    Things usually break on updates unless your disk fills up or worse some hardware fails…

    So it’s pretty easy to fix: never upgrade automatically.

    I always upgrade manually and check immediately what I have upgraded. Works fine so far.

    And I was only partially joking… Yeah if a service stays broken for a long time, just uninstall it, it was useless.










  • Mmm… Nah, i fully disagree.

    Hobby doesnt mean grindy. I very much prefer my power tools when woodworking, to manually saw, dust and chisel wood…

    Same thing here, using AI is the power tools of woodworking.

    I would never build furniture by manually sawing boards. Very much prefer to power cut and save that grind time to paint a second layer or build an extra piece.

    Really, the boring grind adds nothing. Now, there is grind that adds value by taking time, and sometimes it’s what you look for into hobbies. Time consume.

    Just, sometimes not.




  • Qwen 3.8 27b is a beast. Better quality than all the free tier commercial AIs. If you can afford a big enough context window, it can very well assist you as good as paid tier commercial ai.

    It’s the first model I feel confident to assign a complex coding task and have it actually deliver a final product.

    On my hardware it’s pretty slow (15t/s) but also quite usable provided you are not in a hurry.

    I’m about 3h ingested a complex software and added a full ffmpeg pipeline to deliver video transcoding to the browser with backend side caching and more.

    It would have taken me days just to dig into how to use ffmpeg for that taks, and more just to debug it.
