@lvk TBH for static publishing I've been using https://distributed.press but I really want to get around to making a spec for pinning. 😅
There's nothing I can do for this person. But the enormity of it. They've cobbled up a machine out of nothing but trash and their own tenacity, and they want to help us build Firefox? There's lots of ways to do that, but building it, compiling it, that can't happen. Not on this machine.
There's always been a financial barrier to participation in open source. Always. And we have to make it as low as we possibly can.
But a _wealth_ minimum bar, to contributing?
That's vile. It's disgusting.
@tahnok sweeeet. what do you power with it? Also which batteries do you load it with?
changed my speech based computer control to buffer until I say "execute" and it's been a lot nicer to use as a result. Before I would constantly interrupt the inference if I took too long of a pause and caused cache misses and general confusion. The STT is still a bit shit and misses the start of sentences sometimes. 😅
@brandon I've been eyeing one of these removable cell packs. Having a whole bunch of cells to swap in and out would feel so satisfying. I don't think I've seen any with a high enough output/capacity yet though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009572944530.html
@brandon Do you have an uninterrupted power supply? My issue is that every time I plug something in it power cycles. 🥶
I was thinking of adding some images but I think I'll focus on text descriptions instead so blind readers get the picture and sighted folks can just click through on the links to the product pages.
Software quality would improve greatly if developers were forced to work on a device with a 10 year old CPU, 25G of storage, and 2GB of ram. The amount of resources necessary to do the simplest of operations is just bonkers. Not everyone has infinite disc space, and a never ending supply of RAM.
FFS.
🌍 WeSense v1.0.0-alpha.1 shipped.

We invented the internet specifically to be resilient through decentralisation, then spent the last twenty years cramming the whole thing into three cloud providers and calling it "progress."
Ukraine just reminded us in real-time why single points of failure are a bad idea, yet somehow, we’ll still act shocked the next time one outage takes down half the planet.
This is a subtoot about Microsoft.
Edit: Changed "survive a nuclear war" to "be resilient"
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
