I was trying so hard to get GTP4ALL to work inside of obsidian because it has this localdocs feature, where you can feed it documents and it integrates them into itself. I want the model to be aware of the whole vault, and also generate notes based on the vault contents, constantly updating.

It looks like podman desktop + chatGPG obsidian plugin is the way to go through, I’m playing around with it and it looks promising.

"In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.

Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.

In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance."

This is an awesome ELI5.

Oh god I remember doing that too. Those “programs” were the best. I even mad sure to make the code long, so that even if someone thought to take a look at the code they would have to scroll for a while to find the notes.

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

It’s about how they do it. They achieve this not only by being incredibly efficient through exploiting thier employees, but also by systematically destroying competition, and using thier marketplace to unfairly favor thier own products.

It’s techno-feudalism, here’s a great presentation/interview about it:

Thank you for the info!

Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I’m doing with a smartphone.

Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don’t mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.

Warm salt water. That makes sure that the water is not pulling salt out of your cells. Doing it without salt is painful and dangerous. Also the salt should be without iodine added.

I don’t have any irritation, but I’m a big robust guy, so perhaps milage may vary.

And sure, I would assume that the sinuses are self-cleaning to an extent, but they are also designed to be a filter to keep junk out of our lungs. The way I see it, I’m just cleaning the filter out before I go to bed.

Neti Pots. I clean our my sinuses every night before bed, and I rarely get sick. Of course it’s not a miracle cure, but it’s great at preventing a viral infection before it starts.

I care about privacy for the same reason you do. Actually I don’t care about my personal privacy bacause I’ve always been careful to not share too much with big tech companies, but I refuse to use products from amazon, meta, alphabet, apple, or microsoft (outside of work hardware/software) because of how they abuse their position of power over the poor.

Game: Baldur’s Gate

Book: Dune

TV: Fraggle Rock

Movie: Fight Club

That’s a valid criticism.

On the other side: Pay for a year at once and get 3600 searches/year. The rollover also doesn’t happen, but the effect is drastically reduced. Also get a discount overall.

I’m not saying that kagi is perfect, but fuck google sideways. Eat the rich. Pay for the product or you are the product.

For example, bazzite. I basically skipped the gamecube for various boring reasons, so I’m excited to revisit that era, maybe find some nice games to play with my kids.

Haha, I wouldn’t expect anything less. But I don’t need to install the plugin…well…maybe I’ll just try it out for a few…danmit.

How about obsidian.md? It’s based on markdown, so edit mode has lots of keybindings, and there are all sorts of javascript plugins to add functionality.

In addition to rhe other advice, I’d add what helped me the most: install arch from scratch.

Use an older PC you have lying around, or just a VM. Use the installation guide on the arch wiki (or a video on feetube if you prefer to listen to a human explain stuff) and just learn as you go.

Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.

Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real “duct-tape” part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept “updating” the game and breaking my solution.

This certainly isn’t of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.

Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:

1. download the game via steam.
2. switch it to use proton
3. switch it back to linux version
4. use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn’t touch the game anymore and screw it up.
5. add the exicutable to PATH
6. start the game via terminal

If any one of those step was left out, it didn’t work. I’m no linux expert, so I didn’t have the skills to actuality find the real problem.
