(It wouldn't accept the Q_8 because it was sharded.)

Will report back lol

What app do you use on your phone to access your home LLM servers over tailscale?

The tailscale app on iOS can turn on a VPN on the phone to connect into your tailnet. Once this is enabled, you can then access the tailnet IPs from anything, e.g., in your browser to hit a web ui. You can then take it further with local DNS and a reverse proxy to access your home server services at a URL.

I'm running the Open WebUI Python web server app and accessing it on my phone via Mobile Safari.

I use the GPTMobile app on Android to access ollama over Tailscale.

Not to speak for him, but I’d suspect Simon would be using a terminal emulator. He often mentions preferring to use his own command line tool, named LLM, as it allows one to log everything to an SQLite database for later exploration.

    >>> Tell me a "what's the difference between" joke about techbros and another funny comparison of your choosing
    <think>
    Okay, so I need to come up with a "What's the difference between" joke comparing techbros and another group. Hmm. Let me think.

    First, what defines a techbro? They're usually associated with startups, tech gadgets, maybe working in Silicon Valley, into things like crypto, NFTs, and they often have a certain lingo or way of
    dressing—like hoodies, jeans, maybe beanies. They might be seen as overly optimistic about their ideas changing the world but sometimes disconnected from practical realities.

    Now, I need another group to compare them with. Maybe something else in tech but different enough to create humor. Let's think: developers? No, too similar. Maybe hipsters? Or perhaps venture capitalists?
    Wait, what about "developers who actually ship code"? That could work because it plays on the idea that while techbros talk a lot about their ideas, developers are more focused on delivering actual
    products.

    So the joke structure is usually two lines: one for each group, highlighting a key difference. It needs to be punchy and capture the essence of both groups in a humorous way.

    Let me draft it:

    "What's the difference between a techbro and a developer who actually ships code?"

    "Techbros are still explaining their MVP to you three years later, while developers just sent you a pull request titled 'it works now'."

    Wait, does that make sense? Let me break it down. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is something techbros often talk about but might take forever to actually build or ship. On the other hand, developers who
    are focused on shipping code would just send a pull request indicating they've fixed something and it's done now.

    I think that captures the difference between all talk and actual action. It's relatable for people in the tech industry who know the dynamics between idea people and implementers.

    Is there another angle? Maybe comparing them to something else, like entrepreneurs or investors, but I think the developer angle is solid because it directly contrasts talking about ideas versus executing
    them.

    So the final answer would be that joke. It highlights the techbro's tendency to over-explain without delivery, while developers focus on getting things done.
    </think>

    **What's the difference between a techbro and a developer who actually ships code?**

    *Techbros are still explaining their MVP to you three years later, while developers just sent you a pull request titled "it works now."*

    This joke humorously contrasts the tendency of techbros to focus on ideas and discussions with the action-oriented approach of developers who deliver tangible results.

On Android use Termux.

It's a terminal emulator
