This week was awesome! I dove into worker threads and, to put my new knowledge to the test, I built a whole project using them!

It's a work in progress, but I'm making great strides! I'm already learning a ton about building CLI applications, which was exactly what I wanted to tackle next. I'm really excited about the progress I'm making.

Simple - I finally managed to get around to posting my Google Forms UX Questionnaire for a project I am developing and very passionate about. The nerves are setting in though as actually getting the responses is the difficult part. But, I pray and I work and great projects will survive.

hmm maybe a long list but i were bored and boom youtube time then found a linux guy talking about memos a opensource github project about taking memos in a fast way using webgui
ok what ever i said i want it so i learned that i can use docker and sperise i downloaded docker and it's pkgs so i hopped in with gpt 4o mini trying to learn a promt after promt i deployed my first container then the second third till i learned how to fix these errors how to remove run stop see the logs then i searched and search and now i got 4 1 is memos
2 is metube which is gui for ytdlp it's easy for people who want staight experince with no argument
3 photoprism which is know for manging photos also have ai in it
4 adguardhome but i had it directly on my laptop prevouisly so i enjoyed that in 2 days then i stopped .
today morning i were studying and a thing brings a thing saw someone talking about ai deepseek so i said let me try it so downloaded ollama and started going it was facinating experince now i have multi llms and it's my first time to intract with any i'm still learning now
my tip is stay bored
i know i'n too excited and typed my whole week log
until now everything i typed was stright without focusing in any grammar errors or trying to make it consise then i introduced the llm downbelow to fix it and make it better


after i asked the deepseek coder v2 to fix and edit it for you guys this was his response
"Hey everyone! What a fantastic weekend I had exploring various
open-source tools and technologies! As requested when asked how my week
was, here's what I accomplished:

  1. Exploring Memos: I dove into a fascinating project called
    Memos, which is a self-hosted memo
    board built using Go and Vue.js. It was quite an engaging experience
    setting it up on Docker, learning about its features, and configuring it
    to suit my needs.

  2. Managing Containers with Docker: I expanded my skill set by
    deploying three more applications:
    Metube (a GUI for YouTubeDL),
    Photoprism (an AI-powered photo management
    tool), and AdGuardHome. Managing
    these containers was a bit challenging but ultimately rewarding, as it
    taught me about containerization, networking within Docker, and basic
    system administration.

  3. Interacting with LLMs: I ventured into the world of AI by trying
    out DeepSeek Coder (ollama), an AI language model developed by DeepSeek.
    This experience was fascinating; I'm still learning about how to
    effectively prompt these models and exploring their capabilities in
    generating text, answering questions, and more.

  4. Staying Curious: As always, the spirit of curiosity drove my
    engagement with new tools and technologies. Staying bored can indeed lead
    to unexpected discoveries!

Overall, this weekend was incredibly enriching, both personally as I
expanded my tech stack and professionally as I continued learning about
Docker, containerization, and AI. Thanks for asking!"
