    That sounds like an excellent "rule of thumb". I didn't know if you were referring to 1,000, 10,000 or 50,00. Now I have a very good clue. I am very interested in working with on low powered devices such as , i.e. on the so that might give me a good platform to experiment.

    I am not going to build that AI Visualisaion thing but I am very interesed in general performance issues.

  3. I have tested a prompt from my quetstion type on a Raspberry Pi5 with 16GB of ram and the Google Gemma4e2b model. it took around 30 seconds to the generate a response (see attached video).

    I will now work on running it with to test performance with the two running on the same machine.

  5. I suspect that a large amount of Inference will migrate to local hardware, AKA "edge". This Kickstarter project is offering offline inference.

    Current price is around $USD 1,400 but that is likely to fall rapidly.

    I can imagine adding this as a companion to , which is on the once the price drops enough.

  7. @clahult Apropos Handy, du stellst ein #MoodleBox (ein bes. vorbereiteter Raspberry Pi) in die Raummitte und die "Schuelys" verbinden ihre Handys mit dem Wireless von MoodleBox. Das ist ein kompletter Webserver mit Moodle vorinstalliert und autonom, braucht kein Internet. Z.B. ein offline Web wie Wikipedia, RACHEL, oder Moodle selber kennt Quizzes, Mathematik (STACK), Programmierumgebungen (VPL), Sprachsynthese, etc.Oder man nimmt das Ding in die Freie, die Schuelys machen Fotos von Pflanzen und laden hoch. Du gibst doch Internet mit Hotspot von deinem Handy und erkennen die Pflanzen nach Internet-Recherche.

  8. Discovering the visionary #moodlebox project made me think that the #moodle project has really missed a trick by not properly supporting #sqlite as a database backend.

    It would make tinkering with and hacking on the codebase so much easier, potentially expanding #opensource contributor numbers but also generating possible new use cases.

  10. Fent provatures amb una Raspberri i MoodleBox per córrer un Moodle en aules sense accés a Internet (que sí... encara n'hi ha pel món...)

    Si vas d'aula en aula (i totes sense Internet) pot ser un recurs molt interessant...

    Si algú ja s'ho coneix, totes les experiències, idees i suggeriment seran benvingudes :P

  11. #Moodlebox für #Exkursionen nutzen.

    Ob auf Berggipfeln, in Sümpfen, am Südpol oder in der hintersten Ecke eines #Schulgebäudes - mit der #Moodlebox spannst du dein eigenes #WLAN und stellst eine #Lernplattform zur Verfügung. Ein gängiger #RaspberryPi genügt dafür.

    Wäre es nicht prima, wenn man sein eigenes Internet in der Tasche hätte und an jedem Ort dieser Welt zur Verfügung stellen könnte? Zumindest im #Bildungsbereich ist dies möglich.

    This was an issue that would particularly affect a custom distribution of that is aimed at sites without an internet connection..
    It was reported 4 days ago, it is now fixed.

  21. Introducing MoonPiLlama

    Adam Jenkins has made a Youtube video showing how to install and Ollama on a Raspberry Pi4. MoodleBox is a custom distribution of specifically for the Raspberry Pi. However the Moodle part includes good information on generally how to get Ollama and Moodle to work together. It also includes gratuitous use of a yellow rubber duck
    (Yes Pi 4 not Pi 5).

  23. I have been trying out the Raspberry Pi 4 hosting from Mythic Beasts
    mythic-beasts.com/order/rpi/
    My configuration is
    4 4x2GHz, 8GB RAM, 4T/month with 8GB Disk space and is £16.92 per month (cheaper per quarter or year).

    I installed with and Mariadb and ran the Benchmark tool
    moodle.org/plugins/report_benc

    It returned 474 points and with the disk as a bottleneck. Performance seemed acceptable for the trivial tasks I have done so far.

    I will continue to explore any performance implications of the additional ram both for MoodleBox and associated related software.

    I swapped the 8GB board for the new 16GB board. I re-assembled and restarted with the same microSD card and it worked as expected. That is based on about 5 minutes of testing.

  36. Who would pay $120 for a #RaspberryPi ?

    Jeff Geerling asked this question on this Youtube video (thanks for the link @wisecat).
    I suspect the extra RAM will be useful for #MoodleBox especially if running the #STACK question type along with the #Goemaxima back end. The #Moodle quiz engine on its own is quite resource hungry. Apparently the PI5 with 16GB I ordered today is already “in the post”. I consider Mr Geerling to be rather excellent.

  37. Just ordered a #RaspberryPI 16GB. The 16GB version was announced today, only 8GB was available previously. I will install #MoodleBox on it. MoodleBox is a customised #Moodle distribution specifically for the Raspberry PI.

  38. For anyone intersted in running the #STACK #Moodle #question type on the #RaspberryPi
    based #MoodleBox, I have added a wiki page to my repo which briefly explains what I did

  39. This animation shows a #Moodle quiz using the #STACK #Maths question type on a #MoodleBox . The #GoeMaxima back end is running under docker on the same machine which is a #RaspberryPi 5 with 8GB of ram.

  40. #MoodleBox is a custom distribution of the #Moodle #VLE designed to work on the #RaspberryPi. I have it on a 8GB RaspberryPi 5 and the performance with me tinkering is very impressive.

    Although it is “stock moodle” it has some system tools specific to the platform. One that recently delighted me was the check of undervoltage. I was running it from a standard USB source and it needs something more powerful for real world usage. It displayed this message.
