A HN user asked me0 how I run LLMs locally with some specific questions, I’m documenting it here for everyone. Before I begin I would like to credit the thousands or millions of unknown artists, coders and writers upon whose work the Large Language Models(LLMs) are trained, often without due credit or compensation. Get Started r/LocalLLaMA subreddit1 & Ollama blog2 are great places to get started with running LLMs locally.

If I have to restart my modem often like a caveman, I'll at least automate it. Years ago I would have pitied the soul which had to restart their Internet modem often, Now I'm in the situation where the ISP seems to have not heard about network reliability and so my modem hangs at least once per day. My modem is completely managed by the ISP and so there are no useful options for me to fix the issue.
When a new device is connects to my OpenWRT router, I get a notification on Gotify. This serves as a good low-key intrusion detection along with my earlier OpenWRT login alerts. Heavy lifting was already done by Brandon McFarlin, I had to just modify the code to send messages to Gotify instead of MQTT. #!/bin/sh cat << "EOF" > /etc/hotplug.d/dhcp/90-newdev [ "$ACTION" == "add" ] || exit 0 # [ "$ACTION" == "add" -o "$ACTION" == "update" ] || exit 0 known_macs="/etc/known_macs" if !

Today, Alec Watson posted a video titled “Algorithms are breaking how we think” on his YouTube channel, Technology Connections. The whole thing is excellent and very well argued. The main thrust is: people seem increasingly less mindful about the stuff they engage with. Watson argues that this is bad, and I agree. A little while ago I watched a video by Hank Green called “$4.5M to Spray Alcoholic Rats with Bobcat Urine”. Green has been banging this drum for a while. He hits some of the same notes as Watson, but from a different angle. This last month has been a lot, and I’ve withdrawn from news and social media quite a bit because of it. Part of this is because I’ve been very busy with work, but it’s also because I’ve felt overwhelmed. There are now a lot of bad-faith actors in positions of power. Part of their game plan is to spray a mass of obviously false, intellectually shallow, enraging nonsense into the world as quickly as possible. At a certain point the bullshit seeps in if you’re soaking in it. The ability to control over what you see next is powerful. I think it would be great if more people started being a bit more choosy about who they give that control to.
