    How do these compare to the fish builtin history search with dir awareness and completion menu? I found it quite an improvement to bash history handling but fish isn't POSIX compat…

    These feel quite different. IRGC attacked Amazon compute. Ukraine attacked several warehouses. Comparing Wildberries to Amazon is also only half the truth. Wildberries is directly …

    Do not run Ubuntu on these old machines, use plain Debian instead (no fat desktop needed, no overhead due to braindead snap packaging etc.). Xfce4 should be fine. SSDs help and als…

    Be sure not to buy any 'branded' variant, though (e.g. from Verizon etc.)!

    Something like that would also be great for scripting, not only agents.

    Have a look at Donato Capitella's video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zp8j4vO-wz0 He provides also toolboxes and benchmark tables as text (in the video description)

    Regarding M5, this has similar size but runs Linux and is cheaper: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/m5stack/cardputerzero

    DGX Spark does not have high memory bandwith. M3 Max (Mac Studio) features more memory bandwith than that one. See https://aimultiple.com/dgx-spark-alternatives

    You do not have to use all resources that are under the systemd umbrella. That's just BS, sorry. And prod deployments breaking... Well I guess that never happened with those best-m…

    Currently, llama.cpp clusters don't support tensor parallelism, have a look at Donato Capitella's detailed report: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKXm_mKCCM He also provides rocm t…

    Tangentially, in theory, k3s + kubevirt + microvms sounds like the optimal combination for lightweight but isolated deployment. Does anyone have experience with that?

    Please show sources. Maybe no one appreciates it because it's only rumors spread by enterprises massively profiting from such rumors? And about your toilet paper analogy: Every pro…

    It was a giant mistake to keep 'classic' (umnaintained, unpatched) yarn around. Switched to pnpm in part due to that reason.

    Not at all. If you're lucky you can (after some fiddling) install a real coreboot, this site is incredibly helpful for that: https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/getting-started.html…

    Kudos for the idea and being fully open to the state of this project (AI code, expect breakage)!

    This is a GNU extension so not portable.

    There's another big feature: You're not relying on the time zone to which the server was set (like with cron) but can explicitly specify a time zone: https://www.freedesktop.org/so…
