And tlp didn't help either? Is your model one of those dual battery ones?I vaguely remember some special consideration there to completely drain the laptop of power. I think you can disable the internal battery in bios somewhere before removing the external battery and the ac charge and then hold the power button for half a minute or so.
Depending on the use and the size of your graphics card you might be better of trying Gemma 4 12B too.On my Nvidia 5060 Ti 16GB I can use either Gemma 4 A4B IQ3_M (larger model but highly compressed) or Gemma 4 12B Q8_0 (smaller model but much less compression) and after a night of testing with the Gemma 4 12B Q8_0 I'd say it's a better helper when it comes to coding but a worse gm for my dnd inspired fantasy world roleplaying adventure.
I imagine your "setup a selfhosted environment" is closer to the first.
Easy setup would be to use koboldcpp + SillyTavern + Gemma 4 26B A4B GGUF of the largest quant your graphics card can fit together with your context.Remember to setup SillyTavern to allow network connections and create a user and password, default installation is localhost only.Set the temperature to 0.3 if using IQ3_M, higher quants allow higher temperature, and make sure all the formatting templates inside Advanced Formatting are set to Gemma 4.
Then use either Gemma 4 itself or the free google.com AI to create some "W++ Denze with Horizontal Lines summaries for Gemma 4" of the relevant documentation of the latest version of the home server apps your friends are gonna install.You should ensure the resulting lorebook entries are no more than 1k tokens each to leave some context for your friends chats, add it to a character card in SillyTavern and set some keywords to allow them to load dynamically and not stay in context memory all the time.
Regarding the character card you can ask Gemma 4 to write that for you too, I find "Write a character card in W++ Denze with Horizontal Lines style for Gemma 4 with this name, personality, attitude and skillset" works well for that.Then ask it to write a "First message prompt that starts with X, continues with Y and ends with Z for that character card" and you get a first draft to rewrite and paste into the "First Message" of the character card. The first message works as a template that Gemma 4 will imitate when you chat with it. Then simply try the chatbot out before letting others use it.
I find my own Gemma 4 26B A4B IQ3_M works well for practicing hiragana and katakana, discussing programming or troubleshoot existing code or writing a small function but it can't be expected to write a correct DatabaseService.cs from scratch and stuff like that.
Oh and forget about finding good cards and lorebooks for SillyTavern use online, most users use it for NSFW Roleplaying chats. It is a very easy UI to use to create harnesses for your local LLM though.
I woulda) Use the reset button to fully reset the ThinkPad using the Emergency Reset Button - this has solved more than one weird hardware error for me in the past.
b) Let the battery discharge completely, or at least to below 10% and then let it charge overnight to ensure it gets completely topped up.
If neither of those helps I would probably unseat the battery and plug it back in again just to check.
It's honestly the same as with Windows - search engines and manuals.When you get stuck explain what you want to do, what you've tried and what guides/manuals you've used and you'll get good responses from most of the linux communities.
I don't see any chance of making humans stop using drugs.I mean it's not like we're alone in chasing that high either, you can find dolphins chewing on pufferfish, reindeers enjoying fly agaric toadstools, elks getting high on fermented apples, wallabies eating opium poppies and so on.
I think teaching responsible use and having proper help available for those that need it is the only real way to handle alcohol and drugs in society.
The big three producers refusal to expand will hurt them a lot, chinese producers like cxmt got a great way in and have already started producing dram that works for ddr5 6000mhz.
You can think of Secure Boot as a security guard at an entrance. The security guard checks the ID badge of the software that wants in to verify it's signed by a trusted company.All ID badges are now being updated, the old seal of trust from 2011 will no longer be accepted and they must use the new seal from 2023.The Security Guard will enforce this 2026-06-17.
I feel like wasps seem more interested in both sweaty humans and our food compared to bees, so they get in your face in another way than bees do.Our southern red brick wall houses a lot of red mason bees every year and even though they live just next to the porch they leave us be. I've had a tired bee take a break on my sun-warm shoulder once or twice, but that's pretty much it.
Proton are building a walled garden though. Trying to export and migrate from it is hell. I much rather have common imap/smtp and setting up pgp keys myself. That way I can easily import my local backup to a new provider if the need rises.
That and also that I haven't found any good f-droid apk to open the librecalc on my tablet.All I want to use my tablet for is to change key values in brewing recipes and have them recalculate for the new volume, I prepare my brewing recipes on my computer in librecalc but now I'm stuck with multiple static pdf prints for different common volumes instead of using the real recipe book on the tablet.
I keep at it though, my private computer is Microsoft free and will stay that way. Some friction is lessening from getting used to libreoffice calc but some functions just can't compare, the amazing tables of excel being the one I miss often.
They do use some more data than that, see my quote.
2.5. Indices of global change
We compared global human population size in the three main phases of facilitation, transition, and the negative r∼ N phase (see Results) to the global temperature anomaly obtained from the HadCRUT.5.0.2.0 ensemble prediction anomaly [56] relative to the 1960–1991 baseline (data available from 1850 to the present).We hypothesize that the strongest positive relationship between human population size and climate change occurred during the negative phase because of consumption externalities such as increasing natural resource exploitation and loss of biodiversity. This can result from societies in the period of declining r and resources subsequently driving environmental degradation. In contrast, societies in the facilitation phase might have adequate resources to fuel increasing population growth rates.We also used two additional indices of global change in the analyses to corroborate the results using global temperature anomaly: global ecological footprint measured as the number of Earths required to meet consumption rates [29], and total annual CO2-e emissions (ourworldindata.org).
