I know usually AI gets a bad rap but i think this is genuinely a neat use of it.
i made an ollama server running google's gemma model and made discord bot that directly sends requests to it from discord. effectively having a discord bot that talks to AI. while one of the features is for it spout...
live wallpaper engine, and youtube video embedding has been added. uploading a video of it running below:
the possibilites of this is getting interesting now.
i must be out of my mind at this point.
implemented a custom irc server. that way im not hopping into random efnet servers (even tho its totally compatible and you can connect to any irc sever out there with it as well)
the server has a special startup routine. it asks the user for a 5 digit...
at this point, theming, private messaging, full gif support, smileys and stickers seem to work. honestly kind of proud of how well this has all turned out. we keep working on it.
i feel like i may have something of substance here at this point. im sure if a programmer saw this he would laugh...
as i update and add customization, the client is coming up more to life
honestly, i think discord would be so cool if you could set a wallpaper on it. (that being said people just want the dark mode to be a thing.
The program now allowsfor personalization and setting its own background. user...
i was bored and wanted to make an irc client a little bit more modern than what people are used to, (its 2025 after all)
so far i have added support for embedding images and emojis into it. of course in order for it to be interactive everyone in the room needs to use the client but its worth it...
turns out lots of ewaste recyclers have been getting rid of mining blades that turn out to be slightly nerfed ps5 apu's.
meet the asrock bc250. apparently released around 2021 ish with 6 out of the 8 cores of a regular ps5 and 24 out of the 36 units on the gpu (cpu has had them locked out?)...
Ever wonder how far you can take an old piece of junk that by all intents and purposes should be long gone? Well i recently did. A long time coming from the 1 dollar GBA build from a few years ago, behold the 20 dollars junk XBOX! (inflation sucks but for 20, bucks lets see what we got)
The...
been while.
will be using this to do some blogposts on restore work/ various other shenanigans
I was bored so i decided to challenge myself and make the "most performance for dollar for the cheapest amount i could think of" pc build
so a lot of parts needed to be sourced from the cheapest parts from newegg.
for the pc case we went for this janky guy... 52 bucks and with cable...
with nvidia anouncing the 3 series card the obvious has happened to the second hand market.
its kinda gone nuts.
2080 and 2080 supers can be had for 350 and 400.
and i know you can say the 3080 is a beast and that the 3070 will be excellent and cheap... something tells me that the 3 series with...
well kinda. just a homebew dash out of lols and boredom. i had started this project a few years back but never planned to release anything (nor do i care to do so now)
i just find it amusing that i repurposed it into an android "desktop" gui launcher for kicks and giggles (mouse and keyboard...
Please if you suffer from anxiety and depression, i urge you to avoid reading the stuff below. Its just a window for me to vent my realities as someone who has been getting psychologically stressed at everything that has been going on.
If you had asked me what coronavirus would have looked like...
The ebay auction where i may have gone overboard.
1-4th gen i5 i7 and xeons (some i3's for good measure too. lol). ended up scooping this mess for about 300 bucks... gonna call friends and family and ask them if they would like free upgrades.
Linus tech tips had covered last year that there is a barrage of p106 nvidia video card in the market that are pretty much considered useless since the bitcoin collapse of 2 years ago:
In short the card can be used for gaming provided certain things are "just right" with your setup and you...
2019 has sure been an interesting year. i started the year being probably way to invested in the politics section while doing some dev work as i have in previous year for some minor stuff.
Oh boy has the politics section been fascinating this year. the body count of people getting banned or...
Friend of mine got an extra laptop that usually go on ebay for about 80 bucks or less on a regular basis.
It looked more or less like this:
Dell lappy
if you are forgiving enough of it being an older i5 these tend to be pretty competent if you put an ssd and bump them to 8gb of ram. (no they...
I ended up finally getting the remaining parts needed to build the PC.
for context you can read the previous entry on this here
-The case was bought from someone at letgo for 35 bucks (thing was still new!). However a very similar case can be found here
-1 of the SAS drives was still good but...
Doesnt sound as sexy as the 1 dollar one to be honest. but this one at least is on par with 2019 standards:
started with a similar car wreck as the last $1 gba blogpost and this one was also a dollar. the ips v2 kit was 49 dollars from china:
after some soldering and making a make shift...
boredom can be a killer of wallets.
i was browsing ebay today. and saw an nvidia 1070 for about a 150 dollars. ( I dont look often at them. The shortage of supply in video cards 2 years ago made sure i stayed away from checking prices until recently) given that my last "decent" card i have had...
