  • What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for?

    Jump

  • Intel has some GPUs that are more cost effective than NVIDIA's when it comes to VRAM.

    Arc A770 is selling for $370 in the US, and the new B50 for $399, both with 16GB.

    B60 has 24GB, but I'm not sure where to find it.

  • 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower

    Jump

  • That sounds very dependent on the language. I've never read/heard "PS" as horsepower before. Let's just use kW ffs.

  • timeoutSort

    Jump

  • finally, sorting in linear time /s

  • Anyone have any favorite diffing tools?

    Jump

  • yeah, I was also after a CLI tool for that because my goto is a 3-way merge in a GUI editor at this moment. I just didn't find any CLI tool that beats that in usability and visuals (syntax+diff highlighting)

    For simple diffs, my favorites are difftastic and Delta.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • everyday to once a month, depending how often I use the server

    IME usually waiting longer to apply larger updates causes more issues than smaller and more frequent ones

  • Why do some people fork repos but make no changes to them?

    Jump

  • you compare the number of forks with the number of contributors

    forks are almost always higher, not just higher, but often by a factor of 10

  • lol the readme reads "a not so terrible" but the repo description reads like

    A terrible web ui and RPC server for yt-dlp

  • Mistakes I see engineers making in their code reviews

    Jump

  • Good, I just partially disagree with the 5-6 comments per PR. The number of comments is usually proportional to the number of changes. 10 comments in a 300-line PR seems excessive. 20 comments for 5k lines doesn't.

    Sure I can just shrug it and say I'm not reviewing a 10k line PR until it's split, but that's not very helpful either. So I just leave more comments and if they think it's too much, I'd encourage them to open a smaller PR next time.

  • Self-Host Weekly (24 October 2025)

    Jump

  • yeah, I adopted it last year and I probably wouldn't have picked it today. I'm glad that despite of that, in the end it's just an S3 compatible storage and, thanks to that, it's not too difficult to replace.

    Another day of AWS outages

    Jump

  • tbh it's still more uptime than I can manage myself

  • The AWS outage hit us during the day in Australia. I didn't notice because I run my own server, btw

    Jump

  • We do it for an immediate benefit not for some hypothetical apocalyptic scenario result of a half baked conspiracy theory.

    It's a bit like calling people who camp in the woods, fish, or rock climb "preppers" because these would be useful skills after the modern civilization.

  • As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's BS. I scrutinize PRs to let peers realize that it's often not worth the time when they have to redo basically everything the agent wrote in the first place. There's been some truly lazy PRs...

  • Idk how recent that Monado support is, but I couldn't get the reverb G2 to work on Linux at all a couple years ago.

    Do this asap

    Jump

  • LLMs have inherent problems that are not going to be solved tomorrow and probably not in the next decade. Companies are struggling to justify their investments and, while useful at times, LLMs won't lead us to average intelligence, hardly superintelligence.

    If AGI was around the corner, do you think Sam Altman would be wasting time with erotic content generation?
