LM Link – This is the future I want

Finally got around to dusting off a old setup and I am thrilled with the results. I'm using a 200$ used GPU and 11year old CPU. Basically a retired game rig. I can now host a private model to my entire family that is just as capable as the things they were using it for without worrying of all the private information leaking out. While I am extremely impressed on the outputs of the local model, I am not to concerned about its quality. It's fine. What's more exciting is it's a path forward to data sovereignty and ownership.
Great job on the privacy policy.

Setup was easy.
As hardware improves, and local models improve...this is the way.
The connection is powered by tailscale, long-term I would like to see other implementations of this wire to diversify how these devices are connecting.
Iroh, recently posted here comes to mind... But in general, a stream of text is not a heavy payload and shouldnt need to rely on a loss-leader from any one place.
