A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'd like to prevent building a completely new server just to run a gpu for AI workloads. Currently, everything is running on my laptop, except it's dated cpu only really works well for smaller models.

Now I have an nvidia m40, could I possibly get it to work using thunderbolt and an enclosure or something? note: it's on linux

I did not say occasionally. We use AI a lot. Currently it's mostly for image indexing, recognition, object detection, and audio transcription. But we're planning to expand to more, and we'd like to use models that are more accurate

Fair enough. Yes I figured you probably wouldn't have a M40 lying around by accident 😅

Oh it kinda just got here somehow. I don't know why, all I did was buy the thing
