More self-hosted services
They are mostly for my own use. However, it should reflect my dedication and love for IT. ☕
And maybe it gives you an idea of what you can self-host on your own server.

AI
Yes, I also have self-hosted AI models (open-weights LLMs). And you can host them yourself without owning a 20,000 euro GPU.
Although AI is really helpful and all that, I hate many aspects of how companies implement and use it.
- We're seeing "AI-powered" devices, like TVs and monitors that no one actually asked for.
- It’s having a significant impact on the hardware market in a way that’s harmful to consumers.
- Some companies are prioritizing AI investments over their employees.
- And some people have become so reliant on AI that they’ve stopped using their own brains!
That being said, the underlying technology itself is absolutely fascinating and super interesting.
I use Open WebUI and Ollama to run LLMs locally, studying and adapting them to my needs, ensuring my independence from Big Tech.

Satisfactory Dedicated Server
Satisfactory is a factory simulation game by Coffee Stain Studios which also features cooperative multiplayer. Since the dedicated server is quite resource-intensive, it is only online when my friends and I need it.
Server address: satisfactory.cycasc.net
