Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I remember hearing once that the eyes are kind of an external piece of the brain.

I have this too on occasion! Although, I think I had this problem on another podcast player before I switched.

Fiery Habanero Doritos

Works on the AMD Pro series GPUs and my 6800xt on Pop OS

No need to worry, those security patches would be millennia ahead of any contemporaneous trojans.

Alliteration, Rhythm, Rhyme, and I like properly made tea.

Cheapest would probably be the Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi route.

I gave up trying to make an HTPC (using Kodi, ChimeraOS, etc). It wasn't worth the hassle and ended up settling for an Apple TV.

Sure, you can use a VPN if you want to spin up the instance and connect to it without having a domain. You can always open the instance of Nextcloud to the internet later, when you buy a domain.

Get a cheap .XYZ domain if you just want to experiment with spinning up a reverse proxy.

I have an RX6800XT and I use KoboldCPP to run models I download off of Huggingface.

I'm not sure how many tokens per second it generates, probably about 10?

If you want to try it yourself here's a link to the Github page: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

I don't know what your - and your kid's - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I'd probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he'll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

Yeah. The icing is made with powdered sugar and tomato juice.

Honestly, it's wild to me that I probably ate something that most people will go their whole lives without knowing it's existence.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?
