I like Anki for when I want to increase my vocab on words I actually need and am otherwise plateauing. I can take photos of the book, get an LLM to define the word in context, and record audio of my friends saying it if it’s particularly tricky to pronounce. Then train on these flashcards to improve over time.

Same. It’s an OS not a lifestyle choice. Good OS though - two years now I think, and not complaints.

Oh yes.

Paywalled, here is an archive link

Jottacloud is pretty good. They have a Linux CLI too

I’ve been meaning to try Pixtral for multimodal use cases, looks like llama.cpp is the way but I have only used Ollama before locally.

What was the episode number where it turned out Dennis had a massive Wang?

Oh wow. I am suddenly less excited about our Wayland future.

Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there’s a VM for that.

As someone who missed out on BBS I find this genuinely tempting

I got half way through AH1 and just couldn’t anymore. Combat was just insufferable and the dialogue was a slog too.

I think feathers are ruffled but jimmies are rustled?

This is a cool idea. We’re not super happy with slack at work but I admit we haven’t given matrix a proper go yet. Wish we could stop for like a year just to evaluate the stack and the toolset. I kid. Sort of.

Probably ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

I had been holding onto ComicRack for years and really loved it for scraping and generating tags before adding to Komga. I was a happy camper when i found ComicTagger.

Move zig

It was the friends we made along the way

After a decade of using the bare minimum vi modes I just yesterday discovered I could use visual mode to jointly indent multiple lines.

I will still prefer pycharm every day of the week over vim, but yesterday I needed to modify code on a server and rebuild some docker containers. I couldn’t be arsed setting up my local env, making a merge request etc and was pretty impressed that a combination of screen, vim, docker compose and git - all available via SSH, was a complete toolset for getting an emergency change deployed and an app running again.

We’ve been using tools/function calls from gpt4o prompts - simple enough, and lets us use different models for the tools. Haven’t really found an advantage to using MCP yet, and usually don’t like adding such new standards to things that need to go to prod. Curious what others are thinking here - am open to the idea that mcp is really this amazing thing that I just misunderstand.

that is cool. I hadn’t tried konsole before - there are menus for days in here, I’ll never get any work done lol. Slick, and makes that fedora kde fling I have been considering more tempting.

update to say that tabby is nice for ssh including key auth, and with profiles and groups it gets most of the job done. There is an sftp “plugin” but all it does is summon sftp. Will see if I can get it to open filezilla and use the env vars in calling the command. Setting aside RDP for now as guac looks like a good fit there.
