For added convenience, skip the VPN and get a seedbox. If you consider the cost savings in hardware you spend even less.

That’s nice, but this project seems very dead, or am I missing something?

Oh nice, and Apple made that native with iOS18?

WTH are „trail apps“?

I am glad you liked it. Can’t take the credit for this one though, I first heard it from Ed Zitron in his podcast „Better Offline“. Highly recommend.

I feel this is all just a scam, trying to drive the value of AI stocks. Noone in the media seems to talk about the hallucination problem, the problem with limited data for new models (Habsburg-AI), the energy restrictions etc.

It’s all uncritical believe that „AI“ will just become smart eventually. This technology is built upon a hype, it is nothing more than that. There are limitations, and they reached them.

82.2W average for which I pay 144.6€/a at the moment. That’s for a Ryzen 7 3700X, some hard drives and SSDs and the fiber connection to my basement. I outsourced 90% of media consumption to a VPS though, that’s another 84€/a.

Aah, the good ol‘ wooden variety

What are you using it for? Did you publish anything written in typst? Edit: this is a genuine question.

There are a lot of typos in this book. Are you looking for someone to proofread? Great work btw

Under every single LaTeX themed post there is someone suggesting typst. Why use something open, if you can use something proprietary? /s

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).

I see, you probably had to change the overleaf config file? I feel it’s too much work to keep it updated and running, on my Linux server. But the official overleaf is just too slow. It struggles to compile 30 page documents, and i have several that are longer. How does it run for you on your windows computer, with the local installation? What are the specs of your machine?

Idk when you did it, but with the overleaf toolkit, at least the docker networking seems to be no problem. I had quite some problems with updating though. I run an outdated version at the moment because texlive gets updated faster than overleaf, which produces errors when installing the texlive full package. Overall, also can’t recommend.

What did you use Facebook for? I haven’t been on there for a decade, this is a serious question.

I can never remember which is which

Do you really do Alt+C and Alt+P for copy paste? I usually press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

It’s a bit rich for a site that uses about 200 „legitimate interest“ cookies to complain about chinese practices.

I just assume you are in the US and i can’t speak for the situation there. Here in the EU there are plenty of options. Sure it’s a bit more expensive sometimes, but often times it’s not.

And the convenience, I get it. Amazon customer support is unbeatable. From what I hear it is getting worse, though.

For me in the EU it is possible, but sometimes a struggle. The ideological thing makes it worth it for me, and if there are more and more people that don’t use Amazon (as often), there may be a time when it dies.

The only items I bought on Amazon since coronavirus hit are a phone charger, some shirts that aren’t available anywhere else and a pedal for a sewing machine.

So I can’t tell you an alternative the alternative you are looking for, but for me it is a lot of small to large online stores and some offline stores as well. There isn’t quite something as convenient that has virtually everything out there, afaik.
