I love #LLM, or as they're often called, #AI, especially when used locally. Local models are incredibly effective for enhancing daily tasks like proofreading, checking emails for spelling and grammatical errors, quickly creating image descriptions, transcribing audio to text, or even finding that one quote buried in tons of files that answers a recurring question.

However, if I wanted to be fully transparent to #bigtech, I would use Windows and Android with all the "big brotherly goodness" baked into them. That's why I hope these tools don't connect to third-party servers.

So, my question to you is: Do you propose a privacy-oriented and locally/self-hosted first LLM?

I'm not opposed to the general notion of using AI, and if done locally and open-source, I really think it could enhance the desktop experience. Even the terminal could use some AI integration, especially for spell-checking and syntax-checking those convoluted and long commands. I would love a self-hosted integration of some AI features. 🌟💻

I am trying to configure Owncast to share some Homelabbing during the day

The problem is, I cannot get OBS to connect to it, via its RTMP instance

Has anyone tried deploying Owncast on a Kubernetes cluster, and was successful ?

I checked online and very little resource...

Any help very much welcome

Ok #homelab fam. I have about 10-15 years of #selfhosted hard drives. I need to make them unreadable before it recycle them. As I retired systems I took the chassis to my county’s tech waste disposal place. But I kept out the hard drives figuring I would eventually dispose of them properly.

They’ve got sensitive data on them (email, documents, etc). I realistically don’t have any way to power them up to wipe with something like dban or shredos. What can I do using tools I’m likely to have around the house or in my garage (eg I do NOT own a drill press) that can render them unreadable?

How do I wreck them quickly and easily and still make them sorta recyclable/disposable?
