    p.s. Debian is great, I am just a "kind of new" void converted.

    • Chivalry 2 Developer Torn Banner Lays Off an Unknown Number of Devs

    Jump

  • All the money is gone in the flop. No more/enough cash flow for the cost of doing business. Layoff to cut the costs.

    Less resources to develop. The spiral of death.

    • Steam Survey Results For November 2024: Linux Gaming Marketshare Slightly Higher

    Jump

  • Error margin is the word here.

    • Technical ambition, optimism, and timeframes: what we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red

    Jump

  • I went for The Witcher 4 news, I got fed with corporate bullshit and cyberpunk things.

    0/10, would not recommend.

    • Announcing Faster, Lighter Firefox Downloads for Linux with .tar.xz Packaging!

    Jump

  • Wow, they are going to zip it with a different algo. That's fucking amazing!

    Faster installation, I don't know what I will do with all that extra time!

    Plus, faster downloads, that's even more free time.

    Mozilla really know how to innovate.

    Best company evvvvaaarrr

    • Googling Is for Old People. That’s a Problem for Google.

    Jump

  • What?

    Those chunky soups with 130 calories and 22% of your needs in protein, ideal for a hard day of work?

    Ahh well, I didn't know that!

    • Code found online exploits LogoFAIL to install Bootkitty Linux backdoor

    Jump

  • If you see a kitty cat during the boot, format / put your bios' keys to "factory" and reinstall.

    Not a big deal.

    • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

    Jump

  • The 20fps drop I have when I play THE game I have that could use it... For like 3 weeks, every 3-4 months...

    Not a big deal really.

    • Samtime: I Tried Switching to Linux (comedy)

    Jump

  • All the losers down voting the post...

    You surely can laugh without feeling attacked at your very core, don't you?

    • What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

    Jump

  • Nethack / Cdda / coq...

    Because going blind Is the game

    • Any distros or new tools for nvidia optimus systems?

    Jump

  • What do you need more than prime run (which is only a few env vars) ?

    • Only about 720,000 Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptops sold since launch — under 0.8% of the total number of PCs shipped in Q3, or less than 1 out of every 125 devices

    Jump

  • My neighbor bought one, it didn't boot / light up. He sent it back to get a new one.

    He's happy so far as you can tell...

    • Microsoft’s controversial Recall scraper is finally entering public preview

    Jump

  • No, Ollama is running on an old PC with a GeForce 1060 and 16gig of ram...

    Yes, it's a "webserver" running in the background exposing an API.

    However, if I "top" my system, without chatting, it sits at 0% usage; it's only when asking that the system peeks at around 55-70% CPU.

    You have to understand there is 2 things here: the server and the model. The server is always running, but requires next to nothing in terms of resources.

    The model is what computing your questions, this is the heavy part. It's started on use, then after a delay, it's closing.

    TL;DR To answer your real question, you could use Ollama on the same system that you are using.

    • Microsoft’s controversial Recall scraper is finally entering public preview

    Jump

  • During that time, you can easily install Ollama on an old computer.

    With a client like Oatmeal, you can save your session/ reload/delete as you wish; so your model remembers what you want.

    I am running llama3.1:8b, it's good enough for the day-to-day operations.

    • Need for a spyware: 0
    • Need to take screenshots of my desktop: 0
    • Need to buy another computer for the hype chipset: 0
    • Need of Microsoft bullshit: 0

    My old computer is apparently "not good enough" for windows 11, but it's surely good enough for my personal AI running on Linux though!

    • Upgrade to Freedom! The Switch from Windows 10

    Jump

  • I upvote for a non-AI thumbnail.

    God I am tired of them!

    • Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

  • I am not a boomer, but I am starting to be an old fart myself.

    Guess what the older generations said about video games back then? Satanic, create violence, hyper sexualization...

    And at the end of the day, we didn't end up as violent atheists watching porn on a portable device...

    (For the people wondering, this post is a joke)

    • The Thirty Million Line Problem

    Jump

  • I agree.

    That guy has too many spotlights on him than he deserves...

    Words are cheap, as we say.

    • Windows 365 Link is a $349 mini PC that streams Windows from the cloud

    Jump

  • No one here is talking about the subscription that will come with it...

    If it streams from someone's else computer,you will have to pay for that "service"....

    Why pay Windows once when you can pay it every month!

    • For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value.

    Jump

  • Yeah, well said!

    I hope those bots agree with you too!

    • What distro do you use and why?

    Jump

  • No Void here?

    • Runit
    • Pkg manager
    • KISS
    • Up to date / rolling distro
    • But stable
