@ironicbadger Don't worry about the delay, I'm sure the new build will be Epyc. Looking forward to the video (and curious what you will populate all the pcie slots with) πŸ™ƒ

Time for a new blog post. I actually tried to code something of value, it may even be useful to someone! 🀞️ Check out my attempt at adding voice note transcription functionality to #nextcloud https://blog.octopusx.de/posts/plugin_unplugged/

Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model?

@linkwarden Fantastic job on the project and congratulations on the milestone! I just created a helm chart for it for personal use, made it available for anyone else in case they are interested in hosting their own in kubernetes: https://teapot.octopusx.de/octocloudlab/-/packages/helm/linkwarden/0.1.0

For a while I was planning to create a self-hosted Gitea instance dedicated to sharing my public repositories and artefacts, and finally it's here. I will be using https://teapot.octopusx.de/ going forward to host any code examples and reference materials related to my blog posts. For now you can use it to download and deploy my new https://refact.ai/ helm chart. Chart structure derived from the now archived https://github.com/k8s-at-home project.

I spent the last couple of weeks of my free time playing with self hosted large language models, having not played with AI much before. Just published a new blog post outlining my journey: https://blog.octopusx.de/posts/reasonably_large_language_models/ Enjoy!
