It's about time for another update to my #LinuxMint #microblog
There's not too much to tell. It has been unremarkably stable, in spite of my being...myself (I void warranties).
My latest attempt to break my Linux Mint install has been treating it like a server to deliver the #Ollama API to my work desktop to add spicy autocomplete to #vim.
The experience has been unremarkable, from the "server" side. I set an environment variable for Ollama to allow it to listen for traffic in my local network.
Linux Mint isn't meant to be a server environment, but it works fine as one, for me, anyway.
On the topic of spicy autocomplete (#ai), I have found my experiments to be best summarized as a stupid waste of my time...so far.
But I don't mind. I consider it part of my job to learn this technology stack, in order to advise others.
It isn't paying me back with any of the mythical productivity gains I hear so much about, but there is plenty of room to blame lack of tuning for my abysmal results, so far.
I plan to tune my model choices for my use cases and update here again in a few weeks, most likely with better results - if only because it would be hard to get worse results.
