@KayOhtie@blimps.xyz i'm in a venv, Python 3.14.3 pip 26.0.1, when downloading packages via pip install it them into /tmp before installing them, which causes my system to run OOM because some of the packages im installing are multiple gigabytes in size.

@blumlaut Ohhh wtf, that's absurdly dumb! I never noticed that, I thought it was working in a work dir within the venv! I wonder if --cache-dir is right then and it's running like --no-cache-dir for some garbage reason. I really should look into uv, it seems like that and poetry are what more folks are using now
