My brain usually begins being productive after 8 pm. If by 10 pm I feel that progress is being made I can go all night. You blink and it's 4 am and there is... This comfy feeling, being there doing your thing in the middle of the night when it's all quiet and everyone is sleeping, you're listening old nostalgic songs and being like 8000% more productive while remaining 100% chill and contempt.

Setting up #ComfyUI for Linux with Radeon GPU ended being way easier than anticipated. 1. Install latest version of ROCm. 2. With pip, install a pyTorch build for that ROCm version. 3. Clone ComfyUI repo. 4. Create a Python virtual environment and activate it. 5. Install the Python packages from requirements. Then if everything was done right, you'll be able to bring up ComfyUI server without errors. The interface can be reached via browser from localhost port 8188.

The incredible #twitter phenomenon which they hide your posts and likes even from yourself. I'm so shadow banned on that platform, I can't even see some of my own posts. Try it yourself: in the app, delete all your posts, replies and likes, you might not be able to zero the counter even after you delete everything. Then, request that an archive with all your data be sent to you. It will arrive in your e-mail days later. You can open the archive in a browser and see all your posts and likes, including the hidden ones. The hidden posts are still there, if you copy the direct link to it from the archive, you can still load them in a browser. It's just not normally visible to anyone. My KYCed profile I used to tweet since 2009 has 21 posts and over 8000 likes hidden. One thing I noticed is that the hidden content started from mid 2020, shortly after the pandemic started. It also coincided with the time when impressions and engagement to my posts plummeted. My posts used to get thousand of views and at least dozens of likes, then tanked to 0 to 20 views and 0 to 2 likes (from the profiles tagged in the post). If no one is reading my posts, then at least I will be posting them on #Nostr.

I LOLed at the face of my manager when he said I should be more proactive and communicative. The guy even said I could be fired if I don't improve it. Bitch, try it, I will be doing the exact same work to the same customers but making more in a day than the company pays me in a month. It's funny how clueless managers are. They don't even know what they are managing, but somehow they always have this "boss" attitude. It may scare someone younger, more naive or someone who desperately needs the money, but it will not work with me. Why not just talk like adults who belong to the same team? Talking too much doesn't solve a problem. Acting too fast hurts assertivity. If you want an instant response, you can always use GPT, I just can't guarantee it will solve the customer's problem. Unfortunately, at least on my field, AI haven't reached that level yet, otherwise my job would be way easier!

#Monero mining performance of my rig's new CPU: Stock: 20,5 kH/s +EXPO: 21,5 kH/s +PBO+CO: 22,5 kH/s Simply turning EXPO profile on the memory added 5% to hashrate without any increase in temperature or power draw. PBO added another 5%, at the cost of drawing more power. I haven't measured it, therefore it's unclear if the difference in energy consumption is worth the additional hashrate. More power naturally leads to higher temperatures. At 24°C ambient, temps while mining were ~77°C before PBO, then ~88°C after PBO and Curve Optimizer at -15 mV. At operational system level, power profile at Balance and Performance were similar, while Economy dropped hashrate to stock levels, while keeping temps at 60°C and noise at near silent levels.

One thing I hate about Linux is package managers installing like one hundred dependencies when I want to install a single software. Then one on the list is named like nvidia and I'm like bitch I'm team red.

Apparently, finding a wireless peripherals set for my new #sffpc that are fully compatible with #linux is a much harder task than I would imagine. Even though there are some #opensource projects, the compatibility list is so small because manufacturers only develop drivers and software for windows.

I don't know why I still even try to use Twitter. My feed is bombarded with stupid blue checkmarked engagement farming posts. Even using "Not Interested In This" function doesn't help it. No, I don't want to read anything about Trump, american politics, fucking Israel or any of this clown show. These add nothing to my life, for me that's just noise, pollution to my mind. Pitifully, interesting and insightful replies from regular people are hidden at the bottom of the threads, behind hundreds of AI generated responses by blue checkmarked bots that only regurgitate the original post. Most my replies have absolute 0 views. Even if I'm helping OP, it feels like I'm a ghost trying to warn someone alive not to slip on the banana peel.

I work in a tech company. Right now there's a guy explaining what LAN means to the new girl that was hired. Lol, most guys know this since they were kids. I should start looking for a better job asap...

Make X/twitter posts limited to 140 character again. Tired of starting to read a post just to few seconds later notice it is an AI generated slop the size of a thesis.

Getting rid of gmail is one of the most difficult but important things one can do for a sovereign digital life. It has been my main email for almost two decades. Most of my logins are associated with it, including many services I don't even remember registering. Most people suggest simply moving to protonmail but although it may be the easiest path, I don't think that's a true solution for the problem. Proton deletes your account if you don't log in the app or via browser for more than 1 year. Imagine being in a comma or simply having a busy/bad year and bam all you had is lost. Tutamail is even worse, it happens in 6 months. The email provider I used when I started mining Bitcoin in 2009 deleted my email where I stored the wallet seed in 2012, to save less than 100 MB on their server. It would be way better if I had backed up in a CD. Imagine how much important data one can easily lose trusting an email provider with inactivity deletion of one year or less. The best approach for this problem IMHO is having your own domain, hosting your own email server and regularly backing up in your own physical media. However that's too difficult for the vast majority. And the majority also don't think it's necessary, and don't care about Google asking for ID or facial recognition. #agorism #degoogle #opensource #selfhost #KYC

When you're used to #Linux as your battlestation, but your workstation runs Windows with bloat Israeli spyware disguised as "cybersecurity", it can be a PITA. The best part though are Windows updates. I always leave it to update during office time. This way I get half an hour free basically every week.

And now we easily see why the internet the way it works is not compatible with the centralized model of 'big tech' companies. Banks in UAE are supposedly offline due to an Iranian precision strike in AWS data centers. Imagine during times of distress, such as being stranded in foreign land in mid of war and falling missiles, you rely on f***ing banks and their system won't even load This will NEVER happen with #crypto (such as Monero). You don't need to rely on no company or bank if you host your node. You don't need authorization, the network just confirms it. There is no such thing as transfer limits, you just use your money. #internet #AWS #Iran #banks #XMR

A GPU like the 7900XTX costs 1000 dollars. A Cursor basic subscription is 20 dollars per month. Investing in the GPU to run locally AI coding LLMs pays back in 4 years if you're a light user, and down to 1.5 year if you're a moderate user (Pro+ plan). #selfhost #opensource #AI #code #LLM
