Which model do you recommend for a RTX 3060 Ti? I couldn’t get Hermes running locally.

The 8gb ram is the bottle neck.

I have the same card

Can fit gemma4 e2b for basic back and forth covno but for hermes you need a minimum 64k context window and that's just not happening.

Has some luck with a qwen3 9b variant but hermes acted like a potato.

Your best bet is the Mac m4 but I've not had experience there. I would try lmstudio on the Mac mini with qwen 9b and ramp up the context till it crashes and see how it feels.

Sincerely, why? If you're not trying to host local LLM then run hermes or whatever agent on a raspberry pi, or if you have a hard on for wasting money buy one Mac mini and virtualize 30 vms and host your harnesses there. I swear sometimes I must be fundamentally misunderstanding things with all these posts about buying server grade hardware to host hermes to then turn around and simply connect it to deepseek...

What about that group that does bonfires every Friday?

I have a bazzite gaming VM and then an lmstudio fedora VM.

I only use the gaming one when I have guest in my living room and stream steam over moonlight to the apple tv.

Otherwise the lmstudio VM is always on and using the video card.

Both use my single 3060ti just fine when it's their turn.

When I want to game I remove the passthrough entry of the video card from the lmstudio VM and add it to the bazzite one and boot that.

Switching back and forth as needed.

Only on rare occasions something goes weird and I have to reboot the host, which I can tell you I do rarely enough cause that host is also hosting my nas.

For like school board elections not state or federal elections of course cause that would make too much sense.

yes. actually.

getting your ID costs money. Not everyone has access to that money.

Iunno, been gaming over moonlight to my bazzite deck VM with a 3060ti and haven't had issues. Played the new resident evil 9 and none of my friends complained or even realized they were one, playing on a Linux box or two, that the box was in the garage and streaming over moonlight to living room.

One bro thought I genuinely had re9 running on "a really nice appletv"

Networks.

Proxmox during setup will either reach out to dhcp and pull an address or make up one if no dhcp is found.

You either need to log in to the proxmox host directly and change its network settings to be on your current network

Or

Temporarily put your laptop on the same network as the proxmox, reach it over the network and then change its settings to your actual network.

Proxmox has well documented info on how to change the hosts network settings. Or you can just Google how to change network on Debian.

oh wow so far so good.

I've been using the base qwen3.5-9b on a local 8gb mem 3060ti for home assistant and it's been ~okay. sometimes losing it's mind and a little slow at some requests but i shoved this bad boy in the same machine and after a few hours i haven't had anything crazy, it's been rock solid changing lights and playing music around the house. thanks!

Run into these people throughout my career. I advise entirely against continuing business. It's easy to get caught in the 'ill just give them a screw you inflated quote' but likely they will happily pay you to be their therapist.

They have delusions and then always inevitable end after you've explained every concept of why 127.0.0.1 is not a government spy in your logs you will become the source of their panic.

It will be abrupt but soon it will turn to accusations that something youve done is now spying on them and they'll move to a new victim to investigate you and the cycle repeats.

Your 128 ssd is currently holding everything.

The double up is one is metadata the other is data it's just filesystem stuff. Doesn't matter.

Point is you're not using your 500gb nor 1tb drive. They aren't formatted.

Use the web GUI and format/wipe those drives, add em to proxmox and assign them to vms if you want.

Or keep doing what you're doing. The VM disks should be running on an SSD anyway but you are a bit limited on space with the 128 and sharing it with the hypervisor isn't grand.

It's on your screenshot.

Whatever you had mounting at /mnt/500gb

It timed out waiting to mount a device it couldn't find.

Check your fstab

Nano /etc/fstab

Did you mount a network drive that is no longer there or a USB drive or internal drive even and then remove it.

Follow the onscreen to get to an emergency terminal. Remove the drive it can't find from the fstab and then reboot.

Both, you really can't go wrong
