This looks very cool! I maintain a FreeCAD workbench for 3d model version control[0], and it currently uses git as the VCS, simply because that's what I was already using. Thinking…

I use Google Maps on Graphene. It works perfectly. You still get the benefits of the rest of the phone being degoogled. Just allow it to access your location only when you're activ…

I don't understand why no labs create dedicated models per industry/expert. E.g. physics, electronics, chemistry, etc. Each model would be much smaller and better suitable for runn…

It's cool seeing all the engineering that goes into optimizing performance of diffs. I'm working on a FreeCAD workbench that generates diffs on CAD model trees[0], and although my …

I'd like to share a new workbench I've been working on called DiffCAD. Coming from a software engineering background, not having the ability to properly diff my CAD model changes w…

FreeCAD is really the only serious contender for CAD on Linux. I love how everything is hackable via Python APIs. Every release seems to fix more and more UX issues. I have very hi…

I know what it's like growing up in a religious atmosphere. Since you've been trained to think inside the box, you realize the box is nonsense. The problem is thinking that the onl…

There is a new update on HF: > Jan 21 update: llama.cpp fixed a bug that caused looping and poor outputs. We updated the GGUFs - please re-download the model for much better output…

What hardware can you buy for $5k to be able to run K2? That's a huge model.

OTOH I installed it on my elderly mother's computer, and she said that it did everything that MS Office could do. She's perfectly happy with it.

I do pretty much this. - /home/me -- 660 default permissions - /home/me/project -- owner "claude", add "me" to "claude" group - symlink /home/claude/project to /home/me/project - R…

Like others have mentioned, Blender has become quite the successful open-source story. They used to be riddled with bugs and UX issues, much like FreeCAD was. Yesterday FreeCAD rel…

I'm not sure, I've never used it. But I think the issue is that the number of MCUs that support micropython is very small.

I would think the portability of, say, a Python application running on Linux is a nice benefit. Try switching from one MCU to a totally different one and you may have to start from…

So Linux now officially support RTOS capabilities, without patches, which is pretty cool. I wonder, realistically, how many applications that were originally designed to use microc…

I'd buy a framework laptop just for that.

How long before AI crawlers start picking this up and start including it in their training data?

An old-time hang glider pilot has been keeping his website up-to-date since the very early 2000s, complete with rotating gifs, hidden SEO keywords, index pages, photo albums, and m…

Wow, the state of self-hosted photo libraries has gotten way better since I last settled on Photoprism a few years ago. Both Memories and Immich seem very polished. The timeline fe…

Most mobile bank websites have 100% functionality already, including depositing checks. The bank app isn't needed.

But they don't allow alternate app stores.

Any idea what to similarly search for for a cheap, low power server but has at least 4 bays for hard drives to use as a NAS?

Obsidian has a book search plugin that people use to create a library of notes: https://github.com/anpigon/obsidian-book-search-plugin I recently came across it in a youtube video …
