Jesus, that escalated quickly…

I’ve watched IT Crowd half a dozen times.

I haven’t managed to finish an episode of BBT before I switch it off in disgust.

There’s a strain of “cutesy” spelling going around where swapping vowels is somehow significant. I just put these people on the blocklist, they have nothing useful to say anyway.

This is my summer solar system. I like to winter in the Antares.

There is a guide in the Mail cow docs on integrating Roundcube, that’s the client I use for my stack.

I’m trying to figure out how to add it to Mailcow Dockerized and hook the existing containers. If I sort it out, I’ll probably PR it to Mailcow. I think it would a nice addition to start to build out a network that isn’t susceptible to the same spam attacks as regular email (yet).

I remember as a kid I set up one of the first private Echomail nodes as part of my RBBS bulletin board. UUCP was a big part of that, as I was the hop for other nodes coming onboard in my area. I added another half-dozen modems eventually just to handle the email traffic, then had to offload it to a university because I didn’t want to have to charge for the traffic and it was getting too big to handle. But it was pretty interesting at the time.

Only another one of Mushk’s companies would value X as high as that. Hell, other investors in that purchase have written their debt down 80%

I’d cheer if I thought this was anything except a blackmail play when a Trump administration is now involved. They’ll buy him off and it’ll all be back to status quo by fall.

INtersting link to the LLM DDOSing against FOSS project sites/repos that’s been going on.

I love this line:

What a shitshow.

I’m using vscode/Roocode with Gosucoder shortprompt, with Requesty providing models. Generally I’ll use R1 to outline a project and Claude to implement. The shortprompt seems to reduce the context quite a bit and hence the cost. I’ve heard about Cursor but haven’t tried it yet.

When you’re using local models, which ones are you using? The ones I mention don’t seem to give me much I can use, but I’m also probably asking more of them because I see what Claude can do. It might also be a problem with how Roocode uses them, though when I just jump into a chat and ask it to spit out code, I don’t get much better.

That koboldcpp is pretty interesting. Looks like I can load a draft model for spec decode as well as a pile of other things.

What local models have you been using for coding? I’ve been disappointed with things like deepseek-coder and the qwen-coder, it’s not even a patch on Claude, but that damn cost for anthropic has been killing me.

Fair enough, but it’s damn handy and simple to use. And I don’t know how to do speculative decoding with ollama, which massively speeds up the models for me.

Meshtastic node?

Claude is the standard that all others are judged by. But it’s not cheap.

Gemini is pretty good, and Qwen-coder isn’t bad. I’d suggest you watch a few vids on GosuCoder’s YT channel to see what works for you, he reviews a pile of them and it’s quite up to date.

And if you use VScode, I highly recommend the Roocode extension. Gosucoder also goes into revising the roocode prompt to reduce costs for Claude. Another extension is Cline.

LMStudio is pretty much the standard. I think it’s opensource except for the UI. Even if you don’t end up using it long-term, it’s great for getting used to a lot of the models.

Otherwise there’s OpenWebUI that I would imagine would work as a docker compose, as I think there’s ARM images for OWU and ollama
