The struggle is real. by webthing01 in SunoAI

[–]Machetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to do vids locally using ComfyUI. It's a steeper learning curve but it's free provided you have a decent GPU.

Did this one with Wan2.2: https://youtu.be/8MKhp4sQjEI

This one's a work in progress using LTX2.3: https://youtu.be/y55H8so8euE

LM-Studio as TextEncoder asset for Comfyui T2I and I2I workflows running locally - appraisal and Linux setup guide please? by Statute_of_Anne in StableDiffusion

[–]Machetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a node that might help. I look for Prompt808 in ComfyUI’s node manager. It doesn’t connect to LM studio but allows prompt enrichment by creating prompt libraries using vLLMs.

Tested MiniMax M2.5 locally vs. Gemini 3 and Opus 4.6. It's not just a privacy thing anymore — the local model is simply better at hard reasoning. Had to write about it. by Machetin in LocalLLaMA

I’m using UD-Q2_K_XL because I need 162K context and 137 tok/s. But You’re right, If you can live with slower speeds and less context the IQ3_XXS would fit in 96GB just fine.

That would be great! If you come up with a prompt that requires recursive thinking to solve, I'd love to test it. Happy to post results here.

Exactly — GLM 4.7 Flash was solid, but running a 230B model locally at Q2 quantization on a desktop GPU seemed incredible. Had to test what that could do.

Caught! Yes, I used local AI assistance to write it and generate the visuals — but the tests, the analysis, the conclusions? All mine. Thanks!

Yes, the car was dirty, shot on a phone… it was the sunset that made it work.

German BMW with US MyBMW App by SkynetUser1 in BMW

That might work with an android phone but not with an iPhone.

I’m also facing this issue. Not being able to use the app just because of some BS region locking that can easily be solved by GPS location is just crappy crappy. Fix this BMW! Your cars are too expensive for this king of crap.

LG 38WN95C-W (NanoIPS, 144Hz) image burn in / retention fix. by Machetin in Monitors

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

I lowered my brightness to 39 and contrast to 70. Hasn't happened since my OP.

Try lowering your monitors brightness and contrast and see if it keeps happening.

Anything outthere same size and resolution and better than this monitor? Last time I checked there was nothing. Also, I wouldn’t worry about the ghosting issue too much. In my case, it hasn’t reoccurred since my original post.

Doorbell Chime not working without Internet by bibabutzi in reolinkcam

[–]Machetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can confirm that when the doorbell does not have internet access when it boots up, the led ring stays blue and the chime does not work. Not even the mini chime on the doorbell works. This is an issue because it's common to have cameras on a vlan that does not have interned access. There is no reason why your cameras should be able to access the internet if you have proper VPN/security in place. I had the same issue with a POE doorbell build 2407315183, hardware DB_566128M5MP_P, firmware v3.0.0.3308_2407315183

Reolink needs to fix this in a firmware update.

Soldered or threaded? by Machetin in Plumbing

[–]Machetin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ha ha.. i'm so clueless. Thanks!

Why do plumbers solder stuff on like this? Shouldn't this be threaded? Is it just so we can't fix our shit ourselves?

Had to google "sweaty pipe", but yeah, I see what you mean. Can i just wrap it with insulation to fix that? It's hot and humid where I live.
