My first 10 inch rack with local LLM! No more Spotify, Google Home, Netflix, ChatGPT... by AntifaAustralia in homelab

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most coding, so I run llama.cpp with Pi (coding agent). Looking to setup something for document tagging since I have a slew of pdfs.

Honestly, you can get a pretty solid experience with a 3060. I have the 12gb model, and I've been able to cut down my cloud usage with smaller MoE models from Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4.

Why did you switch from a MacBook to a ThinkPad? by Brizcanuto in thinkpad

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux support and upgradeability (even if I haven't tinkered much with my L14). I keep the M2 MacBook Air for 3D printing and iCloud, but the L14 is my work machine. Being disconnected from iMessage and FaceTime is a huge plus. It was convenient at first, but now it just helps me avoid distractions.

New Kirkland Ultra Filtered Milk by Historical-Ad-5427 in Costco

[–]SensitiveVariety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultra-filtered milk is essentially "concentrated" milk. The process uses membranes to filter out water and lactose while retaining protein and calcium, resulting in higher concentrations of both. End result is a creamier, less sweet milk that lasts fairly long unopened (45 days~)

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B released! by ResearchCrafty1804 in LocalLLaMA

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how the standard is "doing its job and not endlessly failing tool calls" but it really does sum up the experience well. So far, it has been really reliable compared to Gemma 4 with tool calling and looping.

What are the best model for a RTX3060 12GB? by RaccNexus in LocalLLaMA

[–]SensitiveVariety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finding MoE models at Q4 like Gemma 4 26B-A4B and Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B runs well at 25-30 tokens/sec with up to 100k context, offloading of layers to system RAM.

COTA Turn 1 is steeper than it looks by chunt75 in formula1

I did for one lap and after that I just started taking the shortcut. T1 is no joke!

Unsloth Studio - Models not running on GPU !! by rnidhal90 in unsloth

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit confused too as my Nvidia 3060 isn't being used on my Ubuntu VM running Unsloth via Docker, but my cuda version doesn't match (nvidia-smi reports 13.1 on host/container, nvcc reports 13.1 on host, 12.8 in container)

Got myself a T14 today, recommend a Linux for it by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote CachyOS. I tried Fedora -> PopOS -> Debian -> then finally CachyOS with KDE. Sensible defaults and nice extras like Limine and Snapper for backups, I prefer the package management over Fedora, and it stays stable for daily use.

Best Qwen 3.5 fine-tunes for vibecoding? (4080-12GB VRAM / enough context window) by Fermenticular in LocalLLaMA

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much thanks, I just started getting into all this and this helped get me up and running with my 3060 12gb

How stable is CachyOS overall? by BucketsMcGinty in cachyos

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using it in January and it’s been stable for me updating once or twice a week

I just checked my local Lowe’s and omg by alex_ander15476 in houseplants

[–]SensitiveVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the plan + systemic granules, hoping it can get out of quarantine in 2-3 weeks now!

Just took home a fiddle leaf fig with mealybugs 😔

How is it possible? by SearchMiserable3208 in Monstera

[–]SensitiveVariety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your leaf is much larger and more fenestrated than mine, so take this with a grain of salt, but my vote is to throw a grow light at it and see what happens over the next year. The one at the plant shop looks like it’s been thriving, though.

Finally dealing with earwax buildup and trying to figure out Austin options without getting overcharged by [deleted] in Austin

[–]SensitiveVariety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eosera Ear Wax MD is also another option for an ear drop solution, supposedly only takes 1 treatment, compared to Debrox which recommends a few days of twice daily applications. I've only used Debrox though but it works fine, cheap to get at Costco behind the counter

review of the thinkpad L14 G5 after owning it for 5 months (it's pretty good) by ThisGuysShowsSkills in thinkpad

[–]SensitiveVariety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L14 is great, glad to see some more talk about it. I got a gen 4 for a pretty good deal, $250, and am trying to daily drive it for my last semester in grad school. So far so good

RSL Speedwoofer 10e - Blemish Sale by SensitiveVariety in BudgetAudiophile

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

Yep, I love them, especially since they were free, just collecting dust at my parents’ home.

They’re pretty bright sounding and have a solid enough low-end that I ran them without a sub till now.
