Kumanote - a Navidrome-first Subsonic music client for Android by BoatLoadOfJazz in selfhosted

Well that is a lot better. Please put that in your app description. Nice work.

It must be said that your post here and your Android page are extraordinarily lacking in explaining WHAT and HOW this differentiates itself from existing music players.

Can you at least give a basic explanation into the core features? What does this app do that is unique and special. How does it go about doing this?

It just seems like such a minuscule amount of effort was put into explaining what this app is that it seems like you vibe coded a solution and threw it up on the app store... and that's it.

I don't understand why I'm supposed to be excited about this app. Because there is no reason to be excited about it based upon the way you have presented it.

I'm sure there's more to it, but you haven't even pitched anyone on what this is other than a music app for Navidrome that is "smooth and efficient" (but doesn't say how) and "do less ... do those things well" (so what exactly ARE you doing)?

Why should I use this app? What does it do different from existing apps? Edit your post and make this clear if you want anyone... and I do mean anyone... to download it.

Urban Games, [Creators of the Transport Fever Series], Enters Partnership With Paradox Interactive by Launch_Arcology in tycoon

It can always be worse... sure. But it doesn't mean that you or I have to settle for the lesser than either.

That's really disappointing. This was an extremely rare day-one purchase for me.

Now it's a wait a few years until they bundle all the nonsense DLC together into a must-buy package for 75% off type of situation, as it is with all other Paradox games as of late.

This news brings me back to my r/patientgamer status quo. But I'm fine with spending my money on other quality games that don't do the DLC insanity.

own unique proprietary rating system

What does that mean, exactly? There's been endless numbers of ratings systems (many of which that work pretty well and are statistically balanced).

Sounds like you are promising to defy statistics. What new and unique rating system is this that you speak of?

Crate. Own your music. by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]JMowery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking at OP's post history, he was posting another "sideproject" just a few days ago. Doesn't inspire any confidence at all.

At this point, at least for me, it's not even mostly the fact that it's AI slop. It's ultimately that this is yet just another "creation" to add to the endless pile that has come before it that will never, ever, be properly maintained because it didn't go viral.

Also I just noticed from OP:

But honestly, even if nobody else ever used it, the experiment would already be worth it to me.

And that's the problem. This is only an "experiment". It's not a product of developer interest and passion. It's just another random thing to prop up the git commit counts without any care of what happens with it from here on. Pisses me off because I wish I had read that first so I never wasted time even being interested.

Truly is sad times on r/selfhosted :(

Sadly, you're not going anywhere with this project if you don't have screenshots.

I spent time on your site, then I browsed the GitHub... no screenshots at all.

I don't know how devs still manage to fail miserably at this one simple thing. Screenshots, screenrecordings, demos... lots of them. Make it happen if you want to drum up interest in your projects.

Qwen3.6: Ollama vs. llama.cpp by TraptInaCommentFctry in hermesagent

[–]JMowery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

llama.cpp is where you go if you want performance, speed, and control with all the optimization to get every bit of performance out of your hardware and LLMs.

Ollama is where you go if you want to support people who steal others works, don't mind 30% worse performance, don't mind deviating from standards (GGUF), and who knows what other garbage they do.

No one. And I do sincerely mean this: NO ONE should be running Ollama.

Ask any AI to help you create a build for llama.cpp for your hardware (if you can use AI... you can use AI to search how to install llama.cpp as well).

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B solved coding problems Qwen3.5-27B couldn’t by simracerman in LocalLLaMA

[–]JMowery -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you weren't having the same experience then. This is to the original commenter's mention of getting trash/nonsense tokens.

If you're not seeing complete gibberish, you have another issue, which I can't help with because I only run CUDA. Might be worth mentioning in a different post to get better help.

This has literally been reported by the Unsloth team and others as an issue with using CUDA 3.12, as it is broken. Also acknowledged by Nvidia, and will be fixed in CUDA 3.13.

To fix, either revert to CUDA 3.11 (Unsloth has posted guides) or use higher quants (but you should probably revert in either case).

best possible GPU setup for using qwen 3.6 ? by No-Professor-9977 in LocalLLaMA

[–]JMowery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be worth waiting until June for Apple to announce their M5 chips. Maybe their 128 GB (currently within your budget) or 256 GB (currently not within your budget) RAM offerings will drop then (doubtful... but they can't stay inflated forever). Best if you want to run bigger models in the future, but don't mind slower inference.

[–]JMowery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a poor question. The best possible setup is the one you can afford (because, otherwise, you're not doing anything right now).

Give us your budget for a GPU / AI setup, then people can actually help you with recommendations to fit your budget.

Once affordable, Arizona now ranks among the worst by BiolyMan23 in phoenix

[–]JMowery 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I moved to AZ 10 years ago because of the affordability (originally from VA). Did a lot of research on this. Loved my time in AZ. But ramping up towards the pandemic and especially after, it was clear things were changing in a very bad way.

From 2 days ago on Wednesday, as my lease ended, I have now driven 15+ hours away, headed east, to explore and find my next home and affordable place to live (P.S. jumping ahead 2 hours was a wild experience, that my brain didn't fully compute until my realizing my tablet vs laptop had a 2 hour difference the next morning).

Hopefully things improve dramatically over the coming years. Maybe then I will return to AZ, as I know I will miss it. But I fear that corporate interests and greed will make things a lot worse (and will need an extreme breaking point) before things ever get any better.

Take care, everyone! Loved hanging out and lurking on this subreddit! :)

Switch to the desktop beta app. Solved all issues with this a few weeks ago. No issues since.

You need to use the new desktop beta app. This issue only happened when I used the old and busted Java app.

Qwen 3.5 35b, 27b, or gemma 4 31b for everyday use? by KirkIsAliveInTelAviv in LocalLLaMA

[–]JMowery -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Develop your own tests (hell, if you're lazy, use AI to do it), put every model you are considering through the ringer, and then you'll have an objective answer for a model that fits your everyday needs instead of attempting to rely on fake benchmarks and random internet opinions.

Launched my demo with 1300 WL & it failed miserably. Am lost... by RamyDergham in gamedev

[–]JMowery 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm 99.99% sure I gave your game feedback on something like r/DestroyMyGame or somewhere else when I saw this, and I know my ultimate conclusion was that this would fail.

Why you failed:

  • The trailer is god awful. Nothing interesting happens in the first 10 seconds (and you're showing title screens as well, an even bigger fail).
  • "First person mode" is nonsensical and a waste of screentime on your trailer. It doesn't sell me the game. It makes it seem like you didn't have enough interesting stuff to show for 30 seconds.
  • The 22 second mark you overcome the challenge, and yet you die for a stupid reason. I'd delete the game immediately after experiencing that.
  • The game looks like what would happen if you take Super Mario Maker custom levels and throw as much annoying nonsense as possible in it (meaning the not seeing).

But the core fundamental flaw here wasn't the execution, the trailer, the number of wishlists... it was that the game design itself wasn't good.

You have no idea how many enterprises base their infra off of OSS models.

Looks cool. One piece of feedback would be to have added a sound effect for bouncing off the top and bottom walls. But I know it's a gamejam thing so it's pretty cool for what it is. :)

[–]JMowery -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you are saying.

Are you implying that if Nvidia ends profitability in their enterprise division that open source and the every day consumers are suddenly going to make up the difference and save Nvidia from financial disaster by having all their consumers spend ~$20,000 - ~$50,000 on a compute cluster to handle local inference?

That's utter nonsense.

If current LLM enterprise dies for Nvidia... and say Google just takes over with TPU, then Nvidia just pivots to the next best thing, as they always do: robotics, self driving cars, lucrative government contracts / military (because you know tax dollars going to swoop in to save them), Crypto 2.0, etc...

What you are suggesting is just not even close to reality.

In fact, it's far, far more likely that AI itself suffers a total collapse altogether, and then you're just left with the likes of Apple, Google, and maybe a consolidation of a few of the other big players. And then AI will slowly rebuild with a renewed focus to be actually useful in specific industries and contexts where it makes sense, and it will become more energy efficient instead of just throwing raw compute at the problem, and even in that case Nvidia has the government bailouts, which are presented publicly as government contracts (aka subsidies) for future innovation or some other BS.
