  • To be fair, the first time I tried running local AI (and it actually worked), I was so surprised that I actually unplugged my Ethernet and tried again. I’m still surprised, but it’s possible for the massive amounts of training data to be compressed to a model under only 10 or 20 GB.


  • I use Mailspring. The only thing missing from Mailspring for me is seeing what folders my emails are in when I run a search. Otherwise, it’s the only non-CLI client I’ve found that let’s me use the keyboard to select multiple emails and move them to a folder, something I do in Gmail.

    If anyone knows of others, let me know! I’ve tried Claws, Evolution, Geary, KMail, and Thunderbird in addition to Mutt and aerc in hopes of finding something to replace Gmail.




  • I agree and use Arch as well, but of course I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. For me, having the same distribution on both server and desktop makes it easier to maintain. I run almost everything using containers on the server and install minimal packages, minimizing my upgrade risk. I haven’t had an issue yet, but if I did I have btrfs snapshots and backups to resolve.





  • No command line interface, but if you’re focus is a single solution with a consistent interface for lists, to-dos, etc., AppFlowy might be what you are looking for.

    I’m a huge fan of NocoDB, including their kanban views, group by options, and forms. You could use the GUI to create the tables and relations and then use the REST API to quickly update from the command line. It can use any database for its storage, so you could still create scripts or read the data for specific needs.




  • Thin clients! I “upgraded” from a RPi3 to an HP T630 that I got new off of eBay for $65, including power supply (and case). I was able to upgrade the M.2 storage easily. I use mine as a home server running over a dozen Docker containers. It’s x86 instead of ARM too.

    The only bad part was installing Linux. It took a while for me to figure out where the UEFI expected the boot files and documentation isn’t great.
