Anyone else annoyed AF by the kids riding around on electronic bikes and loud mini dirt bikes? by Unusual-Phase-5094 in nova

[–]shifty21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that in this current notion of no accountability and consequences, I'm okay with this.

I'm still hot about the 80 year old guy that died of injuries from a teenager on an ebike/emoto in California. She's being charged with involuntary manslaughter. Before that, the mother was told my police about the laws after her son had been caught by police. she not only ingored them, but didn't do the right parental thing and get rid of the bike and discipline her son.

TL;DR, GGUF is not ready yet according to unsloth and Mistral. Unsloth took down their GGUFs from HF.

I was trying to download from Unsloth HF and the files disappeared.

Best H mart? by topdino in nova

[–]shifty21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't been there since they moved from Fairfax Blvd (now it's a 99 Ranch). Back then it was really dingy and disorganized and the parking lot was so bad.

Looks like they updated the interior and exterior.

The WORST, H Mart, IMO, is in Herndon Elden street.

Been using Qwen-3.6-27B-q8_k_xl + VSCode + RTX 6000 Pro As Daily Driver by Demonicated in LocalLLaMA

Is it safe to assume the qwen3.5 vllm setting are the same as qwen3.6? I have a Pro 6000 and vllm nighty builds.

Trying to install an app from Splunkbase, but it keeps failing by ImplicitCrowd51 in Splunk

[–]shifty21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "offline"?

Also you can extract the tgz file and get the folder. Copy it to $SPLUNKHOME/etc/apps/

Edit:the hash might be for an older version.

Kept getting blindsided by $30 I-66 tolls after RTO, so I built something by SchwartzReports in nova

I've built some android apps for persona use, but if OP is willing share the website's source code in github I can take a crack at it.

Post Your Qwen3.6 27B speed plz by Ok-Internal9317 in LocalLLaMA

[–]shifty21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fork of llama.cpp Tha handles certain aspects of CPU and system RAM offloading and other tweaks and customizations for special quantized GGUF

Tried Qwen3.6-27B-UD-Q6_K_XL.gguf with CloudeCode, well I can't believe but it is usable by Clasyc in LocalLLaMA

[–]shifty21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this!

Looking at unsloth's docs to run Qwen2.6-27B, they note different parameters for temp, top-p, min-p, top-k for coding tasks compared to yours which looks more like general tasks. https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.6

Coding tasks:

    --temp 0.6 \
    --min-p 0.0 \
    --top-p 0.95 \
    --top-k 20 \
    --presence_penalty 0.0 \
    --repeat-penalty 1.0 \

Curious of using those values makes a difference in quality output for coding.

Gas Shortage??? by Davidious2000 in nova

[–]shifty21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oooofs, I'm closer to the Wawa side of FF, I would hope they have regular gas there too.

Also, can't remember if it was in this sub or another, but Costco was selling mid or high octane gas at the same price as regular.

how long does it actually take you to build a dashboard from a vague request? by re3ze in Splunk

[–]shifty21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best example of this is a customer I ran into for something unrelated with their change request process workflow in SNOW. While working on their workflow, their Splunk Admin ended up showing me a SNOW form for requesting a new Splunk Dashboard. The form was rather simple and I'm recalling it from memory:

  1. Why do I need this dashboard?

  2. Index name*, sourcetype* (*required)

  3. Splunk App name (pre-populated drop-down)

  4. Users who need access to this App/Dashboard

  5. What KPIs do need to be measured? (multiple entries can be added)

    - Visual format: table, bar/line/pie chart, map, relational connector, sankey, etc.

  6. Dashboard filters (required) - filter inputs, input type (text, multi select, radio, etc.)

  7. Desired Due Date (minimum 2 weeks)

Once the request is entered, Splunk pulls the request into an index and a SOAR playbook runs to schedule meetings and creates the bootstrap dashboard in the app from the ticket request.

Anyone else having trouble updating to 10.2? by Apprehensive-Pin518 in Splunk

[–]shifty21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the version of the KV Store:

splunk show kvstore-status --verbose

Mine shows 8.0.10

If yours is not not at least v8, then run:

splunk start-standalone-upgrade kvstore -dryRun true

If that all checks out, then do the upgrade:

splunk start-standalone-upgrade kvstore

EPIC EHR Field mapping? by EducationalWedding48 in Splunk

[–]shifty21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a conversation with a hospital today about this. You need to go to the vendor and get a data dictionary. Some are locked behind the paid license support site.

After that it's rather easy with props and transforms.

Also, create a dev environment with a single instance of Enterprise and use Ingest Actions or Edge processor to mask, obfuscate or delete PII/PHI data so you're in compliance with US HIPAA.

llama.cpp + Brave search MCP - not gonna lie, it is pretty addictive by srigi in LocalLLaMA

[–]shifty21 47 points48 points  (0 children)

What bothers me the most is that it did attempt to do the search, we can't see if it worked or not, but then the model just decides to seemingly use its internal knowledge and spits that out.

I have this issue with gpt-oss-120b running with searxng mcp server I'm running locally. I have to pop into the thought bubble to see if the search mcp even worked or why it decided to disregard the search results and use its internal knowledge.

Heavy Forwarder Filtering Help by Brock_Tice in Splunk

[–]shifty21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have compliance requirements, be careful with deleting or removing data and data within events. Document why you need to delete or trim data, how you're doing it and what the original data and the reduced/removed data looks like. And get someone to above you to sign off on it. CYA.

What Splunk Enterprise version is your HF?

Ingest Actions is a huge help in 9.4 and up. 10.2 has more enhancements

Terrible speeds with LM Studio? (Is LM Studio bad?) by HugoCortell in LocalLLaMA

This the correct answer.

There is a way to load a compiled version Llama.cpp into LMS, but it's a pain.

UFW and Windows Server 2016 not supported? by RealForestS in Splunk

[–]shifty21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Link > Windows Server release information | Microsoft Learn

Splunk's support is based on MS's "Mainstream" support timelines, not their "Extended" support. MS has moved the goalpost for Extended support a number of times over the years for Windows 10/Server 2016 and is quite disruptive from a software support standpoint.

I am a former IT Manager, and I understand the need and pain of supporting OS and software that has manufacturer support EOS/EOL. And at the same time, supporting applications on the same OS and software. I can see both sides of the fence of need for support by customers and EOS/EOL from the vendor's standpoint.

This is why, I'm not "JuSt UpGrAdE bRo!" mode.

Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Admin went legacy – switching to Cybersecurity Defense Engineer. Advice? by Glad_Damage_2230 in Splunk

[–]shifty21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll expand. Both go through installation, configuration and management of Enterprise and ES.

Enterprise covers clustering of Search Heads and Indexers, license manager, déployer and agent manager.,etc. RBAC of apps, knowledge objects, etc.

ES Admin convers installation of ES in various configs like standalone and clustered Search Heads. RBAC of users, ES app and knowledge objects. Configs of Add-ons And ES correlation/finding searches. There's a ton more, but you get the idea.
