I have not tried v4.1. I typically wait until there’s a “recipe” someone else makes that makes it easy to load on my devices. Haven’t looked yet but those lag for a week or more.

I use massive amounts of AI for home lab dev and operations. It’s an incredible tech that unlocks so much for homelab devs. I never would have the time or patience to build out an entire system like I have now.
It has allowed me to de-google my life completely now. I run SSO with a mail server, file server, gitea, arr stack, immich for photos, and dozens more things. The whole stack monitors and acts on alerts by itself. Quite wild.
I use a couple DGX Spark boxes for inference. Currently running Deepseek v4 Flash 0731.
I have zero reliance on big tech now (aside from the annoying Google sso; that will take time to migrate away from).
So yes, I use AI just a tad. It would be foolish not to.
Some background: I’ve been a professional software dev/arch for 35 years.

“It’s a necessary tool. We need this tool to combat evil,” he said.
What a shit ending. No. It’s not necessary.

on Australia to force social media platforms to allow users to opt out of algorithms in c/technology@beehaw.org · 9 Sep 2026
No. That’s an algorithm.
So is filtering to only friends and hiding blocked users.
So no algo, no feed at all really.

You can prob ask copilot too. But it’ll prob fuck up and upgrade instead.

on Colorado: to test the 911 service, you must first place a normal call to the 911 center. WTF, they don’t think you might be unable to make normal calls (the very reason you need to test 911)? in c/technology@beehaw.org · 28 Aug 2026
You’ve complicated this. They say to contact them on non-emergent line to make sure it’s a good time for a test. What problem do you think you’re solving?

on Local officials face death threats and gunfire over AI data center projects — More than 500 towns restrict builds as councils shutter public comment in c/technology@beehaw.org · 28 Aug 2026
I’m uninterested in debating the merit of the article. I was simply providing you objective information.

It’s in the article. In fact, that’s what the article is about.

Doesn’t matter which way they vote, they’re getting attacked. When your populace is split, what are you supposed to do?

on Tesla’s Robotaxi gets caught crashing through bollards, just as it readies the purpose-built Cybercab for public roads in c/technology@beehaw.org · 22 Aug 2026
They’re meant to survive hits without causing damage. They bend over. It’s flexible rubber. They do that so people making mistakes don’t cause damage.
That looked like a turning guide but then ended. I’d have been confused too. I’d have backed out tho!
Point is, this wasn’t dangerous or damaging. If you consider that not a small mistake, what would a small mistake be?

That was a non-issue. Those are little plastic things it bumped. They’re meant to be hit.
Car made the tiniest mistake and dude inside is acting like it’s dangerous.

on Everyone's asking, 'Who's Json?', but nobody's asking, 'How's Json?' in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 13 Aug 2026
They didn’t say they don’t know what it stands for.
They don’t work with JavaScript. I don’t deal with JS very often at all. I do know stringify, since I did a bunch of JS stuff back in the 2010s. But it’s not unreasonable for a dev to not know JS.
I’m basically there. I don’t have the time to fix if something goes wrong. If AI were suddenly unavailable, and everything started going haywire with my cluster, I’d shut it down and go back to using other peoples computers (cloud).
But that can’t and won’t happen.
