Here is an overview of Personal Knowledge Management, it’s goals, methods, and software systems that we can use on this wonderful day in July 2025.

Dokuwiki is a selfhosted wikipedia which can be hosted easily on premises and not requiring any databases. I was running it dockerised, on my pet kubernetes cluster.

Let’s compare prices for top-level consumer GPUs, that are suitable for LLMs in particular and AI overall. Specifically have a look at RTX 5080 and RTC 5090 prices. They have slighty dropped.

Since standard Ollama doesn’t have a direct rerank API, you’ll need to implement reranking using Qwen3 Reranker in GO by generating embeddings for query-document pairs and scoring them.

This little Reranking Go code example is calling Ollama to generate embeddings for the query and for eache candidate document, then sorting descending by cosine similarity.

Just 3 month ago we didn’t see RTX 5090 in shops, and now here they are, but the prices are slightly higher then MRSP. Let’s compare the cheapest prices for RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 in Australia and see how it goes.

Keeping this here for the list of ingredients and inspiration - Rissoles.

Top Automated system for some awesome job.

I’ve got a theory to test - if utilising ALL cores on Intel CPU would raise the speed of LLMs? This is bugging me that new gemma3 27 bit model (gemma3:27b, 17GB on ollama) is not fitting into 16GB VRAM of my GPU, and partially running on CPU.

Sometimes there is a real need to save image from pdf without screenshoting or rendering the pdf on the screen. pdfimages helps with that.

DeepSeek’s first-generation of reasoning models with comparable performance to OpenAI-o1, including six dense models distilled from DeepSeek-R1 based on Llama and Qwen.

I usually set video recording settings on Auto. That’s good enough for me. But! If needed - here are the best video recording settings.

Paper-based planning, journalling and note-taking might help with getting the things done in particular and make everything more fullfilling.

If you could not find suitable blank refills for your planner, you can DIY them using MS Word. Or LaTeX. See here the example how to create Bill Tracker Filofax insert in A5 size with LaTeX system.

Recently on Philofaxy I’ve come across an idea that Filofax-type planner might be celebrating a come-back. I wasn’t so sure so wanted to check to validate this hypothesis. Have a look at this Filofax search statistics if you’re curious.
