  1. What hardware can you buy for $5k to be able to run K2? That's a huge model.
  2. OTOH I installed it on my elderly mother's computer, and she said that it did everything that MS Office could do. She's perfectly happy with it.
  3. I do pretty much this.

    - /home/me -- 660 default permissions

    - /home/me/project -- owner "claude", add "me" to "claude" group

    - symlink /home/claude/project to /home/me/project

    - Run claude in different user session

    - Use CTRL+ALT+F2 to immediately switch between my main and claude sessions. Claude continues working in the background.

  4. Like others have mentioned, Blender has become quite the successful open-source story. They used to be riddled with bugs and UX issues, much like FreeCAD was. Yesterday FreeCAD released v1 of their software, and they seem to be on the same redemption path as Blender. It's too bad their v1 release didn't gain much traction on here, as more people ought to give FreeCAD another whirl. The improvements there are massive. And it's the only proper parametric CAD software available on Linux.
  5. I'm not sure, I've never used it. But I think the issue is that the number of MCUs that support micropython is very small.
  6. I would think the portability of, say, a Python application running on Linux is a nice benefit. Try switching from one MCU to a totally different one and you may have to start from scratch (e.g. try going from Microchip to STM.) Can you describe why embedded Linux is still a slog? And what do you think it would take for the issues to be addressed?
  7. So Linux now officially support RTOS capabilities, without patches, which is pretty cool. I wonder, realistically, how many applications that were originally designed to use microcontrollers for real-time purposes, can be migrated to use Linux, which vastly simplifies and lowers the cost development. And having the ability to use high-level languages like Python significantly lowers the barrier to entry. Obviously certain applications require the speed of a MCU without an operating system, but how many projects really don't need dedicated MCUs?
  8. I'd buy a framework laptop just for that.
  9. How long before AI crawlers start picking this up and start including it in their training data?
  10. An old-time hang glider pilot has been keeping his website up-to-date since the very early 2000s, complete with rotating gifs, hidden SEO keywords, index pages, photo albums, and more goodies!
  11. Wow, the state of self-hosted photo libraries has gotten way better since I last settled on Photoprism a few years ago. Both Memories and Immich seem very polished. The timeline features look great. I may need to play around with these.
  12. Most mobile bank websites have 100% functionality already, including depositing checks. The bank app isn't needed.
  13. But they don't allow alternate app stores.
  14. Any idea what to similarly search for for a cheap, low power server but has at least 4 bays for hard drives to use as a NAS?
  15. Obsidian has a book search plugin that people use to create a library of notes: https://github.com/anpigon/obsidian-book-search-plugin

    I recently came across it in a youtube video but haven't used it myself.

    Edit: video I came across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PFFJlyiv28

  16. Drop these quick notes into a folder (can be automated with Templater). Create another note that uses the DataView plugin to show you a table of all the files in this folder sorted by the creation date.
  17. I'm looking at the frontend source code, and the Svelte components look almost the same as VueJS single file components using the composition API. Can someone who has used both comment on both their pros/cons?
  18. Do you have a link to the lightbar you have?
