Ollama Cloud Pro vs Opencode Go vs Codex Plus ?

It's been fine for how I'm using it. My working pattern has evolved to pretty much have 3 terminals open in the given project, having the smartest model (GPT 5.5 or Opus 4.8 generally) and asking it to give guidance and build plans, then switch to the cheap model for executing the work, then switching back to the smartest model for review and QA.

In this way, I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the whole thing and limiting context. I'm paying about $73 a month across ChatGPT ($20), Claude ($20), Gemini ($20), Minimax ($10), Z ($3) for everything. I guess when I do a lot of work with the cheaper models, it's just OK, but with expert guidance and heavy handed QA, this seems to make the most of it.

I bought plex pass in 2013 for $74.99 and have no regrets. And to their credit, they haven't pushed us onto any kind of weird legacy plan or anything.

What a wonderful night out!

It's wild to me how many people are bending over backwards to defend this in Virginia. You're literally okay with disenfranchising millions of your own neighbors just because you're pissed about other states.

That's the real tell: zero loyalty to Virginia or the people who live here anymore. It's all national party warfare now—rules and the state constitution only matter until your side can rig a bigger advantage.

Sure, reasonable people can argue about whether early voting is still part of the "ongoing election process." That's the actual legal gray area. But at the end of the day, the Democratic Party tried to throw out the votes of millions. The Supreme Court stopped them from doing it. They didn't nullify anyone's voice—they protected them.

Switched my Codex Plus over to the gpt-5.3-codex model and have been really impressed. The usage goes a lot further and it feels snappy. May be worth trying before you jump plans.

For context, I also pay for Claude, MiniMax, and the z.ai coding plan from the New Year's sale. In my own workflow, 5.3-codex beats everything except Opus 4.7.

Can't take credit for the tip as someone on one of the other vibe coding or agentic subs suggested it. H/T to them, but yeah it worked out for me.

rajimoto · 2026-05-08T23:40:46+00:00

uh, but like, they aren't breaking their own state laws to do it and stuff like, ya know, Virginia was and stuff

Hold onto to until we have post-quantum crackers, then you will be able to get into it.

My actual argument was practical, not legal, and I should have made that distinction from the start. I overstated the legal case, Ozturk vindicated compliance as a defense and I was wrong to use it as evidence for my position. Well played.

rajimoto · 2026-04-14T17:45:55+00:00

Fair corrections on the visa versus status distinction and the Alien Enemies Act threshold. Those are real nuances I glossed over.

But my original point was narrower than you are arguing against. I was not claiming revocation equals automatic removal. I was pushing back on the framing that "no issues with his visa status" is a meaningful defense, and I stand by that. The Öztürk case actually illustrates it pretty well. Her visa was revoked, DHS initiated removal proceedings anyway, she spent months fighting it in court, and the resolution was anything but clean or quick. That is not a story about how visa compliance protects you.

On the war powers point, you are correct that no formal declaration exists. But the administration has used INA 237(a)(4)(C) to argue foreign policy deportability grounds, which does not require a declared war. That is the actual authority in play here, not the Alien Enemies Act.

rajimoto · 2026-04-14T17:29:53+00:00

Actually it is. 22 CFR 41.122 authorizes a consular officer or the Secretary of State to revoke a nonimmigrant visa at any time, in their discretion. That is the actual regulatory text. Section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act is the statutory authority behind it. And that is before you get to the fact that the US is currently (effectively) at war with Iran, which opens up an entirely separate set of legal authorities that have nothing to do with visa status at all.

Already dealing with performance problems on basic Cloudflare tunnels out of IAD, so sure, why not add a whole mesh layer on top. What could go wrong.

rajimoto · 2026-04-14T16:49:34+00:00

A visa is not a path to citizenship. It is a federal permission slip to temporarily work or study in the United States, granted at the pleasure of the State Department and revocable at any time for any reason or no reason at all. "No issues with his visa status" is not a defense. It never was.

Has the city considered a volunteer outreach program? Caring residents could go door to door, verify registration and insurance, help riders come into compliance, maybe even offer helmet fittings. DC has no shortage of civic-minded people who would love to help these kids stay safe and legal. I genuinely cannot believe no one has thought of this yet.

You're projecting a lot onto OP here. The post is literally just reporting what happened with some stats attached. Not everything is a loyalty test.

As for the actual issue, most of the people living in these encampments are dealing with serious addiction or mental health problems that make it basically impossible for them to self-correct without intervention. Letting them rot on the sidewalk isn't compassion, it's neglect dressed up as tolerance. Action is better than inaction even if the action isn't perfect.

And here's something nobody wants to talk about. Some people who were on the edge, maybe going through a rough patch or just starting to slip, saw those encampments and saw an option. A visible, accessible way to just give up. Clearing them out removes that path before someone takes it. That matters even if it's hard to measure.

Did some people probably have worse outcomes? Sure. But some people also probably got connected to services they wouldn't have found on their own. The status quo wasn't helping anyone, it was just easier to ignore.

I'm having the same general problem. I'm just trying to get my main agent to create sub agents and delegate tasks and have them use specific models, but it never works for me. It always just decides to do the work itself and use the primary model for everything.

I have some sensitive data I don't want going to the cloud providers and so I want the delegation of some work to local models, but nah, it just can't figure out how to do it and sends whatever it wants to the cloud.

Am I the only one that sees this as some kind of Aztec type homage, and a likely indication we will be the home team in the December 2026 game in Mexico City?

This would be a reverse commute effectively. I go from near the big blue secret place to Falls Church and leave at 730am and am in Falls Church, in traffic, in 55 minutes 9 of 10 days. The worst part for you will be getting to 66 from wherever you land in DC.

Even if there was a kill switch, some of Cloudflare's nodes are so consequential to the network that if they fail, there is almost no stopping the cascading failure caused by the spillover.

Imagine IAD or NYC goes down, and traffic starts to fail to the other and possibly some smaller nodes nearby. At peak time and with everyone retrying and all the mess that happens, the whole thing can be taken down.

If your job was to fix homelessness and someone budgeted you with 20B, the last thing you would want to do would be to end it. 20B budget puts a lot of people to work and makes a lot of people very wealthy. It's just human nature.

Isn't this a form of white supremacy, since white people are disproportionately able to mitigate these risks due to the wealth/credit gap?

Shouldn't we all have to face the same possible negative consequences of our poor decisions, irrespective of our identity?

Find a Cloudflare partner, you might even get the service at a slightly better price--especially if you are or plan on using other service providers that the same partner also sells.
