I’d also wager the proportion of human users is much higher on Lemmy.

But in addition to what happened to Yahoo, Meta’s platforms also use the network effect to keep users. Once the tide turns and the network effect is stronger elsewhere the userbase may quickly evaporate, like what happened to MySpace.

Pick a different scapegoat; Apple’s one of the better ones in this area

High-speed is actually low-speed, got it

I’m still trying out combinations of hardware and models, but even my old Intel 8500T CPU will run around reading speed with a stock version of Meta’s Llama 3.2 3b (maybe the one you tried) with mostly good output—fine for rewriting content, answering questions about uploaded document stores etc.

There are thousands of models tuned for various purposes, so one of the key questions is your purpose. If you want to use your setup for something specific (e.g., coding SQL) you are going to be able to find a much more efficient model.

So what exactly is linktree?

A tree leaves leaves like a cow calves calves.

And then there was Jimmy Carter.

Ollama and Open WebUI, as far as I know, are just open source software projects created to run pre-trained models, and have the same business model as many other open source projects on Github.

The models themselves come from Google, Meta and others. Have a look at all the models available on Hugging Face. The models themselves are just binary files. They’ve been trained and there are no ongoing costs to use them apart from energy your computer uses to run them.

I run Ollama with Open WebUI at home.

A) the containers they run in by default can’t access the Internet, but they are provided access if we turn on web search or want to download new models. Ollama and Open WebUI are fairly popular products and I haven’t seen any evidence of nefarious activity so far.

B) they create a profile on me and my family members that use them, by design. We can add sensitive documents that the models can use.

C) they are restricted by what we type and the documents we provide.

Something like what Jeff Geerling does with this display perhaps.

I run both and most users still choose to watch via Plex. I’d like if Jellyfin took over, but it’s not there yet.

Is that what happened when things went Tapo? I’ve avoided Tapo so far

Maybe it’s keeping the roof frost free too…

Welcome to Lemmy, where the comments are made up and the points don’t matter

Your kid doesn’t sound like an asshole, so IMO all good.

Dumb fucks.

I’m on a XR and have the option.

FWIW I run only very small databases e.g., sqlite ones shipped with applications, but haven’t had any problems in about a year now, and nothing that wasn’t recoverable from backup.

Correct, I run docker on a compute host that has no local storage. The host’s disks are on iSCSI LUNs.
