Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].

I’m like “what’d we ever do to you?”

Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.

I pirated a certain ‘crash cars and shoot’em up’ game because, even though I own it on Steam, the gameplay (especially the launcher) absolutely sucks.

No more automatically downloading online content when I don’t even play online and no more updates breaking my mods. It’s worked out so well that I’m looking at pirating other games I already own.

I kind of feel the same way. When someone is offering service in exchange for pay, it signals that they’re serious about this and see it as a part time job at least, as opposed to someone just doing it as a hobby or just for a learning experience.

In my search I found 3 that offer multiple services for a single donation/subscription:

• Neat.Computer - Their terms of service weren’t strong enough for me
• Tromsite.com - I didn’t like their Peertube upload policy
• Tchncs.de - The one I ended up joining.

I really wanted a smaller instance, but I just couldn’t find one that I was happy with.

Not even making a basic attempt to put a shopping cart away properly.

1. Saying “It begs the question…”
2. Saying “3 times smaller than” instead of “1/3rd as large”
3. Parking anywhere outside of a marked parking space.
4. Pajama pants and/or flip flops outside your yard.
5. Assuming someone else’s job is easy just because they make less money than you “Just push the button with the Whopper on it, how hard is that?”
6. Saying “All [of any profession] are bastards”
7. Most of what everyone else has already said here.

Bonus: Asking someone why they installed a different distro on their Steam Deck. Why the absolute fuck do you care?

You haven’t heard about wearable servers? C’mon get with the times! I’m headed out for a jog now, gotta keep my hashrate up!

vlemmy disappeared (alternate link) a few weeks ago with out a trace or any explaination. FMHY’s domain was confiscated by the government of Mali.

That’s especially a problem since people absolutely don’t want to see ads, they don’t like the idea of a coin/reward system, and generally don’t contribute (less than 1 out of 20 ppl donate, and that’s being generous)

In addition to what the others have said, we’ve lost some big and popular instances (Vlemmy, FMHY and others) along with the communities they had. Also, with the 2 biggest (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) coming under attack every week, some users want to be on a smaller instance that’s under the radar.

Finally, people want to choose an instance that fits their interests/beliefs. I chose mine mainly for what they don’t allow and who they’re defederated from, but to each his own.
