Sure, I run OpenWebUI in a docker container from my TrueNAS SCALE home server (it's one of their standard packages, so basically a 1-click install). From there I've configured API use with OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic and DeepSeek (part of my job involves evaluating the performance of these big models for various in-house tasks), along with pipelines for some of our specific workflows and MCP via mcpo.

I previously had my ollama installation in another docker container but didn't like having a big GPU in my NAS box, so I moved it to its own box. I am mostly interested in testing small/tiny models there. I again have Ollama running in a Docker container (just the official Docker image), but this time on a Debian bare-metal server, and I configured another OpenWebUI pipeline to point to that (OpenWebUI lets you select which LLM(s) you want to use on a conversation-by-conversation basis, so there's no problem having a bunch of them hooked up at the same time).

I think the food production chart Is the least believable of the bunch for just that reason. We already know how technology can improve yields and distribution, and there are many, many places where it’s not yet used. For that matter we globally already produce way more calories than we consume, they just need to be distributed better.

 

In Limits to Growth, a '70s era tome lauded by both environmentalists and doomsday conspiracy theorists, MIT scientists made a number of predictions about population growth, food production, etc, using the data available at the time -- and were immediately lambasted by the media and politicians as being fear-mongering, since they hinted that collapse would likely come in the 2nd half of the 21st century. Recently, investment guy Joachim Klement revisited the predictions, adding data from this century. The results were... not great, with some indicating that we're living in the peak of human development like literally right this minute.

😂 Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).

“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language

(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5.. 4.. 3..)

OpenWebUI is a superb front-end and supports just about any backend that you think of (including Ollama for locally hosted LLMs) and has some really nice features like pipelines that can extend out its functionality however you might need. Definitely has the “copy code” feature built-in and outputs markdown for regular documentation purposes.

My team uses Expensify, and I have to say, I don’t hate it. The website is full featured, the mobile app is actually pretty good, and you can even just email receipts to an email address and it will parse them out properly the vast majority of the time. Management-wise it has all of the approval chains, grouping, etc that you might expect. The company I work for is only about 50 people and my team is only 10 so I couldn’t say how well it scales, but I imagine unless you have some particularly unique requirements it’d do the job.

Word. Also it’s not even remotely true, as history, anthropology and archaeology have all shown us.

Sadness can be eaten

I think we’ve all tried this at one point or another

From that perspective she shouldn’t be having sex either since it’s widely understood now that there are often multiple fertilized egg cells floating around, and once the “winner” implants into the uterine lining the others will be flushed out anyway.

Betteridge’s Law of Headlines. It’s been happening for as long as the internet has been around, tho enshitification has made it worse.

Conceptually I don’t have a problem with population decline (naturally, not artificially). However practically it’s a big problem that societies are very clearly not taking seriously right now. If we had a stable global or regional support system to ensure that people are cared for even as there are fewer people to do the caring it’d be fine. But as it seems everyone in power is adamantly against that, it’s a big, looming problem.

South Floridian here. I love Brightline but goddamn if depressed people don’t constantly throw themselves in front of it. They must be constantly rotating drivers in and out of PTSD therapy.

 

I was hoping one would have a heart that says "Mom" inside, but I guess a pattern of dots is a start...
