Ollama + Hermes on M5 Max 128GB using .NET using Qwen 3.6:35b-a3b as the primary model to do the work. I might use 27b to plan what to do.

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Remind HN: Today is Mother's Day, call your moms

I don't know you, but I'm happy that you get to be you. If you wouldn't be friends with your family members, then why would you spend time with them? As far as parents go, they chose to have me, I didn't choose them. Not all people are good, and just because you are related to them doesn't mean it's healthy to have them in your life. Enjoy your day!

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)

There's demand for it, add me to the list who wants this and would use it

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Bye, Mom

I’m about the same age as you. I was raised in a strict christian home. For a long time, I thought that was normal. It wasn’t. I didn’t see it clearly until my late thirties, sitting in therapy for depression. That’s when I learned it was abuse.

The best thing my therapist told me was to cut off contact. I did. And I’ve never been happier. I’ve got my own family now. We live with love, not fear. We tell the truth. We don’t play mind games.

If my parents ever want to make peace, they’ll have to admit they were dishonest and tried to control me. But they won’t. They still say they did what they thought was best.

For me, I just look forward to the day I stop thinking about them, or the day I hear they’ve passed.

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help

Some banks do things that make you never want to do any business with them. Wells Fargo would open checking/savings/credit card accounts without their customers knowing, then Wells Fargo fired thousands of employees as a result of being caught. I will do everything possible to never to business with them.

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Tell HN: Burnout is bad to your brain, take care

I've felt burnout and feel that I'm dealing with it now. I know doing exercise, a better diet, nature, will all help, but it's the motivation to start doing it. You wake up not wanting to go to work. You're at work, not wanting to go home. You're at home and don't want to go to sleep since it means you're just going to start the cycle again tomorrow. My issue is finding the motivation to start improving.

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Google suspends romance author's account for writing sexually explicit content

Cases like this always make me think of the 3-2-1 backup strategy. 3 copies of the data, 2 different media, and 1 off site. I sometimes feel like I'm paranoid when backup up my files and photos like this until I read stories like this. I don't know how people outside of IT would even think of making 3 copies.

AH4oFVbPT4f8on Ask HN: Did you turn off Google activity tracking?

This was one of the reasons I no longer contribute to reddit. I don't post, comment, upvote nor downvote. I'll still consume it from time to time, something I try to stop doing. All I can do is vote with my money and my time and I try to spend it else where.
