Observations on the world and its inhabitants
Problem After upgrading OpenWebUI (observed from v0.11.x onwards), every chat triggers a search across all knowledge collections — even on base models with no knowledge collections attached.

CaptainsWatch is now lightning fast, after I took action. The few who visit will find that pages and other content load almost instantly. The site had developed what I can only describe as a chronic illness. Pages loaded like they were wading through treacle. The Gutenberg editor — WordPress’s block-based writing tool — was throwing ...
Do you need to know exactly how the electronics in your car works – or how the transmission works – before you drive your car? Hover your mouse over these these 3 dots just in case. That’s the point. It is about how I did that 3 dots thing. I don’t know – I did ...

When I first looked at Espanso, I almost closed the window. It looked like a wall of ...
Yes – it’s true. I don’t need to know how to write code for Macros, when I have paid geniuses who can do the work. BTW some people don’t even know what a ‘macro’ is and they’ll be thinking of microscopes. If you’re one of those types, you should save your time for Instagram or ...
This post is what happened after attempts with OneDriver failed miserably. The landscape for cloud storage integration on Linux desktops often involves a trade-off between simplicity and stability. Many lightweight drivers attempt to provide a “native” feel but stumble when confronted with the aggressive I/O demands of modern desktop environments like KDE Plasma. This analysis ...
