    I don’t think there’s a straightforward way like a HACS integration yet, but you can access Ollama from the web with open-webui and save the page to your homepage:

    Just be warned, you’ll need a lot of resources depending on which model you choose and its parameter count (4B, 7B etc) – Gemma3 4B uses around 3GB storage, 0.5GB RAM and 4GB of VRAM to respond. It’s a compromise as I can’t get replacement RAM, and tends to be wildly inaccurate with large responses. The one I’d rather use, Dolphin-Mixtral 22B, takes 80GB storage and 17GB min RAM, the latter of which I can’t afford to take from my other services.

    I agree - some games are alluring for their unique style, some for recognisability and comfort. Plus, normally I don’t like too much of a departure from realistic physics in favour of fun factor, like being a damage sponge or tilting and boosting a horse in a different direction, but as a whole this definitely looks great to play. Even has breakable structures that crush enemies, it reminds me of ‘Pursuit Breakers’ in Need for Speed Most Wanted

    Do you prefer XMPP or Matrix

    Yes* - I haven’t used Discord in a long time as its bloat simply doesn’t interest me, but for communicating with folk:

    Matrix, at least for me, is great, but the most capable mobile client Element has many broken or missing features.
    Classic, but not X, has:

    • working calls via STUN/TURN,
    • an emoji menu,
    • correctly showing chat profile images (X duplicates the most recent one for all chats),
    • and the ability to create unencrypted group chats (purely for public memes).

    X, but not Classic, has:

    • attachment captions,
    • HD images,
    • markdown support,
    • a more modern UI,
    • and (when it works) fully encrypted 1-1 and conference calls via Matrix Livekit.

    I currently dual-wield the two because neither is enough yet, and most other clients lack call functionality entirely.

    XMPP, at least for me, is nearly perfect. It just works and I find the fact that desktop clients still look like AOL Messenger quite charming. However it has:

    • very manual encryption key management, meaning even I find trusting a new device daunting let alone any adopters,
    • no backward decryption, meaning message history needs to be exported and transferred to a new device,
    • plaintext serverside storage for several pieces of data. It’s my server so ownership isn’t a worry, but it’s a massive security risk in the albeit unlikely event of a hack or hijack.

    I chose higher encryption and easier adoption between Matrix and XMPP but wish there was a more fulfilling option.
