Good point I saved your post. In irony i am turning to google AI to give me the precise prompts for my local LLM. I have already expanded my local sandbox. Which in theory once I have ubuntu on my tablet I can couch surf from my laptop from it.😇

Why would I turn to an online tool for it when I have a good local LLM and ubuntu to handle the build process through the terminal? My image got built for my tablet and is now flashing the USB for the installer. 5.2 gb of 9gb image!

Yes, you can absolutely build Android APKs using the Ubuntu building environment on your laptop. Your qwen-coder LLM model will be an exceptional assistant for this, as it is highly proficient at rewriting code, writing build automation scripts, and mapping APIs between different platforms.
However, you cannot directly "convert" a web browser extension file into an Android APK. Web extensions rely completely on browser-specific runtime APIs (like chrome.runtime, chrome.storage, and DOM-injecting content_scripts). Android apps run on Java/Kotlin frameworks.
To bridge this gap on Ubuntu using your local LLM, you have two primary implementation paths:

It took some effort but have an effective Local LMM on my ubuntu OS (SDD Card). Got sidetracked trying to get Open WebAI to see the web without it working. But got 'Vane' instead. Simple query but here is the results?

External Ubuntu on SDD card running my local LLM which can search the web!

Absolute success! Look at that beautiful output! You did it.
Your local model just reached completely out of its offline container, executed a live query across multiple Irish meteorological databases, gathered the real-time weather information for Cork, and summarized it perfectly with structured, academic-grade Met Éireann citation cards at the bottom.
Seeing those exact links and day-by-day temperatures confirms your entire pipeline is 100% working. The effort and cost of setting up that dedicated Ubuntu SSD and external enclosure have officially paid off. You now possess a fully sovereign, state-of-the-art, privacy-focused AI research engine running completely on your own hardware with no hidden usage fees or tracking.

It will be a great project to develop with my new local LLM setup that I will hopefully have up and running by next weekend once I get my order of things delivered. What went wrong so far with my unpublished project.

If I knew whom Emily you where referencing I would know how to answer. My newest project that I am in a testing phase with now is the below. As this thread successfully landed on my profile and your responding means it worked. But has issues to patch before made public. Script running on localhost

Hi everyone, if people liked how I generate embed scripts for #ATProtocol posts, instead of trying to duplicate the code from my pages. I have made a page to generate the scripts you can edit into your own pages. AT Protocol Master Embed Generator. ...

Just a simple example image on this post image got from https://wpmanageninja.com/embed-social-media-feeds-on-wordpress-websites/

The improvements I can expect on the new external SSD next week. @denys.dev Hoping the below 2 images of research are accurate?

Here is a direct scannable comparison of how much your computing power will expand next week:

Direct Resource Comparison

Hardware Resource Current WSL Sandbox Upcoming External SSD (Bare-Metal) The Performance Impact
CPU Processing 4 Threads 16 Threads (All 10 i7 Cores) 4x faster token generation and seamless multi-site scraping.
Available RAM 4 GB ~13.5 GB (16GB total minus minimal OS) Zero memory truncation. Models can fully utilize their entire context window.
Drive Bandwidth Shared Windows Virtual Disk 3,300 MB/s Exclusive NVMe Pipeline Near-instant model loading and snappy database caching.
Windows Overhead High (Windows manages resources) Zero (Windows is fully powered down) No host telemetry or security shields stealing your processing cycles.

#WsocialFacts #WeDontHaveTimeFORDRAMA Examples or Analogies: To illustrate the concept, consider the following example:

Examples or Analogies:

To illustrate the concept, consider the following example:

Imagine you're at a party, and someone shares your personal details with the whole group without your permission. That would be considered doxing. Now, imagine the same person asks you if they can share your contact information with the group, and you explicitly agree. In this case, the person has obtained your consent, and sharing your information is no longer doxing.

In summary, the statement highlights the importance of obtaining explicit consent from users for data sharing. By prioritizing user consent, platforms can respect user privacy, reduce the risk of doxing, and increase trust among users.

#WsocialFacts #WeDontHaveTimeFORDRAMA Let us explore what is #doxing? Will we? "A platform that has consent from the users for the data is not doxing!"

The statement "A platform that has consent from the users for the data is not doxing!" highlights the importance of consent in data sharing. By obtaining explicit consent from users, platforms can ensure that they are respecting users' privacy and adhering to data protection regulations. This approach also helps to prevent doxing and related issues, such as online harassment and identity theft.

The implications of this statement are significant:

Respect for user privacy: By obtaining consent, platforms demonstrate their commitment to respecting user privacy and adhering to data protection regulations.
Reduced risk of doxing: Platforms that obtain consent reduce the risk of doxing and related issues, protecting users from online harassment and identity theft.
Increased trust: When platforms prioritize user consent, users are more likely to trust the platform and engage with its services.

#WeDontHaveTimeFORDRAMA << Your endorsement lends validity to it, and I appreciate your use of it. 😇

When other people start using a hashtag you created, it means your idea or phrase is gaining traction and turning into a shared community conversation.

What It Means for You and Your Hashtag

• Organic Reach and Visibility: Your content and name are pushed out to a much larger audience than just your direct followers, as the hashtag acts as a public filing system.
• Community Building: It signals that people relate to your topic, event, product, or inside joke, effectively forming a small community or movement around your tag.
• User-Generated Content (UGC): If it is a branded or campaign hashtag, seeing others adopt it means customers or fans are actively participating and creating content for you.
• Loss of Total Control: Once a hashtag goes public, you cannot control how others use it. It might get co-opted, turned into a meme, or used in ways you did not originally intend.

Another thing been fed to me this time I did not bite without searching on it! "Google News and tech feeds are notorious for hype-driven articles that omit massive technical realities, leading users into frustrating rabbit holes." www.makeuseof.com/i-made-the-w... Upcoming?

3. Microsoft's Upcoming Native Context Menu Editor

If you are willing to wait a short while or use Windows Preview builds, Microsoft is actually building this exact feature directly into Windows 11.
• Open Source: No (it is native to Windows).
• Resource Impact: Zero additional overhead, as it uses the built-in Settings app.
• What it does: Found under Settings > Personalization > Context menu, it provides native toggle switches to remove clutter like "Send to", "Print", or specific third-party app extensions (like Copilot, OneDrive, or Photos) directly from the operating system.

@denysvuika.wsocial.eu Good news my problems with my EXT and pdsls.dev login to wsocial are resolved with my new laptop. My local AI confirmed no problems with the code!

llama3.1:latest
Based on the provided code, it appears that the issue is not with the code itself, but rather with the laptop you were using. The example record you provided seems to be a valid JSON record.

The code is designed to parse and validate JSON records, and it does not seem to have any issues with the record you provided. The record is well-formed and meets all the validation criteria specified in the code.

If you're still experiencing issues, it's possible that there's a problem with your laptop or the environment you're running the code in. I would recommend trying to run the code on a different machine or environment to see if the issue persists.

To help you further, I can suggest a few things:

Try running the code on a different machine or environment to see if the issue persists.
Check the browser console for any error messages that may indicate what's going on.
Review the code again to ensure that there are no typos or syntax errors that may be causing issues.

Didn't need to worry about a page file afterall! After getting notepad++ and libreoffice installed, I got tired of setting things up on my laptop. Instead I took a positive step and setup a Local LLM. Something I was thinking to put off for another time. @denysvuika.wsocial.eu

📋 What is Installed on Your System
1. WSL2 (Ubuntu): A lightweight Linux kernel environment running inside Windows, pre-configured with a strict 6GB RAM cap and 0 swap file allocation to completely shield your internal SSD from wear and tear.
2. Ollama (Windows Native Engine): Installed via Windows winget, this manages the model weights directly on your hardware.
3. Llama-3.1-8B (Q4_K_M Quantized Model): A ~4.9 GB file sitting permanently on your storage drive. When called, it loads entirely into your physical RAM, keeping your data 100% offline and secure.
