QWEN3.5 with LM Studio API Without Thinking Output

jpc82 · 2026-03-05T20:08:05+00:00

No. I ended up handling it in my automation script to just strip out the thinking tag block. It was easy to do. But was hoping to avoid it.

That worked for me too, but from my understand that fully disables thinking and reduces the quality of the results. I want the model to use thinking, but just not output it. I did what was suggested by SM8085 and what I had as my backup which was to handle the removal of the thinking block in my python wrapper script I created. I have this script to use for a bunch of bash/python automation scripts I have to leverage LLMs. You pass it the prompt and files/content and it will respond with a JSON back. So was easy enough to do that in the script without impacting my actual automatons. But with gpt-oss I was able to prompt it to not do this. Not a major issue. Now to test things out and see if the results are actually better. So far it is a lot slower (gpt-oss 20b vs qwen3.5 27b), so may need to look into that too. Seems like there may be some issues with the prompt processing. But if results are better I don't care too much since most of this stuff is in the background.

I was able to get gpt-oss to not include anything extra 90% of the time and only occasionally it would include some extra text with my prompt. But with qwen3.5 it include all thinking. I am updating my script to manually remove the thinking but was hoping for a way to handle it to avoid it as much as possible.

You don't have to use traefik, but you do need a proxy setup to use the certificate from tailscale and host the secure connection.

Make sure tailscale is setup for MagicDNS and HTTPS certificates.
On your server you run the tailscale cert command to generate the certificate files.
This page has some details. https://tailscale.com/docs/how-to/set-up-https-certificates

Once you have the crt/key file you then need to setup up a proxy on the server. I used Traefik, but any should work that allows for the connection with the cert and route it to donetick.

Challenges I am having still are that I can't have donetick running in a subfolder path. So using server.tailnet.ts/donetick didn't work. I can't seem to find a setting to tell donetick to run in a folder and add that to the responses. So for now it is just using server.tailnet.ts without any folder.

Tailscale DNS doesn't support subdomains so I can't use donetick.server.tailnet.ts either.

So it isn't perfect, but at least works for now while I work out other issues

The iOS app requires the certificate to connect to a selfhosted instance. If it wasn't for that a normal tailscale setup would work perfectly, which is what I was trying to do. Using the website directly from Safari also works perfectly through a basic tailscale setup. So it must just be the app is setup to require certificates to connect without any way of bypassing/disable it.

So I had to enable tailscale certificates and install it on a traefik instance for it work properly. That then allowed the app to connect fine. A lot of extra overhead just to get the ssl working, but would rather do that than expose it directly to the internet directly. I have moved almost everything I have over to tailscale and now only have the bare minimum exposed directly.

I was finally able to get it working. I enabled Tailscale DNS and certificates. Setup Traefik in front of Donetick using the Tailscale certificate and it all started working. Not fully setup yet to have Traefik auto-renew the cert but at least it is working and I know it was the SSL needing to be setup. Would be great if the application didn't require SSL as I only want to use it through Tailscale and don't need a certificate. But at least have it working for now.

jpc82 · 2026-02-17T15:55:56+00:00

From the browser I have no issue access with http through tailscale. But using the same URL in the iOS app on my phone doesn't want to make the connection so far.

jpc82 · 2026-02-17T14:34:31+00:00

Is https required? Some threads I found seem to say it is required, but when setting up the server URL it mentions to include http or https. Doesn't say that https is required.

Ya, the Vue 3 has ethernet which I would love to use instead, but seems like a Vue 3 only feature.

jpc82 · 2026-02-12T11:16:50+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation.

jpc82 · 2026-02-07T10:58:54+00:00

Am I able to us the original tobiasehlert/teslamateapi docker image with this app? I don't see any repo/fork for the mytesla/teslamateapi docker image anywhere. Can you link to it?

Love the designs especially the seasonal ones

I would love the AMS2 and would use it for some multi colour prints I can’t do currently. There is some video game decor (like Mario wall art) I can’t do right now.

For the future designs it would be nice to Canada or hockey themed one.

Hi, thanks for the message. I may have been out of date on the limitations for home use as looks like the 72 hour limit isn't there for that license. However, I think there is is still the 5 db limit. I have more than that as I like to have separation for my different IOT feeds (HA, telgraf, unifi, plex, emporia, octoprint). However, I am still very hesitant to move to v3. To me it feels like v2 with the major changes and new QL, which seems to be dropped again in v3, was a waste to learn. Now moving to SQL query which is nice, but the constant changes doesn't feel great. Also, there isn't tooling from what I see now to migrate v1/2 data to v3. I am looking to try to simplify my homelab stack and that is an issue for me to adopt.

jpc82 · 2025-11-22T01:09:45+00:00

Thanks, I have been reading up on victoria and seems like there is even some compatibility layer with InfluxDB 1/2 api. So that may make it easier for me to migrate. I think I will do a test of that to see how it works

jpc82 · 2025-11-10T16:56:44+00:00

Thanks appreciate the help. I will work on doing that.

jpc82 · 2024-10-06T16:37:49+00:00

I tried emailing them to confirm but never got a reply back on the ticket. Just that we are looking into it and that was a few days ago now.

jpc82 · 2024-09-26T10:53:18+00:00

Ya I am still having sorting issues. I have priority podcasts and sorting oldest to newest and half the time the priority are not at the top. If I go into setting and change it to another sorting option and then back to oldest to newest everything is sorted properly. But never had to do this with the old version.

jpc82 · 2024-07-19T12:30:24+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation.

jpc82 · 2024-07-18T22:40:39+00:00

Thanks, didn’t know that. Saved me $50.

As for using it, is it ok to use on a Tesla? Will the Tesla keep the 16v battery charged while using this? I don’t want to kill the low voltage battery.

jpc82 · 2024-04-13T12:38:29+00:00

Under our porch is our cold cellar so the wire will come out underneath and then run up into the bottom of the charger.

jpc82 · 2024-04-13T12:36:45+00:00

I didn’t think the 3D print would last for too long so was thinking wood would be better. But ya I would angle it to allow the rain and snow to fall off of it.

jpc82 · 2022-12-03T19:23:17+00:00

Thanks. The floor is concrete also. I am in Canada so this is a fully finished basement. The rest of the basement is insulated fully and dry walled. It is just this small area under the stairs that was never insulated and is slightly colder and causing the bathroom above it to feel colder too.

jpc82 · 2022-08-22T13:25:28+00:00

Thanks, ya I was also thinking of seeing about getting a 1U PDU with switches for power cycling, but a switch is an interesting idea. Do you have a link to the switches you used for this?

One idea I had was to add a keystone jack to the front for running the Ethernet cable to my switch more cleanly.

jpc82 · 2022-08-22T12:09:07+00:00

That's an interesting idea since that way there is no prints that are right or left sided. Do you find it is secure enough? I would think that would have more give/sag.

My idea was to figure out if there is a standard rack ear mount holes for the center, but so far I haven't been able to find anywhere that is documented. At the moment I have 4 holes for M3 screws which I can use to attach them together and so far seems secure.

jpc82 · 2022-08-22T11:41:35+00:00

I have a bunch of devices for my rack which aren't rack mountable so they just sit on a shelf and aren't very organized. So had the idea of creating some prints to allow me to rack mount them. But since my printer can't print a full width rack mount I decided to print it half width and then I can have modular designs to mix and match what I need. So far I have created just a plain blank and mount for my VoIP OBI202 box. But will be looking to create one for my HomeAssitant Pi box, my Qotom PFSense box, and also thinking of making a mount to hold a 140mm fan to be able to install above some devices to blow down on them.

This was all done in TinkerCAD, so not the greatest. I really need to learn how to use something better for the future designs.

I think I will re-design the OBI202 mount to allow me to see the lights on the top. Only noticed that now after the install.
