Psychoanalysis - sh.itjust.works

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.

I don't use crossbows in video games

I don't use crossbows in video games - sh.itjust.works

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?

Help updating to Fedora 40

Help updating to Fedora 40 - sh.itjust.works

Hello, I’ve installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it. I got a system update through Discover when 39 came out, I updated it restarted, and I didn’t think much of it. Now that Fedora 40 came out, I did the same thing, but this time, after the update, I checked the system information in the settings, and it says that I am still running Fedora 38! I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 (ugh, but I need it for work) and I noticed that in grub the option to boot Fedora also says 38. There are also some recovery boot options. I’m confused and don’t know what to do to update to 40? Would really like to avoid doing a fresh install. I’d say I’m a novice Linux user, but this is the first time in dealing with something like this, so sorry if I missed some crucial information, will provide anything needed to help fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a low-end setup

Looking for a low-end setup - sh.itjust.works

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 5700U, 16 GB ram, running Fedora 38 linux. I’m looking to run a local uncensored LLM, I’d like to know what would be the best model and software to run it. I’m currently running KoboldAI and Erebus 2.7b. It’s okay in terms of speed, but I’m wondering if there’s anything better out there. I guess, I would prefer something that is not web-ui based to lower the overhead, if possible. I’m not very well versed in all the lingo yet, so please keep it simple. Thanks!

How private am I? - sh.itjust.works

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?
