I feel like we’re living in strange times where your comment appears to be AI generated as well. You complain about the surprise at the end and then offer up a similar structural surprise in your reply.
I am a parent of three young kids and I turned my ‘office’ into a toy room a long long time ago. Now, I remote into a 8GB raspberry pi from my phone to do side projects. The raspberry pi is slow but I am not sitting around waiting for it to work. It can run LLMs and even stable diffusion.
I remote in, do something, write notes, then get back to life. I’ll check back once I have time. I even have wireguard set up so I can remote in from anywhere!
