lamma.cpp is faster than olama + ollama is build on top of lamma.cpp so its a wrapper for lamma.cpp lamma.cpp is the way even for beginners. You can easily use hugging face models ( just download an use them) and if you use ollama and downloaded...

Why? is llama.cpp better? Easier to setup / work with? Or something else?

Good software. I mostly run llama.cpp now, but ollama is good for beginners and I still run it on FreeBSD.

These forums go a long way to make FreeBSD a great system to use. I am constantly amazed at the depth of knowledge to be found here.

I don't know, if I should be able of that. But since I'm not I find it better to review than wild unconsidered typing. And looking at many other posts I doubt everybody else but me is capable of getting everything right in the first take, even if...

Nope. You can run commercial software on the linuxulator. However, the install program, and / or the startup scripts might not work unmodified on FreeBSD with the linuxulator. Also, if the program in question requires one or more shared (linux)...

FWIW, the lama_run.sh (my name) script fails if the models are stored in a directory tree with depth > 1. Example: tingo@locaal:~ $ find $HOME/.cache//huggingface/hub -name "*.gguf"...

You are probably using a newer version of llam-server than me, mine does not ssuport lod-mode,. it seems tingo@locaal:~ $ sh bin/run_llama.sh Pick an AI model to run: 1) 0.00G Qwen3.8-27B-IQ2_XS.gguf 2) 0.00G...

A solution that surrounds everything? I play mostly classic DOS and PS1/PS2 games and some Nintendo from a local medium. Steam games could be an additional option. Games are all fullscreen, so the technical difference doesn't have to exist. A...

Oh there are a ton of benefits for programming with AI, as a tool for programmers. In hands of non programmers it is a slop machine. You simply do not have enough knowledge to force it on track with right decisions. You cannot have enough...

Asking people to choose case for a steam machine that doesnt have any code yet is jumping the gun a bit. our SteamBsd machine, you mean my SteamBSD machine apart from you i dont think anyone else would want to use vibe coded Freebsd steam...

A portal for ALL games would be more interesting. While I never used it, how is Steam not just a remote fileserver + closed source graphics driver? I don't think there's a real service. It's based on a unfair technical advantage of having the...

It should be made decentral/p2p but I think there's no automated requirements detection and installation yet.

Hmm, is there a quicker way of finding out if a given model fits into your GFX card memory than downloading and trying? tingo@locaal:~ $ llama-server \ --host `hostname`.local \ --port 8081 \ --ctx-size $((64 * 1024)) \...

Has anyone tried FreeCORE yet? I was actually working on porting TrueNAS from GitHub myself! I got a successful build, though I was still sorting out some Samba issues. I was checking to see if I could legally release it when I realized someone...

yep.

So went back to quarterly and now this shows as i would expect: # pkg upgrade Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue... FreeBSD-ports repository is up to date. Updating FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalogue... FreeBSD-ports-kmods...

Aye. It's a tumultuous time. Love to look up the history of the area where some of my ancestors came from too. To get an idea of the world view they might have had. Haven't found any nobility, nothing like that. Some interesting jobs but mostly...

It was. the hostname command only gives that, I failed to add the domain (.local in this case) part. I know, very bad of me.

aha! it's not an error, the machine is named locaal.local. So a bit of change tingo@locaal:~ $ llama-server \ --host `hostname`.local \ --port 8081 \ --ctx-size $((64 * 1024)) \ --temp 0.6 \ --top-p 0.95 \...

Chances are that the hostname is the issue. Use the IP address instead of a test.

Is this a thing only on my system or is this a general thing?

Typo: "locaal"

hmm, so far I can't even get it to run tingo@locaal:~ $ llama-server \ > --host `hostname` \ > --port 8080 \ > --ctx-size $((64 * 1024)) \ > --temp 0.6 \ > --top-p 0.95 \ > --top-k 20 \ >...

Having recently traced my family history going back 300 years, I would like to create something to hold my family tree. Searching around for tools I came across https://www.grampsweb.org/ but am not sure how this works, and wondered if there is...

Right, considering the options, we are simply going to serve a static single-page website (see image) when a DDoS occurs, and switch back to normal operations when it's over. The Anubis solution has been partially successful, but it still adds...

We're back to the pre-Anubis setup. Especially Safari users were negatively impacted, possibly due to the hurried Anubis setup and some related errors in its logging (a not entirely functional ip:port combination in X-Forwarding headers and...

Update: the DDoS has passed, but this line of defense will stay in place for the time being. We can switch back and forth between the two setups (with and without Anubis) and will probably make that happen in the near future.

Webbased: www/webtrees22 Works really well. Also allows you to create various events (birth, baptism, marriage, death, etc). You can also store your references, pictures and whatever else you may have found. I used it for my family tree (I'm...

I have used Gramps on Freebsd before its really good Gramps is a gui application, no need for apache sudo pkg install gramps gramps-6.0.8 GTK3-based genealogy program My ancestors in Wales

The thing is that I want to be able to share it with family members. Would it be possible to convert Gramps into a web based app?

Also, xorg-server doesn't even have a dependency on the nvidia-drivers. Even if -nox11 would have accidentally ended up including X, it still doesn't explain the NVidia drivers. Also interesting, it wants to install nvidia-driver-340 and...

I wish there would have been more positive circumstances though.
