IF I already have a NAS/mini pc can I just install this stuff and get all the benefits because I don't need the hardware?

I wonder if they would still be in business if they worked offline.

You subscription is about to go up.
I'm going to start looking into alternative solutions ;)
Anyone have a solid alternative solution for local streaming?

This reminds me of the recent LaurieWired video presenting a hypothetical of, "what if we stopped making CPUs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2OJFqs8bUk
Spoiler, but the answer is basically that old hardware rules the day because it lasts longer and is more reliable of timespans of decades.
DDR5 32GB is currently going for ~$330 on Amazon
DDR4 32GB is currently going for ~$130 on Amazon
DDR3 32GB is currently going for ~50 on Amazon (4x8GB)
For anyone where cost is a concern, using older hardware seems like a particularly easy choice, especially if a person is comfortable with a Linux environment, since the massive droves of recently retired Windows 10 incompatible hardware works great with your Linux distro of choice.
Nice, My current PC uses DDR4
Time to dust off my 2012 PC and put Linux on it.

I like AI to figure out complex issue or something I would just find on stackoverflow. It's great for doing boiler plate crap that I don't want to do anyways. But when you need it to do something that it hasn't found in a git repo, it struggles.
If I'm understanding this right. I can train it on private data only for my company and then I can use the chat bot only for my site to acquire customers?
Yes - you can use local LLMs through LiteLLM and Ollama. Would you like us to support anything else?
LM Studio?

You need an API for creating events?
Yes, I would piggyback on to the base event which would be created, which would allow me to build out my extra features which need a base event.
API's are always a good thing, weather they are private or not.

Right now nope, but I'm planning to add new features.
API, Please make an API?
I could integrate my RSVP system into it which requires more specific features but could use this to create the base for the event.

Cool, can you make it use local free models because I'm broke and can't afford AI's crazy costs.
