Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments. It means a lot to me. :)

The only reason why I did this project was because someone showed up in my feed with a post about a DS Lite hack. We’re all inspiring each other haha :D

However for me this is not on topic for selfhosting

I’m always struggling to find the right community for posting. Which place would be the best?

Exactly, yes. And I use the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as a WiFi AP (RPi is connected to my home network and to my DS Lite) because the Nintendo DS Lite only supports WEP encryption. So that the DS Lite is able able to send requests to my inference on the MacBook Air

This is the model:

{
  "data" : [
    {
      "context_window" : 4096,
      "created" : 1719792000,
      "id" : "apple-foundationmodel",
      "notes" : "Apple on-device model via FoundationModels framework. Unsupported parameters are rejected with 400 when present (except n=1 and logprobs=false). Supported languages: it, zh, fr, en, nb, fr, da, es, es, es, vi, zh, de, pt, tr, en, zh, sv, nl, ja, en, ko, pt",
      "object" : "model",
      "owned_by" : "apple",
      "supported_parameters" : [
        "temperature",
        "max_tokens",
        "seed",
        "stream",
        "tools",
        "tool_choice",
        "response_format",
        "x_context_strategy",
        "x_context_max_turns",
        "x_context_output_reserve"
      ],
      "unsupported_parameters" : [
        "logprobs",
        "n",
        "stop",
        "presence_penalty",
        "frequency_penalty"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "object" : "list"
}

and I’m running it on a MacBook Air M4 16 GB. “Apfel” (the CLI tool) is kinda a wrapper around it and exposes an OpenAI compatible API.

That’s really cool!

I use the Kaico DSpico Flashcart and on the RPi Zero 2W I use a bash script (because I don’t want to host it permanently) with hostapd, iw, dnsmasq, socat, and iproute2. For HTTP and JSON I use my own implementation, no library. The rest is documented in the post.

Did some experiments with my DS Lite and ended up with this. Using DevkitPro libs (libnds, dswifi, calico). Apfel on macOS and a wifi (WEP) bridge running on a RPi Zero 2W. 🖤

I changed the title

Thank you

Thank you, you know these days small things make me happy

all of it. I’m not using anything outside of my own local area network.

Uhm, I figured out that people don’t like it. However, for me, it was a nice little project and it brightened my day.

Hi, I do have Reddit accounts and they don’t want me to delete my accounts! I tried to delete but the submit button for deletion is grayed out. Help.

I haven’t seen iron man. What can it do? Wearables are interesting.

Nice job :)

For the record: I have savings I’m deliberately not touching. Hence posting in a community literally called “No Stupid Questions.”

I’m often asking myself “how can I make this happen?” instead of just giving up and waiting for cashflow.

Honestly, I can’t give too much advice but a few things might be very smart:

Buy coupons/gift cards of services beforehand that you’d continue to use in “poverty” and are critical. If you can, reduce fix costs, cancel Netflix and phone contract, use a prepaid SIM. Use cash back systems, some debit cards offer that. For backups rely on free cloud services. No subscriptions that you don’t need. Check prices of everything you’d consider to buy and max out free trial services. You can pay rent upfront for 3 months. There are food sharing apps. I think especially in the US you have lots of coupons that you can use in stores and there are apps to find these. Stay with Amazon prime if you order at least 3 items per months, Amazon can be pretty cheap and reliable. If you can, organize a good water source. Buy pain killers, emergency kit and have stuff ready in case you cannot see a doctor or afford one. If you wear glasses and are short-sighted, buy a few pairs of 1-month contact lenses (if they’re good quality and you treat them correctly you can wear them longer although not recommended), new glasses can be pricey. For job interviews, have clothes ready that you only use for that (don’t use your good perfume if you have one, keep for interviews). If you don’t go out often and you don’t expect visitors, don’t shower too often (saves you money). Get an electrical hair trimmer. If you’re good with repairing stuff (electronics), get some soldering stuff and a cheap all-in-one box of electronic parts. Sometimes if you register a new account you get free stuff, might be worth checking. Give your Uber account some balance in case of emergency. Sell stuff that you really don’t need anymore and use that cash to prepare. If you run Honeygain 24/7 on your computer, after 1.5 months you can cash out and order one or two meals for 20$. If you smoke, roll your own cigarettes or start vaping (the ones you can refill, they’re taxed lower).

Oh yeah, and if you can, find a partner. Sometimes intimacy can get some dopamine back.

Thank you 😍

That sounds peaceful ^

Nice! Thank you

Thank you
