve unsolved mathematics. Is your claim tht you just need to solve comprehensibility of LLMs? Figuring out epist

Jetbrains IDE, sure, they take their sweet time indexing your project, but once per start. The Java LSP is a egregious "thing" that takes 10 to 30s to read your whole project for the n-th time while eating 40GiB of RAM in the proc

You need the rest of the ram for the context. If you don't want to end up with a toy context or quantized lossy context, is pretty easy to end up having to spend up 50+GB just for the KV cache, per simutaneous inference slot.

No, they don't support it. Instead, you need to run it inside a compatibility mode, that probably sandbox or VMs the facade. But your software keeps running. The current problem is that your software no longer runs. That's a 100%

I wish it was just "phishing", but it's way worse. It's way more akin to a whole minefield of Zero-Click exploits. The whole premise of those agents is being able to do things autonomously, without hand holding, without

In bazzite/Fedora Silverblue, it's the expected way non-GUI packages are installed to the host system. The other way is toolbox/distrobox (rootless containers tightly integrated with the host).

On my gfx1030 "consumer grade hardware", ROCm means using SDMA, and that is broken for my system. Forcing `HSA_ENABLE_SDMA=0` makes it "work", but also makes loading tensors to VRAM take 15x longer.

Not without having a degraded git experience like shallow clones, or using hacks like LFS or Xet, and then you're back at the initial problem of depending on "something else besides your repo".
