Utilyze measures how efficiently your GPU is doing useful work

Not my GPU. I have an AMD.

Requirements
NVIDIA Ampere or newer GPU (A100, H100, H200, B200, RTX 3000+)

Grapheneos - apk sources?

Jump

Mike Wooskey @lemmy.thewooskeys.com 6d ago

I now see that I expressed my idea unclearly. Sorry!

I don't have any RSS feeds specifically for new/good apps. I meant that in my normal RSS feeds, sometimes new/good apps are mentioned that I want to take a look at.

I get leads from sites like selfh.st, Lemmy communities that discuss FOSS or Linux (or even non-tech-related communities sometimes mention an app that has to do with their domain of interest), and I sometimes search github (FYI, I use github as little as possible - I host my own Forgejo forge for my stuff - but, like Youtube, you have to go where the data is if you're going to find the data).

I use Obtainium. It's not a store or repo, so I have to manually find the apps I want to install. I even prefer it over fdroid: I might search for apps on fdroid but then go to the app's repo (on codeberg or github, etc) and try to install them via Obt ainium. But 98.6% of the time, I don't use fdroid to search for apps - I find them mentioned on Lemmy, in my RSS feeds, searching the internet via searxng.

On the one year anniversary of her passing, a little memory to remind me of all the joy she brought me.

I, too, made that mistake decades past. It still hurts me to remember how I put my wants (to have her with me) above hers (to feel good) and above reality (she had late stage cancer and was dying). It helps me a little to think she helped me be a better person and make better decisions for my pets going forward.

Checking....what's the status for FOSS agentic AI models with skills?

Jump

Mike Wooskey @lemmy.thewooskeys.com 3w ago

I'm my experience, running Ollama locally works great. I do have a beefy GPU, but even on affordable consumer grade GPUs you can get good results with smaller models.

So it technically works to run an AI agent locally, but my experience has been that coding agents don't work well. I haven't tried using general AI agents.

I think the amount of VRAM affordable/available to consumers is nowhere near enough to support a context length that's necessary for a coding agent to remain coherent. There are tools like Get Shit Done which are supposed to help with this, but I didn't have much luck.

So I'm using OpenCode via OpenRouter to use LLMs in the cloud. Sad that I can't get local-only to work well enough to use for coding agents, but this arrangement works for me (for now).

Do forks of Claude Code make OpenCode completely obsolete?

Jump

Mike Wooskey @lemmy.thewooskeys.com 1mo ago

Interesting! I've seen the sidebar but not thought of much advantage from it. I'll take another look. Model/provider change is a breeze, I just assumed Claude would do the same but maybe they want to make it harder to leave their models? Workspaces? Sounds interesting - gotta check it out.

I just discovered how easy it is to view/switch sessions in opencode.

I use opencode, have seen Claude but never used it. What are some examples of things opencode does that Claude doesn't?

I use Cirrus because I love its widget, and it does have rain radar. It's GPL-3.0

In lemmy communities, l often come across people who're not only unkind but short of tolerance of an opinion of a different kind.

When you say "in Lemmy communities", do you mean "on the internet"?

What's a good community to try to sell a phone?

Jump

Mike Wooskey @lemmy.thewooskeys.com 1mo ago

FYI, here's the story behind the unused Pixel 10:

I got a new Verizon account in December 2025, and was surprised to learn they'd give me a free phone. I chose a Pixel 10 (128GB, Obsidian).

When I opened the Verizon account, the Verizon employee touched this Pixel 10 just enough to make sure the eSIM was configured, but we never even set up the OS. I moved the eSIM to my phone, so this Pixel 10 has never been used, never even finished the initial boot process.

I think Verizon carrier-locks their phones for 60 days. I got the phone on 12/17/25 so it should be out of carrier lock now.

This Pixel 10 is boot-loader locked and I use GrapheneOS, so it's of no use to me. I tried to sell it on eBay, but they wanted me to upload photos of my ID or some such nonsense, which I won't do. I tried to sell it on Swappa, but they refused because the phone is "financed"*.

This phone is technically in new condition except the plastic seal on the box has been broken.

If you'd like to buy an unused Pixel 10 for $500 + shipping, please send me a private message and we'll work out the details.

Photos can be seen here (link available until 4/30/26): https://immich.thewooskeys.com/s/pixel10

Let me know if you have any questions about the phone.

Offers will be considered.

*The "free phone" deal with Verizon is that they charge me the cost of the phone ($800) prorated monthly over 2 years, and each month they also credit me that same amount so the total charge each month is $0.00. If ever I cancel my plan with them, they will charge me the balance.

Sorry for my delayed response: I'm not sure why, but I see none of y'all's comments in my instance.

And thank you all for your thoughts!

Swappa still exists. Barring that, I don’t know.
What is an unused Pixel 10? Stolen? Seems like a red flag. Those are tracked, the IMEI might be banned, and it might only be usable as a WiFi device. It might even be locked out of use, making it a paperweight. If it’s not stolen, you basically have a new device, and you probably want close to what you paid for it, but at that point any reasonable consumer would be better advised to just buy it new, and eliminate the possibility of it being locked out.

It's not stolen. I'll explain the phone's situation in my next reponse. I already tried Swappa.

Lemmy isn’t really the platform for that. If I were trying to sell a phone I’d probably list it on Swappa, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. It wouldn’t even occur to me to try and sell it here. And if I were buying a second hand phone, of those three I’d be most inclined to buy off of Swappa.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried eBay and Swappa, refuse to use Faceboook.

cRazi_man said:

Why try to sell here? The number of people on Lemmy is tiny. You need to advertise the phone in a place where loads of people can see. Facebook marketplace or eBay.

Because I tried eBay and Swappa and refuse to use Facebook, and so I thought of the "tiny" number of people in the fediverse, someone might want a Pixel 10.

mrnobody responded to cRazi_man:

It only takes one person lol

I agree!

I i think it's great that you're spreading the word about the fediverse and helping get people off of big data.

You might consider using a youtube alternative for your channel, perhaps a PeerTube instance.
