How to get llama 2 up and running , in a VM, with no GPU, and limited memory on Ubuntu

Image
OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U...

Delete Outlook 2010 Shared Calendar items

So my scenario is i have Windows 7 PC's running Office 2010 and XP machines running Office 2007 (soon to be upgraded). However the users on Office 2010 cannot delete appointments in the shared calendars. you get this stupid error that means nothing: Some items cannot be deleted. They were either moved or already deleted, or access was denied This error may be the result of trying to delete more than 4,000 messages at one time.  Outlook can delete no more than 4,000 messages when it is working with a server message store. To avoid this error, delete fewer than 4,000 messages in a single operation. It is also possible that you do not have the appropriate permissions to delete messages. If you need to delete content from a folder owned by someone else, contact the owner of the folder to obtain the necessary permissions, or have the owner delete the content for you. It’s a simple fix for me. Hold SHIFT and then right click , click delete , release SHIFT and click yes or just click onc...

Free Calls using Google voice on android phone!

I recently bought an android phone to use with my T-mobile Pay-as-you-go SIM. Im cheep and don't need a $100 a month phone bill so this work for me. With WiFi almost every where i go, i don't need a data plan, i just use the Wifi. I found a cool way to save even more minutes using the Google Voice for Mobile app over Wifi. If you have a android phone, and are usually around a WiFi connection (home, work , etc), simply sign up for a google voice account , pick a number in your area code , give that number to whomever you want to be able to call \ recive calls from. next download the client by going to the GV-mobile site and requesting the link, or just find it in the market place download and install. when you go through the setup, set it to always ask to use google voice. Now when you make a call select google voice, and viola, you are now making free calls over VOIP.
