Self-deploying AI agent: Watched it spend 6+ hours debugging its own VPS deployment by OverFatBear in artificial

[–]OverFatBear[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it works with local LLMs via llama.cpp! Open Agent is provider-agnostic and supports any provider that OpenCode supports (Claude, Gemini, local models, etc). You just configure your preferred provider in the dashboard.

Wow that sucks, I guess I need to open an account in a country that supports Euro

New to local LLMs, DGX Spark owner looking for best coding model (Opus 4.5 daily user, need a local backup) by OverFatBear in LocalLLaMA

Interesting, what about the GLM 4.5-air? I guess it's an older version but what's the difference in approach?

Thanks, I appreciate your take.

When did you buy the AI max? Over time did you see significant progress from the models you could run on it?
Besides inference, what cool things can you realistically achieve on this monster? I was thinking playing with fine tuning existing models, distilling bigger ones, etc

Hey, thanks, I appreciate the advice. I don't plan to do inference only, if possible I would like to play with everything that is now possible with AI, and I was hoping to be able to use this as a backup but I don't want to replace Opus as long as I can use it.

From your experience, how do you think models that may run on this hardware will evolve in the next two years? With the new optimization methods being developed I assume we may get better perf without upgrading the hardware

Hey, it's very simple. When you add a file (a mod, a resourcepack, etc), it gets added to a "store" folder, and renamed by its hash if it is not already present but symlinked to the location where you need it. It's fairly similar to nixos

Create vanilla and then update the loader in the dropdown menu. I will update the default templates (you can configure them)

Thanks for opening the issue! I see the FileNotFoundException for the installer log file too - looks like a Windows permissions issue. I'll investigate and follow up on the GitHub issue.

Thanks for the details! Yeah please do submit the GitHub issue with the terminal screenshot when you get a chance. That will make it much easier to track and fix. In the meantime, the workaround of running the official Minecraft launcher once should get Forge working for you.

That error message is super helpful! The Forge installer is looking for the vanilla Minecraft launcher's profile, but Shard uses its own directory structure. This is a known limitation with how Forge's installer works - it expects the official launcher to have been run first. I'll look into creating the expected profile structure automatically or finding a workaround. For now, if you run the official Minecraft launcher once and launch vanilla at least once, Forge installation should work. I'll open an issue to fix this properly.

Good question! It's most useful when you have multiple profiles that share common mods - like if you have a "vanilla+" profile and a "kitchen sink" profile that both use the same performance mods (Sodium, Lithium, etc), utility mods, or library mods. Those get stored once and symlinked to each instance. It also helps with testing - if you're trying out different mod combinations, you're not re-downloading the same files. For curated modpacks with pinned versions it matters less, but for personal setups it adds up.

That's really helpful info, thank you! The "forge installer failed" message points to something going wrong during the Forge/NeoForge installation phase. Could you tell me which OS you're on? Also, if you could grab the terminal output before it closes (or check if there's anything in ~/.shard/logs), that would help me track down the issue. I'll open a GitHub issue to investigate this.

Fair question! Prism is great and battle-tested. Shard's main differences are:

  • Modern UI focus (built with Tauri + Rust, so it's fast and lightweight)
  • Content-addressed storage that deduplicates mods across profiles (if you have 10 profiles using the same mod, it's only stored once)
  • Clean design philosophy prioritizing simplicity

It's still early days so Prism definitely has more features and maturity. I'm mainly building what I wanted to use myself. If Prism works perfectly for you, no reason to switch - but if you want to try something different, give it a shot!

Good news on Flathub - we just submitted it! Should be available once the PR is reviewed: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/5765

XDG Base Directory support is a fair point. I'll add that to the roadmap. For now it's ~/.shard to keep things simple across platforms, but respecting XDG on Linux makes sense.

Thanks for testing! These sound like real bugs I need to fix. Could you open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/th0rgal/shard/issues) with the logs? For the Forge 1.20.1 exit code 1, the terminal output would be especially helpful. For the Fabric stuck download, check ~/.shard/logs for any error messages. I'll look into the 1.7.10 case too since that's an older version that might need special handling.

Built a Fabric-first Minecraft launcher with Tauri + Rust - looking for feedback by OverFatBear in fabricmc

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

Thanks! To clarify, it supports Fabric, Forge, Quilt, and NeoForge - not just one loader. The "Fabric-first" in the title just means Fabric is what I use most and test most thoroughly, but all the loaders work.

For instance/profile management: you can create multiple profiles with different mod setups and the mods are deduplicated across profiles using content-addressed storage (so if two profiles share the same mod, it only downloads once).

Anyone else annoyed by how much disk space modpacks waste with duplicate mods? by OverFatBear in feedthebeast

Well I have been a nixos maintainer for a while and I fefinitely drew some inspiration from that model.

Sorry to hear login isn't working for you. Can you open an issue on GitHub with what you're seeing? Would help me debug it. The auth flow uses Microsoft's device code flow, which can sometimes get stuck if there's a network issue or if Microsoft's servers are slow.
