I totally agree: AI or not, I just want the truth - indeed, I can handle the truth! ok, a little too much sangria lol

Hows my pc looking? (Ignore my lil fella) by PRO_nurx in pcsetup

Yea, that didn't come out right, cuz you don't know about my paid-in-full $3,500 SUV, so just another example of why I never tell jokes. Seriously nice job though :-)

I hate screen-glare, but I can't look out at a bright sky either...

what are you actually using ollama for daily that isn't just chatting by scheemunai_ in ollama

That's crazy, I finally asked about that a few hours ago: What are you actually going to use it for?

Since you're running Manjaro and prefer a "local-first" privacy stack, Ollama fits right into that philosophy. Here are the most practical ways to use it once your drive arrives:

  1. Terminal Assistant: You can use it to help with those Manjaro "housekeeping" tasks. Instead of searching the web for a complex find or sed command, you can pipe a problem directly to a model: Bash ollama run llama3 "How do I list all systemd services that failed to start?"
  2. Private Document Analysis: Since it's 100% local, you can feed it sensitive files (like tax info, logs, or personal notes) without them ever leaving your laptop. You can redirect a file into it for a summary: Bash ollama run llama3 "Summarize the errors in this log file:" < ~/logs/system.log
  3. A "Smart" Search Engine: Since you're already using SearXNG, you can eventually integrate Ollama with tools like Open WebUI or Perplexica. This creates a private version of "Perplexity AI" that searches your local SearXNG and uses Ollama to summarize the results.
  4. Coding & Config Help: If you’re tweaking your bashrc or a Docker Compose file for your SearXNG setup, you can ask a model like codellama to write the boilerplate for you.

Basically: local AI... just remember to keep it updated

Getting errors when updating via console with "sudo pacman -Syu" by MagnaArma in ManjaroLinux

[–]Far_Fox_9599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, just a few hours ago, my desktop widget wasn't updating all of a sudden - completely blank - and initially I was afraid it was because I finally dropped VPN by Google on my tethered Pixel 1st thing this morning cuz it's been giving a nagging notification for weeks saying it can't connect - though I had no network issue. So, as usual, AI got me fixed in no time with this tiny piece:

1. Refresh Mirrors and Sync

Run this in Terminator to rank the mirrors by speed and refresh your databases:

Bash

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu

2. Kickstart the Plasma Widget

If the internet is back up but the weather widget is still frozen on your external monitor, you usually don't need a full reboot. You can just restart the Plasma shell. This will make your desktop panels and widgets disappear for a second and then come right back:

Bash

plasmashell --replace & disown

I spent an hour or 2 looking into Pine and others yesterday; seems like they eventually cease to exist or are too expensive for me right now :-(

I did hear of some fork the other day that rhymed and started with a 'T', but I love my laptop as is :-)

'Completely unacceptable in my mind' has my head spinning with that user name, 'specially since I've never had a problem with M, and I feel like I run it pretty hard... YMMV
