1. Download server files and run them. Modern Minecraft requires java runtime enviroment 17, 1.16 and belore jre8. If you have synaptic package manager search for jre there.

2. I usually make a batch file to execute server. You can run jre as is by executing as an application but a batch file helps set memory size usage, nogui and stuff.

3. It will stop on first server startup to produce a EULA text file. Open it up, set to true, save, restart server. See if you can connect through LAN by using another computer and entering your servers local IP address probably 10.0.0.xx:25565

4. Open up the port for default mc server in your router so others can connect on public network. 25565, TCP+UDP, in out both ways. Make exceptions in your firewall too.

I wrote a guide on here about the differences between alternative search engines. I recommend for you either YaCy or marginalia.nu. searxng supports calling YaCy (I actually contributed to that feature on the github).

The problem with decentralized engines like marginalia and YaCy is that they aren’t good at the things a average user wants from a typical search engine. Ideally a search engine is meant to quickly provide you links to webpages which are strongly related in content to you are looking for. Shopping, weather, map directions, local business hours. On some level you need to prioritize showing the user what they want ideally within the first few results.

Decentralized engines by their nature don’t do this easily. Instead using YaCy or marginalia feels like a scavenger hunt where you get handed a page of random websites loosely connected by your keyword search term and are told to start looking. This is good when your in the mood for blogspam and personal webpage blog dicovery, but not great for finding local buisniess info quickly. YaCy has a user curated priority system but not enough user mass adoption to be worth a damn in practice.

So sadly if you want anything resembling google or bing results for your practical convinence driven daily internet searching needs, you need to scrape them with searxng or use one of their few real search engine company competitors funding their own indexers and web crawlers. So really your options are scraping google, bing, mojeek, qwant, kagi and DuckDuckGo(ish they still use bing for indexing a lot).

Out of those Ive actually warmed up to Kagi over the year. I was put off at the idea of subscription based internet search but its a really good service they provide and they line out their reasoning for pricing well. They seem to be using that monthly sub money to actually improve the service and user experiences while remaining transparent with constant changelogs and blog updates. Kagis recent implimentation of privacy pass protocol, available TOR access, anonymous payment options, and taking fediverse + small net indexing seriously are all green flags to me. Never thought I would pay for a search engine but the way the world is going I’d rather eat the equivalent of a 5-10$ patreon sub to grow a service I believe is respecting me as a customer over fucking FAANG treating me like cattle and absolutely violating user experience so hard just for another nickles worth value in data scraping.

Only a few people have VR, and its easy to get into that top 10 when there are maybe 15 good games for VR on the steam store total.

If your lucky she might be into it leading to some really nerdy gamer BDSM

Look being real they would get away with it no matter which decrepit old man was in office or what their politics are. America is a corporatocracy wearing the skin of democracy. When the IRS audited Microsoft for tax evasion, the IRS got sued and defunded through lobbying to the point of being forced to back off. Fucking Microsoft took down the IRS. The world has changed and our old institutions of power are waning.

Dont give up you got this! I had luck with using vulkan in kobold.cpp as a substitute for rocm with my amd rx 580 card.

Your primary gaming desktop gpu will be best bet for running models. First check your card for exact information more vram the better. Nvidia is preferred but AMD cards work.

First you can play with llamafiles to just get started no fuss no muss download them and follow the quickstart to run as app.

Once you get it running learn the ropes a little and want some more like better performance or latest models then you can spend some time installing and running kobold.cpp with cublas for nvidia or vulcan for amd to offload layers onto the GPU.

If you have linux you can boot into CLI environment to save some vram.

Connect with program using your phone pi or other PC through local IP and open port.

In theory you can use all your devices in distributed interfacing like exo.

First you need to get a program that reads and runs the models. If you are an absolute newbie who doesn’t understand anything technical your best bet is llamafiles. They are extremely simple to run just download and follow the quickstart guide to start it like a application They recommend llava model you can choose from several prepackaged ones. I like mistral models.

Then once you get into it and start wanting to run things more optimized and offloaded on a GPU you can spend a day trying to setup kobold.cpp.

They both start a local server you can point your phone or other computer on WiFi network to it with local ip address and port forward for access on phone data.

Local LLM gang represent! ✌️

Local LLMs aren’t perfect but are getting more usable. There’s abliterated models and uncensored fine tunes to choose from if you don’t like your LLM rejecting your questions.

To see if it can do it and how accurate its general knowledge is compared to the real data. A locally hosted LLM doesnt leak private data to the internet.

Most webpages and reddit post in search results are themselves full of LLM generated slop now. At this stage of the internet if your gonna consume slop one way or the other it might as well be on your own terms by self hosting an open weights open license LLM that can directly retrieve information from fact databases like wolframalpha, Wikipedia, world factbook, ect through RAG. Its never going to be perfect but its getting better every year.

You might like qutebrowser then!

Computerized butt plugs are getting really fancy these days. Those suprim models are supposed to have a custom mini 5090 card for text to speech LLM inferencing. Even has CUDA support but I hear that gets painful.

tears in my eyes This ones for you, @[email protected] you can rest easy now. Here here! takes shot

F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.

I run a local LLM on my gaming computer thats like a decade old now with an old 1070ti 8GB VRAM card. It does a good job running mistral small 22B at 3t/s which I think is pretty good. But any tech enthusiast into LLMs look at those numbers and probably wonder how I can stand such a slow token speed. I look at their multi card data center racks with 5x 4090s and wonder how the hell they can afford it.

The word itself is actually a pretty good slang to describe the common act that human beings do known as coping, which can also paired with the funny meme of someone actually huffing a substance called copium like it was a potent drug. Let’s be real, some people have the bliners on so thick with denial and do mental gymnastics so hard to protect themselves from unpleasant ideas that may damage their ego or mindset that they may as well be high on something fierce. I’m usually the one criticizing new unnecessary words I think are stupid but I like this one better than most others.

Do you have cars in your country? If so consider moving into a vehicle and converting it out to both gain freedom and remove rent from the equation. Its not easy or feasable for everyone but perhaps an option to consider. If your family has big back yard maybe put down a four season tent anf move into it so you don’t have to deal with them.

Its easy for a passerby to appreciate the work, skill, and creativity that goes into a painting or song. Its hard for the average person to infer those things looking at an electrical box or a plumbing network. An electrician knows when they’re looking at good up to code wiring and a plumber can tell if the plumbing can be put together right. Those are things the average person has no concept of and doesn’t want to think about all unless they have to. One provides instant artistic appeal while having no practical value, the other provides practical value but its systems are too complicated for the average person to appreciate in totality.
