You don't do it. It's really simple.

Surprisingly it’s now r/linux that thinks blocking technological process so that lawyers can get you 30 cents in a decade for compensation is a good thing. What a world

This isn't tech progress, it's a hostile corporate takeover.

The hardware running local LLMs in my homelab begs to differ

Did you actually develop these "local LLMs" from scratch, or were they trained and released by AI corporations? Because if it's the latter, I don't see how running them in your homelab makes it "not a corporate takeover" any more than running Windows on your own hardware means you're not losing control over your computer when you do that.

Go ahead, let me know what nefarious things these LLMs are depriving me of running on my own private network. What sort of corporate grip is held over me? Comparing them to running software like Windows is hilarious.

Is this subreddit really plagued by non-technical people?

Comparing running proprietary software (an LLM you don't have the source code for and cannot modify/recompile) with running proprietary software (Windows, which you don't have the source code for and cannot modify/recompile) makes me non-technical?
