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.

Is anybody aware of any self hosted alternatives to Parrot.ai or Otter.ai? I've tried these services and I'm finding them very useful, but the price tag is a little steep. It seems like something that the open source community could solve. Anybody know of any projects, either existing or upcoming? Thanks!

Thank you! I'll make see if I can string together a few things to come up with my own homebrew version of these services. Honestly, for what they're charging I think I can justify a new dedicated GPU. I've got a few other dockers/services which could take advantage of it anyway, so maybe this is the excuse I've been needing to pull the trigger on that purchase.

LLaMa-2 was just released and the fine-tunings people have made of it are topping the leaderboards right now in terms of performance for an open source language model. As for inference, don’t forget to look into quantization so you can run larger models on limited vram. I’ve heard about vLLM and llama.cpp and its derivatives.

If you’re looking for a GPU ~$300, I heard a used 3060 is better value than a 4060 right now on performance and memory throughout but not power efficiency (if you want an easy time with ML unfortunately the only option is nvidia).

Good luck! Would be nice to get an update if you find a good solution, it seems could share your use case

Thanks for the tip on the GPU! I live in an area where power is relatively cheap, so I'll probably go for the 3060. I really wish some of these would work better with AMD since their drivers seem to be more Linux-Friendly these days.

If I get something going, I'll share for sure!
