    Replying to @alexellisuk
    2/2 In my long-form write-up, I'll cover how the card ended-up paying for itself, but not by cancelling my Claude Max sub - where local Qwen struggles, and what we actually use it for in a real software business.

    Local Qwen isn't a worse Opus, it's a different tool
    We've all heard people say that Qwen is near-Sonnet level, or near-Opus, but I have receipts and am here to be transparent with you.

    Disappointing rug-pull from @Hetzner_Online on included bandwidth. 20TB to 1TB is a huge change for people that may have chosen them for their previously generous tiers.

    Is Docker saying that the OSS openfaas organisation on Docker Hub will get deleted if we don't sign up for a paid plan? What about Prometheus, and all the other numerous OSS orgs on the Docker Hub? cc @justincormack

    The Raspberry Pi 5 has been announced so I can finally talk about how much faster it is! That, coupled with native NVMe support makes it the best version yet for servers, clusters and homelabs @Raspberry_Pi

    Booting from an m.2 SSD with the new 64-bit RaspiOS and 8GB RAM model. No SD Card necessary. Fitting cooling would be tricky but fortunately the @pimoroni fan shim fits underneath the Startech HAT. @Raspberry_Pi
