Man, I haven’t used pidgin in almost 20 years. Throwback, or whatever the kids say these days.

Very similar, but I’m using Gemma4 12b. I could run 26b but that would exhaust my vram after a short interaction. And ollama. Open WebUI + Home Assistant hooked up with it, a couple very basic scripts I threw together, and connected to Kagi.

I’m trying to get my folks off the Gemini/Google bandwagon for the privacy aspect, but also because it’s just cool from a tech geek perspective. For me, any questions throughout the day that I want info on, but not enough to do a deep-dive for an hour+, gets fed to Steve, my models name. Or I’ll use it as a springboard and then properly read the citations for more info. And I feed it HA automations when I get stuck scratching my head on an edge case or whatever - it’s alright but helps me explain what I want from the automation, and when it understands my goal, great, and when it doesn’t I reflect on what I have setup and can usually go ‘ah ha’ and fix the issue. It’s like a rubber ducky/pair programmer that you can both think is an idiot sometimes, but it doesn’t judge you when you’re the idiot.

…I dare you to give it a taste test

I have a server that I wanted to do this with, and cpu-only interference was several minutes for pretty simple tasks (all text, couple of sentences). I shelled out the cash for a 5060 Ti 16GB earlier this summer, and even with a pcie 3 x16 slot running at x4, I’m down to 5-30 second responses and rapid output speeds, even with large conversations. But the initial prompt/loading is still a couple of minutes by itself, so I leave the model in vram always.

Do make sure that you can eventually get back in after testing, though. Sure, it’s safer when even you can’t access it, but… :p

I went from Dockge to Dockhand, though both are good. Dockge was my UI of choice for the last couple of years, so slim and simple. I tried Dockhand on a whim and the extra features won me over, without having a bazillion buttons and confusing UI.

Now now don’t sshush the server, it’s doing the best it can, okay? It gets hot in that box…

The gun is for the printer if it tries its bullshit one more time

I was under the impression that they preferred to be referred to as ‘skinnies’. We are all flesh, after all… well except protogen…

It’s not matrix-based, but: Haven. It’s what I setup the… second? third? time discord had burned their users. The only thing missing for me is Xbox support, as several of my social circle are console gamers. But for pc users, it’s got everything I need.

Yeah

Plex was the reason why I learned Docker + watchtower, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about updates (work smarter not harder). Now I have like 35 containers and am comfortable with docker. 🐳

Because it works. Call me in a few years when movies, TV shows, dvr recordings, live TV (with free, built-in guide support), and working picture support shows up. Oh, commercial removal too (again, built-in, just check a box). A not-shit setup process would be nice, too.

I’ve tried jf three times now across as many years, and it’s still got that ‘Linux developer feel’ of a tool where the devs got what they need the most mostly-working, and just don’t give a fuck about anything else - or a decent UI. No, blue boxes on a black background is not a decent UI. It wasn’t when W8 launched, and it’s not now. And when W8 is winning the competition, you’ve already lost.

Feature parity or the argument is moot.

Do you mean the Facebook thing? I tried to Google the internet from the Facebooks and it didn’t work. I called Comcast and I told them the problem and now I have 400 TV channels. They took your computer box, said it was bad for security. Something about shredding it. Anyway, can you get the internet to Google for me?
