After discovering my ferritin has been in range for ~4 years after raising it from 10-28, I finally did some research online and am just surprised at everything I learned. Even lower than 70 seems like it can hinder things.

Bound to happen. I’ve been using the new flash and it’s insane the value I’ve gotten, I wish I used it more for some other homelab things.

These make great additions for encoding/decoding https://www.sparkle.com.tw/files/20240729114820639.pdf and usually near $150 or lower

Yes - the Claude ACP is nice, as I like to have a view of the code while chatting. Using just the terminal for dense/long running work feels like a handicap imo. It would be great if it supported more commands though!

I would use something like zeta-2 instead - https://huggingface.co/bartowski/zed-industries_zeta-2-GGUF

This is what I do. I'd rather have a linux machine with a webUI on top like this than a full blown proxmox/truenas/unraid set up (for now). I never expose my NAS to the internet, other than wireguard/tailscale, so an admin console on a port never really bothered me.
Have a link?

Some parts went over my head but very interesting talk for someone with only college class level knowledge on CPUs
Re:How uv got so fast on Friday December 26, 2025 @04:15PM (#46396342)
Docker builds are a big one, at least at my company. Any tool that reduces wait time is worth using, and uv is an amazing tool that removes that wait time. I take it you might not use python much as it solves almost every pain point, and is fast which feels rare.
This is what I did - microcenter sells it now. Wiped the drive and installed fedora and more ram. Such a great deal for the hardware you get
Not sure if I would consider this private equity, but maybe https://automattic.com/ for software?

Been using it for a while. Sometimes it takes a minute+ to initially refresh feeds but I thank that’s a HN issue?

Nearly all of your comments have been self promo, I would chill out a bit
Not everyone can, or wants to set up running a local model. And it'll probably be slower on most users GPUs then what zed runs it on.
I mean, you still need the original (expensive model) to build off of, which openAI builds.

Was wondering why firefox said it blocked 100+ pop ups

Not OP, but it’s very unique compared to the other books. It reads more like a philosophy-type book.
Good thing alternative engines exist

It's still around, and still very useful for all kinds of comparisons when you need a UI https://www.scootersoftware.com/
