Oh god... finally, the Framework laptop is unbricked now

Required a main board change and me nuking everything from the SSD...

@zlatiah Did warranty cover it?

@zlatiah That's amazing
I currently have an M15 R6 but I'm thinking about picking up the $500 @frameworkcomputer when it goes bad. However, I like having a GPU and $2000 for the Framework 16 is overpriced for me.

Thanks to @dimitribouniol and @glacials, we're much closer to the next Cork release! I was finally able to implement the first version of a self-compiled check, which was the only requirement left for the next release.

As promised, both Dimitri and Ben will be getting either a free Cork license or the cash equivalent, as well as a special shoutout in the contributors sections once the feature is fully implemented.

@davidbures I think the pricing model for software wherein the compiled version is a one-time purchase but people can compile it themselves is smart. However, I imagine this isn't possible with interpreted languages like and .
If you couldn't charge for compiled versions of Cork, how else would you monetize it whilst keeping the code open source?

@kravemir @davidbures @glacials My latest project is a way to interact with LLMs via email.
I'm thinking about offering a rate-limited version where people can email example@example.com and get a response generated. I feel like this is more of a novelty and in its current state, not something people would pay for. Yet, it costs money to pay for LLM APIs. In this case, I feel like the only way to sustainably offer a hosted version is by giving people who pay extra features to fund free access.

@davidbures @kravemir @glacials How do you manage payments for Cork? I recently created a GitHub sponsors profile and am thinking about providing access with x number of tokens per month under a certain sponsorship tier. If someone is not a sponsor, their response is processed on Ollama running on a Raspberry Pi instead of through an API which I have to pay for. However, GitHub sponsors is not made for powering subscriptions.

Also, do you use Stripe for payment processing?

I'm working on a project () and I want to make a post about it on .
It is functional and works quite well for having started work on it recently. Should I just make the post on HN?

zlatiah, to random

Current setup...My old laptop should fully function as a dedicated server, the Pi is used for PiHole

Cable-wise... I did my best lol, maybe I'll have to get a shorter Ethernet cable

@zlatiah How do you keep the display off on the laptop?
Also, what OS are youyr running?

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@zlatiah Ah, okay.
I have an all in one machine that I want to turn into a server but there's no lid so I'll have to figure out another way to keep the LCD off.

I will be jumping distros soon, and I'm thinking either Debian, or Kubuntu 24.04 LTS

@stfn What’s your current distro?

Been a user since 2017, and a heavy user since 2022.

Finally beginning to realize the full promise of it – and it is a thing of beauty 🤩

@josh Is this Element or some other client?

@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

I've been facing many issues with using () with my based project. I love Poetry for publishing packages, but think that would be better since I have to deal with and whatnot. Anyone familiar with a way to use pyproject.toml for publishing and building packages, even if Poetry isn't being used for dependency management?

For context, here's the project I'm working on: https://github.com/slashtechno/wyzely-detect

@kytta Interesting - what do you recommend I migrate to, especially if I want to use conda? I imagine if using any build tool with conda, the build tool would not be able to package the program if dependencies are installed with conda and not directly with pip - correct?

I finally understood what a tensor is.

@stfn Aren’t LLMs rather bad when it comes to mathematics though?

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@stfn Ah. Okay - makes sense.
I’ve also used LLMs for various math concepts.
Also, I think that GPT-4 had the ability to process math, or at least GitHub Copilot does.

I hope y'all in the US find a productive way to spend the extra hour tonight. I will be teaching myself to use podman

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@jerry Do you currently use Docker? I've tried using Podman but rootless containers didn't seem worth the effort of migrating.

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@jerry I will say, I don't have extensive knowledge regarding - my servers are primarily Docker containers running on either my Pi 4 or my 10+ year Vostro. I imagine for larger-scale projects where security is critical, rootless containers would be preferred.

Would be great to hear your experience if you experiment with rootless!

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@triangulum @jerry Even after running outside of rootless? I was under the assumption it was fully compatible.

@triangulum @jerry Interesting
Noticed this post regarding this as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37662525

@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@whynothugo @jerry For some ports, in addition to some system capabilities, you need root - correct? Is there any way to force Podman to act like Docker?

@jerry I'm curious how these folding 3D cards are manufactured.

Stop. Putting. Important. Info. In. Discord.

Put it on the actual web, where it is searchable.

slashtechno,
@slashtechno@fosstodon.org avatar

@gamingonlinux I agree. However, I recall coming across AnswerOverflow on Hacker News. Seems to allow you to index server messages. Whilst this doesn't eliminate the issue, it can at least allow the information to be discovered easier.

@brawaru @gamingonlinux Agreed. However, if information is going to be in a Discord community anyway, making it searchable from a normal search engine can be a small improvement.
