Qwen coder model from Huggingface, following the instructions there to run it in llama.cpp. Once that’s up: OpenCode and use the custom OpenAI API to connect it.
You’ll get far better results than trying to use other local options out of the box.
There may be better models potentially but I’ve found Qwen 2.5 etc to be pretty fantastic overall, and definitely a fine option beside Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini. I’ve tested the lot and it’s usually far more down to instruction and AGENTS.md instructions/layout than it is down to just the model.

Technology@lemmy.world•Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questionsEnglish
1344·2 months agoI post there every 6-12 months in the hope of receiving some help or intelligent feedback, but usually just have my question locked or removed. The platform is an utter joke and has been for years. AI was not entirely the reason for its downfall imo.
Success story here. 6+ years running pihole on proxmox as my primary DNS for everything on my network. It’s never missed a beat, never crashed. I update infrequently. It’s just good software.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Journiv self hosted journal: Now with markdown and inline media supportEnglish
2·4 months agoLooks fantastic! I’m going to install it on my cluster this coming week for sure. Didn’t see but is there any plan to support locations or routes? Having location data along with some basic plotting could make this perfect for travel journaling too, which I’d be interested in…

I’ve already reached out to several in my country, on the maybe list. Annoying to see this crop up again.
Yes, you probably want Geyser: https://geysermc.org/

Technology@lemmy.world•LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVsEnglish
3·1 year agoThis is why I unplugged my TV from the internet some time ago. It’s been bad for a while but this is insane.
Get everything migrated across to my new k3s cluster. I’ve been using larger boxes (unraid) and a couple of 1L mini PCs with proxmox to run my homelab until now… but I work with kubernetes and terraform daily and wanted something declarative.
I’ve now got k3s setup with a handful of services migrated (Immich, Tailscale, Nextcloud etc) but there’s still a ton to go (arr suite, various databases, Plex, Tautulli etc). It’s another job entirely.
I love it but sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself 😅

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Paranoia Level: Virtualization vs Isolated Machines for Self-Hosting?English
4·1 year agoI appreciate the sentiment here, though I would agree that it is certainly paranoid 😅. I think if you’re careful with that you self host, where you install it from, how you install it and then what you expose, you can keep things sensible and reasonably secure without the need for strong isolation.
I keep all of my services in my k3s cluster. It spans 4 PCs and sits in its own VLAN. There isn’t any particular security precautions I take here. I’m a developer and can do a reasonable job verifying each application I install, but of course accept the risk of running someone else’s software in my homelab.
I don’t expose anything except Plex publicly. Everything else goes over Tailscale. I practise 3-2-1 backups with local disks and media as well as offsite to Backblaze. I occasionally offsite physical media backups as well.
I’d be interested to see what others think about this… most hosting solutions leave it all open my default. I think there’s a lot of small and easy ways one can practice good lab hygiene without air-gapping.

This comes up over and over again. In my opinion it doesn’t even come down to your standing etc - I’m streaming data over HTTP, for the most part, and only I get to choose how that’s rendered. It just so happens that my renderer discards outbound requests to certain domains and drops some HTML/JS components that look bloated and or unnecessary.
Piracy? Theft? What a joke. My attention and complacency was never a component they should have relied on in the first place. This is a technical issue for me, not a moral one.
