Which GGUF is right for me? (Opinionated)

Good question! I am collecting human data on how quantization affects outputs. See here for more information: ggerganov/llama.cpp#5962

In the meantime, use the largest that fully fits in your GPU. If you can comfortably fit Q4_K_S, try using a model with more parameters.

True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)

This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).

Testing colors

Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.

Arch Linux Cleanup

Basic notes and commands/scripts to help ease the cleanup process of your Arch Linux installation.

Introduction

One of the big pros of using Arch Linux is obviously the reduced bloat on your system, as you are obviously the sole proprietor of such bloat.

However, just as a large software project that gets developed on constantly, we end up with technical debt - and when using your Arch system as a daily driver, you will probably acquire a certain amount of such "bloat debt" over the years.

	const encrypt = (content, password) => CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(JSON.stringify({ content }), password).toString()
	const decrypt = (crypted, password) => JSON.parse(CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(crypted, password).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8)).content

	// Encrypt
	const encryptedString = encrypt('This is a string', password)
	const encryptedObject = encrypt({ test: 'This is an object' }, password)

	Please find below the various piece of code that together control my RGB light to loop in Rainbow.
	Every two seconds, it change from one colour to another based on the value of the second.
	So it compute 30 differents RGB value in a "circle", all with the same Saturation and Brightness both forced to 1.0
	The transition from one colour to another is done in one seconds.

	The name of my Tradfri RGB light bulb is "light.couleur"
