Doesn't Twitch own all data that is written and their TOS will state something like you can't store data yourself locally.

No, what is it? How do I try it?

Surely none of that uses a small LLM <= 3B?

That's not the point here. People probably do not need a pi 5. There are many other pi devices (and similar boards) with significantly less draw.

I like how all the big media just happened to publish articles about "peaceful protests" to pacify the protestors, "please don't be violent everyone, the police can't shoot you all in the leg with rubber bullets".

The violent protests are the successful ones. Just ask every country, ever.

Damn, I should have ended the post with /s for people like you.

See here's the thing. Why would anyone want to host ALL the stuff on one pi? That is not what they were designed for. Ollama on a pi? Are you out of your mind? I'd run the biggest model I can on a modern gpu not some crappy old computer or pi....Right tool, right job. And why is dropping containers "less secure"? Do you mean "less cool"? Less easy to deploy? But you're not deploying it, you're installing it. You sound like a complete newb which is fine, but just take a step back from things and get some more experience. A pi is a tool for a purpose, not the end all. Using an old laptop is not going to save the world and arguing that it's just better than a pi (or similar alternative) is just dumb. Use a laptop for all I care, I'm not the boss of you.

As for an arr stack, I'm really disappointed with the software and don't use it and those who do have way too much time to set it up, and then make use of it!

I can self host what I want on a pi zero. But, I do have some 30 years of experience so can probably do things some won't understand / bother with.

I'm sure silicon valley are stepping on each other, vying to get their hands on these super cheap laptops for their 24/7 AI training.

It's even worth pointing out you can disable various parts of the pi so it uses / needs even less juice.

Pi’s are ARM-based, which still to this day limits the scope of their applicability.

Untrue.

Also, you should absolutely inspect a laptop before buying. Many, if not most, of old laptops will run just fine for the next few years.

Until the battery needs replacing, costing more than a pi, one key on the keyboard dies, etc.

Please be specific rather than referring to 'raspberry pis' together. Different models have way different characteristics.
