Quick reference for Docker Model Runner commands
Docker Model Runner (DMR) is Docker’s official solution for running AI models locally, introduced in April 2025. This cheatsheet provides a quick reference for all essential commands, configurations, and best practices.
Compare Docker Model Runner and Ollama for local LLM
Running large language models (LLMs) locally has become increasingly popular for privacy, cost control, and offline capabilities. The landscape shifted significantly in April 2025 when Docker introduced Docker Model Runner (DMR), its official solution for AI model deployment.
Simple VM management for Linux with GNOME Boxes
In today’s computing landscape, virtualization has become essential for development, testing, and running multiple operating systems. For Linux users seeking a simple, intuitive way to manage virtual machines, GNOME Boxes stands out as a lightweight and user-friendly option that prioritizes ease of use without sacrificing functionality.
Multipass installation, setup, and essential commands

Explore alternative search engines beyond Google and Bing
While Google dominates the search engine market with over 90% global market share, there’s a growing ecosystem of alternative search engines offering different approaches to web search.
Specialized chips are making AI inference faster, cheaper
The future of AI isn’t just about smarter models - it’s about smarter silicon. Specialized hardware for LLM inference is driving a revolution similar to Bitcoin mining’s shift to ASICs.
Own your content and control your identity
The web was originally designed as a decentralized network where anyone could publish and connect. Over time, corporate platforms consolidated control, creating walled gardens where users are products and content is locked in. The Indie Web movement aims to restore the original promise of the web: personal ownership, creative freedom, and genuine connection.
Availability, real-world retail pricing across six countries, and comparison against Mac Studio.
NVIDIA DGX Spark is real, on sale Oct 15, 2025, and targeted at CUDA developers needing local LLM work with an integrated NVIDIA AI stack. US MSRP $3,999; UK/DE/JP retail is higher due to VAT and channel. AUD/KRW public sticker prices are not yet widely posted.
Gemini-a lightweight and secure alternative to the web
The Gemini protocol represents a return to the fundamentals of internet communication-a lightweight, secure, and privacy-respecting alternative to the increasingly complex modern web.
Integrate Ollama with Go: SDK guide, examples, and production best practices.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of available Go SDKs for Ollama and compares their feature sets.
Comparing Speed, parameters and performance of these two models
Here is a comparison between Qwen3:30b and GPT-OSS:20b focusing on instruction following and performance parameters, specs and speed:
Approximate hosting cost estimations vs subscription.
Here’s a quick info on Write.as / WriteFreely - how it fits into the fediverse, where to get managed hosting, what the usage trend looks like, and how to self-host (plus rough costings).
+ Specific Examples Using Thinking LLMs
In this post, we’ll explore two ways to connect your Python application to Ollama: 1. Via HTTP REST API; 2. Via the official Ollama Python library.
What is Proxmox?
Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is an open-source, type-1 hypervisor and datacenter orchestration platform built on Debian.
AI-suitable Consumer GPU Prices - RTX 5080 and RTX 5090
Let’s compare prices for top-level consumer GPUs, that are suitable for LLMs in particular and AI in general. Specifically I’m looking at RTX-5080 and RTX-5090 prices. They have slightly dropped.
Not very nice.
Ollama’s GPT-OSS models have recurring issues handling structured output, especially when used with frameworks like LangChain, OpenAI SDK, vllm, and others.
