I don’t process lyrics unless I focus hard on them, and I guess there is also an opposite phenomenon where your mind focuses primarily on the lyrics and their meaning before the actual music… just depends on how your brain is wired. 🧠30 Mar 2026 00:17 +0000at://did:plc:2kdcabqtnlen7rbypqrysl22/app.bsky.feed.post/3miaf6aodjs2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/dansnull.bsky.social/post/3mhtrpasdys2zNeed a #router or #gateway?

Download LM-Studio or Ollama and run AI on your own hardware. If you have a slower machine, keep your “B” low. Ex: ModelName-4B.

Navigate to “Insights>Forks” or just add “/forks” to the end of the projects URL. Here you can see if anyone else has made their own fork of the project and is continuing development.13 Feb 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:2kdcabqtnlen7rbypqrysl22/app.bsky.feed.post/3mep7zir4nk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/dansnull.bsky.social/post/3meoccapna22k#LPT Flash drives and #SSD drives will begin to lose your data after only 2-3 years, if left unplugged.
