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

By the time you buy the enclosure you can get another old computer. Pickup a old workstation and put the GPU in it. Be mindful of power requirements
