I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.
Are you using LLMs as search engines?
Bold.
I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.
Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but
- privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that's really the biggest reason anyone will have.
- this feels better environmentally. I actually don't know if that's true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.
- it's just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I've learned a lot about how the whole process works and that's more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

It's unfathomable to me how someone could spend that kinda money without talking to an expert or a government surveyor or something!
I spent a month considering if I should get a $500 GPU and I still fucked that up as it isn't even working on my Linux server yet.
Missed the lore.
Why boycott .ml ?
Gaming rig: 32" 1440p monitor, Ryzen 7 5800x, 32 gigs DDR4, RX 6600xt, 4 TB NVME storage
Laptop/WFH desk: 2x 24" Lenovo Tiny in One monitors I got for free, Dell Docking station gotten for free (I mostly spend time here)
Server: EPYC 7302P, 109 GB DDR4 ECC memory, RTX 5060ti, RTX 3060 12gb, 40 TB of HDD storage, 8 TB of SATA SSD storage
Couple things
- Start applying for things you're not sure and you know you aren't qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don't actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you're able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you're a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.
- Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.
Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.
Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it's all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.
I call it the MK Ultra gambit
Everytime it was a "Wow. That's neat!"
Proceeds to never do it again
My "production" home lab is 3 Optiplex 3050 with i7-7700. They work great and are pretty low power.
My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.
It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.
And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called "Revolver" to cycle through.
We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.
BBC from a distant corner!
Oh no the white queen is getting blacked!
He brought a CUCK CHAIR it's over folks!
Noods of shame
Its how you can tell PDP fans weren't paying attention. He promoted it a few times but it didn't gain any traction and he abandoned it.
Or maybe it just didn't help with the fascism allegations from the bridge moment and the Fiverr incidents since those all happened about the same time.
Hell, he had Ben Shapiro host an episode of LWIAY. Sure it wasn't peak genocide apologizer we have now Benny Boy, but he was still a verifiable dick head grifter.
Bethesda game runs like ass
That's not news
You got into Self Hosting for unreasonable ideological reasons
I got into self hosting to avoid AWS Fees

I agree with most everything here.
A solid Medkit/IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) should be your next purchase easily.
Then Battle belt > Survival Gear/Bug out pack > Upgrade to plate carrier/chestrig
But if you think you're going to pickup hunting or your home defense situation changes, I'd get a shot gun after the Medkit
Also Training + Ammo is always a given.

Try some range time with both and see what is more comfortable to you while shooting.
It's important to try it while shooting because that's when it matters.
He's also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.
There's a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled "Subscribe to PewDiePie" besides being a topical meme.
Odd since it's arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account
