Ah yes I remember in 2001 reading on Slashdot how only old Christians voted for Republicans/Bush, and they will soon die and George W Bush will not get re-elected.

It was even said on HN/Twitter during Covid 2021, how Trump supporters were dying in great numbers from refusing face masks and it was again Game OVER for Republicans, only for him to get elected again in 2024.

I looked into buying my own IP space from that IP auction site, an IPv4 C-class costs around $10,000. What stopped me was finding out I also to register with RIPE and pay the LIR annual fee, costing hundred Euros per month or so, even if I wasn't yet ready to use the IP space (I wanted to setup a basic Anycast IP without Cloudflare with help of VPS host who said they can help and had multiple locations around world).

Disappointing for Firefox for such lower performance.

I just ran the JetStream2 benchmark and got:

- Firefox: 159 score

- Chromium: 235 score

That's on latest Fedora Linux and Ryzen 3600 CPU.

They must have meant LibreWolf.

I've used it as a 2nd browser for past 2 years although on Speedometer benchmark it constantly gets a much lower score than Firefox. You can feel LibreWolf slower it on heavy sites like YouTube.

I also notice Chromium browsers get lower score than official Chrome binary. Apparently Google make further modifications to Chromium before compiling (that they don't make public).

Yes that's all I do, official LineageOS image for Pixel 6 (I bought it used on eBay).

I haven't tried it but apparently Aurora Store also supports login with your Google account, which means you can download apps you've paid for on the Play store directly.

I've been running LLM models on my Radeon 7600 XT 16GB for past 2-3 months without issues (Windows 11). I've been using llama.cpp only. The only thing from AMD I installed (apart from latest Radeon drivers) is the "AMD HIP SDK" (very straight forward installer). After unzipping (the zip from GitHub releases page must contain hip-radeon in the name) all I do is this:

llama-server.exe -ngl 99 -m Qwen3-14B-Q6_K.gguf

And then connect to llamacpp via browser to localhost:8080 for the WebUI (its basic but does the job, screenshots can be found on Google). You can connect more advanced interfaces to it because llama.cpp actually has OpenAI-compatible API.

Dial up was a painful period, sitting in school Monday-Friday thinking about what I'm going to surf in the weekend because that was the only time it was available for the package my parents had in 1998/1999 here in UK. Counting down the hours on Friday evening until it hits 12:00am.
