OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don’t know how “good” it is… mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

Now, if only enterprise glass GPU’s weren’t so power hungry and expensive…

Maybe real estate?

Yep. My paycheck has sadly not scaled in a similar manner :(

Will I even be able to afford one? Still rocking a Radeon VII here…

I can’t even find a decent PCIE USB/Thunderbolt card (one that support VFIO would be nice and actually has a Linux kernel driver, so ASM and Renesas are both out…)

I believe it’s a little more sinister than that. There is less education around these issues because many services have adopted a highly polished, “Walled-Garden” approach to their presentation. This keeps people who’ve grown up with the concepts in their walled garden loyal to that specific service, and makes it difficult for people to dig under the hood and work out how things really function without the sugar coating. They get irritated quickly because they’re used to everything “Just working” and don’t have experience on more open systems.

Therefore, they would like there to be no need for tech education unless you plan on a professional career as a tech.

As long as ownserhip don’t get carried away with enshittification chasing next quarter’s finance call and drive users away by annoying them into putting the extra effort in to learning about alternatives, they could keep it that way forever.

There’s also the term Xennials , which is 1977-1983.

It appears to have ceased development. AFAIK it still works if hooked into a “valid” user account, but since I don’t have one and am increasingly less likely to consider that path, it’s a moot point.

Ever since Nitter died I haven’t paid any attention to anything on musks’ little fiefdom at all.

I wish the political economics guys would move… I really miss Tim Sahay/70sbachchan & Mark Blyth.
