Glassed Silver

It started when I was a lot younger and wanted to redesign my room from mostly wood to a more modern (call it "appleish") concept with a lot of glass, white, silver and some black.

I liked how it turned out and also during the days when making the plans I came up with the idea to look for a new username to go with my new personal style.

I wanted something unique and I like the physical weirdness of Silver being "glassed".

@Astra.Xtreme:

I see you like Opel / Vauxhall! :p

Excellent, me approves.

We've had Opels for ages and I liked them.

One of them was a former police car! :shiftyninja:

The gun boxes in the front doors were "civilized" to be big store away boxes -> that was quite kicka** as I always adored a bunch of pockets and boxes around me :laugh:

Back years ago when I was a mod here, there wa another mod named Sanctified :)

At that time, I had the name finalcut as username. And one day, Sanctified decided that I should rename Pink Floyd hehe. I had nothing to say and he decided to change it :D

Well as for my actual username, I guess I don't need to explain the meaning :p

nb.: thanks sanc!

The first time I had to sign up for something I was playing the game MegaTravellar. The first release of the game, which I had, it had Traveller misspelled as Travellar, which I thought was cool and unique, so I adopted it. Later shortened to Travelar when I had an 8 character limit on Unix systems. it just kind of stuck over the years.

When I first signed up for dial-up in the mid 90's I had to choose an account name. Monkey Island was on my desk so I chose monkey. Apparently 12 other people has already done that so I got monkey13.

Used it ever since. For a while people thought it was to do with 12 Monkeys but it is just that I'm too lazy to change it and I've never thought up a good replacement.

From your logo, you must be a fan of "The Prisoner".

Do you know who "Number One" is? It is in the series...Episodes 12 and the Last one.

I picked "gary owen" from the Irish drinking song used by the 7th Cav.

I was in a different cav unit.

The "006" is for comical effect. It is actually an inverted "9OO".

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it by Usama Jawad Anthropic has been in the headlines a lot lately, primarily due to its latest revenue and valuation figures, along with its release of its state-of-the-art (SOTA) Fable model. While its flagship product, Claude, may be very popular among millions of users, a lot of them are now reporting memory issues when using the tool. Over on Claude Code's GitHub repository, an issue raised in February has been gaining traction once again. Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. This happens on each launch of Claude Code even if you plan to use the tool in chat mode only. Several users have upvoted this bug and stated that it's happening on their machine as well. However, it seemingly affects only Claude desktop users on Windows, not customers of the CLI or any other platform. Once the bug is triggered, it also shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating CPU usage of 0% and RAM utilization of a whopping ~1.8GB. Claude users complain that this process should only spin up when you explicitly launch agent mode or Cowork in Claude, with session files efficiently cleaned up after use. Additionally, they are calling for Claude to gracefully handle the absence of virtual machine-based infrastructure, without compromising on chat performance. It's unclear when this issue originated or what the root cause behind it is, but people are once again actively engaging in the GitHub thread as well as Hacker News. You can also find other technical details and log events over on GitHub. It's unclear if Anthropic will look into this issue, especially since it's already been reported for a few months. However, the bug is also causing major annoyance for users, with many claiming that it has led them to uninstall Claude Code on desktop, as a concrete workaround is not yet known.
