Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.
You’re a brave one admitting that on here. Don’t you know LLM’s are pure evil? You might as well be torturing children!
I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂
Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files
If you agree it’s a time saver, then you agree it makes workers more efficient. You now have a team of 5 doing the work of a team of 6. From a business perspective it’s idiotic to have more people than you need to, so someone would be let go from that team.
I personally don’t see any issue with this, as it’s been happening for the existence of humanity.
Tools are constantly improving that make us more efficient.
Most of people’s issue with AI is more an issue with greedy humans, and not the technology itself. Lord knows that new team of 5 is not getting the collective pay as the previous team of 6.
I think most people on here are reasonable, and I think local LLMs are reasonable.
The race to AGI and companies trying to shove “AI” into everything is kind of insane, but it’s hard to deny LLMs are useful and running them locally you dont have privacy concerns.
Interesting, this has not been my experience. Most people on here seem to treat AI as completely black and white, with zero shades of grey.
I see a mix, don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is definitely opinionated lol, but I don’t think it’s quite black and white.
Also, generally, I’m not going to not share my thoughts or opinions because I’m afraid of people that don’t understand nuance, sometimes I don’t feel like dealing with it, but I’m going to share my opinion most of the time.
OP asked what you self host that isn’t media, self hosted LLMs is something I find very useful and I didn’t see mentioned. Home assistant, pihole, etc, all great answers… But those were already mentioned.
I still have positive upvotes on that comment, and no one has flamed me yet, but we will see.
I’ll give my recommendation to local LLMs as well. I have a 1060 super that I bought years ago in 2019 and it’s just big enough to do some very basic auto completion within visual studio. I love it. I wouldn’t trust it to write an entire program on its own, but when I have hit a mental block and need a rough estimate of how to use a library or how I can arrange some code, it gives me enough inspiration to get through that hump.
Ya exactly! Or just sanity checking if you understand how something works, I use it a lot for that, or trying to fill in knowledge gaps.
Also qwen3 is out, check that out, it might fit on a 1060.
