The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit. — Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas senior leader
queer armed militant Turtle Island anarchist. death to the United States, and death to Israel! the only good zionist is a dead nazi. all nations are bastards. russia and china are imperialist scum.
that being said, most apps won’t recognize the unified memory because because the Strix Halo is so new, so if you want accurate reporting of GPU usage, you have to set a specific amount. otherwise it will probably report 100% usage of 512M VRAM in apps like btop.
oh I know, but since I’m running on a Z13, there’s a custom runtime built for Strix Halo that makes the model a bit faster. and that runtime uses a fine-tuned version of Ornith that takes advantages of the specific architecture to increase t/s. I know, it’s already fast, but it’s nice to see those first tokens start generating within a couple seconds, and my agent crank out a few thousand tokens in less than ten seconds.
ornith isn’t good for coding, sure, but for automating the boring shit I don’t want to pay attention to, the model works beyond expectations. I do wish it was abliterated because one of the things I use it for is OSINT workflows and tracking down the personal info of fash, and the guardrails version doesn’t always like to do that, so the skills have to carefully word the prompts. I imagine it would get pissy if I asked it hard questions about China too, but I don’t chat with LLMs so I’m not sure.
I guess the sleuths were right. I’ve used local GLM models in the past, they aren’t bad at all. although I’m currently enjoying the speed and quality of Ornith 1.5 35b running on HaloFPX.
just wish there was an abliterated version.
that’s cause nobody else wants to listen to me talk about my favorite dinosaurs and why they are the best. it’s like they don’t even care 😭
there’s loads of things you can do with it, but arguably one of the best is making it a media PC. if you sail the high seas, then a full Servarr stack is really nice to have.

Javascript is a human rights violation
I use nano just because it’s the one that’s usually installed. if it was usually Vim, I would use that instead.
it’s real, and not uncommon in AI projects. for example, in Hermes, to setup ComfyUI to work with it, you literally just prompt “setup comfyui” and it handles the install and configuration, including downloading any models you want.
all bugs are besties.
except for chiggers. fuck those guys. and skeeters aren’t cool either.
when they say “extremely difficult to remove”, they mean when you want to keep your garden intact. you tear up the ground and build a data center, you really don’t have to worry about bamboo. if this had any sort of basis in reality, then there wouldn’t be a whole lot of cities in china, would there? I really hope none of you actually fell for this shit, because if you did then you need to seriously consider being a little skeptical of things you read online.
also, don’t go planting invasive species, we all deal with enough of those fucking up the environment already. it’s a serious crime for a reason, and that reason is it can destroy an environment and push local species to extinction, and millions or billions of those taxpayer dollars you don’t want to go to building data centers will instead be used to fix the stupid problems you created because you fell for some pseudoscience internet meme.
trump also takes the exact same views on immigration as Örebropartiet, and even vilifies Somalis just like they do. do you not consider trump a nazi?
nonsense, I would never use windows
It’s open source software with a full commit history, you can literally always go back and it’s impossible to prevent you from having that ability. The whole point of Linux is it can be whatever you want, there’s literally zero way that any government could realistically control Linux, nor any way to implement a practical system to enforce age verification when anybody can bypass it in their install at any time.
Nobody can convince me that in a world were governments can’t even stop non-anonymous piracy that they’re going to be in any way effective at controlling an operating system primarily used by technically savvy people, which is primarily distributed by P2P software most used for piracy.
Do they need to do any updates? The point of it was the message, it was never about making a serious OS. It was literally just “we’re going to break California law because there isn’t shit a single state in the US can do about it”.
Also, I thought I read that open source projects were recently exempted, so the point is probably moot now anyway.
fake money for criminals
are they talking about crypto or fiat? because it’s impossible to tell.
I used to use Arch, but I dropped it for CachyOS sometime last year. Cachy is just slightly faster for gaming for me, and since that’s my biggest use, there was no really compelling reason why I shouldn’t use it instead of Arch. Same experience, slightly better performance while gaming, and no additional work to set up. It’s just win after win.
check out HaloFPX. I can dig up the URL if you can’t find it. it’s a runtime that’s made for Strix Halo that ships with custom tuned models for ROCmFPX (I think that’s what it’s called), and it can give you really good speeds.
one of the models it comes with is a custom Ornith 1.5 35B, and with HaloFPX I get speeds in Deepseek Harness that are so fast I can’t read fast enough to keep up with generation.
