My current local dev setup: running qwen3.5:35b on Ollama. OpenCode config: choose "remote Ollama" provider (important!! don't use OpenAI compatible provider). Then select qwen3.5:35b from your list of available remote Ollama models. (Optional: I run Ollama on a 32G Mac mini that is stored away running headless out of sight in a closet, and I use my new MacBook Air to work on via TailScale from any location.)
I never dreamed I would have such a good setup on my own inexpensive hardware.

This is pretty shocking, but logical: the news media and special interests in the USA spend a lot of energy splitting the country into democrats vs. republicans who hate each other. Segmenting the population is by design, to more easily keep people from realizing that the real enemies are elites and special interests. Diabolically clever!
The only logical thing for US citizens to do is to register as Independents - make it harder for special interests to control the population:
I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.
This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

OK, I am an old man so take my ramblings as you will.
The suppression of the Epstein files is one of the worse things I have seen in my lifetime - not as bad as some lies to justify wars for profit, but still really bad. I hope that other countries prosecuting Epstein network child rapists will force the release of more information in the US. I have friends who for political reasons don't want this info released. I accept that everyone gets their opinion but it is my right to be disappointed.
Fast, portable, and private: I added a short chapter "RAG Using zvec Vector Datastore and Local Model" to my Ollama In Action book. You can read the new chapter online using the link https://leanpub.com/read/ollama/rag-using-zvec-vector-datastore-and-local-model
The new vector store library zvec was recently released by Alibaba and it is full of awesomeness.

Many of us complain about what the current Trump administration in the USA is doing and this is something that you can do about it.
I admit that I have not cancelled prepaid one year subscriptions, but I think that every little bit helps.
