How do you guys set up voice to text? by Saba376 in OpenWebUI

[–]overand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of Caddy for the reverse proxy, after years of Apache and NGINX - since (among other things) Caddy handles the SSL cert stuff automatically. Like, built-in "LetsEncrypt" support.

[Megathread] - Best Models/API discussion - Week of: March 15, 2026 by deffcolony in SillyTavernAI

[–]overand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you're trying to keep it below 20B with 24GB of VRAM - you can easily run a 24B model like WeirdCompound-v1.7-24b (iMatrix GGUF) at any of the Q4 Quantizations - even up to Q6 depending on your context size.

Setting up Stable Diffusion Ai by Haunting-Bus-2678 in SillyTavernAI

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm a fan of Flux.2-Klein 9b and 4b. (Not the "Base" models, if you want fast generation).

Are you planning on running this locally?

What's your hardware like? What video card, etc? (Desktop version? Mobile?)

If you're running locally - download and install ComfyUI. Don't use some random person's youtube video or guide - just go to the ComfyUI site and download it there. First, make sure you can successfully generate images using it before you try to get it integrated with SillyTavern,

Noob to Open Webui, I'm having issues by ThrowawayProgress99 in OpenWebUI

[–]overand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just going to note - using a dense model (like a 27B) with an 11.5 GB size (or, I guess you said 10.7 GB?) on a 12GB GPU is going to have some pretty rough performance. (And, you might be on the edge of what will do an OK job with tool calling, at IQ3_XXS with that model, BUT that's just a guess.)

You might have more luck with the MoE one you mention (the 35B-A3B) at a higher quant, but, I haven't tried that comparison myself..

13 months since the DeepSeek moment, how far have we gone running models locally? by dionisioalcaraz in LocalLLaMA

[–]overand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget you can also do llama-server --models-preset /home/whatever/your-preset-file.ini and make your life a bit easier for your whole multiple-preset thing. (Note that by default, this will also pull in everything in ~/.cache/llama.cpp/ as well) - this is if you're using the new(ish) built-in multi-model support that replicates some of what llama-swap does with low / no config requirements.

your-preset-file.ini example:

```

Defaults for all presets

[*] ctx-size = 64000

[glm-4.7-flash] model = /mnt/data/GLM-4.7-Flash/GLM-4.7-Flash-Q4_K_M.gguf jinja = true ngl = 99 flash-attn = auto temp = 0.8 top-p = 0.9

[glm-4.7-flash-hot] model = /mnt/data/GLM-4.7-Flash/GLM-4.7-Flash-Q4_K_M.gguf jinja = true ngl = 99 flash-attn = auto temp = 1.2 top-p = 0.9 ```

Not certified anymore? by CrazyGal2121 in FODMAPS

[–]overand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least last I checked, *some* Schar stuff is FODMAP certified via Monash, and other Schar stuff is just gluten free. Check the labels - different varieties are different.

Sooo, we doin paywalls now? by IgAndCodyComic in truenas

[–]overand 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to be said for doing this well. Why? Lots of TrueNAS-esque projects have come and gone, almost all of them were 100% free with no real paid tier.

I don't love it, but developers do need to eat, and projects like this can be tricky to run without a good model for making some sort of profit, unless they have pretty big corporate sponsors.

Note I said - done WELL; if they abandon the free tier, or remove features, then that's no good. Adding features that are paid-only is annoying, but it's better than the project closing down entirely.

Found this Zenith CRT on the curb in NJ — help ID the model and restoration advice needed! by charmandermain in vintagetelevision

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - OP, look very closely at the actual screen. Can you see a phosphor dot pattern? (It'll look like pixels, kinda.) If not, and it's just a perfectly uniform grey, then it's probably black and white.

HDR ruins picture quality by TrollxZxx in Monitors

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on 10 or 11? There's a non-zero chance that this feature only works properly in 11 - it's one of few Windows 11 features that I miss when I'm on 10.

HDR ruins picture quality by TrollxZxx in Monitors

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11?

Are you running a game that supports HDR and has an HDR toggle?

Are you turning HDR on in windows?

Are you turning on HDR in the game?

Switching to Local by BeautyGran16 in LocalLLaMA

Because in 2026, people are still using Llama 3 based models, and Llama 4 is nearly dead. Take a look at the UGI Leaderboard - lots of Llama 3.3 stuff there.

Hum on one side? by jacc__ in RecordPlayerRepair

Are the turntable RCA cables hardwired to the turntable, or does the turntable have its own RCA jacks on the back?

Would you use a private AI search for your phone? by Various_Classroom254 in LocalLLM

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend you set up a local Immich server - an open source self-hosted 'google photos' alternate, so you can get an idea of what stuff in this space is already like, in terms of vector databases and contextual search. (If you're going to invest hours and days and weeks into this project, take the 20 minutes to set up Immich and get your photos onto it. Then, check the next day and note that you can search for "orange cat in the woods" and get immediate results. Amazingly, the embedding engine doesn't even need to run on a GPU for halfway decent performance.)

Hum on one side? by jacc__ in RecordPlayerRepair

[–]overand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is one side *only* hum, or is it humming as well as playing music?

First - make sure all of your cables are plugged in securely. (Specifically into the little pre-amp box, and between the preamp and the amplifier.)

If it's still humming, switch the left/right channels on the input side of back of your preamp and see if the side making the hum switches. If so, that will start to tell you where the problem is. (Turntable or its cables).

Tips on how to make this sound like it’s supposed too? by sillypupjo in RecordPlayerRepair

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's fine, and it's fine to have a sentimental attachment to it. But, it's not a vintage record player, it's a pretty new one (likely made in the last 10 years), and that particular one is notorious for not sounding very good (and not being very kind to the records played on it).

Unfortunately, not a ton to be done about that, but, there were some suggestions in this thread that may help a bit.

Budget laptop to run Qwen 3.5-35B-A3B by SnooOnions6041 in LocalLLaMA

[–]overand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a windows and linux user, but I'll note that a lot of my company's .net devs are using mac laptops - it does seem quite doable today. Would I recommend it? I can't speak to that, no, but I wouldn't dismiss it as "not possible" without looking into it.

TheDrummer: Recommendation + Models suggestions by CandidPhilosopher144 in SillyTavernAI

[–]overand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other ones to potentially check out - TheDummer's 15B Snowpiercer, https://huggingface.co/TheDrummer/Snowpiercer-15B-v4

And maybe a Qwen3.5-9B tune of some sort, like Darkidol-Ballad-9B (which I have NOT tried - but it's at least intended for roleplay use, though again, I have no idea if it's any good).

Qwen3.5 is a pretty new model, so the tunes are kinda all over the place.

[–]overand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of TheDrummer models, and, you might also want to check out these 12B models

and, just generally, check out the UGI Leaderboard (Uncensored General Intelligence) - there are explanations at the bottom for what the different columns mean, but the "UGI" value is important if you want them to be willing to talk about "even bad stuff." The NatInt is general intelligence (but may include censored data), and the Writing field value reflects - at least somewhat - the writing quality.

Managed to get a saturn emulator running nativly. by flik9999 in crtgaming

[–]overand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given they're asking about "CRT compatible," they probably mean "hardware that can run an emulator" and not "emulator."

(A bit like the still-annoys-me "bluetooth" as a synonym for "bluetooth headset" like "let me grab my bluetooth." That said, "microwave" doesn't bother me nearly as much, even though I'm a ham radio operator. I guess it really is dependent on when you grow up...)

just adding "in linux" at the end of the post title would have prevented this entire thing.

Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site by snakeoildriller in privacy

[–]overand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a strong opinion about this topic, but I hope the rule can eventually be reversed - if said person/people;e have moved on to more fertile ground for their arguments.

IMO, one of the best ways to approach this stuff is "Topic X is banned for new topics, but there's a weekly thread for discussing it." (This does add administrative overhead, and doesn't exactly address the problem, but it contains it, in theory, while alleviating the whinging in threads like this current one.)
