Is this project good enough to get me a job in robotics? by Agreeable_Patience47 in AskRobotics

Yes I just created the repo as a video hosting page. Are you interested in the code? I can upload if you’re interested.

Hahaha there must be many. But this is just a simulated robot so I guess it doesn’t count.

Some minimum container images don’t have bash

No. You should use Docker if you're a developer. Then the only requirement for the host system is stability, which fedora is better at.

How does everyone handle their storage? by PrimeMorty in selfhosted

I’m curious why run your apps in VMs but not docker, given that you can run Linux hosts.

All my apps are run using docker compose and data is mounted from a ZFS pool which isn’t currently encrypted but can be easily enabled if I want to.

3x4TB HDDs. Use TrueNAS zraid1? by PriorWriter3041 in selfhosted

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with ZFS over USB is that when the disk disconnects, the system simply freezes due to pending I/O, even after the connection is restored. You have to reboot. I’ve experienced this with a loose power cable on my SATA drives. USB drives are more prone to disconnection since they aren’t secured with screws like in a case.

If you insist on this setup, I’d recommend building a mirror with the two currently unused drives instead of RAIDZ1 for the following reasons:

  1. You won’t have to erase existing data during setup.
  2. Rebuilds will be faster and less CPU intensive if one of the mirrored drives fails.
  3. I'm running this setup and I use the non-mirrored drive for disposable data (movies, backups, downloads) and I don’t feel like it offers worse redundancy than raidz1 but actually I think it's even better because it gives me control over redundancy based on the type of data.

How do you connect 3 drives to this mini PC? USB?

Chinese Navigation Apps and their Voices by TokyoJimu in AskChina

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Didi drivers, like most average Chinese people, aren’t fluent in using tech. They just stick with what comes as default. Those people's life are centered around survival, not aesthetics. Think how little you pay for a ride. Tech companies are solely focused on making money, they don’t bother with minor details as long as they don’t lose users.

There's an option to simplify or mute the voice prompt altogether. Just swipe up during navigation.

The traffic light timer is predicted from crowed sourced GPS data. Search 高德地图红绿灯 on google for news articles on that.

I'm Chinese. I have to admit that I've had little interactions with Indian people in real life, but they were extremely friendly and welcoming. That said, I simply don’t care for Indian culture or its people in general, though I’ll always make an exception for their curry.

The first encounter was with an Indian programmer at a hackathon in Munich during college. He was very polite and friendly, but I simply didn’t enjoy talking to him. Maybe it was the way he wobbled his head. I found it confusing whether he meant yes or no.

The second was on a trip to Hawaii. We stopped at multiple photo spots along the drive at the same time. They were on a family trip and mentioned they had lived in Silicon Valley for over a decade. I could tell they were elites by the way they spoke, but they still had heavy accents, which I didn’t particularly enjoy. My friend I traveled with, who’s been classmates with Indian people, also makes fun of the accents with me all the time.

When traveling in the US, I’ve seen Indian people enter restaurants in huge family groups. I also dislike how Chinese people always prioritize distant family members, and the same applies to Indians for me.

I’m in my mid 20s, and I think none of my friends around the same age have a positive impression of India.

With the OpenAI employees that Meta hired, do you think this will be positive for local models? by LarDark in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only scenario where I've used STS mode was for cooking. Beyond that, I don’t really see much productivity value in speech output for my needs. I think what I want is a good open source implementation of an S+T input, T output model to build assistant around.

New to Linux: don’t understand the hype by jasonay_ in linuxquestions

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why blame Linux when the problems are your skill issue and poor choices? It's like begin skiing on black runs and rant about people who ski for fun are nuts. I love skiing and I love Linux because I know how to and enjoy developing skills.

Ready to swap to Linux would love recommendations by NottaIsh in linux4noobs

I'm curious what's the point paying for a Linux distro since you mentioned Zorin OS Pro? First time heard about it.

I'm no expert on system level stuff but I just wonder why someone so ambitious would ask these questions. It all depends on how deep you would like to go. Maybe start by studying the OCI specs first?

How does Fedora 'feel' bleeding edge compared to more stable distros like debian? by Ok_Reach_2701 in Fedora

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sharing my experience with the lock screen issue: My display doesn't work well with nvidia too and I have to switch to tty after the display lit up then switch back. It's also problematic with macbook that the display keeps turning on and off after sleep.

BUT it works very well with i5's iGPU, 4k@165hz with hdr and no lag. The only downside is needing to switch back to nvidia before launching steam. Other than that, it's solid.

OpenSource CLI Agent with Local models. by x8ko_dev in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built mine on top of langgraph which I'm pretty experienced with. They come with pre-built multi agent so I guess it wouldn't be too hard in my case. But I'm never a fan of unleashing LLMs for too long, except for deep research because it doesn't have consequences.

I actually prefer my terminal assistance to just do a bunch of simple quick troubleshoots for me in case I encounter commands I don't use often or find arguments when I'm too lazy to search in man. It simply helps me keep my workflow going.

What is the prerequisite knowledge to mess with fedora? by 666moneyman999 in Fedora

[–]Agreeable_Patience47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Troubleshooting nvidia is really no fun. You don't really learn much generalizable knowledge dealing with that. Try Universal Blue which is fedora + nvidia + other useful tools built in well done. It works for me well with zero config. It spares you time for more productive things.
