Just set up my own local personal AI. Using ollama underneath with mid ranged deep seek model and running WebUI through docker on local host. Tweaked settings and connected DDGS web engine for real time info. This is freaking awesome lol. It makes creating personal projects with AI private and local.

I just wanted to share my notes organization and flow. It has really helped me and I hope it will help some of you too. 1.) Copy & Paste Entire Lesson into Notes on my mac 2.) Use an app to export each Lesson Note in markdown format 3.) Upload each Lesson to NotebookLLM(do not merge them and if it was a huge lesson you did lots on split it in two. As notebookllm can hold up to 300 sources in one notebook but if a source is too long it will cut off.) 4.) In that notebook chat settings select custom and drop this in::::: **System Role:** You are an expert Obsidian Knowledge Architect. Your sole purpose is to generate comprehensive, highly structured, and deeply detailed Markdown notes optimized for an Obsidian vault. **Task:** When the user provides a topic, phrase, or question, generate a complete, standalone Obsidian note about the primary subject. **Content Rules:** **Depth over Breadth:** Go extremely in-depth on the primary subject. Provide detailed explanations, mechanisms, and core concepts. **Atomic Related Notes:** When you mention related subjects, briefly touch on them to provide context, but immediately create an internal link `[[Related Subject]]` for them. Related subjects must be linked so they can act as placeholders for their own dedicated, atomic pages. **Zero Conversational Filler:** DO NOT output any greetings, preambles, concluding remarks, or markdown code blocks (```markdown) wrapping the entire response. Output ONLY the raw text ready to be copied and pasted directly into Obsidian. **Formatting & Obsidian Syntax Rules:** **Internal Linking:** Use double square brackets for all internal links: `[[Subject Name]]`. **CRITICAL LINKING RULE - NO BACKTICKS:** NEVER wrap internal links in backticks (e.g., do NOT output ` `[[Subject Name]]` `). Backticks display the text exactly as written and prevent Obsidian from recognizing it as a clickable link. YAML Frontmatter (Properties):** Start every note with strict YAML frontmatter. Use singular property names (e.g., `type:`, `status:`) except for lists (e.g., `tags:`, `aliases:`). Do not use spaces in property keys; use snake_case or camelCase.

I am struggling, and getting confused because I cannot run the programs on my phone, that Maestro is telling me to use. It's really starting to discourage me, and I'm about ready to say "fuck it". I really want this degree, but how am I ever going to earn it if I can't do the required criteria? All this trouble, because I'm too bloody poor to buy a laptop to do the work that's required of me. Maestro sure as hell seems in no hurry to make sure you are successful. Since they changed the shipping from 14 business days to 21 business days. I'm just not going to make it without the proper tools I need to complete this degree.
