I am curious to see if anyone has run into this before. I have been working with running larger models across multiple machines on my network via RPC. This works fine when I launch one model from the terminal with rpc <IP>:<PORT>,<IP>:<PORT>,<IP>:<PORT>.

I am now experimenting with using the model presets file approach so I can switch models from within pi and have all of my settings in a single file. It works well when I run a model without RPC or with just one machine. But when I try to add more like above, the models fails to load. Something with how llama.cpp parses out the ini file does not like comma separated values in a single entry.

I am looking to take advantage of the different machines I have around the house rather than investing in more hardware at the moment (OUCH). I have ollama running in docker alongside OpenWeb UI on a Ubuntu machine with a P40. I can run QWEN 3.6 27B fully on GPU and 35B with a bit of spill over into CPU/RAM, but it performs well enough for my use cases.

I am looking to try to take advantage of a few other machines in the house with GPUs by having QWEN 3.6 orchestrate smaller models running on the other machines. My research has led me to potentially using LiteLLM on each machine in front of llama.cpp or ollama and having OpenHands running on the orchestration machine. I've seen references

We are adding an island in our kitchen and decided to go with butcher block for the top. We aren't planning on staining it but need to choose a food safe and durable finish. This top will not be used as a cutting board. Ideally, we apply this once and can wipe down with soap/water and multi surface cleaner as needed going forward. I just don't know which of the options below will achieve that the best. Thank you for any information/recommendations you can offer.

- Mineral Oil (which I know will not create the durable finish we need)

- Watco Butcher Block Oil and Finish

- Butcher Block Conditioner

- Waterlox?? (Seems to be a brand with multiple products)

- Triple Thick Polyuretha

I have never played 2011 and would like to experience it, but I never owned a PlayStation beyond PS2. Every time I have tried to emulate on RPCS3 it has been unplayable. Has anyone found a way to get emulation working?

We had an ambulance ride from Liverpool to Upstate via NAVAC back in December. It was for an anaphylactic reaction so they sent a paramedic. We just got the bil and it is $3200. Everyone I know who has taken an ambulance in this area has been $2000 or less. What the hell is happening here? Has anyone else experienced this?

I have spoken to insurance and NAVAC is out of network so while my insurance company seems $2400 as not billable, NAVAC can just disagree and charge us anyway. Insurance also is not going to pay anything (a separate problem we are solving with a job change). Speaking to NAVAC and their billing company, we need to submit a written letter explaining our financial hardship

Hello. We have been having a smell issue with our dog for months now where he just reeks mostly of poop and something else that we can't identify. A couple trips to our vet hasn't resolved this so we are hoping for some ideas here.

Some relevant history. He is a 3 year old black lab, pit bull, great pyranese mix. He is on levothyroxine for a chronically low thyroid hormone levels. He had a skin infection and some ear infections prior to the levothyroxine (how we figured it out). Variations of the bad smell started around then. He hasn't been sick since we got his thyroid in check. At his most recent visit, the vet noticed a couple of patches of dry skin between his back legs, but he otherw

I have about $350 to spend right now on GPUs. I know that more VRAM = larger models, but not sure if generational gap between the two choices is worth it. My worry is the support period left on pascal. I can't get GPUs very often and I don't want to spend $170 for it to only work for a couple of years (while staying up to date in features). I am also unsure of any performance differences beyond the obvious inclusion of Tensor cores on the 4060ti. Any additional information is greatly appreciated.

I have a toddler and as you all know, this means not a lot of free time. Every once in a while the wife and I get a chance to watch a movie. Many of which we have seen pre-child. Our most recent one was Titanic. Some of the scenes during the sinking of the ship were absolutely heart breaking for me now. This is not my only experience like this when rewatching movies post-child.

This begs the title question, what movies hit different after becoming a parent?

TL;DR I'm looking for a whole home audio solution that has an app/web interface and can play from both my local library and Spotify. Ideally without any additional hardware.

Currently I have a while home audio setup that consist of Raspberry Pis connected to a number of random speakers throughout my house. Each of these Pi's is running the Snapcast client and I have a VM as the server. My main audio source for this is Spotify and that works great. Each speaker set is its own group so I control the volume for each area individually.

The problem I have is with playing my local media. I setup MPD with Mopidy and the Iris web interface, but it's quite clunky and I seem to always have to rel
