    Me: Can we add a little EU flag? Claude: Hold my beer

    Withholding essential, dare I say basic, security features from users as leverage to upsell is such a poor lever to building trust. This is https://docmost.com/

    God, I&amp;#39;m an idiot. TIL that the Strix Halo machine that runs my homelab (Proxmox, Kubernetes and llama-server) has a power button to increase the power limit from 55W to 85W to 120W.

    Man I&amp;#39;m having a lot of fun vibe coding little personal apps on Freepod. This little date picker is the latest in a string of personal slop. https://when.prutser.freepod.eu/skynet-self-awareness

    Freepod runs a nightly upgrader service that updates the curated product catalog for any product that has had a new release. This service is really an agent that scours github, dockerhub, compose files, helm charts, and release notes for new (stable) releases of each product and then opens a PR against Freepod&amp;#39;s catalog files with the necessary Helm chart updates. Doing this manually for a growing catalog is very tedious, but keeping internet facing services up to date is essential. S...

    I wanted a simple service to swap (large) files through anonymous private share links with friends. Instead of vibe coding a little one-off Freepod app, I figured instead I should try to just deploy an existing tool. Pingvin Share X came up on a search. Looked like a simple enough WeTransfer clone. This being mostly a freepod usability test, it needed to deploy there and freepod doesn&amp;#39;t have persistent volumes, only object storage and a db. Pingvin defaults to storing files, includin...

    I have run out of Claude tokens early again this week. Instead, I&amp;#39;m going to try and use the local rig running qwen3.8-27b for what I would otherwise have handed to Opus. Qwen3.8 is slow on Strix Halo, but it is capable. It can&amp;#39;t touch Opus, but it does feel like the first local model genuinely capable of coding in a real codebase.

    Rerunning the experiment with Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 125b on the same 128GB Strix Halo machine yields an even better result: a Rust port with full feature parity in only 4 hours and only 3 compactions. 262k q8_0 context, Vulkan, low reasoning, preserve thinking. https://mas.to/@prutser/117223965735698905

    Omarchy has a bad rep on this platform, but daily driving Linux on the desktop does benefit from an AI agent on standby

    Hahah I noticed Qwen3.8 cursing to itself, but only hidden in its training, not in its output 😂
