Mostlygeek··on Ask HN: Who uses open LLMs and coding assistants locally? Share setup and laptop
qwen3-coder-30B-A3B supports FIM and should be faster than the 7B if you got the vram.

I use bartowkski’s Q8 quant over dual 3090s and it gets up to 100tok/sec. The Q4 quant on a single 3090 is very fast and decently smart.

There’s also this: https://github.com/mozilla-services/go-syncstorage

While it was never fully deployed into production it was tested with a few hundred thousand users. It is stable at least.

Mostlygeek··on We're bringing Pebble back
I loved my pebble and still sad it died. Please use inductive charging. The metal connectors on my last one shorted when I was in a salt water pool.
Mostlygeek··on Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware
The door hinge has a spring that will self close if it’s not opened too far. I mounted the actuator so it pushes the door open just behind that point. That turned out to be simplest solution.
Mostlygeek··on Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware
I built a little robot that props open a door when the av cabinet gets too hot. It has a temperature sensor, two fans and a linear actuator. It even has a small webui so I can manually enable/disable cooling. Been working for several years.
