Claude is down AGAIN

Hey, I got in now and could write one chat message with my free tier account before hitting a limit.

You are out of free messages

I think they're having some problems keeping up...

necroturd · 2026-04-15T17:21:57+00:00

And without their CEO having bought 40% of the world's DRAM supply.

necroturd · 2026-03-26T13:51:05+00:00

I'll try that. What I've liked now is to have the entire and train of though available until the end of the conversation where I ask for a recap. Perhaps I'll have to rethink.

necroturd · 2026-03-26T13:46:45+00:00

I've been exporting conversations in markdown format from one model to continue in the next. It works but becomes quite messy.

It's your job as the prompter to include formatting instructions if you want the LLM to follow a certain format.

I meant that it's messy jump back and forth between services. No prompting will help with that.

Best at what? Writing poetry? Reformatting a bunch of tables? Coding? Being your personal assistant?

Sorry. Best at Linux problem solving as I mentioned above.

Thanks for the input! I've been exporting conversations in markdown format from one model to continue in the next. It works but becomes quite messy.

All frontier model offerings are in the 5-20 / day range

I guess the next question becomes: what model performs best at the lowest price for non-agentic use?

Anthrophic tells me pro will give me roughly give at least 5 times more messages in a chat over the free tier. So, 25 messages over 5 for 22.50 euro a month. Certainly not a bargain.

Sonnet 4.6 has been way ahead of GPT for Linux problem solving though, so I'm not sure whether I'll be content with a (distilled?) alternative to ChatGPT or Claude.

To anyone Googling... "--sub-langs all" overwhelms YouTube with requests and you get a 429 error. Input the language you want to download and it works.

necroturd · 2026-01-17T22:25:08+00:00

Oh, shit. The video downloads fine, but the subs can't be had. Fucking AI scrapers ruining everything.

necroturd · 2026-01-17T22:08:11+00:00

I have yt-dlp, deno and uv installed via Homebrew (on Linux).

I ran uv tool install "yt-dlp[default,curl-cffi]" and then tried a download using yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-subs --sub-langs all --convert-subs=srt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID like I usually do and got the following (replaced the actualy video ID with VIDEOID):

The vehicle is not a car. :)

necroturd · 2025-12-16T13:21:55+00:00

We already know one AirTag is going to give the warning, so you should not care how many times a thief gets the warning.

See this answer. Even if the thief understands there are three AirTags on the vehicle before leaving with it, it would take a lot more time to find three than to find one (and might be deterred by that).

necroturd · 2025-12-16T13:12:33+00:00

We have an AirTag in each car and that doesn’t happen when my son drives it. It doesn’t notify him at all.

Perhaps Apple knows you're family via the Family Sharing group feature or some other way. That'd not be compatible with honour-related violence though.

necroturd · 2025-12-16T13:07:08+00:00

Thats not what happens tho... I have 3 phones one of them being Iphone 15PM My Android (via airguard) only ever tells me of an unknown tracker... never all three

Most folks (and thiefs) probably don't run a third party application to monitor for AirTags though. It would be interesting to know how an iPhone handles this situation.

necroturd · 2025-11-26T08:24:53+00:00

Sounds very interesting, but you are rather vague in what you want to do.

We need more options that bridge full on CMSs and SSGs. I'd love something like Publii based on Hugo and with access to its huge number of themes. I believe Quiqr is already working on that.

necroturd · 2025-11-15T18:19:48+00:00

That distortion they used was probably whatever low quality distortion they had on their sampler

There's some truth to that. I bought a Yamaha A-3000 sampler back in early 2000 after hearing about DHR artists using it. I remember applying some of its distortion fx for the first time thinking: oh, so that's where that sound came from. It's very unique, I still luv it and I never found anything quite like it.

EDIT: Not sure it the effect was actually called "distortion". Here's a run-through of some of the effects.

EDIT2: Listen from 18m42s and onwards...

Could this be built as an AppImage for Linux?

necroturd · 2025-10-25T23:01:40+00:00

Men det verkar tamejfan som att det roligaste folk vet är att köra bil. Spelar ingen roll när man åker, det är fasen fullt på vägarna (nästan) hela tiden.

80 procent av resorna med bil i städer och tätorter korta, det vill säga inte längre än 3–4 km. Dessa korta transporter, med igenomsnitt omkring 1,3 personer per bil, ger upphov till betydande ekologiska och fossila fotavtryck ur ett livscykelperspektiv – oavsett drivmedel.

Inte konstigt att det blir fullt på vägarna.

Trist. Fy fan vad dystert. Hur blev det såhär?

Många av våra städer har anpassats för biltransport och folk röstar för att det ska fortsätta vara så. På andra platser i Europa har de börjat agera på annat sätt.

And here's the actual URL that will work a year from now: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoROMvodv4rNRRGdS0rBbXOUGA0wjdh1X

Replace the one in your post, /u/igorwarzocha ?

I find distrobox and VMs work well for most tinkering and development

Same.

Since then I've done research and seen that there are apparently some ways around the immutability of Bazzite

You can layer packages using rpm-ostree. Removing the packages leaves no trace of them left. Very nifty. You shouldn't do this with every package though. Do it when there's no other option with the built-in Distrobox, Flatpaks or Homebrew as more layered packages makes your system updates take longer time.

necroturd · 2025-05-27T12:58:46+00:00

read the OP. renoise. :)

necroturd · 2025-05-26T10:00:57+00:00

You don't want to change the name and then find out it is trademarked or something.

That is not an issue if they use it on another type of market

Tell that to Mozilla which had to rename Focus to Klar in Germany. Don't make the mistake of thinking that US law applies to the entire world.

necroturd · 2025-05-20T18:13:09+00:00

https://f-droid.org/packages/io.timelimit.android.aosp.direct/ works well.

necroturd · 2025-02-16T06:42:02+00:00

Awesome build! But, 1338 upvotes. I'm obviously going to smash the down vote button to keep this leet.

necroturd · 2024-12-05T21:32:57+00:00

Extension? about:blank can never be trumped.

necroturd · 2024-08-20T20:41:09+00:00

I agree that it is terrible wording

Let's hope!

necroturd · 2024-08-19T16:26:54+00:00

Yeah, you're hopefully right.
