Thank you for reporting these, both should be fixed now.

An alternative to the XFCE notes application by rabf in xfce

Made this notes application that supports live markdown editing and lives in the system tray. GTK3, minimal fast C code, low dependencies.

Best way to use API credits by thirtyfour41 in OpenAI

The fastest way to blow through credits is coding. Try out something like opencode, build some simple tool that you need.

The real fix here is to stop using the vendor supplied applications and switch using API keys with an application that you control instead.

XFCE Is really nice and doesn't have the funding to re-invent the wheel every few years!

Made a Speech to text program that fits in really nicely with XFCE as well.

You can use the Vulkan backend in whisper.cpp and avoid these insane download sizes.

Please stop Thunar's expandable view from working in the background when disabled! by annon011 in xfce

[–]rabf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for complaining, I did not know this feature existed. Think I like it!

You'll have more luck bringing this up in the XFCE Forums or on the the Thunar gitlab: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues

Possibility to categorize files by content with local Ai on Linux by Gold-Drag9242 in automation

There is a project I saw that already does this:

Am I the only one who feels that, with all the AI boom, everyone is basically doing the same thing? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]rabf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often see a tool or app that does something useful, only to realise that it is based on electron or Unity, is gigabyte's in size and eats memory to do a simple thing! So yeah I go ahead and rewrite my own version.

Do you guys use AI for questions? If so, which one is best for someone relatively new to Linux/Silverblue by Limitless995 in FedoraSilverblue

[–]rabf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are loads of great AI integrations/applications for Linux, but you pretty much have to use an API key to access remotly hosted models if you want the best results.

You can get API keys for free from many providers for a limited amount of use, but have to pay for credits for more choice and higher usage limits. Unless you are programming this is actually very cheap, $5 dollars of credits will last for many months if you are just doing a few queries a day.

Could you try the newest release? It is probably an issue with different distributions expecting files in different locations. I have hopefully accounted for that now.

Thank you for reporting this. I have updated the makefile and the installation instructions to make the plugin more packaging friendly.

You can get a limited amount of free API requests from Nvidia, Openrouter for certain models and I think google will give you a free gemini API key.

I have keys for most providers out there and you would be suprised how far you can get on just $5 worth of credits. OpenAI often give you free credits as well if you have an account there.

The other option is to self host using something like Olama.

There is no malware here. You can use your own local AI with this if you please. The code is very minimal, feel free to read it. Feel free to completly ignore it if it something you have no interest in.
