- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 20 hours ago:
I’ve run koboldcpp on a steam deck. You have to stick to small model files, of course, like maybe 4Gb, but you can get decent speed if you do.

I wonder how Doc pronounced “gif”?

I use Obsidian as a OneNote replacement because it’s built around markdown, which is just a a text file that includes structure and formatting.
I don’t use their subscription syncing service, just sync files to my own phone and server. Obsidian is great for organizing, but I can still read all the files as text.
- Comment on Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement 1 week ago:
I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).
Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.

Someone recently posted this, or a similar picture, and I was about to ask the same question until they mentioned that they’d translated it to English for posting.
Teletubbies do say things such as “eh oh!”, or “Lala ball”. I don’t know if that was subtitled, but The Clangers definitely was.

Why would you want it to be a server instead of an app just running on the phone, that can work offline?

- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 2 weeks ago:
I used those to call back to the UK when I moved to the US, back around 2005.
When you entered the number you wanted to call, it would do a VOIP connection from the line you were on to that company to a line in the destination county. So it was an Internet call for the international part (which is how they did it cheaply).
I realized that because the cards I bought were from a company with “VOIP” in the name!
I had one of those Radio Shack tone dialler boxes so that I could pre-program the free US number and the card id number.

My son’s homework is frequently in metric (a US school district). Many drinks (wine and sodas) and medicine doses are too. The US uses metric just as the UK still uses miles and pints.

One day you’ll pick up your son for the last time and neither of you will realize it.
I’m fact, he’ll want you to one more time and you’ll put your back out trying. Then you’ll both know.

Oh. Well, I haven’t seen any changes like that. Yet. Still time, I guess.
And also seriously, I didn’t get any eye color change. I also had lens replacements a few years ago, but that didn’t involve a vitrectomy, so I still had floaters at that point.
When I went to a new opthalmologist recently, that asked about my eye health history. It took about 45 minutes!
- Comment on My friends are by my side 4 weeks ago:
I had a detached retina which involved (spoiler for those that don’t like to read about eyes)
Tap for spoiler
Having the fluid removed and replace with gas. My eye was out of action for months, going through all the stages of gradually refilling itself. I had to stay mostly lying down for a week. For a while I had an effect like looking over the surface of water. Later, a big bubble that distorted vision. Oh also, I was forbidden to go to high altitude because the pressure change could cause damage. But after all that, just a few occasional floaters. My other eye still had lots of “tethered” floaters that seem to still be attached like seaweed strands. So it can be done but you would go through a lot to get there. I’ve heard that people do get that done just for the floater problem.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 4 weeks ago:
I should add that I do use it for backups, it’s a great program, but I’ve only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 4 weeks ago:
I’ve sometimes found that it just stops syncing on one phone. And I did turn off battery management.
I need something that’s reliable.
I use resilio, but recently it used 20% battery in 6 hours overnight, when nothing needed syncing.

Is there any way for it to sync from desktop to Android immediately when a file changes on the PC?

- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 5 weeks ago:
Last year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.
It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden “legacy” subscription.
So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.

You should join Facebook. I looked at ONE video of a cat firing an automatic weapon on a doorstep, and for the next month my feed was full of doorbell recordings of animals with weapons.

True. Part of me still wants a Nokia N90 just because it hinted at so much functionality when I first saw it.
- Comment on No it won’t 2 months ago:
I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.
Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.
It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.
