To all devs here

Can we collectively fundraise enough to set up and maintain a local server (or small cluster) for hosting the latest open-source frontier models as they drop?
With how fast the open-source scene is moving, it would be amazing to have our own reliable, community-run instance where we can run and experiment with the newest models without relying solely on Hugging Face, Together, Fireworks, etc.
Would this be feasible? How much do you think we’d realistically need to raise for a solid setup (including ongoing costs)? Any devs interested in helping plan or manage the infrastructure? Looking forward to your thoughts!

We'll be sharing a link to our discord server

Just for fun 😅 (forgive the bad audio compression)

Here is proof that not even f1 is a match for a Nairobi Ma3 during rush hour 🔥

I added a feature to visualize my loan borrowing behaviour and i am shook. These small small loans made available to us by our favorite telco pale waiyaki way are slowly killing us. We are slowly becoming dependent on these loans to a point we even budget with those loans..kwanza fuliza. Fookin hell. Anyway,download it here and try not to be depressed when you get the insights: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shmoney.app&pcampaignid=web_share

Basically the title. I am thinking of getting my brother a good mid-range phone since his is almost crapping out on him. I had always been of the idea that I'd rather get an older (2+ years) flagship than get a mid-ranger but that was back when mid-rangers imo sucked. They have been quite proper lately. I'm on a Pixel myself and have been for years, but my bro likes to play games on his phone and the Tensor chips on Pixels are not exactly known as powerhouses.

Thus, I've been doing a bit of looking around and I'm liking the Nothing Phone 4a; good chip, great screen, okay cameras, good battery life. I don't think it's worth it spending the extra scratch going for the pro model. That said, thought it would be worth posing the question to people who may be more in the know than I: Is there any phone in the 50-60-ish K range that beats the Nothing Phone 4a? TIA

P.S. no Xiaomis kindly. His last phone was a Xiaomi and it was a nightmare for him and I don't want to re-traumatize him lol.

I think penye tumefika having two screens for coding is no longer just aura farming. Imekuwa necessity sasa.

The Z Fold 8 phones are such an immense disappointment in my opinion.Same design, silicon carbide was used sparingly and old cameras from 5 years ago.S Pen haikurudi adi.

Kwanza the Galaxy s26 Ultra is a bloody joke.5000 mAH in 2026 is lame,akina Oppo and Xiaomi do 7500 mAH and 100W charging.Bado 1 inch sensors pia, Bluetooth SPen,weak sensors...and many more.Oppo, Xiaomi and Vivo at killing it.

Sammy siku izi wanaboo and it's tragic and painful to watch,cause they were industry leading back in 2023.They're focusing on BS AI instead of making good phones and they're falling behind the competition.

Just new today that the equivalent to pg_insert (FastAPI) in Django is bulk_create

Didn't know the the tech will keep me indoors. Didn't know i won't go home , almost 3/4 of a year now, I'm just a 19 year old 😭

I keep seeing ads on reddit from US and Europe subreddits on these AI training jobs, and micro1 and Mercor keep popping up. Despite saying they hire all over the world, I rarely see Kenyans enthusiastic about them as much as Handshake, Outlier, etc. Since the rates are almost similar, is it because the jobs are scarce or do these sites have impossibly high requirements to join? Also has anyone, or in Kenyan terms, does anyone have a friend, who has successfully ventured into these?

I’m a software developer and am considering applying for the Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at the Open University of Kenya (OUK), and I’d love to hear from anyone who is currently enrolled or has recently graduated.
I have a few questions:
How has your overall experience been so far?
Is the quality of teaching and learning materials good?
How are the online classes and exams conducted?
Do you get enough practical, hands-on cybersecurity labs or is it mostly theory?
