Oh I gotcha. I thought you had an app/device/software/etc that would help point out leaks.

That’s dope! Can you give a brief overview of how you accomplish that ?

Sick I’ve never heard of that one before. It seems like we have good options to choose from for phones and OS’s

Ya that’s what I’ve heard. It’s strange but whatever works.

Facts, thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully I can haggle someone down

Half a grand for a phone?!?? Holy smokes, I’m going to check facebook marketplace first.

Love it, thank you! I just dusted off my raspberry pi 4 and am experimenting with it rn. Will definitely reach out to you to trouble shoot if that’s coo.

Gotta be honest, idk what half of the words you just said mean. Core count, vram… still have some learning to do.

My plan is to run ollama on my rig kinda like a server I guess. And then Use my phone to tap into that whenever I need it. From what I researched that seems doable, but will take some set up.

Nice! Good sublemmy to follow! (Is sublemmy the right word)

Thanks for the tips! I just started playing around with ollama so I think the self hosting route is next.

I was kinda doing it wrong. When I download the model it was very slow. But now that I’m using the model my inquires are done at an ok speed (10-30sec depending on what I ask)

Interesting that you need stronger GPU instead of CPU? Can you tell I know next to nothing about tech ….

I just started messing around with ollama. I must be doing something wrong because it’s sooooo slow. I still need to trouble shot it a lil bit before it becomes my main AI.

Sheesh, that sounds like a Black Mirror episode. I know a majority of my info/data now is most likely compromised, but moving forward I can make a difference. Also, I can prep these tools for the young ones in my family who aren’t on the internet yet.

Heck ya! I’ll add it to my list and check it out!

Thanks!

I definitely need some advice for self hosting! I literally have no idea what I’m doing. I have a raspberry pi and another user said that may be enough to get started.

Could you share some videos or links or blogs that explain how to get started?

That does slightly concern me that ddg is linked to Microsoft. If I’m going thru all this trouble to make my life more private then I believe I need to cut out the major companies as well.

Perfect, I’ll check that out!

Most likely. I just heard of it from this post.

Your like the 4th person to recommend libreoffice. That’s at the top of my list now.

I’ll prolly go with libre then since they have the best options that are private. And i have a PC so those Mac options won’t work for me.

Someone else mentioned ente. I’ll have to check that out as well.

Thanks!
