All the ones I mentioned can be installed with pip or uv if I am not mistaken. It would probably be more finicky than containers that you can put behind a reverse proxy, but it is possible if you wish to go that route. Ollama will also run system-wide, so any project will be able to use its API without you having to create a separate environment and download the same model twice in order to use it.

Ollama for API, which you can integrate into Open WebUI. You can also integrate image generation with ComfyUI I believe.

It’s less of a hassle to use Docker for Open WebUI, but ollama works as a regular CLI tool.

For notes, I have moved to Joplin with the option to synchronize my data using a WebDAV server. It works really well, and it has both a mobile and desktop app. If you’re interested in developing your project, maybe you can have a look at the options this provides. For example, I really like the ability to separate notes between groups, assign tags, create drawings, and the possibility to use Markdown.

Good luck with your projects! To mirror @enemenemu’s suggestion, I would also look into collaborating with the people trying to push the EU Docs alternative. Not sure if that will work, but it’s worth a shot if you’re interested :D

Fooyin is also a solid choice.

Piracy. I’d buy albums if I had money, though. I’ll slowly phase into getting them once I get some more cash.

I can find most stuff I listen to, and I rarely grow my music library. I mostly listen to 20-30 albums, with some more mainstream music peppered in.

My music library currently sits at 90 gigabytes (mostly flacs), so quite small compared to others I’ve seen around here. Still, I have plenty of variation to keep me entertained :D

If you have Tidal, aren’t there some apps to rip the lossless audio from there? You could get most of the stuff that you need, and then cancel the subscription. If you feel bad, maybe order some merch from the band, haha.

It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

This is a great time for Linux users! :)

What a stupid article. It’s like saying “stop using electric vehicles because you can’t use gas stations”. I don’t understand why he’s so adamant about this? It’s not like Wayland had about 20 years of extra time to develop like X11. People keep working on it, and it takes time to polish things.
