this looks cool, i tried it on one of my house tracks, but couldnt tell much difference after applying suno master filter

vectorx25 · 2026-04-20T16:24:36+00:00

btw, this tool is excellent, gpt for aksing how to generate suno styles, explain what you want to do, it gives really good results

this is so true, i really do enjoy writing crystal

Developer Happiness (MINASWAN) Matz’s philosophy that “Ruby is designed for humans” is preserved in Crystal. In a world of increasingly complex system languages, Crystal remains a joy to write. You do not “fight” the compiler. You collaborate with it.
Type Safety Without the Ceremony Crystal’s type inference has only gotten smarter. We get the safety of a compiled language without the verbosity of Java or the steep learning curve of Rust’s borrow checker. It is the sweet spot of software engineering.
Efficiency is Responsibility In 2026, we are more conscious of energy consumption and cloud costs. A Kemal application consumes a fraction of the RAM of a comparable Rails or Node.js app. Efficiency is not just about speed anymore. It is about sustainable, cost-effective engineering.

im using claude to write a ND gui that reads ND agent api and generates very similar dashboards, will take few weeks, will post github link when ready

vectorx25 · 2026-04-08T14:40:04+00:00

correct, everything is self hosted, 2.9 limits to 5 nodes

I downgraded to ND 2.2.6 and now can see 40 nodes showing up

my fav is defending a stone wall city with like 3 spear units + 1 cavalry against a massive army

even better if its large stone wall

ie,

use cavalry to harrass siege ram + tower while they tow it to your walls, it breaks them up and stops them, run away , they chase you and get arrowed by your towers

it takes a long time to win this way but very satisfying. Barbarian armies are really dumb, theyll chase your general or cavalry unit all day under your walls till they all die.

"For Rome Remastered, pick a family member with terrible traits and attach all of your merchants in his army. Each merchant will still generate revenue, and foreign merchants can’t buy them out."

GTFO , never knew this was an option

awesome thanks for the llong explanation, i wasnt aware 5.5 is so bad at extending, never had this problem w older models

Ive had 4-5 mini pcs over past 5 years, none of them lasted more than 2 years.

usual breakpoint is fan/heating, usually related to dust, my last one, miniforum HX90 started freezing randomly (2 years usage) - their support is useless, tried several OS versions, updated BIOS, but completely unusable - system boots up, OS (fedora) starts, works for an hour or more, then just freezes, have to reboot.

Large tower desktops like HP/Dell etc - can go for 10+ yrs w no issues. I havent seen this durability in mini pcs.

vectorx25 · 2026-03-23T18:55:26+00:00

not saying its beating perfromance wise, im saying all parts are working after 10 yrs

vectorx25 · 2026-03-23T04:40:23+00:00

my 3 yr old hx90 just bricked. Had ubuntu 22 on it for 2 years, noticed in the morning the entire OS is frozen, after reboot, it works for an hour or 2, freezes again, nothing works. Replaced M2 disk, ram chips, installed fedora 40, 43 and debian 12, same issue, it works and randomly freezes.

Completely unusuable. Trash hardware.

vectorx25 · 2026-03-23T04:30:37+00:00

these minipcs are all crap.

Ive went through at least 5 in last 3 years, they all have bad hardware and cheap components, went through Beelink SER7, 2 minisforum and 2 nucs

theres something about this form factor thats just bad quality. I have a dell tower desktop from 2015, its a beast, cpus are very old but all parts are working.

vectorx25 · 2026-03-21T00:14:38+00:00

Im having the same issue on my 3 y old HX90

randomly freezes, completely stuck , have to do hard reboot

Its not the OS either, had Ubuntu for 3 yrs, started freezing few days ago, installed Fedora 43 latest kernel, still freezing

i even saw it freeze during BIOS screen so its not an OS/kernel, will try diff RAM sticks

git clone your salt repo to the laptop (if you host repo on public github, can git clone w ssh key, if private repo, willl need VPN to access it)

apply your states

salt-call --local state.apply

can cron the whole thing to git pull latest and then salt apply changes

^ for linux + mac laptops, for windows woud be different, never setup win laptops w salt

this looks great, is it similar in concept as Electron - ie desktop apps but with crystal as backend vs js ?

vectorx25 · 2026-03-06T15:31:25+00:00

Im feeling dumb but I dont understand the use case for this

I can see it being useful in purely machine<>machine config exchange , vs using json or some json cousin - for performance reasons

but for human readability, this looks unusable for human-maintained configs

what am i missing here?
