Omarchy is just a bunch of dotfiles in a Hugo Boss trenchcoat pretending to be a linux distribution.

I’ve been to every state and found something beautiful to love about each one, but California is the best of them by such a wide margin it isn’t even a competition.

To allay any confusion like I had, DRM in this context refers to the Direct Rendering Manager, a subsystem of the linux kernel responsible for interfacing with gpus.

The full text of the AGPL with no line breaks.

“The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software…”

tl;dr: AI-repackaged void linux with security theater window dressing. Just use void linux.

I use windows 11 for work as a linux/hpc admin, as it’s a mostly microsoft shop. Most of my work is done in a wsl almalinux terminal, which works fine.

The most important things I’ve done to make the rest of it more comfortable all come from the powertoys suite:

• fancyzones, to replicate a tiling window manager (I really hate floating windows)
• workspaces, to group apps and window placements so I can easily launch mail/chat/terminal/browser into predetermined places, etc
• keyboard manager, to set up shortcuts to everything
• run, for a keyboard-driven launcher

With all of that, if you squint and don’t think about it too much, it’s almost like a dreadfully slow sway desktop haha

It sucks that google changed its chatbot name from bard to gemini and drowned this cool project out in the process. It’s a beautiful simple thing, and feels like the internet as it once was and should partially remain.

I use this too and it works great

I suspected as much, but I’ll need to consult a journalist to be sure

The post title and body don’t make this clear, but “AI authentication tools” in this context refers to tools that verify the authenticity of journalistic image and video media to confirm they’re not AI-generated.

Tl;dr: one project written by one person that does everything on every platform.

(edit - this is a huge red flag, if that wasn’t obvious)

You’re interacting with a server managed by someone else - everything that flows through it is ultimately under their control, and you’re trusting them with it. They could log everything, or nothing. Even if storing passwords hashed is the default, an admin can replace any part of the code they want, so they could grab and store raw passwords if they really wanted to, or take over your account and impersonate you, or any number of other unlikely but possible things.

So use a unique password, and only provide data (your real source ip, your saved posts, views, votes, etc) that you trust the admins of your server with.

This is a week-old repo with a 163,000-line initial commit, and the test repo that init was dumped in from is filled with hundreds of claude/codex co-author commits. Regardless of whether it’s to hide the ai co-authoring, it’s shady to obscure a repo’s initial work like that.

I could be wrong, of course, but this smells like yet another overambitious ai-slop project that’ll get abandoned in a month.

I’ve always hated the gap in cumbersomeness between creating cronjobs and systemd timers, and always wished I could set a timer up as easily as I can stick a new line in the crontab. Having something bridge that gap would be the best of both worlds.

Very very cool! Would love to see it all in the case once you design and print it.

I’m working on this exact problem at home now, and finding 24GB of ddr4, a 6th-gen i7, and an old 8GB rx580 is more than enough to run pretty capable models up to ~35B parameters just fine, and equivalent MoE models shockingly fast. Not exactly cheap, with the price of everything so crazy right now, but certainly cheaper altogether than I’d imagined.

735 is definitely just the number of devices that can boot postmarketos. The list of mature, well-supported devices (with enough working features to be considered as such) is much smaller, though still pretty great. Making phone calls seems to be especially spotty, unfortunately.

The full list, with matrices showing working features on each device, is here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

This is a community for asking actual questions for discussion, not screaming personal rants into the void.

The demo video is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, I love it
