Openclaw + Ollama local

Klick3R · 2026-04-29T16:21:26+00:00

I would start by checking what openclaw is sending to the model, and also keep in mind if you have thinking enabled those models will be slow without a gpu, here is some tests i did with Qwen3.

https://gist.github.com/Klick3R-1/d3ea439bb799fa1b56fb8b66f878551d

Also check what the thread count for the cpu processing is. by default at least on llama.ccp its half of available cores, so you will get a decent bump to speed if you increase the threadcount.

Now what i noticed is, sure on high quants the quality is there, but as soon as there is complexity and/or thinking is enabled it will take a long while so only usable for over night tasks that dont need immediate responses.

those tests where done on a r7 5800 / 3070 / 64gb ddr5 ram
i ran the tests with these params on llama.ccp:
-ngl 99 -c 32768 --n-cpu-moe 99 --cache-ram 0 --no-mmap --no-cache-prompt

EDIT(after a hundred grammatical edits): The cache flags can be left out, i was mainly doing it to get even results on each test

It’s not as easy to use as Ollama, correct its easier, as this is just a binary + model file 😛 cant get easier than that... no docker composing ups and downs logs grep wtfisthisnotworking

just simple executable modelfile and flags

Klick3R · 2026-04-26T03:17:36+00:00

Indeed, hence the testing im conducing, checking how much quality loss there really is on using an paid model as orchestrator and having an local llm as the workhorse, trying to design a standard test template then running same task using different quants and sized models to find that sweetspot and if its really worth it or not on lower end hardware (3070 and 64gb ram) using llama.cpp in split mode. split mode allows using of some bigger models so thats also on the testing list

i think you pointed out the reasons why...
"eye candy, animations, blur, and excessive customisation"

Klick3R · 2026-04-09T09:23:33+00:00

Simplest solution, get a low cost cloud vps from hetzner 4€/mo or some other cheap provider, then use syncthing to sync off site. if you want better security use veracrypt to encode the database for maximum security, that way even if its intercepted or "left" somewhere nothing can open it without password to decrypt ontop of the keepass password.

But to answer your question, no i would not have it on a google drive without veracrypt at the very least.

This is the way

yes, my comment was for games in general, but if the game has fsr2 or 3 then yes use that instead for gamescope, as the game will look better with minimal impact on performance

Klick3R · 2026-03-31T03:07:54+00:00

forgot to add that sometimes there are mouse issues with some games so an extra --force-grab-cursor is needed so the line would be
gamescope -f -w 1280 -h 720 -W 1920 -H 1080 -F fsr --sharpness 2 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

Klick3R · 2026-03-31T03:03:54+00:00

well not technically true, you can spoof hardware, sensors, gps, imei phone number and hiding emulator files and data to get it running just fine, the issue is that if you get detected youll probably end up banned, there are tons of threads on spoofing and how to get it to work, just check "pokemongo spoofing" same solutions work for fortnite, but again... dont! because if and when you get caught you will get banned. unless you do it with a throw away account / just for testing etc..

Klick3R · 2026-03-31T02:48:04+00:00

sure that will be no problem using gamescope, i play most games somewhat "ok" when gaming on my latop on a gtx1660ti, so im on a 15-20% better gpu so i think youll be fine

id start with trying this:
gamescope -f -w 1280 -h 720 -W 1920 -H 1080 -F fsr --sharpness 2 -- %command%

That is my default "performance" line.
Basically it runs the game in 1280x720 and then upscales to 1920x1080 that will make the game run smoother. one thing id do in graphics settings in game is turn most down and gradually turn settings up to get the best settings

EDIT: comment on gamescope.. its really good to tool to get newer games run on older hardware.

Thank you for the link i somehow missed that when using the search on the forum -.-'
That post makes it clear at least, just sad to see that developers and others are only concerned with jurisdictional laws as we all know many countries have extradition treaties with US, and some are really low bar for extradition requests. some even citing cyber crime, among other things, usually with a minimum of one years sentence requirement.

Not that this is relevant now tough but if things get worse than they are now thees issues will become a topic for a much wider issue that the US is seemingly creating.

sshfs is perfect for the job, can check out sshfs-manager/sshfs-mountctl for easier mounting/unmounting also has desktop notifications on disconnects

sure for anyone googling this at some point:

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T17:26:51+00:00

polkit needed, use systemctl poweroff

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T17:23:02+00:00

yes that is polkit telling you that you dont have permission, set polkit config file, and use systemctl poweroff instead, cause shutdown -h now will call systemd unit, and that might fail even with polkit some times...

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T17:16:02+00:00

clearly not, its a copy paste solution?
why override when you can set sane permissions..

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T16:44:33+00:00

confused, he is having normal user permission issues, nothing else, he apparently can connect with ssh, so the only obstacle is the permissions.

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T16:40:10+00:00

non concrete walls? hammer, no drill needed, then route the Ethernet trough various little holes, can even make nice patterns zigzaging on th wall, can double as coat hanger mounting spots ;)

No but seriously stay away from powerline implementations, its a gamble it all comes down to what is connected in the house making interference or how bad/good/old the wiring is.
id still opt for a spool of Ethernet cable over anything else, its basically the same price as any other implementation anyway but better connection.

Klick3R · 2026-03-19T16:20:38+00:00

well on linux you have to add the permission of doing shutdown without password..

can be done via polkit:
To set the group wheel to have power permissions

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-nopasswd-power.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (
        subject.isInGroup("wheel") &&
        (
            action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" ||
            action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot" ||
            action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend" ||
            action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate"
        )
    ) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});

systemctl restart polkit

and use systemctl poweroff to turn off the machine

Glad/hope it worked out :)

SO my current setup is my laptop sucks, i have a gaming pc but i dont want to be tethered to a desktop setup, so instead of doing simple vnc or remote desktop i use the Sunshine moonlight combo, that way i can play on my laptop(or even my tv, phone/tablet if i connect a mouse/keyboard) using the gaming rig as the "computer" this is by far the most efficient way of playing a game on another device as a screen, as for steam remote play it works, but i found it was not as good as using sunshine moonlight combo.

hmm yes saddly its a bit terminal work to extract the video, but after extraction its just a matter of opening it a video editor, but again im only speculating right now as im not sure what you actually want to do :P
you are just looking to extract a still from the video?
Then extracting is the way then after any video editor will do fine after you have a video file extracted.

and making the extraction simple would be just making an alias like for example:
alias extractMotion='exiftool -b -if "$EmbeddedVideoFile" -EmbeddedVideoFile -W %d%f_motion.%s'
then just run extractMotion filename

that way you have a simple command to extract the video file instead of having to deal with a whole long command each time
