I self-host everything I can. Unfortunately email is a bit tough these days but I should start archiving it locally. What tools are you using for that?
I haven't done much experimenting with local AI models yet - probably need some newer hardware for that to be worthwhile.
I wrote some code with an IMAP lib. Wasn't too happy with out of the box things.
The smaller Deepseek models are most interesting for self hosting LLM's at the moment. Impressive! Many other ML Things need a lot less compute, though. Like facial recognition, spam filtering, etc.
