Linux

This is Part 1 of a three-part series on running, benchmarking, and scaling local coding agents. In Part 2, we benchmark this setup across 640 public trials and 280 private trials on a production Go monorepo, including Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, local Qwen, and two hosted models. In Part 3, we build and test the specialized llama-moe-cache fork to run 177B Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on desktop hardware.

I wanted a capable local reasoning model for coding agents on my workstation, but my GPU is a standard desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM. The weights would not all fit in VRAM, so I needed a setup that could offload them.

I use big LLMs to draft blog posts and LinkedIn posts. They help with research and structure, but I still spend time rewriting them to sound like me. Every draft comes out with the same polished, slightly corporate voice, and even after I edit it by hand, something of that voice stays in the text. There is actually research confirming this: a 2026 study on post-editing found that even when humans edit LLM drafts, the result stays measurably closer to LLM style than to the author’s own writing.

Yesterday I encountered a nasty surprise after upgrading Hyprland to version 0.46.2—it crashed on startup, leaving me unable to log into my Wayland session. If you’re experiencing this problem, here’s a temporary workaround so you can keep working until a fix arrives.

The Issue

Hyprland 0.46.2 appears to crash immediately upon launch, preventing you from getting into your usual tiling window manager environment.

Update Dec 29 2024: hyprutils-git Caused Compatibility Issues

After some further digging, I discovered my Hyprland crash was caused by the AUR hyprutils-git package. I had previously switched to hyprutils-git from the AUR because I was also using hyprpolkitagent-git. Because of this, the entire Hyprland ecosystem ended up depending on the hyprutils-git package, which broke compatibility with the stable release of Hyprland in the last few updates.

Hyprland is not just a tiling window manager; it’s a gateway to a highly customized and efficient Linux environment. In this second part of our guide, let’s explore some advanced features for your Hyprland setup.

In the previous part, we’ve covered the basics of setting up and configuring Hyprland. We’ve done a lot of work, and it would be a shame to lose it. So, first, let’s start by saving our configurations using GNU Stow in a GitHub repository.

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling window manager built for the modern Wayland display server protocol. This guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up Hyprland on your Linux system.

Why Wayland?

First and foremost, performance and reduced input lag. Wayland is a modern replacement for X11, and it has much cleaner architecture, better application separation, and improved HiDPI hardware support.

What is a Tiling Window Manager and Why Should I Care?

So, a tiling window manager, as opposed to a floating window manager, organizes your windows in a non-overlapping, grid-like pattern. It will give you a superhuman ability to fly through your windows and workspaces with hotkeys and improve your productivity.

The problem:

A week ago, after some update(not really sure which one), I faced a very frustrating issue: I could not start my android emulator(AVD) anymore. It failed with a not very informative error:

Few days ago my Debian jessie package update(e.g. apt-get upgrade) start failing with following message:

Sometimes you need to install the latest and greatest kernel image on you Debian testing installation. In most cases that is to support some newer hardware piece, or to get latest features. You have two choices here: You can either compile it from sources, or you can just take it from the Debian experimental repository. There are plenty guides online on how to build you kernel from sources, so we won’t go into it.

This is a very old post and you probably should not bee reading this, because it is deprecated. But if you insist, suit yourself.

Due to missing 32 bit libraries installation eclipse adt bundle fails to run on x64 Debian installation. This is how you can fix this:

How to install Android ADT Bundle dependencies:

1. Download ADT Bundle from d.android.com
2. Open terminal and run as root:

```
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk ia32-libs lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 
unzip adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219.zip</pre>
