Just solved a problem with a regular expression.

Now I'm waiting to see what two new problems pop up in its place.

For fun I've been writing a fairly complicated set of Linux automation scripts in both Ansible and Pyinfra.

I like Pyinfra, but it feels a lot more like I'm programming in Python then defining automation tasks.

I think a lot of Ansible dislike is from bad implementation.

I wonder if the 5090 launch is a case of artificial scarcity, or if Nvidia just can't get their yields up.

Observations from video going viral about AI/LLM-related tech:

• Many people don't understand that 'AI' and 'NPU' chips that can barely run tiny models can't accelerate giant 10+ GB LLM models

• Many people have no clue you can run AI models offline / self-hosted

The irony that 'Open'AI is so closed that a Chinese open model can come in and deflate the OpenAI bubble in less than a week...

Apple wants you to pay $800 for 2TB of NVMe storage.

But if you want that, why not pay $269 and upgrade your M4 Mac mini yourself?

See how in my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLtE2kMTVOQ

Is there any way on Mastodon I can just auto-approve follow requests? I don't believe I've ever changed any defaults here, but every week or so, a couple follow requests pop up. Not sure why, maybe it's some feature inherent to this universe that I'm not aware of?

If anyone else has a newer model Raspberry Pi NVMe SSD, can you check if it has a Biwin storage controller? (Originals had Samsung) — want to verify if TRIM works or not... https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/6627
