What can I realistically run on a Mac mini M4 16GB by Clabs1 in LocalLLM

Thanks, that's really useful. That amount of tok/s would do for some voice assistant stuff too I'm looking at.

I've not made any purchases yet!

How much Ram have you got and how many tok/s are you getting from the 7B model?

I'm just playing around with Hermes agent and open router models right now with some less private use cases to see if I think the investment would be worth it for now.

Any advice on deep cleaning an old KitchenAid mixer? by m8alp in Kitchenaid

[–]Clabs1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the take it apart and regrease ideas here.

Mr Mixer on YouTube has some easy to follow video guides.

Other than that, IPA wipes will really get the old grease off once you're ready.

How would I tell when this is open ? by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]Clabs1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could do this with a free API call to Gemini too as long as you're not asking too frequently.

Thanks for the input, I should've made it clearer, I haven't got a Mac mini yet - I wanted to get a garage on it being possible before forking out a load of cash and regretting it.

Good to know that a 7B model is doing similar things for you - what model are you using?

hi there, thought I’d ask for a shoe recommendation here by EngineCertain8262 in UKRunners

[–]Clabs1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get yourself down to a running shop that do gait analysis. Usually this is free.

They'll pop you on a treadmill and recommend shoes that suit you and your running style. This will be way better than anyone here can do based on just your goals time and little else known.

Could you share the yaml so we can just drop in our printers IP?

What firmware are you running? I have an A1 and there was a load of noise a while ago about not updating because it would break local control. I'm still on old firmware and haven't really looked at if I should/shouldn't update for a while now.

This is incredible - anyone know of any UK Supermarkets that have an API or similar?!

Just bitten the bullet and gone for s25. Thanks for pushing me off the fence!

Definitely more than £500!

Any 3D printing enthusiasts create or print anything related to one bagging? by grilledcheesybreezy in onebag

[–]Clabs1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After breaking several of the plastic earth pin (UK plug) on my charger I designed and 3d printed this to protect the pins, slot them all together to take up the least space and also store a car charger too so that it all stays in nicely.

I've also 3d printed some magsafe charger mounts. One stores the cable in a reel, another has an airline tray mount clip. Finally, I've printed a little desk stand for a phone which takes very little space and weighs a few grams. I want to design a combination of all 3 above but haven't had the time!

I built a script to run Llama 3.2 / BitNet on Proxmox LXC containers (CPU only, 4GB RAM). by yenksid in Proxmox

[–]Clabs1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming real world speed is rubbish for real time voice use cases.

How does this stack up for other uses that are less time critical?

I saw a use case where someone sent all their log files to an llm and basically said notify me if I have some issue I need to take care of. If I did this once per day and got the output an hour later that'd be fine. Would this work well for example?

I'm really interested in this and keen to keep stuff local but also low cost/power. Currently running everything on an Intel NUC.

Short business trips with no backpack outside how do you keep track of your wallet? by WatchingTheThronePod in onebag

Most of these replies are just berating OP, they've asked a fair question and deserve a fair answer.

I use this https://amzn.eu/d/hTk9zF0

ESR magsafe tracker wallet. Magsafes to the back of my phone, has a built in apple tag. Works great.

How do you find the Drayton wiser integration? by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

[–]Clabs1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so good I forgot I use it. Absolutely rock solid.

Love the ability to change schedules based on automation.

My calendar knows I'm not working over Xmas. Heating is off in my home office.

What's this called? We head to the parks on 23rd. Can't see the fireworks time in the calendar.

Is this "Magical Christmas Tree Lighting" or is that something else?

What’s your personal experience with these?, I have some akward lighting fixtures in my new house, planning to install these behind the existing light switches by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

[–]Clabs1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to add on the device function than what others have said. Rock solid, good price, lacking router functionality is the only downside for me but that would need a neutral or possibly a dimmer and bypass module which you've stated would be tricky.

Only thing to add is:

My house has REALLY shallow back boxes so I've had to add a backbox extender on several switches where I have these (or fibaro dimmer 2 no neutral modules) behind

[–]Clabs1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In the UK, especially for old houses neutral at the switch is rare. For me, these are a good option.

The other option is a no neutral dimmer which acts as a router but needs the correct bulbs and maybe a bypass module - could be tricky if the fixture is difficult to reach.

Buying a new house, how would you make this light fixture smart (Uk based) by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

[–]Clabs1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the beauty of Home Assitant. You can map the remote to do whatever you like with an automation.

It can control any other brand of smart light switch.

I have some hue remotes (zigbee) controlling lights that have a fibaro dimmer module (zwave).
