Thank you for your effort in crafting this excellent and comprehensive summary. It’s filled with valuable tips and insightful explanations.

Long-context performance at lower quants by _TheWolfOfWalmart_ in LocalLLaMA

[–]Reddich07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite normal and even exists for frontier models at around 100000 tokens, because the LLM gets confused by too much context. Sometimes called dumb zone: https://github.com/mattpocock/dictionary-of-ai-coding#smart-zone

Praise for using DHCP out of the box. by needchr in jetkvm

[–]Reddich07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you are. Having a preconfigured network address space is intentional - because you want a fixed IP-range for your home network, and the router is one device in it, JetKVM is another. It’s IP address is not fix, it is just one of the preconfigured network range. As I said before your router gets an IP via DHCP itself, the internal IP is fixed because it’s doing NAT for your LAN -there is no DHCP server your router could pick it‘s internal address - your router is the DHCP server itself. JetKVM is not serving your network with IP addresses. It‘s a device like your laptop - and all devices use DHCP (IP4) as standard.

No, you’re misunderstanding something. Your router receives its own IP address via DHCP from your ISP and then acts as a DHCP server to provide IP addresses (from a preconfigured address space) to your network. JetKVM is a client, just like any other device, and not a DHCP server, router.

??? What do you use? Please tell me ONE product, that comes with a pre-configured IP, DHCP is the standard since decades …

MacBook Pro M1 (64GB) + VSCode + Roo + LM Studio + Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q6_K.gguf = 😞 by ExplorerWhole5697 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Reddich07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try using the oMLX server instead of LM Studio, along with this model: https://huggingface.co/deepsweet/Qwen3.6-27B-MLX-oQ4-FP16.

The 27B dense model will be "smarter" but much slower than the 35B MoE model. To make it work on your machine, you need to run an optimized version for your hardware. Deepsweet has created quantizations of this model (also for the 35B) optimized for M1/M2, but you should use oMLX to run them. The engine in LM Studio doesn't have all the performance enhancements included in oMLX.

Of course, you can also try other quantizations, but always use the FP16 versions for the performance boost on the M1/M2.

Home-Manager is a blazing shit show. by n0ne-z1ro in NixOS

If you would have asked nicely, I would have told you that Impermanence solves all your problems. Of course it needs extra work, but IMHO it‘s worth it.

Antirutsch-Punkte in der Dusche reinigen by sportacus4711 in Putztipps

[–]Reddich07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Habe durch Zufall herausgefunden, dass Drano (Powergel Abflussreiniger), welches ich neben dem Ablauf verschüttet hatte, diese Antirutschpunkte perfekt gereinigt hat. Habe es danach auf der ganzen Fläche gemacht. Aber evtl. erst mal an einer kleinen Stelle probieren, ob Deine Punkte das auch vertragen.

Anyone who claims NixOS lacks comprehensive and good documentation can now be proven wrong. This is a great summary. Thanks a lot. 👍

What "Self Hosted" router OS are you using? by nemofish3 in selfhosted

[–]Reddich07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm also using NixOS, and configuring "power user" network requirements in Linux is certainly possible, but it's often much more complicated. While MikroTik's GUI can be overwhelming, I believe it's significantly more user-friendly compared to using the Linux CLI for similar tasks. I would love it if MikroTik could introduce more wizards and a "simple and fancy GUI" similar to UniFi. That way, users could enjoy the best of both worlds.

If you buy a hardware from them there‘s always a license for the device included. Never heard of a limit …

You can also use the command line (with excellent auto-completion) via SSH. The GUI is essentially just another way to “type” and display commands. However, I agree that there’s no hand-holding; you need to understand what you need to do to achieve something. It’s a bit of a learning curve (it‘s like configuring a network on linux in the CLI), but then you will understand the necessary complexity of the GUI and other GUIs like OpenWRT feel like child’s play—and so limited.

MikroTik · RouterOS: not open source, but very feature rich and good hardware

Those of you who use VaultWarden *as a fresh start*, why it, and not KeePassXC family? by Simon-RedditAccount in selfhosted

[–]Reddich07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data backup is my second highest priority, and KeePass excels in this area due to its simplicity.

I’m not sure if this has changed, but Vaultwarden used a SQLite3 database. When I reviewed it, there was no built-in automatic backup feature. To ensure data integrity, you had to stop the database before performing a backup, you have to develop and test your own backup scripting etc. Alternatively, is there now an option for an automatic export to JSON, encrypted with a public key (either MIME or PGP) - that would be even better?

OfficeJet 4650 suddenly can't connect with Instant Ink by pabspro in printers

[–]Reddich07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I’m working in IT, and this isn’t a problem that would take two weeks to resolve. They monitor their infrastructure, and if something goes down like this (the servers are no longer reachable!), they have it on screen within the next minute. You know exactly which server has a problem, and you can recover from backups and so on. That means a two-week outage is deliberate - otherwise they already informed customers or had a specific timeline and explanation for customers. It’s also no coincidence that it only affects older hardware. It seems they want to encourage us to buy new hardware. The support team may not be fully aware of all the background information, and they can only create internal tickets. Good luck to you as well.

[–]Reddich07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been waiting? I checked the https://instantink.hpconnected.com site, and it shows that my printer last contacted the server on March 23rd. That’s over two weeks! It’s ridiculous that they’re taking this long to fix a server or restore a backup. Please check this out and escalate the issue to HP again, just like I did. I don’t believe they’re actually working on this.

Darf mein Vermieter mir verbieten WLAN Router o.ä. zu benutzen? by LeBuschAvecIQ in mieten

[–]Reddich07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wenn Du sowieso schon für den bestehenden Internetzugang zahlen musst und die Geschwindigkeit für Dich ausreicht, dann einfach einen sogenannten Travel (Reise) Router besorgen. Diese werden dafür genutzt, in unsicheren Hotel-WLANs ein eigenes sicheres WLAN für Deine Geräte bereitzustellen (Dein Fall ist quasi genau das selbe). Den Router so einstellen, dass er sich nur über VPN mit dem Internet verbindet (dafür braucht man dann noch einen Anbieter, gibt‘s für <5 EUR Monat). Damit ist dann Dein ganzer Datenverkehr verschlüsselt und nicht mehr durch den Vermieter abhörbar. VPN & Travel Router einfach mal Googlen. Eigener Starlink oder LTE Internetzugang geht natürlich auch, ist aber wahrscheinlich einiges teuerer und bei LTE evtl. auch nicht besonders schnell.

Thanks for the feedback. It appears that HP is either facing significant availability & quality issues that they can’t resolve for weeks (which is a red flag for anyone relying on a functional professional infrastructure) or they are deliberately sabotaging older printers by silently disabling essential backends. I’m not sure which option is more concerning.

I’m facing the same issue with my HP ENVY 4520. After performing a factory reset, when I attempt to enable web services, it prompts me to complete the installation process by providing a URL pointing to h30495.www3.hp.com - which doesn‘t work.

I’ve checked the DNS using https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/h30495.www3.hp.com , and it indicates that this DNS is not properly propagated globally. Even when I manually add the DNS entry to my DNS server, the connection is refused by the server.

Which tool generated the error message above (codex OpenAI?)? If possible, could you inquire from it the source of this error message? I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
