Such a shame that Tonali's Italy lost their qualifier on pens. He played the full 210 minutes across both matches, days after missing the derby, didn't even make the bench.

At least we know he's match fit now I guess.

I've ordered an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. Looking forward to getting started with local AI and seeing how far 16GB of VRAM can get me.

I've got a SFF PC so I had to be careful with which version I got, I didn't realise the different vendors did the card in different dimensions! The Gigabyte version appears to be small enough to fit in my case.

Paperless NGX and Home Assistant will be the first things I'll be looking at.

@connel yes! this exact pain of nextcloud led me to breaking it apart into immich (vs memories), vaultwarden (vs nc passwords), Joplin (vs notes), radicale (vs nc contacts). And it couldn't have been easier to migrate and never look back. Copyparty seems promising for file sharing. I gave up on trying to replace any of the other nextcloud functionality but I do miss the file sharing (when it worked). I'll check out opencloud though!

I've installed #paperlessngx but I'd really like to experiment with some local AI with it.

My server has 16gb of ram, but only 5-6 spare.

I have an Intel Arc with 4GB of memory knocking about somewhere.

I have no idea if that's enough to run #Ollama for something like organising documents and doing ORC.

Has anyone had any mileage with this kind of hardware? I have an Intel i5-13500T CPU if that changes anything.

Today I Installed #OpenCloud and completed my move away from Nextcloud.

I'm really happy with it.

Nextcloud was by far the most frustrating application I've self hosted. If there was a way for Nextcloud to be annoying, it would do it.

Been using #Immich for a while and it's amazing. That's replaced Memories.

Recently started using #Joplin. That's replaced Notes.

Set up some shared calendars with symlinks in OpenCloud's #Radicale add-on to replace Calendar and Contacts.

#SelfHosted #HomeLab

Before the game I saw who Sunderland were missing and I thought anything other than a win would be very difficult for Howe to come back from.

To throw away a lead and lose is abysmal.

The club's a mess. Last summer has put us back years. I'm expecting an exodus of players in the summer and we're going to have a giant rebuild on our hands. My concern is the new DoF is a Howe yes man.

Very happy about the new @gnome release, and I'm proud about what my fellow contributors have accomplished together in this cycle. Tons and tons of bugfixes and new features! The release notes at https://release.gnome.org/50/ cover a small portion of the most user-visible changes, but there's a lot more to discover.

Meanwhile, in the #GNOME hashtag…

(after 40 minutes of reading through https://fedi.absturztau.be/notice/B4O8ucxRQoQyBxrrpg, I cannot imagine a more insane thread in the #fediverse)

#FLOSS #OpenSource #gratefulness

Yessss great result. Thought we had a much needed good spell in the second half, where we showed threat on the break. Chelsea were pretty poor though.

#NUFC #CHENEW

There's no way we keep a clean playing like this for the length of time required.

Hope I'm wrong!
