@DavidOndrej1 Hello David, I am planning a desktop for local LLMs with OpenClaw. Now I am using Claude Opus for complex tasks. How good are the local LLMs compared to Sonnet or Opus? For some complex tasks I need Opus level. Is it possible on a local LLM?

if you're not running this AI model locally, you're falling behind

Seen your series - it's the reference for partitioned CRLs, nothing comes close. I'll link it in Part 8. My goal is the full picture of building solid PKI, not going deeper than needed on each topic. When I can't improve on what's out there, I refer. Your work is one of those cases.

@bencoremans BTW, you mentioned partitioned CRLs in part 8. I would recommend to check my 5-part blog post series on this matter if you didn’t yet: sysadmins.lv/blog-en/catego…. By far it is the most comprehensive guide available. Even Microsoft doesn’t have such in single place.

Ten years running enterprise PKI. Expensive lessons. Part 1 of my ADCS series: hierarchy decisions you're stuck with for 15 years, template hardening against ESC attacks, revocation that won't ruin your Monday. HSM — not optional. Built on the shoulders of @Crypt32 and Uwe Gradenegger. 🔗 bencoremans.nl/blog/2026/03/3… #PKI #ADCS #CyberSecurity

@Crypt32 Thanks Vadims! That's exactly the angle - not another standard deployment guide, but the why behind the decisions that lock you in for 15 years. Your work has been the north star for understanding what actually matters versus what the lab teaches. Appreciate the encouragement!

@bencoremans Sounds an interesting reading, not another 84577th "my step-by-step 2-tier setup"? Topics you selected appear to be challenging which require reasonable justification to make design decision. Keep posting!

@DavidOndrej1 You’re late

@tuncerdeniz @openclaw Not seeing this, but still working on stuff. Describe awful?

Is it just me or is ChatGPT 5.4 awful at responding to instructions in Discord with @openclaw? Had to switch back to Sonnet 4.6 for now. Any ideas @steipete?

@TouchlineX This is much better because it favours the attacker. Football is about goals, and the rules need to favour scoring more goals to make it more attractive to the public.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Arsene's Wenger new offside rule has been APPROVED and will be used in the Canadian Premier League! A player will ONLY be offside if he has FULLY passed the last defender, so it won't be decided based on a body part anymore. If succesful, the offside rule could change across the entire world from the 2027/28 season on.

Running OpenClaw on a cheap Hostinger VPS? You're probably exposed right now. 17,500+ instances scanned and vulnerable. Plaintext creds, brute-force SSH attacks in <20 min.

Dit wordt onvermijdelijk. Ik weet niet wat hier nog tegen te doen is. Ik ben nu bezig met een persoonlijk project met clawbot-agents. Ongelofelijk wat er mogelijk is. Ik maak me enorme zorgen om heel veel mensen. In de politiek gaat het over migratie, maar dit is vele malen groter.

Wat je ook van AI vindt of denkt, onderstaande is zeker food for thought.

@MaartenVerheyen Je hamert terecht op niet genoeg energie voor AI (en geen glut in zicht 🙈). Maar met agents die 24/7 capaciteit vreten, lijkt die $200B bij Amazon me meer noodzaak dan gok om de vraag bij te benen. Waarom denk je dat de ROI toch te onzeker blijft?

Amazon heeft sinds dag één $250 miljard aan winsten geaccumuleerd op de balans en gaat dit jaar $200 miljard investeren in AI Al deze techbedrijven gaan all-in op AI, zonder duidelijk zicht op return on investment.

Hey Dan, daily viewer here. I watch your videos every single day. I’m 100% with you on this. You’re killing it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Let them hate and obsess over the price action… we’re focused on the real drivers and fundamentals. In the end we win. Stay strong man 💪📈

Honestly, I hardly enjoy creating crypto content anymore. And it has nothing to do with price action. Endless rude comments simply because I think we’re at the end of a bear market, and not at the beginning of one. I can no longer have my macro bull outlook for this space without being called names everyday. Not one person ever politely proposes how my macro thesis consisting of DXY, policy, PMI, and the business cycle is wrong. It’s just hate. Constantly being talked down to like I’m some terrible person for being bullish on this emerging tech called crypto. Get offline dudes! Take a breather. I spend endless hours presenting real macroeconomic data to present my bull case. While doing this, I respect every bear and do not go around antagonizing anyone. I’m just trying to track my crypto journey and grow with this space. Through the ups and downs. Why can’t I have my bull thesis and you can have you bear thesis? Why does this always get so personal and nasty with people? Is this a contest? I don’t get it.

@Krispijnpunt Ga jij de stekkers eruit trekken @Krispijnpunt?

Fuck Elon Musk.

@Alan_Couzens It's all about habits, also on social media.

With that said, I'm going to be spending more time on the #MADcrew forum and less here. It's becoming readily apparent that this place simply isn't good for your long-term physical or mental health... forum.madcrew.app/t/social-media…

@xai @grok I accidentally started a new chat while active inside a Project folder on grok.com, so it got automatically linked to that project. Now there's no visible option to unlink or remove it from the project — only delete, move to another project, or pin show up in the three-dot menu. The chat appears in both main history and the project, but unlinking isn't possible anywhere. Projects aren't even shown in the mobile app. Is this a bug, or is there a hidden way to detach it? Would really appreciate help or a fix!

@rijk_bob Heel goed, gewoon „links” laten liggen.

Lieve forum-stemmers. Ik merk dat wij accounts die negatief over forum spreken teveel boosten. Het zijn veelal schimmige aanvallen, die niet te verdedigen zijn. Verdachtmakingen op basis van personen die “fout” zouden zijn of abstracties als het zijn antisemieten/fascisten/racisten. Aantijgingen van mensen die in hokjes denken, zwart-wit denkers zijn. Het gaat niet over de inhoud van de partij en de koers die we met Nederland willen varen. Daarom ga ik geen olie meer op het vuur gooien bij repeterende aanvallen van @wierdduk en @BartNijman en consorten. Het levert toch niets op. Ze pakken er een eental rare reacties uit om te scoren en gaan verder geen enkele dialoog aan.
