I’m working on self-hosting my own LLMs.

I realized there are things I wanna talk about and research but I don’t want to send it to open AI. Frankly I feel gross about how much I’ve sent to open AI. My desktop is a beefy gaming rig that I don’t use for gaming much. I have a 20thread core, 64gb ram, an Nvidia gtx 3060 and 5 spare TB so why not.

• I keep a few ollama models downloaded and I’m slowly getting to know them and what they can do. Gemma seems to answer the fastest so I’ve been using that. Deepseek is like the reasoning button on chatgpt.
• I use openai-whisper to transcribe meetings I record using OBS. It’s really slow so I have a cronjob transcribe all my meetings for that day overnight.
• Open Web UI is a fantastic LLM frontend. It provides tools, rags, web searching, and model ranking all as a simple to use UI.
• My desktop has a Wireguard server which makes it easy to use my OpenWebUI on my phone.

Now I want to work on giving the LLM access to my Google calendar so it can create reminders for me. I’m sick of forgetting to think about remembering to do things so I hope if I can just ramble at the LLM about what I’m doing or what’s on my mind it can organize my thoughts. What else are these LLM actually for?

It’s pronounced “Ich habe nur Befehle befolgt”

Nix is just across the street sipping tea because it understands what it is and is at peace with the chaotic world around it.

Can I ask who even clicks on these Google ads? Who is making Google ads valuable by interacting with them?

My phone number was owned by a non-for-profit, and I’m still getting their calls 5-6 years later. Google Pixel phones have a phone-bot that picks up calls, introduces itself as a bot and asks you why you’re calling. So I just posted my phone number on my website to make sure people don’t think that it’s still the nfp

🤔 that’s not a bad idea

Saving PDFs and copying from one file to another

yt-dlp is still alive, well and actively developed. It can now target abunch of different platforms.

I’m not permanently banned, I was temporarily banned for a bullshit reason and when I got my account back I went scorched earth then closed my account. Fuck reddit

The egg… laid by a bird that wasn’t a chicken

Neil D Tyson

The explanation goes as follows:

Since any offspring is never going to be 100% genetically similar to its parent, eventually an offsprings genome will mutate into what we humans would classify as a chicken within our “scientific” definitions.

Imo the concept of a chicken is an illusion. It’s a bird thing that I can eat, and sometimes they’re really nice and lay eggs, that’s what a chicken is.

Resting your eyes means going back to sleep

This is why we Jews know not to manufacture life

What do they mean “help”? Does this mean that they’re going to have to suffer with the consequences of paying devs?

Makes it easier to distribute and set up

Maybe a bit of an edge case but I use a wallet case and I still carry a credit card. Wireless chargers have cooked my credit card a few times… and nfc Google pay doesn’t always work.

Then I’d delete my old phone number account and start fresh… not exactly the best option but all things considered you might have too

So you’re right… To an extent… I usually say I’m making a new button when I’m figuring out an alias.

I guess a better way to express my point is that I’m not geared for interpreting graphics to tell what a button is supposed to do, nor am I cool with needing to press the same buttons in order multiple times.

On the CLI, all the buttons are named with (impo) meaningful names, and I can combine them into new just-as-accessable buttons whenever I want for free! It might align more with my working frustrations, I hate dragging my eyes over the same text/iconography every time I wanna do something, I want it to just ‘happen’. I need a user interface that can react to me faster than I can think and to achieve that I just limit my UI to exactly what I want and I keep it easy for me to expand as I need it.

Signal recently implemented “usernames” instead of phone numbers

Imo I don’t memorize commands. Everything on my zsh is so aliased that I don’t think I can teach someone else how to use any other cli.

It just turned into me telling the machine what I want it to do and let it figure out how to rather than me do every little button click step.
