  • I just JBOD a bunch of random sized disks in various forms of enclosures (a 4-bay cheap piece of Chinese shit filled with 4 random sized HDDs harvested from dead PCs, a couple of USB-3 external laptop drives, two random sized SSDs in their own enclosures harvested from dead laptops) within a linux LVM using WSL2 to host all the drives using a VM of Debian running on a Windows PC.

    I think I’ve kludged together approximately 20 Tb of total disk space, and all i need to do to enable Striped RAID on it all is wait for a refurbished single enormous NAS drive to go on sale on Amazon and enable RAID on the LVM as a separate volume.


  • I don’t use gallery apps on my phone because I don’t have the space for terabytes of photos and videos on my phone, but my server sitting in my closet does.

    So Aves and other gallery apps are useless to me, and I’ll stick with whatever native gallery app exists ob whatever phone i use.

    I can remotely view my entire gallery from abroad with Immich (which also happens to allow me to sync photos), and save the space on my phone for more photos.

    It does everything Google charges money for in Google photos, but for free. NextCloud and random gallery apps offers nothing similar.


  • In immich I can open the world map and select photos i took in Hungary and Colorado without having to manually tag and manually locate them, and I have thousands of photos (hundreds of gigs of videos backed up from my phone as well) from the last 25 years taken across the world and can do this seamlessly by simply uploading them and having my server run a heuristic to automatically do this from the photograph metadata, and then proceed to share them with a self-hosted link to my spouse to enjoy.

    Can I do this with NextCloud or on my phone without killing the battery?









  • It abstracts away llama.cpp in a way that, frankly, leaves a lot of performance and quality on the table.

    OP, do you have any telemetry you can show us comparing the performance difference between what you setup on this guide and an Ollama setup? Otherwise, at face value, I’m going to assume this is another thing on the internet i have to assume is uncorroborated bullshit. Apologies for sounding rude.

    I don’t like some things about the devs. I won’t rant, but I especially don’t like the hint they’re cooking up something commercial.

    This concerns me. Please provide links for us to read here about this. I would like any excuse to uninstall Ollama. Thank you!



  • I’m self hosting Vaultwarden and my home server got killed by the hurricane, yet I can still access my passwords just fine on the app because it stores them locally encrypted on my phone from the last time it synced. I just can’t update or change anything until I can bring everything back on.

    So, host your own shit you cowards, it’ll be fine.
