It’s the biggest hummingbird bath I’ve ever seen.

What sucks is getting older and having a hard time hearing dialog. I can hear everything else fine but dialog is becoming harder to discern every year.

Grousing is a revolt?

:) Yeah I realized that after I hit send. I have been using clonezilla for years. It’s my favorite way to do full backups.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to dig into this. I have no qualms about pulling my HD from the laptop and cloning it, so I should be able to try a bunch of different methods until it works.

For the stuff I need to do on my laptop, RDP is all I need so it can sit on a server in the basement waiting for me to start it up when I need it.

Back in the early 2000’s I started playing with Linux on old machines and have used Linux on an off since. Now I only have one Windows laptop that I need for a few very specific things and it’s Linux for any backend stuff. I’ve got pi’s, nucs and a NAS, all Linux now.

I am so grateful for all the hard work people have put in over the last two decades making sure we can step away from Windows without having to go to the Apple or Chrome walled gardens. I’ve made a career working in the Microsoft stack and I’m so done with them.

Now if I could just figure out how to turn my windows laptop into a VM on my ProxMox machine.

I’ve been running birdnetpi on a raspberry pi 3 for years. It runs very well on this modest hardware. I also run birdnet-go in a docker container and use my reolink security cameras for the RSTP audio feed to that instance.

There are all sorts of AI/ML models available that can run on smaller hardware. But they are usually very specific and not general purpose, like the LLMs.

But if you had said that about antifa, you would have been fine.

That was my line in the sand until I was banned for liking a comment and not told which comment it was.

I hope I didn’t come off as complaining about degoog. I’m definitely not. degoog is awesome.

Thanks for the advice about the proxies. I’ll be looking into that as I continue to work on keeping prying eyes off our internet usage. I suspect this will be a never ending struggle for the rest of my life.

It seems that both google and reddit block requests coming from my VPN provider(PIA). I may have to set up my own VPN server using Azure or AWS if things keep going this way.

Thanks for this! I included degoog in my arr stack and it works great! I was surprised by the language support when I pointed my gluetun container to an an Italian exit node. But it’s very well documented and the language environment variable was easy to set. Nice!

Getting this working within minutes of reading this post felt like opening an unexpected present. I love it.

It’s not just corruption. Conservatives are violent in their speech and actions. Consider that back when the Iran nuclear deal was being negotiated everyone who objected to the treaty were conservatives. The conservatives of the US, UK, Europe, Iran and Israel. It was the liberals around the globe that were waging peace.

It just so happens that the GOP is so corrupt

It’s no accident.

Shame you’ve got an idiot rampaging through the world markets for a relative pittance (but actual fortune) from insider trading. Who would have thought that’d go badly long term.

Ironically, it may actually be Trump who brings about the rapid global adoption of EVs and renewable energy because of his stupid war with Iran and his tariffs. The rest of the world is fed up with having to rely on fossil fuels and they are dramatically ramping up both EV adoption as well as renewable energy.

I get the feeling that the US and Russia will be the last countries to fully adopt electric vehicles.

Meanwhile Trump is paying companies in the US to shutter wind turbine projects.

Thanks for this. I’m definitely dropping ollama now. No wonder GGUF models always gave me issues.

I might even dump open webui for llama.cpp’s webui
