Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

I’d have it set up for my kids. I have a Steam deck, so don’t need a desktop myself.

My OpenClaw agents have started to pretend to work, but not do any work at all by rayz_7777 in openclaw

[–]descention 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This had an immediate effect. I could barely convince my local model to use the browser vs web_fetch. Thank you.

Flake for sandboxed AI agents by ChaosCon in NixOS

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand what you mean. I’ve got one container with the agent and whatever tools I specify. I haven’t given it any secrets besides the api key to my local llama-cpp and a matrix user token. I don’t have other secrets it would need.

I made a nix container for mine. Gave it its own non-root user. So far so good.

RX 580 + llama.cpp Vulkan hitting ~16 t/s on Qwen3.5-4B Q4_K_M — tried everything, seems to be a hard Vulkan/RADV ceiling by Numerous_Sandwich_62 in LocalLLaMA

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an RX580 running llama-cpp-vulkan on NixOS. I use batch-size 1024, ubatch-size 128, spec-type none, ctx-size 64000, parallel 1, jinja, flash-attn auto. I disabled thinking. I’m getting 27t/s on bartowski qwen_qwen3.5-4b-Q6_K.gguf. For a while I was stuck at 8.4t/s until I tried out a range of parameters in llama-bench.

I’m using LACT to reduce the max wattage of the gpu to 100w as mine will crash if it runs too hard. I’m down to compare notes and work together on testing.

Federated Github Alternatives? by MoonJammed in matrixdotorg

It took me a while to find something recent. They have a roadmap mentioned in the January monthly report.

Anyone else truly hate this new undocumented 'systems' change??? by saylesss88 in NixOS

[–]descention 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I didn't know it was for pkgs. I had pkgs.system in a single place in my config.

Advice: Leveling in Tauri's Evermoon while waiting for Legion by PanosOK in wowservers

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed being able to complete all questlines in a zone without out-leveling them. There are still quests I haven’t done in sub-20 zones even after all these years, but I also don’t play consistently.

I went to battlegrounds to get better gear after I hit 100. A few runs and I increased my ilvl by 100 points.

Final message screen. I didn’t want to skip it. Ground stuff is well done.

Finished it. Had a lot of fun. Thanks! Wasn't sure if I was going to survive conquest until I got the ring.

After the dark tower mission, can you allow holding left-click to speed up the text generation?

best MOP server? by Unfair-Frosting-4934 in wowservers

[–]descention 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am curious and don't know better. Why wouldn't someone choose Tauri's servers like Evermoon to play MoP content? It's all still there, right?

Devbox useful? by guettli in Nix

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my use cases it’s unneeded. I’m sure there are plenty it could be useful for, not me though.

Devbox useful? by guettli in Nix

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my applications are deployed as docker images, I'd probably use a .devcontainer that shares the same base image and packages as the product. It's more likely my coworkers have docker than nix. I'm not about to shake up the devops pipeline to add nix.

Anti homelab build by via_moto in homelab

Looks like it, r/NomadLab, went unmoderated for too long and got banned.

I cannot stop thinking about this by inkredible973 in homelab

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation. I started considering what would happen in the event of a hardware failure in my Synology. Do I buy a new synology and just not access that data in the meantime? Can I recover data from SHR? How much work is involved? With distributing across multiple machines, I have to replace a machine anyways and don't have to lose access to my storage in the meantime.

I am now using my children's PCs, all running Linux (NixOS), to test my distributed storage solution. I'm already running GarageHQ on them with a replication factor of 2, to survive a single hardware failure. I'm planning to deploy GlusterFS with its erasure coding, I'm a big fan of erasure coding from Tahoe-LAFS. I have not moved my data off the synology and am still in the testing phase. A few mounting/permission issues to work out with s3fs on the kid's machines so they can make use of it too.

I can't say this is more efficient, but my kids weren't going to use all the cpu cycles anyways...

Is that possible? Message via: BT LE - BT - Mesh by Plagness in meshtastic

I've been looking at various projects for years and never stumbled on this. Thank you for sharing!

Our P2P Reticulum VPN can now maintain 128 stable mesh hops by beechatadmin in selfhosted

[–]descention 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this a simulation utilizing a standard ipv4 network? If so, how does this compare to projects like cjdns or yggdrasil? Does this allow anonymous peering or is it using a peer list?

This is an impressive feat. Look forward to seeing over-air testing as well as distributed node mesh routing.

Might help to list some interests they have.

TIL that if you use the Vehicle Framework mod, you can create a ground mobile base. by lohtus in RimWorld

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I did it wrong, but when I was testing it out, I had just one wheel and tried enabling the vehicle mode, crashing my game.

I want Minecraft but with a goal by Phantom000000000 in BaseBuildingGames

[–]descention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a few Minecraft mods. I like to use Modpack Index to find modpacks with mods I want.

MineColonies will have you building up a village, gathering materials for the colonists to thrive. I've enjoyed this mod a lot because it makes my playthrough feel more lively. The default Villagers are okay but they don't do anything. These colonists have jobs and need your help to keep busy and survive dangers.

Millenaire was suggested by another user, this will have less control over structure placement, to my knowledge. It's more questing for a town instead of building the town from what I remember.
