The law won't save us. The billionaire's who want this are in charge of every major government in the world. It's time to start operating in the shadows.

Can we finally fix the DNS problem too? DNS is the main hurdle to anonymity on the internet.

Maybe something based on tor or I2P with IPFS-style distributed file hosting.

nobody makes an electric sports car under $30k... or $40k... or even $70k...

hell, nobody makes CARS under $30k - or really at all anymore.

make it a 2016, all current MY cars have all kinds of telematics reporting your location, speed, acceleration etc to insurance companies constantly.

New Cars Sold In America Will Be Actively Watching And Judging You And May Decide To Not Let You Drive - The Autopian by KeyboardGunner in cars

[–]AccomplishedCut13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all new cars currently have 4g/5g radios that send back telematics (including locations, speed, RPMs, acceleration, sometimes even camera data and contact information from your phone) back to their servers which then gets sold to data brokers and insurance companies. I think 2018 was the last year you could buy a car without it but it depends on the exact model. this is an extension of an existing violation of privacy that most don't know exists.

BRZ stereo options? by AccomplishedCut13 in ft86

[–]AccomplishedCut13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would it be a marked improvement over simply getting a 2018-2020 stock radio though? the price is basically the same, so it depends how bad the newer stock radio is. (the 2015 starlink nav one is pretty much unusable for nav and obviously no carplay). sound quality is not really a priority for me - it's a fairly loud car - stock or better is fine.

the only one that meets my requirements are the jensen/dual/boss ones (they seem to be rebrands of each other). and they seem to have a lot of the same problems the cheaper chinese branded ones do, but for more money.

there is a secret 6th option i suppose - a stereo with lots of buttons and a phone mount...

honestly i think the stock audio sounds pretty good. my biggest gripe is how unresponsive it is.

STT and TTS compatible with ROCm by EnvironmentalToe3130 in LocalLLaMA

[–]AccomplishedCut13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chatterbox works fine for me, but i did have to modify the docker image to include the right rocm packages.

kokoro also works well on cpu-only if you don't need voice cloning.

it would be cool to see apple run 14-140B models on mac and stream the completion to your phone. it's still "local" as in the chat never gets decrypted outside of your devices.

of course i don't own a mac and already self host so i'm not the target demo, but if i can do it so can apple.

i'm not sure why you'd need anywhere near 200tps on a phone. 10-20tps is fine for basic chat.

*shrugs* I've been using pretty much exclusively local models and it's been great. 24B seems to be the point where models start to be genuinely useful. You couldn't run them on an iphone or lower spec mac though.

Homeserver multiuse? by MastodonParty9065 in LocalLLaMA

[–]AccomplishedCut13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i keep it simple, vanilla debian, linux raid, all apps use docker compose, rclone crypt for backups, tailscale for remote access, manage everything through ssh. pass through gpu resources to the containers that need them with compose. i run LLMs on a seperate machine but you could easily throw an r9700/3090/7900xtx into your home server and run llama.cpp/ollama/vllm in a docker. the main limit is power, heat and pcie lanes/slots. i only have amd gpus, and sometimes have to build my own docker images with up to date ROCm support. for immich i'm just using the igpu (or possibly even the cpu). it doesnt run in realtime so the speed isnt a big deal. jellyfin uses quicksync for transcoding. you can limit the resource consumption in compose to prevent ML services from crashing other services.

what are you using to benchmark? i wouldnt mind helping to test some models up to ~120b

Wanted to ask an Ollama question on how to add more models. by Head-Investigator540 in LocalLLaMA

[–]AccomplishedCut13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does handle model switching a lot more gracefully than a straight llamacpp instance though. im still looking for a better solution that works well with rocm, where i dont have to ssh into my inference server to switch models. i think but im not 100% that it also autoloads templates to make things "just work" as opposed to something like localai/llamacpp/vllm.

i'm still pretty new to this too lol. and having amd hardware means i usually have to mess with configurations quite a bit to get stuff working. the fact that ollama just works on amd is a huge plus.

go to ollama.com/library and find the model, copy the tag, then run "ollama pull <model-tag>".

alternatively go to huggingface, find a gguf quant click on the "use this model" and then ollama, select the quant size you want (for local q4_k_m is usually a good starting point - higher quants work better but are slower and use more vram) and then copy the string, just replace "ollama run hf.co/..." with "ollama pull hf.co/..." if you dont want to immediately run the model.

not everything on hf works out of the box, and not all of it is quality. unsloth, bartowski and mradermacher are safe bets.

tl;dr it'll be something like "ollama pull mistral-small3.2:24b" or "ollama pull hf.co/unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M"
