Yup, the Milwaukee PD took over 6 months for a fairly basic records request, and that was even with me following up monthly to ask them for an update. In the end, the only cost to me was <$5 for the 2GB flash drive they put the files on.

Unfortunately Wisconsin State Law only gives vague guidelines on this ("must respond reasonably quickly" or something along those lines)

You just need a microUSB cable IIRC

Literally the first sentence threw up red flags for me:

> Something happened to recorded music over the last twenty-five years that most people can hear, and feel, but almost nobody has the language for.

That is 100% Claude

what do you mean by "Deepseeks browser platform"? Google isn't turning up much, and searching DeepSeek's docs for "browser" returns no results.

No, only if an airtag that's not theirs follows them for an amount of time

Right, the added value of being able to access, build, and publish releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux on BOTH x64 and ARM cannot be overstated

I couldn't agree more but feel that so many people on here consider themselves VIP that this won't be well-regarded

Can you send me a link once it's up? Or otherwise link to your GitHub profile so people can follow you.

yeah their billing system truly sucks. One month I was charged exorbitantly for Workers Container usage. There was absolutely zero way to monitor or track your usage until the invoice arrived.

What's your strategy for juggling all of these on only 16GB? Docker?

>I use a $5 VPS + $3 for 0.5gb of block storage to host shitty video game clips I want to share with my friend

What's the benefit of this over an unlisted YouTube video? I suppose there are many valid philosophical reasons to not want to use it.

Yeah i just tried self-hosting GitLab again and was surprised that I was getting OOM errors when I provisioned it with an 6GB memory limit. Turns out 8GB is like, the bare minimum. Crazy

> Deepseek 4 Pro

There's your problem, 4.1 Flash is significantly better and cheaper, to the point where the official DeepSeek API is going to (or already has, I forget) redirect requests for Pro to 4.1 Flash, and adjust billing accordingly too.

4 Pro is still offered by providers I'm sure, since it's open weight, so I can understand making that mistake.
