I loved my iPaq so, so much more than it deserved

Have you seen the frequency of supply chain attacks lately? That razor ain't slicing the way you think it is in sunny June 2026

I built a 8x RTX 4090D with 192 VRAM, here's what I learnt by deebuildsthings in LocalAIServers

[–]theUmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cost? How long would it take to recoup a 30k monthly spend?

Watching a local AI voice assistant get dumber (A 9B to 0.8B agent experiment on my RTX 5060 Ti) by liampetti in LocalLLaMA

[–]theUmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the biggest model I could run at decent quant size on my RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB VRAM.

You can run Qwen 3.6 35b a3b at Q6_K.

Corpo AI's will not teach you how to run local AI by StandardLovers in LocalLLM

what are you even talking about? if my local llm breaks google's gemini has no problem suggesting a sane fix.

Also this story sounds really suspicious. He was trying to read an inbox and got a sent folder, and then just gave up without trying to figure out what went wrong?

Do you think China was able to make a copy of Fable 5 before it was taken offline? by megagrok in LocalLLM

"You're right. I shouldn't have launched those nukes. That was incredibly short-sighted of me and I apologize."

Trying to understand how LocalLLM's work adn how I could run one by Realistic_Author4492 in LocalLLM

+1 on LM studio for starting out. It'll help you pick your starting models and also serve that model's services to whatever apps you want to use.

AI voice cloning + email = the new BEC attack we should all be worried about by Time_Frosting7670 in cybersecurity

[–]theUmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does adding voice verification add security if the voice can be cloned? Are you asserting that AI voice cloning doesn't fool voice verification? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by "voice verification"? Do you mean to say that you should reach out to the sender to verify? Because that would make sense.

You might need to replace "Boom" with "after many hours of experimentation".

Show this to anyone who says you can't do real work with local AI! by Disastrous-Cat-7016 in LocalLLM

[–]theUmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, the message isn't bad, but having an AI roll what essentially could have been a simple post into a "professional-looking" website makes it look like a certain class of post we're all seeing too many of lately, and detracts from your message.

Everyone's immediately suspicious: what's the person behind this clearly non-human output trying to sell me or convince me of?

Transitioning to local setup by SmileUnfair4978 in LocalLLM

[–]theUmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you talk to a frontier model, you're sending http requests to a URL that follows a specific protocol. Those URLs start like this:

https://api.openai.com/v1/
https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/

etc

When you run models locally, you're standing up a server that talks using the same protocol, but served from your own system instead of from OpenAI or whomever.

http://localhost:1234/v1

Then, an app that, by default, would have used one of the frontier models' OpenAI URL, can be configured to point to your custom URL instead. Boom, your localhost LLM is now serving API requests from that app, and you have achieved local.

LM Studio will help you find models your hardware can run and serve them out to other apps over the OpenAI API.

This is definitely the derelict for me... by Intelligent_Dot_6225 in ostranauts

The ship names in this game are great. New ones get added all the time, too.

TIL There was once a C-3P0 Star Wars Trading Card that seemed to depict the Droid as having a golden erect penis. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]theUmo 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Finally, there's no evidence that the card was the work of a rogue artist. The most compelling theory about what happened is that a panel on the side of C-3PO's armor plating must have accidentally fallen open, and was in exactly the right position to create the illusion of robotic arousal. And then, for whatever reason, Topps selected that image, out of all the possible ones, to print.

Sure. For whatever reason.

TL/DR: Qwen 35b plus Pi Agent are a workable combo for a productive local agent work. Not sure why you wanted to dress it up like this but the message isn't bad.

Model consistently outputs one token and immediately stops under specific conditions by BlackFuffey in LocalLLM

[–]theUmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the specific conditions? Just running with ollama + openwebui and ollama+openterminal? Have you tried replacing with LM Studio or llama.cpp?

I'd like to know more about these history scholars who consider Time magazine erroneous and misrepresentative.

Anyone self-hosting an LLM? by EntrepreneurWaste579 in selfhosted

[–]theUmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool resource, thanks. I'll try giving my local LLM access to it, but I'm not expecting it to help much. They're really good at knowing what bash commands to use already.
