I have a server that I wanted to do this with, and cpu-only interference was several minutes for pretty simple tasks (all text, couple of sentences). I shelled out the cash for a 5060 Ti 16GB earlier this summer, and even with a pcie 3 x16 slot running at x4, I’m down to 5-30 second responses and rapid output speeds, even with large conversations. But the initial prompt/loading is still a couple of minutes by itself, so I leave the model in vram always.

Everyone?

EVERYONE!

This is likely way overkill for your needs, but I have Home Assistant control my phone’s alarms, based on my various calendars that I sync using CalDav through DAVx5. HA will adjust the wake-up buffer based on what calendar the event is - so if yesterday I had an in-person appointment at 10am, and the buffer was 2.5h, but tomorrow’s event is remote, I don’t need to wake up as early, and so it adjusts the buffer because of it. This is set in the automation.

Then I created the necessary helper (input_number.alarm_wake_up_time_buffer) for how early to set the alarm at runtime. Integrate CalDav of course, syncing your calendars to HA, and adjust the automation script as needed. Make sure HA can run in the background/is not limited by battery optimization. And this all requires the HA companion app, obviously.

Boom, with all that in-place, I just set my events into my calendar, they sync, HA triggers a couple hours before I need to wake up, it sets the alarm, and I get woken up at the planned time.

I use the Google clock, so no promises for any other system, but I’ve been using this for 6+ months and it’s been great. It does add a point of failure (server/HA freezes; internet outage when the automation triggers) but it hasn’t happened yet, just hypotheticals.

Do make sure that you can eventually get back in after testing, though. Sure, it’s safer when even you can’t access it, but… :p

Ah, you got the buggy firmware

punches you in the face

…you asked for a punchline, don’t be mad at me

I don’t know what ‘headline’ or ‘Coachella’ means so that’s a yes. Unless headline as in newspaper and Coachella as in a line of sex toys… which wouldn’t change the answer to the question.

I went from Dockge to Dockhand, though both are good. Dockge was my UI of choice for the last couple of years, so slim and simple. I tried Dockhand on a whim and the extra features won me over, without having a bazillion buttons and confusing UI.

I come from the time where you just run the game and it, you know, ran. While I think even Steam itself is stupid as hell, at least someone is stopping the idiocy a little bit. Though ubisoft is dead to me, so it’s a participation award, not a real ‘woo, go awful company’ cheer.
