I have different technical questions I want to ask. I went to Stack Overflow and they blocked registration with a VPN. It’s really fucking annoying. I can buy a residential IP to bypass this, but I’d rather just not use these enshitified platforms that are so hostile to VPNs.

Is there any decent alternative to Stack Overflow? I have tried getting AI answers to the technical question but they are not good.

And no, I can’t just create a github ID using VPN to login, they block github logins based on IP also.

    So try again… in a couple of hours…

    Why would that make a difference? It’s a local model right?

      If it is local only, then waiting probably won’t help.

      Another thought for you: pip behaves much better inside a virtual environment - using the Python venv module, or uv.

      The instructions you have shared so far look more compatible with venv.
