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:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Myself, I'm a fan of local LLM / self hosted ML.... but if you ever needed a clarion call that a hard pivot is coming (soon) for online/ cloud based AI...Altman et al are making some concerning mouth noises (to say nothing of broader concerns with OAI, Anthropic etc).

Right now, I'm sketching out a plan where my Raspberry Pi (always on, 2-3w) uses a magic packet to wake up my modest AI server (Lenovo P330 with Tesla P4) if/when needed (Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B); no point in chugging down 80-100w, 24/7 for no good reason.

If the trend continues the direction it appears to be (increasing costs, environmental impacts etc) then I'd feel a lot better hosting my own as port of first call and replacing simpler tasks with more traditional programs. YMMV.

P100s are dirt cheap on ebay fyi

In practice, they’re not very good because of broken FP16, broken kernels, high idle usage and a bunch of other things.

Same with the AMD MI50 and MI100. Looks great on paper, not practical IRL, unless you want to pay a whole team of software devs to fix them for you.

Better to just save up for a 2080 TI or 3090, sadly.

Huh - cheaper than the P40s (though less VRAM) but larger bandwidth due to HBM2. Good looking out

They rip

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I was looking at that. Does it end up faster than something like a 1080?

[–] SuspiciousCarrot78@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Numbers about 3-4x. The P100 is near 800 GB/s. The 1080 is what... 192GB/s? Hell, even if it were double that, HBM2 simply has larger bandwidth. The 1080 was a gaming card; the P100 is a server / number cruncher.
