Criticism on LLMs has two angles:

• Data usage and energy cost while running it - this you would have under control when selfhosting
• Training of the LLM: You have no control over how the LLM was trained - not which data sources were used, the forkforce that cleaned up the data or the amount and type of energy used to do so

Can I introduce you to a so called Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher?

My 5700X for 110€ should easily handle my needs until either a major architectural shift or a groundbreaking new design makes upgrading truly necessary.

We all have and we all will.

People get really mad when you post abysmal quality boomer crap.

Each package is precompiled for different architectures (aarch, x84_64) for different targets (linux, darwin) and each NixOS version has a separate binary cache (unstable, 25.11, 24.11)

That alone means there are at least 12 different versions for one package of a specified version in the binary cache. Now add different versions to that and and you are well below 50MB per package.

I only use Gentoo during the cold periods to keep my feet warm. /s

To be serious: I hope Codeberg is able to keep up with the increased traffic and computing power required with the influx of the new projects.

If NixOS should decide to switch the nixpkgs repo, this would mean serious business:

• nixpkgs contains 120k packages
• Hydra as CI/CD for automated building of packages
• Storage for 150TB of binaries
• NW bandwith and maybe redesign into global distribution networks needed

I highly doubt that Codeberg would be a valid alternative platform in terms of storage, CI/CD capabilities or raw computing power.

I am sure something vile will be said about his death by the US gov and in reaction a strongly worded letter will be drafted. RIP.

Meanwhile people in US:

Just in time since 2026 we get the alpha of the ladybird browser. This will be a big boost for the new engines currently in development and the popularity of Librewolf.

Denmark: everything is hygge unless you are Inuit or a Refugee. Now add free Internet to the exception list.

I really hope GNU/Linux can run on old Fax machines and the printing-out-emails workflow works smoothly.

The current political landscape in Germany lacks viable alternatives:

• The current coalition (conservatives and social democrats) openly against their voters, knowing that there is no alternative
• The social democrats, on their own, are ready to back stab their voters on every opportunity
• The Ecologists are known for betraying their base values.
• The left-wing party remains preoccupied with internal conflicts, neglecting practical solutions.
• Far-right factions pose a direct threat to democratic values and must be opposed.

Ok, it seems there is little doubt that EU chat control will be implemented. The question then becomes: How can individuals opt out of this? What existing technical solutions are already available, and what needs to be newly developed?

Just keep moving the Wifi APs for maximum chaos and open bug reports to Mircosoft since location service is unreliable.

Yes, I wouldn’t go so far and trust MS applications in emergency cases :D

I don’t get it. Why would it matter that Teams knows where you are working? If you need to hide from your coworkers or your boss then maybe it’s time to change company?

On the other hand: if Teams is using Wifi to correlate your position you could mess with it by exchanging the access point positions, ie exchange your bosses AP with the one in the cellar.

Not according to hud.gov:

too early?
