  • Introducing Mistral 3 open model

    Jump

  • Honest question for the open model folks here, what's the upshot? Like when I'm programming I much prefer to go line by line and make sure everything is exactly how it should be.

    I'm guessing most people are the same, but I still haven't really seen how a model is any better than spending an extra 30 minutes reading documentation or going through PR discussions.

  • I like that it gave up on maintaining ROYGBIV because the magazine connects with the gun at a yellow stripe and it loves to make continuous patterns.

  • Best E-Reader for pirating now that Kindle is difficult?

  • Pocketbook is just a tiny Linux distro. So is ReMarkable if you can find an old one for a good price (I got one for $130 and it's great for reading PDFs). My pocketbook has a good base UI, but you can sideload anything.

    There are Git setups for ReMarkable that let you put everything in a git repo so you can have a history of your books and reading/note states. Great for having detailed backups.

  • Milko pours are baller tbh. Like a sweet shot of creamy beer foam for usually $1-$2 in the West or 10¢ in Eastern Europe.

  • LTS is Long Term Support, common for most OSes to continue supporting older versions for some amount of time (unless you're Windows...) and Canonical extended the window for another 5 years for their LTS releases meaning servers running on a release from 2020 will now have support until 2035, which is honestly insane for a release window.

    Kinda makes sense though since most people will install Ubuntu on some server and not look at it again until they have an issue.

  • They're usually email threads for Linux and on whatever system the maintainers use for other things. Like GitLab, GitHub, Bugzilla, Google Issue Tracker, and Launchpad for Ubuntu are a few.

    I don't know of a single unified store of all of them, you'll just have to monitor the projects you're interested in and check for available RSS feeds.

    I steal his homework and check the citations and bookmark the links he includes since they're usually directly to issue tracker feeds and discussion threads. The only one I monitor regularly for myself is the Python Discourse site since I can get a good feeling for new PEPs and timelines for implementation of new features I want to use.

    Also, honorable mention here is fossil which was created for SQLite as their Git alternative. Neat little SCM solution that specifically solves issues the SQLite devs were having with Git (which you probably won't run into). Basically everyone has something different and you'll need to research it. This site used to use Gittea, and now it uses Codeberg with a GitHub mirror. Most dev conversations happen in a Matrix chat too, so even with one project you might find multiple ingress points for issues/discussions/PRs

  • Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS (home server) than anything you can buy

    Jump

  • If you can snag old mini PCs when a company upgrades or goes under, you can build a decent little kubernetes cluster for like $300 too. They usually have socketed i5s and a PCIEx1 slot with 3-4 SATA ports and 2 NVME slots. I've set one up with like 8TB of storage and 64GB or ram for under $100 all in

  • Since most of his content is pretty dryly going through Linux commit logs and issue/bug reports, yeah. He's definitely kinda mocking the LTT style

  • They have the same mole under the left eye, so I think he just started acting after leaving the music industry. Could be wrong though

  • What gets me is that so many people will seem totally normal until something kinda just triggers this. I live in a small town so everyone knows what everyone else's weird trigger thing is and they're avoided for the most part. But it's wild still knowing that basically everyone has done wild conspiracy they're into
