would you laugh at me if I ran gemma-4-26b on a 4 core Xeon, with 32GB RAM, no GPU?

I have spent a few days tweaking this setup to attain these results:

Although modest, It is great for local parsing and analysis of my self-hosted homelab data where sending logs to external APIs is not desirable.

Typical workflows:

• Log analysis: Piping journalctl output to the API for error triage and root cause hypothesis generation.
• Configuration synthesis: Generating AdGuard Home rewrite rules, nginx location blocks, or fstab entries based on defined parameters.
• Troubleshooting constraints: Querying for failure modes specific to the local topology (e.g., NFS mount failures over a 1 Gbps unmanaged switch, Tailscale DERUP routing behind CGNAT).
• Alert context: Correlating Beszel/Uptime Kuma notifications with service-specific knowledge (e.g., "mediabox CPU spike while SabNZBd is extracting").
