I didn’t know until I read this comment, but this is exactly what I want. A telegram bot with Claude on the other side and GitHub app to check out the code

Followed the instructions to run it: https://github.com/TrungNguyen1909/qemu-t8030/wiki/Bringing-... it has crashed on me more times than I care to admit. Pretty cool, though.

I’ve been using mullvad for years now. I can’t recommend it enough. I travel a fair bit for work and it’s a must in certain countries and certain hotel chains that have horrible privacy reputations.

Sign up using email + password didn’t work. Complained about missing ‘reCaptcha’, but there was no captcha in the page :(

I love seeing this. This is where the pudding is made. Invention, development, training and inference is all very expensive. Past generation AI assistants (Alexa, GHome) failed to find a way to monetize, and the balance between utility and privacy was simply not there, which meant that they didn't make for a decent long term business, so they all had to downsize like crazy. Right now only Infrastructure folks have a sustainable business here, and the fact that OpenAI is pitching to publishers this early (still beginning of the 'S curve') means that they are serious about making this a sustainable long term business. As 'early adopters' move into something new (look ma, a new toy!), it will be fascinating to see how OpenAI (and others?) keep a balance between paid customers, top of funnel (free + ads?) and opex.

> One of the significant benefits of vDPA is its strong abstraction, enabling the implementation of virtio devices in both hardware and software—whether in the kernel or user space. This unification under a single framework, where devices appear identical for QEMU facilitates the seamless integration of hardware and software components.

I honestly don’t know what this means. Is it faster? Is it more secure? Why would I use this vDPA thing instead of the good’ol virtio blk driver? Looking at the examples it certainly looks more cumbersome to setup…

I have my car (Subaru) hooked to an automation with home assistant. Several, actually. I can start the car in winter by pushing a button in my kitchen, heat it up, and then walk there. But the most important one is that I can turn the car off remotely as well, based on timers and automations. I generally don’t buy the ‘we should not allow this or that because it can be dangerous’. I’m a big boy. Driving is even more dangerous always. Let me choose. Please.

If you say ‘recession’ enough times, you’ll be right at some point. Experts have predicted 22 out of the last 10 recessions…
