comfyui 1000000 percent sucks at UX and UI

This is what happens when you try to run on Azure.

By switching to Azure....
vanillax··on Automatic1111 for Apple metal, 40% speed up sd1.5
SD 1.5 is so insanely old at this point im not sure the point of this when you have Mini Max H3 on metal https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49252179
vanillax··on Spotify just hit 300M Premium subscribers
Spotify algorithm has gotten so bad. I just use Youtube Music and it just works(tm).
vanillax··on Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8, and Anthropic's (Potential) Unravelling
you cant. The best you can do is Qwen 3.6 27b with a 24gig ( or cumaltive gpus ) to get to 24gb vram. ala 3090, mac with 36gb ram, amd cards, halo strix amd, dgx spark etc. Lots of youtube videos out there.

vanillax··on K3sup – bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s
Youtube slop culture. Not even AI. Just nonsense.
vanillax··on K3sup – bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s
Talos is all you need.
vanillax··on Libre Solar – Open Hardware for Renewable Energy
Great use case for solar shed/offgrid/cabin... I think people underestimate how much you can do with a solar shed , batteries, and the sorta reduced risk aspect of a shed catching fire vs a house. That being said its really easy to follow safety precautions. I cant wait to try this out.
vanillax··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
I mean next on list is Escape From Tarkov.. the list goes on. its more than just Battlefield 6, theres tons of games that require a anti cheat solution for linux..
vanillax··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
I made the same switch but all linux always feels slightly jank. I think Macos is the best premium decoupling from Winblows, but that comes with its own ecosystem lock in. I use all three equally daily and it just drives me insane. Lots of games on Windows ONLY work on windows due to anti cheat. Ie BattleField 6.... MacOs Gaming is non existent and any attempt with say wine/parallels or whatever brings you back to windows.... Linux / PopOS / Cosmic is so close to being there but the gaming restrictions takes you back to Windows.. I tried the whole WSL2 but lots of apps need so much tuning to work properly.. Ie android studio needs to be specially configured to use the WSL2 paths and it gets broken fast.
vanillax··on Swift on Android: Full Native App Development Now Possible
What is the point of this. just use flutter or react native.
vanillax··on Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s
Kubernetes is not hard. Taking the time to read the manual seems to be hard for most people.
vanillax··on Gemini 3
I couldn't disagree more
vanillax··on LLMs are steroids for your Dunning-Kruger
I'll take big - enterprise AI written code, over offshore any day of the week. I for one welcome AI for this exact use case.
vanillax··on I'm a Senior Developer and I Still Google Everything (Perfectly Normal)
Do you think most enterprises even care about Big O outside of silicon valley? The answer is no.
vanillax··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
Garage for s3 emulation is a great tool. https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/
vanillax··on A Guide for WireGuard VPN Setup with Pi-Hole Adblock and Unbound DNS
This is a neat guide. Its baked in already if you have a Firewalla device. Cool to see this roll your own approach. I always found their guide helpful.

From the Firewalla Site -

How to Choose Your DNS Strategy If you have NO concerns at all, just use traditional DNS from your ISP or configure some public DNS for your LAN networks if you like. If you need simple filtering to protect your network from unwanted online content, choose Family Protect -> Native mode. It won't conflict with other DNS services. If you trust your DNS service provider but don't trust your ISP, choose DNS over HTTPS. If you do not trust any single DNS server other than the root and authoritative DNS server, choose Unbound. If you do not want any DNS queries getting changed or filtered, use Unbound. If you do not want any DNS queries getting changed or filtered and want to add a layer of encryption so that your ISP can't see your DNS requests, use Unbound and turn on DNS over VPN under it.

vanillax··on Comprehension debt: A ticking time bomb of LLM-generated code
Offshore coding practices in the 2010's is the same thing as LLM. Id take LLM over offshore 10/hr devs any day of the week...

vanillax··on Weather Radar APIs in 2025: A Founder's Complete Market Overview
How do apps like Carrot get "hyper local" radar maps? Like ive never understood how these apps like Carrot have like 5-6 radar types if they are just calling someone elses API.. Id have to imagine theres some very heavy vector like DBs of points of xy radar raw data? Then they visualize it?
