I have always suspected it’s a minor bit of public misdirection to keep the stray cat population down in North America. Other parts of the world have much larger numbers of outdoor cats and their bird populations are no worse off.

I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

How did you integrate ollama with it? That sounds like an interesting setup.

They offer a genuinely good product and I think it’s important to support companies that sell a good product rather than their customers’ info.

I paid $5 for a couple of years but eventually stopped because I kept running out of searches after a few weeks. $10 a month for a search engine is excessive but 300 searches a month is too limiting.

We’re talking self hosting, not an enterprise setup. Industry best practices and layers of defense mitigation are not realistic expectations for something like a media server that is only intended to be accessed by the owner and maybe a couple other people.

Llama.cpp running qwen 3.8 on a mini PC with 32GB ddr5 ram and 8GB vram. Not the most speedy but it works. I only really access it while at home but I’m also set up with tailscale.

I couldn’t agree more. There is a long list of valid reasons to hate on AI and the industry but AI = slop barely makes it onto the list anymore.

Dynamic dns is what you need. Only takes a few minutes to set up

Not to mention it was an issue kernel developers had spent 2 years trying to solve unsuccessfully.

Linus accepting AI now says more about how far the technology has come than anything else. AI today is not the same as AI a year ago.

No one is fully present 100% of the time. We’ve all missed things that were right in front of us. Give people some grace - you’ve gotten it yourself many times without realizing.

Eh I much prefer the clean look. The older design looks cluttered and a bit tacky to me.
