I've been dabbling with local ML projects, and trying to get them to run with ROCm on my Radeon 7900 XTX card. All the solutions to run for example Llama.cpp or Automatic1111 are a bit hacky, so I made a repo where I document how to run them in containers.

Needs more documentation and more projects, but all contributions are welcome!

On: "Hetzner decided to cancel our account and terminate all servers"

[Risse]

Not my experience as well. They have previously given me 24 hours to respond, or they will remove the server.

[ratg13 → Risse]

My experience was getting the "you have 24 hours" to respond e-mail, and contacting them within 20 minutes, only to be passed around a phone system to be finally told, sorry everything has been deleted.

They offered to "recover" the account, which was basically just an account shell with my info. All of the assets and backups had been permanently erased.

Yikes. That's just about as scary.

[SirensOfTitan → Risse]

That’s hardly any better.

On: QOwnNotes

I've been using it for around 6 months, maybe once a week. It's pretty awesome. Syncs all my notes to Nextcloud.

I use the Nextcloud Notes app on my Android phone and it works perfectly together with this on the desktop.

I wish it had support for simple file uploads, sometimes I want to attach spreadsheets or PDFs to my notes.

[Rygian → Risse]

How do you reconcile the lack of tag support in Nextcloud Notes?

[Risse → Rygian]

I haven't had a reason really to use tags, I just use folders.

[Rygian → Risse]

I always wonder how people manage. If you have a note for project X, concerning person Y, dealing with topic Z, and needs more work, in which folder do you put it?

On: With some tech savvy, you can disconnect your robot vacuum from the cloud

[Risse]

I installed Valetudo on my Dreame robot vacuum. The process was pretty smooth, not OTA unfortunately, had to use some USB adapter and hook it up to the debug port on the vacuum.
