  #paragliding I just did a 1h ground handling session and wow, I am so rusty. Back in the day I was ground handling a few times a month. It hurt a bit to catch the mistakes after they had happened. Like, oh, I was too late to react to that. The good news is that I know this is all about muscle memory, so I just need to do it another 100 times. Then I'll be able to do it with my eyes closed :)

  [2/2] it would be very tempting to use AI to generate the app, but #1 I would miss the opportunity to learn something new and #2 I really need to have a good grasp of what is going on behind the scenes, and it would be a lot slower if I had to all of the sudden read through potentially thousands of lines of code to understand what the AI did.

  Can't have the cake and eat it. I have been using opencode for months but since I have also been running local models, I have been testing pi to keep the initial context as short as possible. opencode's about 12k initially after a short "hi" whereas pi is just above 1.5k but the interface feels really bare compared to opencode's. I just tested out oh-my-pi (based on pi) and its initial context length is 22k :(

  Also, with regards to running models locally, wow, what a rabbit hole I have bene in. To summarize it best: for the Strix Halo Qwen3 Coder Next is the best model so far when it comes to consistency and token generation. From my short experience, anything >= 20 t/s is good, so as long as quality is good as well (which this model yields!). But for planning it's still better to use a SOTA model and then have the smaller model execute.

  I don't know why it took me so long to find a proper (nerd) font for my terminal. All this time just sticking to the defaults. But now I spent a good half an hour going through each one of the nerd fonts available in the nerd-fonts package in archlinux to see which one I liked the best (for now, anyways), and stuck with RecMonoSmCasual, on alacritty. Looks nice.

  Exciting announcement of Metroid Prime 4 for the Switch. Pity that it's a platform exclusive, though. With all the power that other platforms (pc, xbox, pa) can yield these days, I can only imagine how much more visually astonishing this game could look. In any case, looking forward to playing it

  With the flying season just around the corner, it's now time to look up again and start studying the clouds to understand better the air around me. I wonder if there are other hang glider and paraglider pilots on Mastodon.

  I was just at a library and stumbled upon the teenage section where there were a bunch of really cool, illustrated books with all sorts of cool stories. If reading was this fun growing up, I probably would have picked it up way sooner. In Colombia we start with really heavy, hard to process stuff like La María, Don Quijote and other "classic novels" that are for sure important to know but are by no means meant to encourage young people to learn how to enjoy reading

  What started as a fun project many years ago converting my gaming rig into a media server, I am now at 3 nodes in my #homelab serving what has become crucial applications in my journey to regain data sovereignty and Degooglification of my life. I can access them via VPN + normal authentication (for those services that support it) but I'm getting to the point where family members will depend on these as well and I VPN is not an option but Cloudflare tunnel is. The fear of getting hacked...

  I just heard about the news of the USA kidnapping the president of Venezuela and his wife. Apparently flown out of the country. Imagine it was Russia doing this. The world would be losing his shit. All I can think of is the movie Team America: World Police. What a fucking joke.

  lmao had an Internet connectivity issue in an isolated network I have for IoT devices and the problem was indeed DNS but not in the way one would expect. But it was DNS, god damn it.

  @kagihq I just came across the website kagimail.com which is kagi branded. Does this domain belong to you or is it a scam / phishing attempt?
