Ollama and Open WebUI, as far as I know, are just open source software projects created to run pre-trained models, and have the same business model as many other open source projects on Github.

The models themselves come from Google, Meta and others. Have a look at all the models available on Hugging Face. The models themselves are just binary files. They’ve been trained and there are no ongoing costs to use them apart from energy your computer uses to run them.

I run Ollama with Open WebUI at home.

A) the containers they run in by default can’t access the Internet, but they are provided access if we turn on web search or want to download new models. Ollama and Open WebUI are fairly popular products and I haven’t seen any evidence of nefarious activity so far.

B) they create a profile on me and my family members that use them, by design. We can add sensitive documents that the models can use.

C) they are restricted by what we type and the documents we provide.

AFAIK the Steam Deck doesn’t have NVIDIA hardware in it, so I don’t see how it would help.

Edit: GeForce NOW is a cloud game streaming service and doesn’t require any NVIDIA hardware.

You might instead just install the Alpaca flatpak. I found it a very easy and quick way to get started.

I run both and most users still choose to watch via Plex. I’d like if Jellyfin took over, but it’s not there yet.

OK now I understand trigger warnings. To be honest, some of my best online memories are from WoW as well.

Understanding each others’ definitions is key to communication, so I’m with you on this one. I’ll often get accused of “you know what I meant!”, when I really didn’t and was honestly asking for clarification.

Kids, don’t take ontology classes even if your friends say it’s cool.

Indeed, the minute (sorry) difference is what made the argument so dumb. In the end it came down to the implementation of the systems we were working withm which were… not good. My favourite thing about 24-hour time is to be able to use 00:00 and 24:00. And the worst thing is notation in systems only going up to 23:59:59.

Whether the saying is “if they think that, then they’ve got another think coming” or “if they think that, then they’ve got another thing coming”.

Whether 12:00:00 is a period of time and could be AM or PM, or whether it was a point in time i.e., the meridian, and was neither AM nor PM.

Your kid doesn’t sound like an asshole, so IMO all good.

Hate to break it to you but that’s unlikely too.

There won’t be 30 more Springs when the endless Summer arrives.

FWIW I run only very small databases e.g., sqlite ones shipped with applications, but haven’t had any problems in about a year now, and nothing that wasn’t recoverable from backup.

Correct, I run docker on a compute host that has no local storage. The host’s disks are on iSCSI LUNs.
