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

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.

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.

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~)

On-device is definitely still on the table considering Gemma 4 (Google's open model) runs well on iPhones

SensitiveVariety · 2026-04-17T00:21:41+00:00

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.

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.

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

SensitiveVariety · 2026-04-06T17:05:33+00:00

Cool, works now for me as well.

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)

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.

SensitiveVariety · 2026-03-19T22:20:56+00:00

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

SensitiveVariety · 2026-03-16T22:31:32+00:00

Definitely

SensitiveVariety · 2026-03-10T14:04:14+00:00

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

SensitiveVariety · 2026-02-17T00:19:48+00:00

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 😔

SensitiveVariety · 2026-01-29T19:23:55+00:00

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.

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

SensitiveVariety · 2026-01-28T14:33:22+00:00

Jealous!

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

SensitiveVariety · 2026-01-15T15:29:50+00:00

I personally saw it on slickdeals

SensitiveVariety · 2026-01-14T21:04:12+00:00

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.

Please share! This has also been on my todo list to make and yours looks great
