The Battery Drain That Started it All it all started with a simple question: why does WhatsApp drain my battery so much? Turns out it's not a bug - it's the business model. WhatsApp keeps background channels open to Meta's servers, harvesting data even when you've disabled notifications and background refresh. Even force-closing barely helps because the app exploits RAM persistence to keep sucking resources. The only solution? Treat WhatsApp like radioactive material: no notifications, no backgr…

# i can haz fix again! ## Session Summary **Date:** July 5, 2026 **Issue:** [ggml-org/llama.cpp#20305](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/20305) **Branch:** `ali0une-fixes` --- ## Discovery The bug was discovered while running the `translategemma-12B-Instruct` model through the llama.cpp router. The server would fail at startup with: ``` common_chat_verify_template: failed to apply template: While executing CallExpression at line 601, column 31 in source: Error: Jinja Except…

# i can haz more fix! ## Session Summary **Date:** June 30, 2026 **Issue:** [ggml-org/llama.cpp#25023](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/25023) **Branch:** `ali0une-fixes` --- ## Discovery The bug was discovered while analyzing `llama.cpp-router.log` from a long-running agent workflow. The server had context checkpoints configured with `min spacing = 1024`, but actual checkpoint spacings revealed the bypass: ``` Observed spacings: 2, 25, 75, 85, 92, 112, 130, 135, 150, 160,…

Never used the cloud models so can't tell about that. My humble experience with llama.cpp + pi agent + Qwen3.6-27B + 3090 24Go VRAM and a codebase of a bit more than 130k is: if you have a workflow where you first draft a PLAN.md then make the model review it, update it with a few iterations adding comments in it like <!-- USER: keep this file untouched --> and implement it Phase by Phase in a git repository it works pretty fine and you can achieve huge amount of work be it refactoring, fixing…
