@julian I wonder how much of that 9GB of #GoToSocial is the sqlite.db alone? I’m already bothered with the 1.7GB size of my sqlite database.

To all the other #GotoSocial instance owners, how large now is your sqlite.db? Mine’s 1.7GB so far, and that is just after running VACUUM on it. Any help will be appreciated.

So I tried #OpenAI OSS-GPT-20B on Ollama app on Windows 11 Pro running on my Beelink SER5 5560U Mini PC with 6C 12T CPU and 32GB of RAM, and it crawls like next to unusable. It seems you need a beefier rig than that – so much more than the average household computer.

Vanilla Cookbook

Vanilla Cookbook is a self hosted recipe manager built with Svelte(kit). It is designed with complexity under the hood, keeping the user experience as uncluttered, simply vanilla as possible.

Most of the web’s recipes are stored as text, without much thought to a consistent language or structure. Many self-hosted apps go down the structuring route, automating, or asking the user to organise their data. This can lead to cluttered and complex interfaces, limiting user experiences to those technically minded. The philosophy behind Vanilla was to do as much as I could with that text as it was, limiting the work the user has to do to a minimum. You should be able to get cooking with a few clicks.

Could this be a lightweight Mealie alternative?
