HomeKit Weekly: The Amazon Basics Matter plug delivers Apple Home support for under $10

    RT @Grady_Booch: Mit der Zeit werden LLMs (Large Language Models) irgendwann zu Commodities, und ihr Preis wird zu einem Wettlauf nach unten. Wenn der Wettbewerbsvorteil eines LLMs gegenüber einem anderen schwindet – insbesondere wenn Open-Source-Modelle expandieren – wird sich die Wertproposition auf die neuro/symbolischen Harnesses verlagern, die diese Modelle nutzen, also Strukturen, die Agents, Agent-Orchestrierung, Tooling und Komponenten-Plugins umfassen. Selbst die von Frontier-AI-Organisationen werden von Open-Source-Frameworks verdrängt. Das Letzte, was übrig bleibt, sind diejenigen, die die Rechenzentren beherrschen, auf denen diese Systeme laufen, und selbst das wird zur Commodity, wobei die Anzahl der Akteure auf wenige Überlebende schrumpft. Auch sie werden Druck spüren: Da die Rechenleistung steigt, werden immer mehr solcher Systeme lokal betrieben.

                                      Guys, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy with a computer purchase! Fedora recognized all my hardware perfectly right out of the box, and everything works great!

                                      I’ve had very different experiences with my various mini-PCs made in Chinese factories using child labor, especially with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards...

                                      Thunderbolt 4 is also recognized correctly, as are all devices connected to it. That didn’t work at all or only partially with the others (for example, the monitor only worked via the USB-C port on the monitor, but there was no image via the monitor’s Thunderbolt port; when the Logitech receiver was connected through the monitor, the mouse movements and keyboard inputs were choppy, etc.). But here: problem-free and fast via a single Thunderbolt 4 cable!

                                      The installation was done in a few minutes - that’s Linux for you. A Windows installation takes many hours for this… and then you’re left with nothing but spyware and ads on your computer.

                                      Conclusion: Asus NUC 16 Pro - highly recommended for every Linux user!

Así centralizo el acceso y vistazo rápido a todos los servicios en un solo lugar. Es ligero y sin bases de datos (config. en YAML), tiene Widgets integrados para monitorear contenedores, varios servicios y métricas del sistema y el despliegue es muy fácil. A futuro tal vez evalúe otras opciones, pero de momento Homepage resuelve muy bien lo que buscaba.

                                            If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.

                                            Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

Much appreciated! The 1st map shows where the "Origin" is (the crosshairs; the point where one first "spawns"). The "Owl" region has the most buildings (there's more than what is labelled) and train tracks connecting everything. The second map is the "Owl" region zoomed in. Train tracks connect each place shown. Vast regions still remain unexplored, and boating around is recommended to do that exploring (eg. bring a friend and boat together).

Jednak po kilku dniach złapałem się na tym, że i tak rzadko korzystam z podpowiadanych treści.

Z punktu widzenia mojego Threat Modelu każda funkcja, z której nie korzystam, to tylko zbędny kod i niepotrzebnie powiększona powierzchnia ataku. PipePipe daje mi dokładnie to, czego potrzebuję, czyli prosty, czysty strumień, brak reklam i wbudowany SponsorBlock.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            The reason was that Wendell from Level1Techs really praised this NUC in his latest video. He also highlighted the great Linux support from both Intel and ASUS. I’ve linked the video below.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            And unlike many Chinese manufacturers, you can easily find all the drivers on their support pages (both Intel and ASUS)—including those for Linux! Plus, the download servers are fast, unlike with the Chinese manufacturers...

                                                                                                                                                                                                            It has 32 GB of RAM, but unfortunately it’s soldered onto the motherboard on this model—though it does offer faster speeds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            I had to buy the NVMe drive separately; I opted for a 1 TB WD Black SN850X. Since I store everything on the NAS, I need virtually no storage space on the computer itself—just enough for the operating system; 256 GB would be more than enough. But a larger NVMe drive means more speed and a longer lifespan.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Other specs: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, ASRock B390, 2x TB4, 2x 2.5-inch, 4x USB-A 10G, 1x USB-C 10G, 2x HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, two M.2 Gen5/Gen4 slots. It’s a breeze!

                                                                                                                                                                                                            So, let’s install Linux on it! (To be on the safe side and to ensure the best possible support, it’ll be Fedora again...)

The ToC states, ‘you must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by “generative AI” tools’.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              What does ‘mostly’ mean? What does ‘written by’ mean? What percentage of LLM code is allowed, and what percentage isn’t? If someone copies code from ChatGPT and changes the variable names, is that ‘written by’ an LLM or not? Who’s going to check this? A special Codeberg police force? There’s far too much vague wording. They might as well have just written ‘we do not allow projects we personally don't like’ in the ToC.

I understand when projects ban LLM-authored contributions, since it puts a lot of pressure and mental load on the maintainers. But when a git forge dictates what people can host and what they can't host, apart from very broad strokes, like "we don't allow unfree projects" or "we don't allow scam projects", it is concerning.
