Texas specifically has heavily politicized and demonized wind power, in spite of having massive successes with it prior to 2016 and being a leading producer of it. Solar isn't as b…

Sounds like a poster child for LXC containerization with Proxmox — all the host-level management of a non-ephemeral VM (including snapshots!), without the every-machine-has-its-own…

You'd think, but nope, it def doesn't — the site's TLS cert is issued by Google Trust Services, which issues domain-validated certs via ACME, so no, the only thing the site owner h…

Definitely heard re: the python code, yeah—it seems fine to my limited ability to review, and the functionality is there, and at least organizationally the structure makes sense to…

Nice!! Excellent job. I like the idea of using one of the side dots to show NTP sync status, too.

Asked and answered in the article comments, but briefly, I don't keep my phone in the bedroom at night, so no.

> Then I think this is a trap to get some kind of proprietary app onto your phone. This was my thinking as well, and why I rejected the idea. I'm not installing some rando company'…

Did you peek at the project's repo? The Ars piece is more of a narrative write-up; the repo has the step-by-step runbooks that I tried to ensure were beginner-friendly.

Look at it this way: LLMs are trained, among other things, on quality professional prose. I've been writing for Ars for almost 14 years at this point. I don't sound like LLMs. LLMs…

nope. i was using em-dashes and semicolons before they were cool.

To be fair, I did the research, the BOM, the systemd service and timers, the packaging, most of the installer, and the deployment pipeline myself. It's just the python and the Fusi…

True terminal art connoisseurs are still using their registered copies of TheDraw from 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw

OP, why mess with acme.sh's cron schedule with your own cron job that calls its cron job? You might instead consider running acme.sh again with the "--install-cert" flag, coupled w…

The tweet you link shows "Qwen 3.6 35b NVFP4 - 256k ctx, 110 tok/s", but I'm getting only half that, around 50 tok/sec, on a DGX Spark with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 (via vLLM) plus sp…

I'm currently fiddling with a DGX Spark and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (specifically Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 under vLLM, with EAGLE3 speculative decoding via eagle3-dogacel-vllm), and it's pret…

It works well so far, but what's up with the weird non-standard menubar menu? It's very odd, and it doesn't respect system light/dark mode preferences.

I haven't paired it with Ghidra MCP; because the games are relatively tiny (I'm starting with one of my personal favorites, Karl Buiter's Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic, which is …

I'm currently working through research and testing for an article on Ars about the Spark and what things one might do with it, and I've kind of stumbled into a two-LLM agentic setu…

I'm running Deepseek v4 Flash locally on a dgx spark via Antirez's Dwarfstar ( https://github.com/antirez/ds4 ), and even locally, it spouts CCP propaganda or simply refuses to eng…
