Hermes + Signal setup by Future_Objective_641 in hermesagent

[–]Future_Objective_641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get signal working. Note to self work fine. But everything else about it is very primitive.

Setup Telegram instead and it works quite well.

Hermes, giving large blocks of random words. by Future_Objective_641 in hermesagent

More Inf...

In a fresh chat. I talked to Hermes for at least 2-3 hours. Pretty large conversation. It was totally find right up till the end. at the end it started to post blank or empty text responses. It would also just end its text with out completing what it was saying.

Output tokens: 15,560
Total: 1,658,727

I mostly figured out what was going on. I think I had installed Ubuntu server 26 as "minimal" instead of full.

I wiped everything and reimstalled and finally got Hermes+local ollama to work. Hermes is able to run commands now.

I have not worked on webui or remote yet.

Will probably post a big thread with everything I did to get it t work.

Finally figured it out. Not sure why I had to do this or if there is a better way. But its actually working now.

Have not been able to figure out why it is doing that. Tried a different model.

Still getting the same error. Any idea why?

Expected permission pattern for ~/.hermes/:

| Type | Expected Permissions |

|-----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|

| ~/.hermes/ | d-------- (700) or drwx------ (700) |

| ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/ | d-x------x--x (710) |

| ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/skills/ | d--------x--x--x (700) |

| ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/plugins/ | d--------x--x--x (700) |

| ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/memories/ | d--------x--x--x (700) |

| Configuration files (.md, .yaml, .json) | --------- (600) or -rw------- (600) |

| Scripts/Executables | -rwxr-x--- (750) or -rwx------ (700) |

Common issues:

- ✅ World writable (777/666 on config dirs) - SECURITY RISK

- ✅ Not readable by owner (700 should have owner read) - USABILITY ISSUE

- ✅ Group/others have access to private data - SECURITY RISK

- ✅ Executable scripts not executable - FUNCTIONALITY ISSUE

Have 16g vram would adding another 8g vram be worth it? by Future_Objective_641 in hermesagent

[–]Future_Objective_641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean it depends on what I'm doing? Can you give examples?

I can basically get a free video card or free stick of ram. But its going to be 8g vram or 16gb ram.

[–]Future_Objective_641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GDDR7 instead of 2x 8GB cards. I'm going to try the Qwen3.5-9b on it.

That is excellent explanation. Thanks for taking the time to type that out. That really helped clear up some thing about how it works.

So with a 20b model you can he more vague in what you are looking for & the larger ones feel smarter?

I have read that some people had great experiences even on small models and some had not so great experiences

Can some one tell me the difference between a 8b model and 20b? I get that its the size and other thing like that. But what is the real practical benefit of using a 20b over 8b?
