I keep hearing that gptoss-120 is actually usable for agentic work. True? It may cause me to break the sat's piggy bank for some more vram this year. If you have experience, what context window size has been working well for you? 128k would be nice, but not sure i can afford that XD

I need to stop looking at my dashboard, but it's wild how this bot crawling is 1:1 request/ip address. They're choosing to spare me. I feel like control over 20,000 unique IP addresses could do a lot of damage. This is new btw. Completely generic agents, completely "random" paths, a new IP address per request. I'm seeing 2-3k unique IP addresses per hour, over 10k unique IP's in the past 12 hours.

People ask me why it takes me so long to get anywhere, or why I don't get on the freeway. MF it's because I'm driving the back-roads without Flock government surveillance cameras.
