I’ve been using super cheap VPS just for the public static IP. They reverse proxy straight into my homelab. The wireguard tunnels haven’t gone down after years of no maintenance use.

Someone else already mentioned that you get much more for 1$. Check out BuyVM 3.50$ plan.

This is the way. I’m doing that. Mac Mini M4 Pro with 48G RAM as a headless llama.cpp server. I much prefer using " thin clients " as the interface to the big VMs running in my homelab

For some , the idea that some proprietary information could potentially leak is enough to justify any price.

I’m done with macOS. My Mac Mini is strictly a headless server for llama.cpp. I use a Linux workstation. If I were limited to use Mac hardware , I would install Linux in VMware Fusion and work from there.

1.2TB/s is 2/3 the speed of an nVidia 5090. But you get a generic computer and much more RAM. And you lose a couple of organs.

Exactly. People are asses. Don’t assume you know everybody’s history. Maybe the guy is one legged and has to jump on the toilet seat to keep his balance.

Do we really need more examples of why local LLMs are an absolute necessity?

I was mistaken. Our solar system is flat. Galaxies are mostly flat. But the universe is not flat. Galaxies are all over the place. So, I was mistaken. But, just to be clear: I am not a flat earther! Flat is relative here. The thickness of o

Not sure what your argument is. Ukraine is keeping its head out of the water despite Trump doing everything it can to help Russia. It shows how much Ukraine is resilient and innovative with drones. Trump has depleted the ammo needed by Ukr

It’s not because you didn’t find use cases for local LLMs that there are none. I use local LLMs on my Mac Mini M4 Pro with 48G to review text messages tone, act as a text correction tool, act as a code review tool, to do code agent work, ge

In the README there is usually a section where it explains which llama.cpp parameters to configure (sampling, penalties, context size, etc) to get better results.

You think the tarrifs proceeds are going in the government coffers? Trump is officially billions richer since he became president for a second term. Officially.

Hasn’t won against Iran. Is out of ammo. Cannot win against Russia in the proxy war with Ukraine. Cannot match China with their long term energy plans. Has debt that explodes Has a president that sells early access to his tweets for 100k$ a

As a Canadian, I am willing to suffer if it means long term benefits. Carney is very popular for a reason.

In Canada , there are cases where people self represent in court because they think a LLM replaces an expensive lawyer. The last one that tried that was fined 5,000$ for wasting the court’s time.

I’ve been with FastMail for probably over 25 years. The only downside is that search is not as effective as Gmail. Other than that, they have everything I would want an email provider to provide. On the last renewal I checked the competitio

Fnox and Nono are the ones I know that do credentials proxying. That approach seems quite better than scanning a host file system for secrets.

By far the best solution. I find the curation to be top notch. You get an archive in your mail box. Quite useful to me because there can be moments I consume hn in unhealthy ways and other times where I don’t consult hn for months. So,

I understand the B70 is a bargain vs AMD and especially nVidia offerings, but to me it feels like I would be buying something that would feel too limited in less than a year. 48G would be much more confortable. And I know the 96G nVidia car
