I would like to build a gate for the deck today but I'm terrible at that kind of thing. I don't know where to start, so I should just start.


#

I would like to combine my various RSS feed into one "Everything" feed. I used to use a WordPress plugin, but since I'm no longer using WordPress I'll need something standalone. So far RSS Mixer is broken, RSS Mix won't load, and RSS.app is too expensive. Any suggestions?


#

I see that Arc went 1.0 today and there's no longer a waitlist. If you haven't tried Arc, you should. I installed it on August 9, 2022 and it became my default browser less than a month later. I never thought I'd give up Safari, but Arc is just better.

Simon Willison's LLM CLI tool

This LLM CLI tool from Simon Willison is cool. I learned about it when he posted about it on Mastodon today

If you're a Homebrew user this might now be one of the quickest and easiest ways to start running a LLM locally on your own machine - it's just three steps:

Simon Willison, Mastodon

brew install llm

llm install llm-gpt4all

llm -m 'ggml-vicuna-7b-1' 'ten fun names for a pet pelican'

Fun!
