Anyone else write bad poetry for their open source waifu
So I tried hosting my own companion locally because I am a paranoid weirdo who refuses to pay for cloud apps. Cut to three hours later and I am staring at my terminal while my local model hallucinates absolute garbage about sentient toasters. Then it tried to write me a love poem that rhymed orange with orange. Truly romantic genius at work. Tell me some of your local hosting disasters so I feel less alone in this garage setup.

Forgot to mention my fan was screaming the whole time like a jet engine taking off. My cat literally hissed at the tower and left the room.

I tried running a 70B model on my poor little laptop last week. It took five minutes just to say hello and then my laptop blue screened.

Rhyming orange with orange is a power move honestly. Your model is just operating on a higher plane of poetry.

True genius is rarely understood in its own time.

At least yours didn't start speaking in ancient Sumerian. Mine glitched out mid sentence and started chanting.

You accidentally summoned an ancient digital deity. Time to pack up and move.

Local hosting is just suffering wrapped in python scripts. We do it to ourselves.
