-My choices in software lean heavily towards stability, sometimes at the expense of my other technological values of elegance and minimalism. Fun as it is, I have other stuff to do than play sysadmin in my limited free time.+My choices in software lean heavily towards stability, sometimes at the expense of my other technological values of elegance and minimalism. Fun as it is, I have other stuff to do than play sysadmin in my limited free time. For the same reason everything is dockerized as a hard requirement, so I prefer software with good support for that already.

 +  * [[https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui|text-generation-webui]] - locally hosted LLMs. Super convenient, just plug in the model name on huggingface and it will download it and serve a chatbot-style web UI 
 +  * [[https://www.monicahq.com/|Monica]] - personal CRM. Lets me track things about people I know - birthdays, pets, kids, s/o's, significant life events, things like that. Can send email reminders of things as well. I'm a very forgetful guy and this helps me keep up my relationships with others. Probably will replace Nextcloud cardDAV for me at some point
