Remember when listening to music was as simple as pressing a single button? Those days when you’d walk into a room, flip a switch on your amplifier, and instantly be surrounded by your favorite tunes? There was something magical about that simplicity—no computers to boot up, no apps to navigate, no complex digital interfaces to wrestle with.

The Problem with Modern Audio Systems

As our music collections went digital and streaming services became the norm, we gained incredible access to virtually unlimited music libraries. But something was lost along the way: simplicity.

It’s possible to use generative AI without sharing your data with companies or states that raid our data.

The world of free software is full of applications for evaluating and using generative AI. After extensive testing, I present here the cloud-init file for deploying your own LocalAI instance in under 5 minutes.

Why LocalAI?

LocalAI is a free software application designed to offer a local, self-hosted alternative to AI service providers. The application features an API compatible with that of OpenAI. The idea is to be able to replace calls to OpenAI from any existing application in the blink of an eye: simply change the domain to which the API points.

Union file systems are a mechanism for merging two or more file systems, to present them unified, under a single mount point for the user.

The main idea behind this mechanism is to be able to alter the contents of the first file system (e.g. the contents of a CD-ROM) by writing all changes (additions, deletions, modifications) to the second (which could be a disk partition, a USB stick, …).
