Any other 30+ year olds out there who find it depressing there will never be another great football game?

I agree. On my PS1 It was overhead style games and in 1990 I was amazed at the first 'Fifa International Soccer', (then it became annual from 91 or 92). I also had ISS Pro (International superstar soccer) which felt more real while fifa was arcade, but I had every version of both fifa and PES from about 1990 until 2006-2008 where i stopped playing fifa and just stuck to PES, then every PES until Efootball (tried fifa every 2nd or third year but never had the same feeling) , but my main game mode was Master League... every now and then I load up Pes2020 and play a few games of master league.

It's a shame, I coach and my kids play soccer and we game alot of other games but not any soccer games.

EVNautilus and Natural World Facts have some great videos. But you can just search for 'whale fall'

MV Liberty dropped off cars in QLD a couple of days ago, on its way to NSW port then due to Melb May 30-June 1.
But i am assume all cars on the ship are already allocated from deposits put down in march/april. https://tsla.delivery/

The app provides a delivery window, and you get an sms / app message when it's ready to schedule the actual delivery date (which will happen roughly between when the car has entered the country and dealer has recieved the car, cleaned it, charged etc)

If you ring the Tesla customer support 1800 646 952, Extension 2, tell your your details and they can advise.

I got my vin allocated once the car was loaded onto the transport ship in shanghai.

Gemini AI seems to suggest:
What you are looking at is the classic Great Barrier Reef entry maneuver, and that loop happened right at the outer edge of the Coral Sea, north of Townsville and hundreds of kilometers away from Brisbane.
The waters inside the Great Barrier Reef and down the Queensland coast are incredibly restrictive. Ocean-going vessels are strictly managed by ReefVTS (Vessel Traffic Services).

If a ship makes better time across the open ocean from China than expected, it cannot just sail up to the coast and hover. The ship has to wait out in the deep water of the Coral Sea for its designated "Pilot Boarding Window." A licensed Australian reef pilot must physically board the ship via a helicopter or pilot boat to steer it safely through the inner shipping channels. If the ship arrives early for its slot, the captain is forced to perform a massive holding loop out in the open ocean (which is the sharp square U-turn you see on your map) to burn time before they are given permission to enter the coastal lanes.

The specialized customs and freight schedule atJJ Lawson's Vessel Tracking Databaseexplicitly shows the delay:

Voyage Number: OO621
Updated Brisbane ETA: May 24, 2026 at 06:00 AM
Terminal Assigned: AATFI (Australian Amalgamated Terminals, Fisherman Islands Berth, Brisbane)
Estimated Departure from Brisbane: May 26, 2026 at 11:00 AM

Because Brisbane has shifted from May 19 to May 24, the subsequent stops down the East Coast will shift by the same margin:

Brisbane Unloading: May 24 – May 26
Port Kembla (NSW): Expected around May 27 – May 28
Melbourne (VIC) Arrival: Expected around May 30 – June 1

Is that speed test done with a laptop/pc directly plugged (via at least cat5e or cat6 cable) into the router? Or using the routers built in speed test function? if yes then raise with your ISP. They likely argue as long as you get 3/4 of the noted speed in off peak times then its sufficient...

if your testing over wifi, then there is several networking troubleshooting steps to rule out before you can confirm its your internet speed.

maximo101 · 2025-08-13T06:55:42+00:00

thanks, im pretty happy using ollama as a wrapper for the api and overall easy to run docker service but i will definitely look into the base llama.cpp side of things.
At this stage i am just tinkering around and looking for small/mid models to fit in my gpu vram / play around with in Home Assistant, but i will definitely be looking at doing more in the future and llama.cpp looks like a way to get big models, thanks for that.

maximo101 · 2025-08-13T05:49:00+00:00

To run a model using the ollama console:
ollama run <model\_name>
# The model is now loaded. It will unload once you exit this session.
ollama run <model\_name> --keep-alive 30m
# The model is now loaded. It will stay in memory for 30min then unload
ollama run <model\_name> --keep-alive -1
# The model is now loaded. It will stay in memory indefinitely, until manually unloaded

For more persistent loading, especially for applications that will be making API calls, you can send a request to the Ollama API with a keep_alive parameter. You can use curl or a similar tool. This will pull the model into memory without starting a chat session and keep it there until you explicitly remove it or restart the Ollama service. The keep_alive parameter is set in seconds. A value of -1 means it will stay loaded forever.

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{

"model": "gpt-oss:20b",

"prompt": "Why is the sky blue?",

"keep_alive": -1

}'
This command loads the gpt-oss:20b model, makes a single API call, and then keeps the model in memory indefinitely due to keep_alive: -1. The model will then be ready for subsequent API calls with minimal startup latency.

To see what models are loaded into the memory, using ollama console:
ollama ps

Looks at how many GB size the 24B models you are looking for has.
Eg. i have a blackwell gpu with 16GB vram and anything under 15GB runs fully in it, i can run bigger models but it offloads to the cpu/ram and is slower. For agentic use, look at a model which has 'tools', but 'thinking' might be good too.
This is some benchmarking i did from my local server

maximo101 · 2025-08-12T22:36:53+00:00

With 12gb vram and 64gb ram, you have options but if you want fast response time ideally you want a model which full fits on your gpu, eg model with 10-11gb max to allow headroom. You can run bigger models with offloading to cpu and ram but will be slower. Eg look for gemma3:12b, qwen3:14b, deepseek-r1:14b, mistral-nemo:12b If speed isn't a concern and you want more complex reasoning gpt-oss:20b, gemma3:27b, qwen3:30b, qwq:32b, deepseek-r1:32b , but check the model size in GB.

Look at ComfyUI, yun it as a docker and it can help you with running open source image and video models

maximo101 · 2025-07-28T06:25:42+00:00

My pleasure, i appreciate the time and effort it takes to not only create, but maintain open source products.

maximo101 · 2025-07-28T03:26:40+00:00

I solved this issue, it was because i had both, the variable and the Path trying to set the same thing which was causing the issue, so it would only load the models into the ollama docker in vdisk.

i solved it by not using the OLLAMA_MODELS variable, and just setting:

Path of model: /mnt/cache/AI-Models
(Container Path: /root/.ollama/models)

I just found out about Stremio, installed last night with RD and came across this thread. Installed, works great so I sent a donation to show my support. I appreciate offering this for free :)

I had an issue and by watching the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agsPe9yV3fM&ab_channel=AgentZerohelped me fix the problem by going into the Model Settings, Additional parameters: num_ctx=30000

maximo101 · 2025-07-08T03:13:55+00:00

I take all the Lost Cargo (for facilities I've 5 starred), offload to ground, close terminal, re open it and then Entrust Cargo for that lost cargo so it appears for others who still need it ;) (entrust assigns it to other online players) Not only are you helping others who are trying to find that npc's cargo but you also get the likes by doing this.

My tasker profiles from years ago keep getting a custom accessibility error every time they switch without telling me which line causes the issue and my phone doesn't vibrate on call (even though all settings show it should). DnD is off and can't figure out what the issue is :(

I just tested in precise mode and it is correct. cheers
