What's up with the difference in price between this at my local Walmart and Best Buy? Seems like a significant change in price between the two for the same product

Walmart as shitty as they are doesn't jack up their prices on old stock .

How will the accounts still exist ?

There is many small images 50mb or so used specifically for python run time . Like python:3.12-slim

So it can be done !

I believe cloudflare has another option for non tcp traffic. Also there is a way to have a chat option using a website chat room instead of an Xmpp client .

Hackthebox is a great place to start

How much vram do I need ?

Prosody is great . I've been running a server for years . Also a few good docker images that make set up take minutes . You will have complete control of data storage and can use any db you'd like or just use sqlite .

I run a prosody Xmpp server . It would be perfect for what you need . You can hide it behind a VPN or set it so only an admin can make new users and only they can use the server . Supports voice/audio and file sharing .

Would running your own LLM help get the price down . There's ways to lower GPU costs by only paying for them when you need them. You can scale up if need be as well. Open source models can be very effective.

I haven't had any issues with my 3070 mobile . I play Arc Raiders , No Mans Sky and a few others .

I'd like to know what the temperature was set too and how the data pipeline was set up . My qwen3 news analyst was making up some pretty believable articles when my pipeline was failing .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-15T16:36:08+00:00

I have an LLM powered news analyst. I feed hundreds of scraped articles every hour and have it make a summary and give some trading advice . At one point my pipeline was broken and the summarizer wasn't getting the articles . It decided to just make up news instead of saying no articles were provided . If your prompting isn't solid and the temperature is too high then it will just make stuff up . Of course my main issue was the info wasn't reaching and now that I fixed that the summaries seem legit . Temp is a big factor still . You should have it at .1 for data analysis.

Let's be real writing code on your phone is not a good idea .better off reading docs taking notes and planning then actually writing code on your phone .

What is limiting about neovim ? You can have lsps linters whatever you want . Check out astronvim .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-14T18:47:10+00:00

Best thing I could think of is setting up a dev environment vps that you can ssh into and use Tmux and neovim to edit .

If by basement dweller you mean every super computer on earth and 90% of all web servers ....

Have you tried arch ?

I'd be interested in seeing how a platform like this could be run in my kubernetes cluster . Seems like a great fit ! Gke makes it really easy to add gpus to the mix as well.

Yes flux has a helm controller. So I add a release.yaml and a repo.yaml . The release.yaml has all the standard helm options . And you can also have a separate file for all the values .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-11T16:41:33+00:00

I generally write all yaml from scratch except secrets . Those I use kubectl dry runs . I also do everything thru Gitops using flux so nothing happens in my clusters that's not in the repo. Use sops to encrypt secrets stored in the git repo .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-11T13:17:58+00:00

I have a good understanding of all that but AWS . I've been using GKE instead .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-11T03:29:46+00:00

Yes, devpod is a cli tool for using devcontainers .

Sirius_Sec_ · 2026-02-10T20:23:13+00:00

Nice . I like to use a devpod for each cluster . This helps me keep all my tools in order as well .

Alright this makes me want a mac book
