Why not fork it like Microsoft did with Edge?

I'd like to collect something at the router level to learn how my kids are using the Internet.
Like I'd like to know the sites being visited on different devices.
Is there any such thing possible?
If you have a switch with port mirroring you can send the traffic to another device and monitor using something like Suricata.

It's in one of the collapsed comments. Quoted below:
https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomme...
So Ollama are basically forking a little bit of everything to try and achieve vendor lock-in. Some examples:
The Ollama transport protocol, it just a slightly forked version of the OCI protocol (they are ex-Docker guys). Just forked enough so one can't use dockerhub, quay.io, helm, etc. (so people will have to buy Ollama Enterprise servers or whatever).
They have forked llama.cpp (I would much rather we upstreamed to llama.cpp than forked, like upstreamining to Linus's kernel tree).
They don't use jinja like everyone else, they use this:
etc.
So we started a project called RamaLama to unfork all these bits
The first 2 points do point to Ollama neglecting the community and not contributing to upstream. For the lack of Jinja templates I would have thought that's just from it being written in Go and using the Go templating engine instead.

Great video! Every one in the series building the mechanism has been very interesting. It's fascinating how such simple tools produce the complexity in the mechanism. With modern lathes and metal working tools it's very easy to forget how accessible working with metal in high precision can be. Once you see the tooling being created in front of you it makes it clear how ancient civilizations could have had access to this precision.
It's mentioned in the abstract that similar findings were noted in humans as well.
"Humans experiencing long-COVID with cognitive symptoms (48 subjects) similarly demonstrate elevated CCL11 levels compared to those with long-COVID who lack cognitive symptoms (15 subjects)."

Thanks for pointing this out, fixed!
It's also marked as not self hostable despite the comment above mentioning it running on Raspberry Pis.

Good lighting makes a big difference as well, even low quality webcams on laptops look much better if your face is well lit.
ExpressLRS is looking very promising. Hopefully it will do the same thing with radio protocols as OpenTX has done with the radio transmitter market; lowering costs for software development and allowing cheaper hardware with more feature.

They only allowed regional carriers with existing spectrum to use others networks. It doesn't allow any other company to use the large carriers networks which limits the ability to start a MVNO carrier as you need existing spectrum licenses in order to piggyback on others networks.
