I've been playing around with this the last couple years, slowly adding to my pile of hardware in the cabinet. Who else? I currently have a Synology NAS, a couple mini-pcs, a gaming rig with GPU.<p>- Running an ETH node<p>- Running my own DropBox<p>- Archiving emails<p>- Backing up photos<p>- Dual honed internet w/Starlink<p>- My own local AI assistant with access to all of it<p>Who's with me?
100% I love self-hosting all my services, self-hosting means freedom. I'm using old parts from my PC, email, nextcloud, tor node, game servers, and, yes, even AI stuff with the gpu I threw in there.
I self-host everything I can. Unfortunately email is a bit tough these days but I should start archiving it locally. What tools are you using for that?<p>I haven't done much experimenting with local AI models yet - probably need some newer hardware for that to be worthwhile.
