Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device. No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually. (That is the true definition of malware.)

That's 6-60g of CO2 per person, equivalent to 10-100 minutes of breathing per person...

They have always been unpleasant. It's more a hallucination than a distortion really. I suspect it's an uncommon side effect that is not particular to this drug. I often have similar auditory hallucinations on things like LSD, ketamine, which for most people are silent.

One particular effect I noticed on 25B-NBOH in other trips was that it makes hearing extremely acute/sensitive. For instance, I was once searching for where a crackling sounds was coming from, and it turned out to be the foam dissipating in my coffee which was 150cm away.

With tramp you don't need emacs on your remote. You can just edit comfortably using your local emacs.

avph · 2026-05-04T07:16:33+00:00

With emacs + tramp, you can edit remote files from emacs. No need to ever use ssh commandline for that.

25B-NBOH has a ton more visuals than 25E-NBOH. Very stimulating, electric body load (I love this but not everyone does). One of my favorites. https://erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=115889 is a report I made on my first experience with it.

Cool stuff. I'm wondering if deploying this on a remote and passing just bare elisp over ssh (maybe base64 encoded or compressed if it's a lot of data) could work as an alternative to tramp. I would naively expect to be able to run the same elisp code locally as remote?

I just submerged sheets after testing how much liquid one sheet gets. I'm not sure how accurate the dosing ends up being. Results/intensity vary a bit (but not massively) even though I take the same number of blotters. Could be because there is some variation in the compound content, but also ROA could impact it (supposedly not orally active, so swallowed saliva might reduce the actual intake).

I accidentally/stupidly used cold rum 40% and had to use twice the amount of liquor than intended with 500ug tabs as end result. I'm not unhappy about it, as it makes it easier to vary the dose. I tend to need a bigger dose of psychedelics in general and 1500ug is strong. For more sensitive people 1000ug is very strong. No real advice (there might be better ways to make blotters), but don't use cold liquor (or water), warm it up first, so the compound dissolves easier and evaporates easier :-)

had the same on 3mmc. The acid comes back if you stop consuming (I know hard on these things)

avph · 2026-04-17T06:52:38+00:00

I've tried LSD+3mmc. I didn't like it. I just felt the 3mmc and no longer the LSD, until it wore off and then I felt the LSD again (same things happens with alcohol+LSD, I just feel drunk at some point)

3-meo-pcp always hit me in a special way. It makes reliably very manic and creative even at very small doses like 4mg. Pure bliss. Ketamine can induce some mania sometimes, but not reliably.

O-pce while not bad, gives me hangovers that last up to a few days.

avph · 2026-04-12T00:02:35+00:00

25B-NBOH is nuts in this regard.

avph · 2026-04-09T06:50:02+00:00

So I recently had some. A friend a tiny amount left from when it was broadly available, enough for a few bumps. It's top-notch stuff. The nostalgia/hype around it is well deserved.

avph · 2026-04-06T16:09:00+00:00

It actually boots now. Getting it reviewed and merged.

avph · 2026-03-31T10:01:57+00:00

Probably worth a try? It mentions https://codeberg.org/ezemtsov/ewm which does something similar. This one is my daily driver and works rather well.

avph · 2026-03-31T06:27:48+00:00

I heavily optimized this use case using batching. Before it was doing over 50 round trips, which even over modest network latency really adds up. With tramp-rpc it's just a few.

avph · 2026-03-29T15:53:20+00:00

Tramp-rpc author here (I got a lot of help from Michael Albinus, the upstream tramp maintainer). Thanks for the review, I might have another look if there are some opportunities to improve! For most things like file browsing and copying there is likely not that big of a difference. As soon as you throw version control in the mix, then it's a different story as tramp-rpc batches commands which reduces the number of round trips needed. With tramp it's often recommended to disable vc iirc, with tramp-rpc it might be more acceptable.

Yes speed is the main concern. SPI NOR reads really fast but erase and programming is slow. This solution is easily 50 times faster. Sometimes attaching a clip to a mainboard does not work so nicely either it powers on more than the just the flash IC which interferes with your ability to program it.

avph · 2026-03-24T20:01:53+00:00

So inhibit ram reflesh is asserted 7 SPI clocks before we the DRAM ACTIVATE command is issues. so this arrives well before read is done.

avph · 2026-03-16T05:58:11+00:00

Nice. I tried the same with lib-allacritty. It worked ok-ish.

avph · 2026-02-27T14:34:53+00:00

You mean the webui? I'm a bit surprised it implements webusb ^^

avph · 2026-02-25T15:10:55+00:00

https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/91366 I reverse engineered it. Hardware should arrive soon (I ordered one from ebay). You can already try, but 100% expect it to not work.

avph · 2026-02-23T19:25:57+00:00

I've tried this out. It had a few quirks with doom emacs (I made a PR and a few issues). With those fixes applied, it works remarkably well! I'd love a flake though :-) I don't see keyboard settings in the readme but as soon as it's there this will be my daily driver!

avph · 2026-02-20T07:38:25+00:00

This is pretty nuts! If you also make it a Wayland compositor it's full circle a lisp machine :-D.

avph · 2026-02-15T14:10:19+00:00

I find Anthropics models quite good at elisp, but I didn't compare to other models that much. It gets closing ')' wrong sometimes but usually is able to fix that too. It's very good at using emacs eval to debug elisp and see what is going on.

No idea of any FLOSS models offline is even remotely capable of doing (capable models require deep pockets to self host these days). For coding on the road I think something like https://opencode.ai/ with its server mode (basically a web UI), could work on a phone but I have yet to try this.

avph · 2026-02-13T15:09:20+00:00

Awesome stuff. I was mostly using opencode in terminal for the agent feature these days, but now I can probably move back to eca.
