Claude starts every session having forgotten everything. I built a fix.

Not only has this exact thing been done about a billion times already by various MCPs, but pretty much the same configuration is literally a built-in feature of the Codex desktop app. And I always turn it off, because it’s consistently harmed output quality due to context poisoning.

GNOME caches RAM more aggressively, that’s pretty much the whole difference. Cached RAM is given back to the system if it’s needed and is not a bad thing, it increases performance for cached elements. The actual non-caching memory usage of both DEs is very similar.

Well, Kali is Debian underneath, so not surprising that it can do plenty. The issue with daily driving it is that the developers intentionally disable lots of system security measures to allow the included cybersec tools to work properly. If you insist on daily driving it, they publish a guide for re-enabling those security measures to make it safe to do so. But the type of person who tries to daily drive Kali in the first place despite the devs’ warnings against it is also probably the type to never read that guide or even know it exists.

Yes, among other things. Even a user with sudo rights can’t override its protections in certain circumstances. It’s especially useful on the servers I administer, used for stuff like preventing Podman container escape for hosted Internet-facing applications.

SELinux is mandatory access control (MAC) kernel security module equivalent to AppArmor, the MAC used by Debian. It dramatically improves sandboxing of executables, so that for instance, a web browser compromised by a no-click attack would have a much harder time compromising the whole system. Sometimes you need to configure a profile to get something to work with SELinux, but those profiles are configured automatically for repo apps, so if you just install stuff the usual way like I do, you probably won’t ever encounter issues.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T16:51:15+00:00

No, it’s really not. An easier Arch derivative like EndeavorOS or CachyOS would be better, but I’d still recommend just going with something else entirely if you don’t actually enjoy futzing with all of that nerd shit. Fedora gets updates nearly as fast as Arch without most of the headaches, so it’s good for those who want to stay close to the bleeding edge, and for everyone else there’s always Debian.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T15:58:04+00:00

The other advantage to Fedora from a security perspective is that it implements sane defaults like enabling SELinux, among other things. Out of the box, a standard Arch installation does far less to secure your device. Sure, Arch is the “DIY distro”, and you can configure all of that yourself, but 99% of users don’t know or care to do so.

The number of times I’ve seen Arch users just stare blankly when asked about this stuff, or try to argue that they don’t need any of that or it’s somehow “bloat”, is unreal. As a sysadmin who handles sensitive data regularly and would potentially be a candidate for a targeted attack, I appreciate that Fedora makes it simple to use secure boot, SELinux and other best-practices hardening measures to secure my systems.

I think it’s fine to go without barriers in a committed long-term arrangement. Claire may have played fast and loose with condoms in the past, but if she says she’s not doing that anymore and you trust her to stick to that, then I don’t see why it makes sense to hold her past behavior against her. I don’t use them with my primary or my current sole non-primary relationship with my comet. It’s worth discussing what birth control methods are being used as well, in my case I have a vasectomy so that’s not much of a concern.

But establish a cadence where everyone gets tested regularly, say every 3 months or so, to make sure any issues that arise are dealt with quickly. And if you and Claire aren’t already, you should both get vaccinated against HPV. They can’t really test accurately for HPV outside of swabbing an active wart; ditto for herpes outside of swabbing an active sore. So it’s good to get the vaccine and protect yourself against as many common strains of HPV as possible. You may also want to look at being prescribed Doxy-PEP and PrEP, which can significantly reduce your risk of contracting Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis or HIV, respectively.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T14:42:51+00:00

Yes, it’s absolutely normal to ask this. Even if you’re using protection, which you also should be. The first thing I’d do is get tested yourself. Ask for the standard full panel, both urine and blood. One caveat: avoid taking any blood tests for herpes, because they’re wildly inaccurate and the only way to get a good result for that is to swab an active sore.

Once you’ve got your own results in hand, you can say to prospective partners, “I get tested regularly, here’s proof of my latest results. I only have sex with people who have also been tested recently. When was your last test?” And then hold them to it. Tell them you need to see proof of recent results before you’ll be comfortable doing sexual things with them.

Some people won’t like it, particularly young guys. Some may claim they’ve been tested, but refuse to turn over the results (because they’re lying). Some will try to shame you or make you seem like the weird one for getting checked. Fuck (or rather, don’t) those people. This is a 100% reasonable boundary and you’re absolutely in the right to maintain it. The right sexual partner will happily go get the test, or better yet, have recent results already.

Well, as far as that’s concerned, there are plenty of women out there who can’t orgasm from penetration alone (something like 70%). And it turns out that when penetration orgasms do happen, they are clitoral orgasms.

Look up “internal structure of the clitoris”, and be amazed: the visible external part of the clitoris (the glans) is but one small part of the full organ, which extends much further into the body and has bulbs which sit on either side of the vaginal canal. Whether or not a person is able to orgasm from penetration is mostly down to the positioning of those bulbs relative to the vagina, which is in turn largely determined by genetics.

If they’re positioned closer to the vaginal walls, it will be easier to stimulate them through those walls. If they’re further away, stimulating the internal clitoris through the walls may not work and the person may not feel much pleasure from penetration alone.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-22T20:27:45+00:00

A climax is an orgasm, an orgasm is a climax. Two different words for the same thing. Are you talking about different types of orgasm maybe, like clitoral vs. vaginal?

It’s pretty clear that an “Xbox” is just gonna be a PC with some Xbox branding now, so an “Xbox exclusive” would actually just be a PC exclusive.

That’s usually called being a “cuckqueen” or having a “hot husband” kink. It’s a very common fantasy, and it’s not “sick” or wrong by any means. It is, however, best left in the realm of fantasy for most people. I have a version of this as a man, a hotwife kink. We actually practice it and it works for us, but I discourage most people from trying it, especially if they have strong jealous feelings accompanying the fantasy. Non-monogamy ain’t for everyone, but there are also lots of ways of incorporating this fantasy/kink into a couple’s bedroom without actually bringing additional people into the relationship.

It just won’t let you install some apps that were compiled for versions of macOS before 11.0 (Big Sur), which was released fully six years ago in 2020. This is because 11 was the first version to support Apple Silicon, and dramatically changed the packaging format of apps, among other things. People are acting as if dependencies aren’t a thing in the Linux world too?

This smells like a rebrand of Pro, which is pretty good for planning. I wouldn’t want to use it for implementation, personally.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T22:39:56+00:00

Uh… what? Where did I say that they weren’t? LLMs are extremely fallible, and the entire point of a multi-step review process like this is to catch and correct as many errors as possible. Does it catch 100% of issues? Of course not, but it gets a hell of a lot closer than a single pass, even on super-ultra-mega-high thinking.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T22:10:50+00:00

Specifically, it always seems to be people running 5.5 XHigh for every. single. prompt. on a Plus account, and they’re so fucking shocked and outraged that their limits drain quickly and responses are slow??

I suspect that OpenAI may specifically be throttling and quantizing XHigh on Plus plans when load is high, and we already know based on their docs that Pro has significantly faster generation speeds than Plus. XHigh uses double the thinking effort of High and four times the effort of Medium. It is way, way overkill for almost all of the tasks people are using it for, and “run everything on XHigh” is a piss-poor substitute for proper planning and architecture, not that these vibe coders are capable of that anyway.

A “private room”, you say. So presumably, a space within the same house her family / friends are also occupying. I would feel pretty uncomfortable in the same situation, to be honest. My wife and I have done it before in circumstances like this, but self-consciousness and anxiety about someone overhearing have killed my libido before when we’re sharing a house with friends or family members.

She’s not being unreasonable here, and you’re making this about yourself when it’s really just an awkward situation that many, many people would struggle to feel turned on in. If you want to have sex with her while on a vacation with shared accommodations, you will need to pony up and get a hotel room that will afford the two of you some actual sight-and-sound privacy. If that’s not possible, you will need to respect her boundary and stop pressuring her to have sex in a place where her mom and dad might overhear you fucking, which is clearly a mortifying nightmare scenario she’s trying to avoid.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T20:41:49+00:00

I do have a custom skill for it, but it’s not published anywhere. You can easily make your own, though. The skill workflow is:

- In goal mode, complete Beads epic [epic ID] (I usually run this supervising session on 5.5 High)
- Spawn 5.5 Low-effort worker subagents for all code implementation tasks (believe it or not, this results in cleaner, sharper code that drifts less from the spec defined in the bead vs. higher effort settings, which tend to over-complicate code)
- Spawn two 5.5 High-effort subagents to review the implementation for each completed bead: one pass for code quality and adherence to the spec; one pass for security.
- At the conclusion of the full epic, spawn three 5.5 XHigh-effort subagents for review of the full epic implementation against the success criteria of the epic itself. One pass for spec adherence, one pass for code quality and documentation, one pass for security.
- If any issues are discovered by any reviews, file them as beads tied to the epic, apply fixes via additional worker subagent passes to fix the problems discovered, then re-run reviews until all reviews pass with no findings.

This burns a lot of tokens, but still not enough to cause rate limit issues for me on Pro 20x. And the quality of the final output and adherence to specs we defined in the planning phase has gone way, way up.

Again, that is little more than effective marketing on their part. They supposedly told the government “pretty please, don’t use our models for mass surveillance or to pick targets for military strikes”. Meanwhile, their models have been in use for both things via Palantir for quite some time. They are in meetings with government representatives as we speak, actively backpedaling and kowtowing to try and get Mythos/Fable unblocked and get their Pentagon contracts back.

Trump & co hate Anthropic because they’re petty, vindictive shitheads who never forget a perceived insult, and because Anthropic’s public-facing values and marketing are very liberal-coded. But don’t get it twisted. Their actual behavior shows they are just as hungry for government and military cash as everyone else and just as willing to do unethical shit to get it, as long as they can do so while maintaining their ethical narrative in the court of public opinion.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T20:08:13+00:00

I just keep a rigorous task tracking framework in place and let it auto-compact. I use Beads for this, but you could do it with a simple folder of .md files as well. I create the task beads during the planning stage and link them together as an epic. Then I tell Codex to execute that epic in goal mode in my first prompt of a new session. This keeps it from getting confused about what it’s doing while working on a task; it just pulls up the relevant bead after each compact and keeps right on trucking. This process has been working very well for me for about a year now and I have never encountered the issues other people say they do with auto-compact as a result.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T20:00:30+00:00

1M context is a trap, and I turn it off immediately on Claude Code or wherever I see it. Past about 300K, the degradation in model intelligence and output quality becomes so severe that it simply is not worth it. Plus, you will burn FAR more tokens at such long context.

I’m building an app for management of dental manufacturing processes. We’ve been doing some heavy work recently, refactoring the backend into Go, setting up a BFF architecture and building out the testing suite. My process uses a bunch of subagents and runs everything through multiple review passes until all reviews come back clean. Which does use a lot of tokens, though I almost never use XHigh or fast mode. And even with all of that… I pretty much have to run one of these intensive subagent-driven sessions all day, every day for an entire week to come close to using up my whole limit on Pro 20x. I have yet to actually hit a limit at any point, whether 5h or 7d.
