No, Ollama is running on an old PC with a GeForce 1060 and 16gig of ram…

Yes, it’s a “webserver” running in the background exposing an API.

However, if I “top” my system, without chatting, it sits at 0% usage; it’s only when asking that the system peeks at around 55-70% CPU.

You have to understand there is 2 things here: the server and the model. The server is always running, but requires next to nothing in terms of resources.

The model is what computing your questions, this is the heavy part. It’s started on use, then after a delay, it’s closing.

TL;DR To answer your real question, you could use Ollama on the same system that you are using.

During that time, you can easily install Ollama on an old computer.

With a client like Oatmeal, you can save your session/ reload/delete as you wish; so your model remembers what you want.

I am running llama3.1:8b, it’s good enough for the day-to-day operations.

My old computer is apparently “not good enough” for windows 11, but it’s surely good enough for my personal AI running on Linux though!

No one here is talking about the subscription that will come with it…

If it streams from someone’s else computer,you will have to pay for that “service”…

Why pay Windows once when you can pay it every month!

With over 130 dependencies, I am sure they were all and will be audited in the future.

Hard pass for me.

Linux is in a weird spot, there is a valley you must not be in with it.

If you are a non-technical person who needs only a browser and solitaire, it’s perfect.

If you are a highly technical person, it’s great.

If you’re just in between, you are fucked.

That might be ugly, but something like that…

Yeah, when you’re having fun pissing off people, people are pissed off.

Who would have guessed?

But still right on though

It’s not enough to pollute the Internet, it’s time to pollute the world with radioactive waste.

That’s brilliant!

Ok

For example, when you login on Github, go in your settings, authentication & security on the left.

Click “add passkey”, enter your Windows Hello PIN, click save.

It will ask you to enter a name, so I go with ComputerName-GitHub

Click ok.

Done with this device.

How long does it take? Well, how fast can you do these steps?

I always thought of passkeys as a convenient way to authenticate.

I am password-less on multiple services.

I have an authentication app on my phone that authenticate me when I am away of my computers. I have passkeys on my personal computer and another set of passkeys on my work laptop.

If I have to authenticate from your computer I simply use my auth app, click on “it’s a public computer” and I am good to go.

The dude discovered a butter knife and he tries to replace his spoon with it just to realize it doesn’t work well for eating a soup.
