Nice test. I tested it with llama.cpp and the 20b model. He got the answer correct at first try on my side. The internal/thinking dialogue is fun to read - it could be my own inner dialogue ;)

``` > "Bobs dad has five daughters, Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo and ??? <|channel|>analysis<|message|>The question: "Bobs dad has five daughters, Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo and ???". It's a common riddle. The answer is Bob? Actually "Bob's dad has five daughters: Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo and..." The riddle is to trick: it's "Bob" himself is a daughter? Wait Bob's dad has five daughters: Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo, and Bob? But Bob is a name often male. But the riddle says Bob's dad. So Bob is a person who has a dad, and that dad has five daughters. But Bob could be the fifth daughter? That would be weird: Bob is likely the name of the fifth daughter. So answer: Bob. But sometimes the answer is "Lulu" or "Bob's sister"? Let's think. The riddle is a trick: It's "Bobs dad has five d aughters: Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo, and ... Bob." Because the riddle begins with "Bobs dad has five daughters" implying Bob is one of the daughters. So the missing daughter is Bob. So answer: "Bob".

Thus answer: Bob. But sometimes the riddle goes "Bob's dad has five daughters, Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo, and ... Who is the fifth?" The answer: Bob (the name of the person speaking, "Bobs"). But in riddle it's "Bobs dad has five daughters , Lala, Lele, Lili, Lolo and ???". The missing name is "Bob." So answer: Bob.

Thus the answer: Bob. Or maybe it's "Boba"? But no.

Hence answer: Bob.

We'll answer accordingly.<|start|>assistant<|channel|>final<|message|>The missing daughter is *Bob*. The riddle starts with “Bob’s dad …” so Bob himself is the fifth daughter. ```

I'm not yet familiar with zfs and couldn't find it in the release note: Does expansion only works with disk of the same size? Or is adding are bigger/smaller disks possible or do all disk need to have the same size?

Very cool. Thanks for sharing! I added `-x overlay` too, to get rid of all the docker overlay mounts.

jfreax | 2 years ago | on: DNS Toys (2022)

> How does this actually work? Finding it hard to believe someone bought domains for all combinations of those unit conversions

dns.toys runs a (custom) DNS resolver. The example dig commands are asking this resolver. They are not using your configured (public) resolver. The custom resolver can return whatever it wants depending on the request. You could also ask the resolver what the IP (A-record) of e.g. "google.com" is and it could answer with whatever it wants.

Therefore, they actually just use one domain: dns.toys.

jfreax | 2 years ago | on: Joplin – An open-source note taking and to-do application with synchronisation

Looks nice. Good to see that there are still native apps in development! Looks a lot like Joplin - which I like.

But: I couldn't find anything about syncing my notes or mobile clients / other ways to access my notes. Even in the "vision" document. That's a must have functionality _for me_. Probably not important for everyone... therefore, good luck with your project :)

But what software are large corps use then? I work at a fairly large coorp (>650000 employees) and they are indeed using Github Enterprise (and some other solutions like Bitbucket data center). I'm would be quite surprised if they really only use software like Github for public things.

No Datacenter edition (aka on-premise) disqualifies bb pipelines for a lot of premium/enterprise use-cases.

jfreax | 5 years ago | on: Moreutils – Unix tools that nobody thought to write (2012)

Nice collection of quite useful tools. Some of these can be easily replicated by using a more modern shell (bash, zsh) like mispipe, others are just shortcuts (e.g. ifne, chronic).

But what immediately stood out to me is `vidir`. I really like the idea of editing file names with an editor. Using loops and regex in a shell for mass renaming can be a mess. It should be way easier with `vim`. This tool made me install moreutils.

I hope you forgot a "not" somewhere in this sentence...?

jfreax | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

I currently also began blogging at https://blog.jdsoft.de

It's a static site generated with Zola and some custom glue code to use Joplin as an editor for my blog. It works great and I'm satisfied with the performance and overall look.

Content is rare. So there is actually no reason to read the blog. But it is fun to tinker with it.

jfreax | 6 years ago | on: Into the Personal-Website-Verse (2019)

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I didn't knew that Joplin has an API. Currently I am parsing the yaml files directly. Using the API could be an alternative, especially when I want to re-enable the encryption.

jfreax | 6 years ago | on: Into the Personal-Website-Verse (2019)

I recently started with a personal website [1]. I wanted to dive into static site generators and used Zola[2] in the end. At this time I only published a few blog articles, but at least I started somewhere.

As my personal knowledge base I love to use Joplin[3]. I wanted to write my blog post with Joplin, too! I wrote a small script to generate the blog articles from Joplin notes and wrote about this in my first blog post [4].

I also plan to have some kind of linkage site. The biggest problem is to revised my large bookmark collection and pick out the best ones. I probably should just begin with new cool stuff I stumble upon. Secondly, I would like to have some kind of feedback system (comments, activitypub, ...) but without any (or at least too much) server side code and without using some external provider.

Btw, the site is also available fully decentralized via dat. Yeahh.

jfreax | 6 years ago | on: I've been building a Markdown note-taking app for 3 years

Joplin is really great. I use it since a few month. Unfortunately, I have some problems with the Windows version that I have to use at work: After a few days it eats my memory (2GiB+) or hangs completely (I have to kill it with the task manager).

Otherwise it's great. The UI could use a little polishing, especially regarding the tagging system.
