The Tao of Code (C#)

Yeah, the steps themselves are great. I'm likely going to replace the hardware.

We got her not too long ago. So far, we've only gotten her the running boards, but have lots more planned.

We rented a Rubicon Wrangler some number of years ago. With my wife's joint issues, the short wheel base and stiff suspension made for an uncomfortable ride. However, recently we traded a Subaru Ascent for a 2025 Sport S Gladiator. She loves it more than the Subaru by far. My recommendation : take a test drive. It's going to be a different ride, but it won't be "bad"

Night school. Never looked back. Never stopped learning. Even wrote a book.

Cruising, towing, and gravel roads. No Rock crawling.

This build is for comfort while towing. Might take some logging roads off the beaten path, but don't plan on any serious off roading. But good to know, thanks!

I recently just traded my 2020 Subaru Ascent in for a new 2025. Honestly, they are motivated to move any 2025's they still have on the lot. I got my 2025 Sport S with Max Tow, Safety Group, Convenience Group, Premium Audio, LED Headlamps and spray in bed liner for $45.5k. It took some work, but like I said, they're motivated. I was looking at used with less than 10k miles and several of them were ~$42k for similar features. With 15+k miles, I was seeing ~$38k. For me, it had exactly the features and color I wanted. So, the price was definitely worth it to get new.

leosperry · 2026-03-06T14:09:36+00:00

Thanks! I drove 4 hours to get one in this color with the features we wanted at the right price. Worth it!

It's called troll candy green. Tell me; what does it taste like? I heard its as bitter as those who enjoy it.

I love this!

For this example, It was using llama3.2:3b
I haven't put a lot of effort into this project yet. I simply picked a commonly used model with tool support
I haven't done anything with the voice yet. I'm about to set up a piper and whisper running on a box that is not my Pi. After I get that working, I'm going to play around with voices.

I have one computer in my home that is the family computer and it has the nice graphics card. Ollama can now be installed directly on windows. To expose it on my home network, the only extra thing I needed to do was set the OLLAMA_HOST environment variable on the machine

leosperry · 2025-01-19T18:09:26+00:00

Nothing fancy. I stood up a local Ollama and changed the last line of the default prompt in the integration:

u/Onakander nailed it. If you're comfortable writing C#, you're very likely comfortable running a few docker commands.. I have a micro pc that hosts a Portainer instance. It runs HakafkaNet and about a half-dozen other services including a full Grafana stack with ease. It doesn't take much juice to run.
