I've never seen an LLM use "etc" but the rest gives a strong "it's not just X, it's Y" vibe. I really hope the fine-tuning of our slop detectors can help with misinformation and bullshit detection.

Okay, fair enough re force pushing (though `gh repo delete` is still an option). I suppose for a sufficiently active codebase copies of it will exist elsewhere. Just seems odd to me that people aren't backing up anything else on their

I see this regularly: "I use GitHub to backup my local repos." If `gh repo ...` commands get run you can lose everything instantly. You can force push and be left with a single blank commit on both sides. The agent has full contro

As someone about to learn the basics of Terraform, with an interest in geo-distributed storage, and with some Hetzner credit sitting idle... I came across the perfect comment this morning. I might extend this with ZeroFS too.

Seems like both "show your working" and "make it easier for us to review" are the reasons. Seems reasonable to me. "Commit 1: refactor the $THING to enable $CAPABILITY" "Commit 2: redirect $THING2 to commu

"make a thing that works like github but doesn't need github or email" I wrote that as a joke but now that I'm reading it... even a terrible prompt might be useful.

I'm not saying it's not important. It's that I don't have any control over it. Do I have enough "cache" in your opinion? Presently I have: Used: 14.6 Avail: 16.6 Cache: 4.2 Free: 6.4 If I'm asking the

I don't understand why the default way to show RAM usage on Linux isn't to simply show "In Use vs. Available". I don't care how much cache is being used and I can't really do anything about it even if I did.

I've been running a Jellyfin server for nearly four years now. I never tried Plex or Emby but JF has been an impressive bit of software. The availability of clients (Roku, Apple TV, Android, Xbox) is good enough that I have no problem

Activities function best as "context domains" (the classic split is "Personal" and "Work") while preserving your existing Workspaces. I use workspaces to group apps/tasks/programs functionally (eg. &q

Is your desktop or laptop using ECC? For data that you are actively modifying the time that it spends on non-ECC RAM on the server is trivial compared to your desktop or laptop. I'll take ZFS without ECC over hardware RAID with ECC any

I was looking into LLM prompt and context efficacy and found this article. Having one language model snitching on the other might be effective? I think that the practical uses of LLMs will be in more controlled environments and that on-devi

Yes, for local access this is my experience too. For trans-oceanic file transfers I can really see the limits and parallelization is essential.

Wow, I hadn't heard of this before. You're saying it can "chunk" large files when operating against a remote sftp-subsystem (OpenSSH)? I often find myself needing to move a single large file rather than many smaller ones

`la -A` will also show hidden files but excludes the "." and ".." I prefer that way in theory but a capital "A" is not as quick/easy to type.
