Dragonish

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 loving the new release cadence!

my understanding is that terms of service would be helpful but not needed if someone trued to sue because you blocked access to the site. I would not expect ToS for a site like you are explaining, but if it did it would say “the web admin will ban you if you are naughty, you have been warned”

For privacy policy i think what you wrote to give us context is near perfect. Explain how your app stores data, be specific about encryption at rest and in motion. If your app is designed to hold name, email address, billing info you should highlight that in your policy. including a (monitored) contact email for questions would be nice, but not needed imo unless you are storing PII

It looks like there is one here:

I am interested in reading more about what Tezka means. Please do share.

I think i can relate to your goals and am personally focused on similar work in an effort to make my own life a little more bearable. my efforts are more focused on executive function and how to integrate this into my life seamlessly vs llm/conversational ai. i have been playing around with conversational ai, but i currently lack the psychological understanding which is needed to do this right. i look forward to hearing more from you.

my immediate (ok, i have been working on this all day) thoughts

• as other have mentioned, i like quirky. I would want them to show some flaws. idk what exactly, but i think it would be off-putting to be overly clinical or “perfect”
• i would be more comfortable interacting with Tezka in a more private environment such as a matrix room vs a more public comm like this.
• i like the “relational repair” aspect. my own shortcomings here is something that has been made much clearer to me recently. I imagine them asking me if i have reached out to my relations, and give me some personalized advice on how best to approach the person. If the interaction with the person did not go well, then i imagine them helping me through it in a positive way, preparing me to try again next time.

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
