Thank you so much for the suggestion! I tried Q8 of the model you mentioned, and I am very impressed with the results! The output itself was exactly what I wanted, the speed was a little on the slower side. Loading my previous conversation with a context of over 15k tokens took about 10 minutes to get the first response, but the later messages were much faster. The web ui loses connection almost every time though, and I just manually copy the response from the terminal window in to the web ui to save it for future context. I am currently downloading the Q6 model, and might experiment with going even lower for faster speeds and more stability, if the quality of the output doesn't degrade too much.

 

Hi, I don't have much experience with running local AIs, but have tried to use ChatGPT for psychoanalysis purposes and the smarter, but limited for free users model is amazing. I don't like giving such personal information to OpenAI though, so I'd like to set something similar up locally, if possible. I am running Fedora Linux, and have had the best results with KoboldCpp, as it was by far the easiest to set up. I have a Ryzen 7600, 32 GB of ram, and a 7800 xt (16 GB vram). The two things I mostly want from this setup is the smartest model possible, as I've tried some and the responses just don't feel as insightful or though provoking as ChatGPT's, and I also really like the way it handles memory. I don't need "real time" conversation speed, if it means I can get the smarter responses that I am looking for. What models/setups would you recommend? Generally, I've been going for newer + takes up more space = better, but I'm kind of disappointed with the results, although the largest models I've tried have only been around 16 GB, is my setup capable of running bigger models? I've been hesitant to try, as I don't have fast internet and downloading a model usually means keeping my pc running overnight.

PS, I am planning to use this mostly as a way to grow/reflect, not dealing with trauma or loneliness. If you are struggling and are considering AI for help, never forget that it can not replace connections with real human beings.

Finally, POV used correctly in a meme!

I was going to say Factorio as well! :D Hollow Knight has a native port and is a fantastic game, but my favorite games are ones like OpenMW or DevilutionX where the entire engine is remade from the ground up and open-source

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

I've donated to Signal and the web archive

There's this stupid theory, that men who "lean in" to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he's an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

 

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for a person like me that wouldn't sacrifice too much convenience?
