I really needed a quiet microblog. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

hű, de izgalmas, most kúszik fel a Gemma 4 LLM a silent hawk laptopra, a dual boot-os főterminál már nem bírta az osztályharcot, remélhetőleg nem kell hozzá se vpn, se statikus ip, VirtualBoxba jön az OpenClaw ügynök, majd a humanities informatikai projekten belül beszámolok róla

hello, but exciting, Gemma 4 LLM is now crawling onto the silent hawk laptop, the dual boot main terminal couldn't handle the class struggle anymore, hopefully it won't require a vpn or static ip, the OpenClaw agent is coming to VirtualBox, I'll report on it within the humanities IT project
