I want to see how far it can go. Also, we are doing a good thing by QAing lemmy and lemmy clients.

Can we reach triple digits deep?

If you had the money to retire at 30, your savings would be invested and on an average year your earnings would cover your expenses. You would have health insurance, so no worries there. The only catch is that you would have to keep your expenses at 65% of what you spend right now. Would you take it, or would you rather work a few more years for a better lifestyle and financial security?

I always find it funny when people do that with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It completely misses the fact that Linux can be all of these things.

I am tired of paying for roaming, of being location tracked by my provider and running out of SIM slots.

So I have decided to connect some SIM capabilities to my server and set it up as a sort of proxy that I could access over the internet to send regular SMS and make regular calls through the server.

As far as I can tell it seems to be really complicated to do in linux and I just couldn't find anyway that would actually support sound over calls.

The only solutions I found right now are to get an old phone (not ideal because of the price, battery and reliability) or use something like

Which can be connected to the server on the aux and serial ports. This is not too pricey but still seems like a bit much for my needs.

My question is, are there better ways? Really all I need is SMS and calls.

Today as me and my SO were coming home from a morning walk, I felt a fart coming through. As they were unlocking the door, I stood there, letting the fart slowly make it's way out.

Feeling the fart nearing it's destination, i started contemplating going all the way and just going to the bathroom. Finally, the fart leaves me, the noisy street and the distance between us was enough to ensure my stealth.

Suddenly I notice that my SO is looking at me with a slight giggle.

"Whats funny?" I ask, fearing that I overestimated my stealthiness.

"I know what you are thinking right now." They reply with a giggle.

I slightly freak out not knowing what they think I'm thinking, because in my head I had no thoughts that were related to us right now.

"What do you mean?" I ask, slightly scared

"You are figuring out if you need to poop, right?"

"What?? How TF can they know that??" I ask myself as I get flustered and confused.

Eventually they tell me that I have a "Contemplating Poop" face and that they always know if I'm considering taking a dump.

Anyway...

I recently decided to bite the bullet and get into AI and specifically LLMs. Fuck corporate assholes and data hungry companies so I got some second hand GPUs and made a $800 rig that can run 32b models at very usable speeds. I started playing with it and decided to use pycharm with continue and a local ollama to have my own copilot.

I must say, this is the future. Not in the sense that soon we will all be prompt engineers (lol) but assuming that LLMs don't reach a point of true intelligence and continue to be fancier and fancier regurgitation machines, this is like having an instant StackOverflow in your IDE. I don't even bother with complex and unique ideas with it since it really seems that once you reach that area it becomes useless. Basically my programming flow has always started with writing down my rough idea of what I want to do and how I plan on doing it. Now I just feed that to the LLM and it gives me code that is like 90% accurate and I just do a code review, fix mistakes or weird logic and from there as I expand my code I use the LLM as a replacement for online searching. Need syntax help or basic library context? LLM got you covered. Need a function that does something basic or well known? LLM! It's kind of like having an infinite boilerplate library that can custom fit your needs. I think that the reason it works so well for me is that I really only let it handle the basics, anything that I need to think through I do myself.

I doubt we will ever go back from this.

Considering that pH plays a major role in teeth health and acid-reflux, two things that a significant portion of the population suffers from and can dramatically reduce quality of life, shouldn't the pH of a food item be just as important as nutritional values?

I have recently gotten a lot of criticism on my views on the Palestine-Israel situation, I'm now trying to learn more to have a more accurate and holistic perspective. So my question is how accurate is that video?

I commented the following on this post problem is not Netanyahu, it is not Ben Gvir. it is the white supremacist mindset of Israeli public.

This is not new, extremists gain power, they are then making everything they can to stay in power while they slowly turn anyone they can to their side. They use the education system, political systems, laws and the media. Considering that Netanyahu has been in power since 2009 he has literally shaped the political and moral ideology of a significant part of the population. Imagine being 10 yo at 2009, by the time you van vote all you ever knew was Netanyahu. At the end of the day, an adult that is calling for genocide is responsible for their opinions and actions, but this is how a situation where a majority of a country if genocidal happens, with slow, steady and intentional manipulation of the public. Netanyahu and his terrorist goons ARE the problem, but at this point removing them from power is just a small part of the solution. As a kid I always wandered how people can truly think a genocide is a good idea, as an adult I am sad to see that it really is that easy, it really can start with just the wrong people gaining power. And just to be fair, this is very much true about Palestine as well. While the situation is completely different, they too have been under a genocidal and terroristic regime since 2006 and many (probably most) would answer similarly to such a questionnaire about Israelis and Jews. Of course Palestine have had the short end of the stick for all of those years while Israel got to become a developed country. It's just sad to see how the people in power just fuck everyone around them, no one wins, no one is happy, all you get is death, hate and destruction, and of course the reason for all of this: Money, religion, power.

I don't know how to check who the mod was but it seems that they are removing plenty of content, some of which seems to be content that just doesn't support a black and white view of the situation where Palestinians are the only victims and Israelis are all evil (not excusing genocide here)

And the weird thing is that rule one has nothing to do with the comment:

Thought about it recently as I realized that I really like the song.
