Fingers crossed I can keep the Garfield open source solutions stage broadcasting live and working well! I am also working on a surprise for attendees assisted by Micro Center, (but won't spoil too much here, you'll just have to show up to see ;) )

@nixCraft Meanwhile I run `ls /var/log` to look for a log for a specific daemon, only to realize it's a f***ing systemd service and I can't use basic tail/grep and fail to spell jounrlact several times trying to run the proper command, only to get frustrated and forget WTF I was looking for in the first damned place.

Yeah, the only LLM I am comfortable running is the one where I can store the model definitions locally and do all processing locally. I somehow doubt Poettering's manager's manager would be interested in supporting privacy-centric software.
