I've found that getting an #AI model deployed locally was pretty difficult, but then I gave #InstructLab a try last week. It's awesome!

I was able to test out plenty of natural language questions and do a tiny amount of training on my home computer.

Cockpit, 17 days ago to random

Is anyone using cockpit-certificates and
interested in taking over its development and maintenance?

It currently works, we've kept
it on life support with CI and dependabot and such, but it hasn't seen any real
development in a long time.

If you are interested, please let us know. We are happy to provide guidance and help with PR reviews and such.

If nobody is interested, we'll archive the repository in two weeks.

PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

Hey everyone! #vultr just enshittified!

They re claiming ownership of all intellectual property you host on their VMs.

https://grimgreenfo.rest/notes/9rdle0uyo4d30029

Clear violation of copyright law.

So, where are people moving to? What options are out there? that suck less?

Man, I've been a big fan of #VULTR for ages, since the ooooold days, but this is depressing. 😞

Dont compare yourself to others & Melodic Techno from Scratch. In my response to "trendcast," I express understanding of the frustration that comes with comparing one's work to others and the evolving nature of personal art.

Some lucky soul just might get one of these very, very limited edition bad-label #qbsh floppies, which will no doubt be worth more than the regular label floppies on ebay at some future point.

I loved this recent video by Exploring the Foreign (an American living in the Netherlands) where he visits Urk, the Netherlands' most infamous town.

I don't think most foreigners would be willing to just go there, speak Dutch, and get to know what people are really like there the way he did.
