  • Hosting my own git server on my NAS made my life easier and better due to the new freedoms it offers. Backups are centralized, and I have all the space i need to keep any interesting code safe. I am using forgjeo now and highly recommend it. You can also use other front ends (or none and just ssh/filesystem) but forgjeo gives me artifacts (ie docker registry), code search, LFS, and more. With my own git server, my local filesystem only has what I am working on recently (or as my workstation space allows). My home folder has a folder for each version control system (git, pijul, svn). Inside of these i have 2 sub folders: <domain>/<repo name>

    Some examples of different domains are: open, work, personal, dragonish. I do not separate what forge or remote service in the filesystem, this is a persona boundary.

    I use git remote names and branches in each repo to handle what software forge and any upstream/maintainers i need to work with. As an example my work repos only get pushed to my work server (ie, only 1 git remote named origin set to my work’s server), but my open ones will go to forgjeo and github (i setup 2 git remotes, origin and github. origin in this domain goes to my forgjeo). If i have a need i go into some more git branching strategy which I do find has helped me over my life, but I think I am overthinking this post now! keep it all simple enough for what your needs are.




  • I am using Mistral 7b Instruct for text summary and some light “assistant” type chatting for the last several months. I have been pleased at how accurate it is for my needs, especially given it’s size.

    I recall alot of trial and error to find models that were compatible with the version of llama-cpp-python that oobabooga uses (at any given time). GGUF should have made the model format (and therefore model selection) more simple, but i imagine there are still nuances that make it more difficult than it should be to find a working model for a noob.

    Best of luck, let us know how it goes
