2·23 hours agoAs I researched online, I’m not sure if I can boot from microSD. But most likely I will be able to put from USB. It could be
/booton USB and the rest on uSD. But I will have to buy an expensive uSD to get at least like 150MB/sIf I go this way, the advantage is that I can get an old macbook air with broken SSD working. And since the SSD is not normally replaceable, this means excellent bargaining chance for me :)))

1·1 day agoLenovo x200 series could be a good option. But it is not as small and light as I want. But maybe in the end I go for x200 or x100 series. Then replace the battery and the charging circuit etc

2·1 day agoThank you so much for this! Why 2015? Why not 2013? Also, isn’t it possible to boot them from microSD? I’m looking for a sub 12" device.

1·2 days agoI already have a 14". It’s too big for a portable device I would carry exactly everywhere. I use it as me home PC, till I get a real new one, as well as portable computer during travels.
The thing is, a 14" laptop cannot be used in bus, train, waiting room, etc. Sometimes a thought or idea comes and I have to write it. Sometimes I have to write down the stuff other people talk about.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Come have fun with us on Luanti JMA CTF server
1·2 days agoThank you for your suggestion. I am a developer there and I can tell them about this. However, they will whitelist your username not your IP. So you can email them.

1·3 days agoYou can email Loki or other admins to unblock you. I also use a proxy through me VPS in SE to connect to the server. Your land is a building survival server.
The fun is in CTF which is FPS-like :))
Thank you! Noted!
As a member of the community, I won’t have a problem if the interactions with LLMs are only with open source ones, and the conversation is available as open data to all, without restrictions. The same which CommonVoice does for Voice.
Data matters so much that the companies keep it to themselves. And I absolutely don’t want the data to be used for training models which enslave the developers and the people of this planet. The least is that data should be open to all, so the FOSS community would have a chance to use the data to contribute back to FOSS.
Note that it doesn’t matter if the model is open source. For Machine Learning the data matters as much as the code does, if not more. And in this case, data matters much much more. The code is widely available and can also get researched independently.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Any resources on how to start writing documentation for an open source project ?
1·5 days agoIn your blog you can write tutorials. Or if you had trouble getting something done, you can write how did you do it. They will be good useful notes for other people, possibly including your future self :)

1·7 days agoIn general if you want to be a good writer, you need to be a good reader first :)
Writing is a good ability you could have so you would be a more valuable person, and also create value. Also writing is a way to express yourself, like in your blog.
Like many other things, you get good by practice. If you enjoy doing it, then just go read and write. Ask for feedback. You’ll get better and better slowly :)
Also may the Source be with you :D

So far the best option seems to be going for macbook air. It is easier to find one.
