When on your wifi, try navigating in your browser to your windows computer’s address with a colon and the port 11434 at the end. Would look something like this:

http://192.168.xx.xx:11434/

If it works your browser will just load the text: Ollama is running

From there you just need to figure out how you want to interact with it. I personally pair it with OpenWebUI for the web interface

Using Ollama depends a lot on the equipment you run - you should aim to have at least 12gb of VRAM/unified memory to run models. I have one copy running in a docker container using CPU on Linux and another running on the GPU of my windows desktop so I can give install advice for either OS if you’d like

I’m actually right there with you, I have a 3060 12gb and tbh I think it’s the absolute most cost effective GPU option for home use right now. You can run 14B models at a very reasonable pace.
Doubling or tripling the cost and power draw just to get 16-24gb doesn’t seem worth it to me. If you really want an AI-optimized box I think something with the new Ryzen Max chips would be the way to go - like an ASUS ROG Z-Flow, Framework Desktop or the GMKtek option whatever it’s called. Apple’s new Mac Minis are also great options. Both Ryzen Max and Apple make use of shared CPU/GPU memory so you can go up 96GB+ at much much lower power draws.

Mine so far seems to be hardware as it fails when the phone gets hot, and works if I restart once it’s cooled off

Sony is even worse than ASUS in regards to length of software and security updates. It hasn’t been a deal breaker for me, but I have a Xperia 5 III and at only 3.5 years I am beginning to have issues with my fingerprint reader.
Apparently it’s a fairly widespread issue that moisture can get in the edges and degrade the backing, and they are still to this day using the same fingerprint reader design. I’m pretty irritated about it. I feel like I could get at least another year out of this phone otherwise, but it’s surprisingly annoying to have to go back to passwords for app logins.

They didn’t even use WhatsApp or signal, they were literally plain unencrypted texting

SSO is single sign on, so you don’t need individual username and password for every service. It’s a bit more advanced so don’t worry about it until you have what you want working properly for a while.

DNS is like the yellow pages of the internet - when you type www.google.com your computer uses a DNS server to look up what actual IP address corresponds to the website name. The point of Adguard or pihole is that when a website tries to load an ad your custom DNS server just says it doesn’t recognize the address

Check out Cosmos, I struggled piecing things together but when I restarted from scratch with this as the base is has been SO much easier to get services working, while still being able to see how things work under the hood.

It’s basically a docker manager with integrated reverse proxy and OpenID SSO capability, with optional VPN and storage management

I’m sorry, bike lanes piss you off?

This has some details of Azerbaijan distancing themselves

I haven’t used any but have researched it some:
Minisforum DEG1 looks like the most polished option, but you’d have to add an m.2 to oculink adapter and cable.
ADT-Link makes a wide variety of kits as well with varying pcie gen and varying included equipment.

While I’ve heard mostly good stuff about Nothing, I noticed an interesting tidbit about early investors on Wikipedia:

raised $7 million from investors including Tony Fadell, Kevin Lin, Steve Huffman, and Casey Neistat.

Steve Huffman of Reddit fame, as a Lemmy denizen I’d say not ideal to be pouring more money in his pockets lol

Homebox has this capability too, you can generate QR codes for assets and scan it later to identify whatever’s inside.

The current version does have the ability to create QR codes for your assets and scan them later for identification, but I don’t know of a way to scan a new item and identify it automatically.

I think it becomes more useful as you accumulate stuff - I get frustrated when my wife buys crap on Amazon that we already have. So while I don’t have the time or energy to sort everything in our house, I am beginning to catalogue things as we buy or find them in the hope it becomes more useful over time to find things we rarely use and/or avoid re-buying excess items

https://a.co/d/hh2N98y Something as simple as that, though I’m not sure 5v/3a is enough for a pi5 you’d have to check power specs

I would especially advise against relying on battery banks due to the heat, if you’re just going to use it in the car and already going to the trouble of customizing so much hardware I’d find a way to run a power supply off a switched 12v fuse or wire from the car - just convert to 5v/USB power. I’m sure there are generic kits online

You know, my thumbnails load super slow on my phone but your comment made me think I should check where the thumbnails are located. First though I noticed I had this setting on, after disabling it they now load almost instantly:

My setup is exactly what you’re aiming for: Immich and it’s database resides on the main SSD while the photos and videos are uploaded to my NAS using NFS shares and a bind mount to /mnt/
I run Cosmos Cloud so the manner in which it’s implemented may be slightly different to your setup.

It isnt the snappiest experience loading media off the HDD’s but it’s been very reliable.

While you are right that the V20’s implementation was limited use, it added an ease of interaction with notifications and controls you mentioned.

I’d argue a 10% screen share implementation is limited use as well though. The article even spends a lot of time talking about how you can’t see much on that sliver of screen, it’s just an easy way to swap between apps - which we can already do by double tapping the square button.
