And I do `docker compose up` now with a caddy server in front of docker, so I can just add a new site (sub domain or directory) that reverse proxies to that docker container's port…

I have found that for some personal prose-related projects, QWEN 3.6 35B A3B is an amazing model even quantized down to 4 bits. I actually find it's "writing" style as a GM for an …

> Pax Americana could've gone on forever. Hubris is the undoing of all empires. And hubris is basically entropy for humanity.

My guy, your account is nearly 10 years old, but your karma is only 36, and you are active on here... there is a reason. You are derisive, and abrasive, and your comments (specific…

> it's less clear why those are so much more expensive now. It's basically, because everything else has gotten more expensive. Labor + fuel + wear and tear on equipment + raw mater…

So we had our central HVAC burn up, and I bought a mini-split heat pump to replace it, because the HVAC companies around me don't do mini-splits. Apparently they also don't just re…

There are a few Data Centers going up within a couple hours of me, it has pulled all of the trades people away from us. I've called around to every electrician I can find online, o…

Sorry, I was doing conservative napkin math, better safe than burnt to a crisp, as grandpa NEVER said... I'm currently having to rewire a lot of the house that he built and I bough…

That's why they said "depending on country" In North America we are on 120V, making a standard 15A outlet only 1500W max, and something like 1200W sustained. To use higher wattage …

> many books are pretty low quality. Even low-quality books have words people might not know. I often find people who don't read books (physical or eBook) have a much lower vocabul…

Texans (generally) consider themselves Texans firsts. Similar to born and raised New Yorkers (NYC). That said, I really meant it tongue-in-cheek that my accent was too thick, and d…

As a Texan first, American second, I sympathize with this statement. Siri can't understand me probably 25% of the time. I use STT for iMessage while in the car, and half the time i…

There are properties on the API call you can pass for specific providers, so you test which providers you like the output, then add them to the list in ranked order if you want one…

More than 3 decades. The original world wide web had them. Link "circles"[1] fell out of favor for SEO around 2015 or so, but before that, they had been a primary driver of Page Ra…

> You'd see a lot more 1200sqft new builds if it was more economically viable and developers could make a profit on a $125k home instead of needing $400k. You do see them, but they…

> without a strong guarantee you'd get it all back? Mortgages are backed by the asset you are buying. $400k for a house is backed by the house. On top of that, almost every bank ca…

Even if new stock were built, new homes in Houston start around $300k for a 3/2 configuration, but those are bought up nearly instantly because not many are built, and the remainin…

I have 2 autoimmune disorders/diseases, and I have spent the last 2 decades managing them. One of them (thyroid) is relatively easy, take my synthetic thyroid hormones ever day, an…

I only partially agree with this - Access to housing for people unable to access a mortgage is very important. And the capital outlay historically required to OWN a house has been …

> Right now we're often in a situation where the only data you have is expensive tests ran when you're sick enough to justify them, when it may already be too late. In the USA, an …

I didn't down vote you, but you aren't really adding anything to the conversation. This type of pithy comment might be fun on Reddit, but at HN, we try to provide more constructive…

Why are you being nasty? And in what world is the Netherlands a second-world nation?

And not old... literally only 6 years ago.

I like this idea for something akin to p2p shared/sharded hosting.

I have a similar rig, but a 10th gen i7, 128GB of DDR4, 2TB NVMe, and dual RTX 3090s. Built it in 2021 for crypto mining, it ended up paying itself off just before Eth went PoW. I …
