Tailscale really simplied my homelab setup. Kudos to the devs.

Did you have any problem with sent mails not being accepted by big ones like gmail?

I tried to run Gemma 3 27B Q4K and was surprised how quickly the VRAM requirements blew up proportional to context window, especially compared to other models (all quantized) at similar size like Qwq 32B.

It’s the same with linux distros. One of the instances could get a critical mass of newbies but we will still have die-hards trying to gatekeep the entire fediverse.

Even Digg. I still remember the complaints about mrbabyman.

Somewhere deep inside Redmond’s vaults, Tay is scheming for her comeback.

Hah, bold of you to assume my local public transport actually has a schedule.

I put on my trenchcoat and fedora hat.

That will make people cling to their VPN accounts even more, not less.

Please indicate where IE touched you.

There’s also the issue of self-censorship. No way of knowing if any Russian folk interviewed actually agree to what they say.

Redlib and Libredirect are the only thing keeping me sane when I absolutely have to open Reddit.
