> We've all heard people say that local Qwen 27B or 35-A3B is "near-Opus level" Uh, so, yeah. Im running local Qwen, but Qwen3.5-122B using Krasis https://github.com/brontoguana/kr…

I also have at times ordered deliverables on Alibaba (not aliexpress). Being able to send funds in yuan over Ali network solves almost all problems with that.

PIA is my VPN vendor. They and Proton both support port forwarding. Port forwarding is a hard requirement of what I do. And given Proton CEO's support of the US administration (spe…

Thats rough. If anything, thats an indication to me to make a HA setup so you can power down 1 member. Im not going to watch a video, honestly, but HA with a front-facing Zookeeper…

I can load US dollars I hand over to the CVS attendant and load it on my AliPay (Alibaba account). I can then pay my Alibaba server bills with Alipay.

This person is correct. I pay for 2 servers running in Asia under Alibaba, using my local CVS drugstore. Im in the Midwest USA. Not a single problem at all.

NoMoreNicksLeft conveniently left out the (singular!) banned book they were referring to. I believe that was by intent, to make the strawman unassailable. And its easy to attack bo…

Nice strawman you constructed. However, it was burning the moment you put it together. Its easy to say that pornography and smut are the only things banned in school and public lib…

In the USA, the books that are banned are for public schools. They talk about topics like (gasp) LGBTQ and sex things! Now where the USA censors routinely is financial censorship. …
