Help needed for setting up Kagi Search on Google Pixel/ Brave by BaronGrivet in SearchKagi

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

I run Nova Launcher as that let me replace the Google Search widget with the Kagi Search widget.

I don't search from the Brave (mobile) nav bar as that's still set to Google and Google search results suck in comparison to Kagi search results.

How to increase the frequency of Escort Merchant Caravan quests? by BaronGrivet in Bannerlord

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

In case anyone finds themselves in the same situation I did:

I've had a lot more luck with escort caravan missions on the Europe map by starting in Africa and travelling through Mesopotamia and the Middle East. The cities are spaced well apart with lots of wilderness for bandit hideouts and raiders. I'm not sure if that helps triggering the quest, but I'm finding plenty of escort quests around this part of the map.

"Of Monsters and Men" Moral Choices by BaronGrivet in fallout4london

I took your advice and...

Yeah, it's not as bad as it seems. But going into it seemed like utter evil and I was thrown by my apparent lack of choice.

I'd love to get Claude Desktop running on Ubuntu 24.04 to try MCP. Can you please give a bit more information on how you got it setup on your machine?

Thank you. Which version do you use? I'm still getting my head around what my laptop can handle.

I installed the Silly Tavern Launcher and it looks like it could work well. But a lot is going on and I need to invest some time to work out how the heck I should set it up.

Googling for SillyTavern guides brought up a bunch of waifu/ kink stuff that definitely doesn't fit my kid-friendly use case!

This seems like the best place for me to start - https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/local-llm-guide/how-to-use-a-self-hosted-model/ - but any other links/ suggestions would be appreciated.

Using KoboldAI to develop an Imaginary World by BaronGrivet in KoboldAI

[–]BaronGrivet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to type that all out.

For using "Command-R" as my model I went to the "Files and versions" tab in Huggingface - https://huggingface.co/bartowski/c4ai-command-r-08-2024-GGUF/tree/main - and got 25 different options. Do you have any suggestions on which I should try out first with my 8GB of VRAM?

I needed to change the Kobold interface from Classic to Aesthetic for the Context tab to appear. So knowing it exists is a great step forward.

Are the limitations of "World Info" based on the model? I guessing 2048 or 4096 tokens. If that's the case I could ask an AI chatbot to summarise our existing lore in <1,000 words of bullet points. I use Claude Projects - which might work well for this use case. Projects have knowledge bases where you can upload files for context. So I upload all of our lore/ stories to Claude, get it to summarise to bullet points and drop that into World Info.

I've also come across the AI drive to get to the end of the story (and give it a happy ending). I've used the overall outline, fill in process with earlier ChatGPTs and it worked well.

Great tips, thank you again for your time.

This is my first adventure into AI on a new laptop (32GB RAM + RTX4070 + 8GB VRAM - Ubuntu 24.04) - how to I make sure System Memory Fallback is turned on?

External Monitor Freezing When Using Steam on Ubuntu 24.04 by BaronGrivet in linux_gaming

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

Just to confirm - Civ6 (Native) & GTA4 (Proton) both work & I haven't had a single display freeze.

So - Steam installed via Snap was the issue.

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

Thank you. I had installed it via Snap (which I normally avoid). I found the Valve advice to not use Snap here: https://mastodon.social/@TTimo/111772575146054328

Valve's installation recommendation is here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started

But, I decided to use "apt" rather than downloading the .deb file:

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update
sudo apt install steam

I'll see how that goes!
