The work on the Large Language Model (LLM) bot so far has seen the running of LLM locally using Ollama, a switch in models (from tinyllama to gemma) whilst introducing LangChain and then the switch to LangChain templates. Note: If you skipped the previous blog entry posts, I’m following along with Real Pythons “Build an LLM […]
LLM – Langchain Templates (Python)
I finished my previous blog post with the aim of looking at Langchain’s template options. I feel like I was on a similar path during my last post, with defining the initial prompt to be passed each time. However, the Langchain templates allow for easier and more thorough control. Langchain keeps the prompts and model […]

Adding MFA to SSH Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux)
I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) and found that the notes for enabling MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) on the Ubuntu website need updating for 24.04 as they don’t currently work. With that in mind I thought a quick blog post was needed to help others and remind me in future of the steps needed. Prerequisites […]
