I don't know much about how windows software is packaged, but I find that a solid majority of desktop software I use is in flatpack and server software in OCI images

I'm trying not to get nerdsniped, but in the realm of subjective pragmatics, I personally find `allowlisting` to be drastically more clear.

My concern isn't really clarity of intention, but that 'allowlisting' just doesn't flow as well when reading as whitelisting does.

Does it say anywhere which model it’s using?

I see references to vLLM in the GitHub but not which actual model (Llama, Mistral, etc.) or if they have a custom fine tune, or you give your own huggingface link?

I agree that a lot of plastic recycling is greenwashing from the manufacturing industry.

I've seen the statistics, and we need to take dramatic steps in order to reduce the amount of single use plastics – but don't you think that it's better that we try?

I hear you about micro plastics, and I think that it's important to try to do better to fix this.

But given the limitations of our imperfect world, do you really think that we would be net-net better off without even making an attempt to recycle it?

This really depends on the specifics of how much we can move the needle. For instance, there's zero chance we're fully getting rid of plastics. Even in a world where we had perfect political will, you'd need them at a minimum for medical tools.

With regard to microplastic pollution, I think I'd need more information on the major causes. For instance, I've heard that car tires are one of the biggest causes on land, whereas fishing nets are one of the biggest causes in the ocean. To the extent that this is correct, recycling is not going to impact those problems one way or another. If for instance I were to learn that microplastic pollution from recycling was so minimal it can barely be measured, I would be open to changing my position. (my understanding that plastic recycling is a significant cause of microplastic pollution.)

I've rambled a bit here, but ultimately the question needs to be answered whether plastic recycling is doing more harm than good. If it's doing more harm then it makes no sense to "at least try," as "success" would put us in a worse position.

Historically Starlink roam let you pause/suspend the service and restart it when you need-

In August they changed their plans so you’d need to cancel and re-subscribe.

What a beautiful bit of hacking! This is awesome, and made my day to see :) It sounded -much- better than I would have guessed!

Like so many things, it depends-

How quickly do you need to be able to restore? Is it commercial or homelab?

The most cost-effective option by far would be to put a NAS device someplace offsite. You could use tailscale to connect to it remotely.

After that, depending on your access patterns, either a glacier-style s3 service (aws or backblaze/etc), or a rented bare-metal server with big disks some place inexpensive.

This is for a "warm" backup as opposed to a hot backup so restoration timeline would be like seven days.

Because the technical aspect of building the software like is the most fun and nerd–sniping, but perhaps the least important part in the process of building an audience and encouraging people to adopt it.

Just one point of view- but I have used both a decent amount and I drastically prefer CarPlay.

The native apps are … fine?

Again, it’s just my particular perspective, but I really appreciate that any CarPlay vehicle has the exact apps that I set up on my phone, already configured, etc.

There’s nothing Tesla could ever really do to compete with the convenience of already having all of my accounts set up and already having exactly the apps installed that I know I want.

The big one for me is moving packages to snap. You can work around it, but that defeats the whole “works out of the box” aspect
