It's a two and five year old. My sister's kids. I take care of them two to three times a year. We are one week into a 2 week stint

I fortunately picked that one up. What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom or step out of the room for another reason?

I actually got one of my nieces to help me spackle this morning, but I'll be more conscientious of that in the future. Thanks

I really like this. I'll keep it in my back pocket

The Terminal Question in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My suggestion is you focus more on learning to use the terminal than figuring out which one to use. Switching terminals is like a micro version of distro hopping without the benefits.

I use ollama for llms, but being a terminal tool, you need to be comfortable using the terminal.

To answer your original question, I use alacritty. Minimal bells and whistles. Just a terminal.

Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't have a calculation to back it up, but I'm inclined to believe store bought will always have a cheaper production cost. Your can of beans wasn't made by one person per one can of beans at a time. It is done in a factory producing millions of cans. That kind of industrial process will always be cheaper. It's designed to be that way. Beans can be bought wholesale below the cost available to you. And with that operation at scale it will undoubtedly be more energy efficient per can of beans. The consumer cost is something else. You will save money buying the raw ingredients and making your own beans rather than buying canned.

How much do you tip at a restaurant? (lemmy.ml)
 

To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90's, the "minimum acceptable" tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I've heard these days it's not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

Can you self-host AI at parity with chatgpt? (lemmy.ml)
 

My office computer has a Ryzen 7 5700, RX 580x, and 32gb of ram. Running ollama with deepseekv2 or llama3 is much slower than chatgpt in the browser. Same with my newer, more powerful home computer.

What kind of hardware do you need to run with comparable responsiveness to chatgpt? How much does it cost? Presuming such hardware is commercial, where do you find it?

WTF is going on with TikTok? (lemmy.ml)

The sequence of events as far as I can recall:

  • Trump promised to ban TikTok
  • TikTok was slated to be "banned" in the twilight of Biden's term
  • Trump says he'd give it 90 days to make a decision
  • Biden decides not to ban it, handing it off to Trump
  • TikTok goes dark
  • It returns, but if you search for something anti-Trump in the United States, you can't find it
  • Using a VPN will give you that content
  • Various news outlets are now calling it Trump's "Propaganda Arm"

What the fuck is going on? From a political or technological standpoint.

Do you broadcast your neurodivergence? (lemmy.ml)
 

I keep the details of my idiosyncrasies to myself. Folks with ADHD often tell others explicitly.

To my kindred 'special' people, do you tell others specifically what makes you different, or do you keep it to yourself? Why?

How can we avoid browser fingerprinting? (lemmy.ml)
 

Compare to cookies. I use two extensions. The first accepts all cookies to bypass cookie banners. The second deletes all non white listed cookies on closing the page. This works well for me since I seldom have more than 20 pages open, and I constantly close them.

Is there a way to avoid browser fingerprinting like this at all (with potential qol benefits) or am I extra screwed because I do things like this in addition to running Linux on a computer I built?
