Little effect in what regard?

Thanks for the heads up, yea I’m well aware of that, I use it to, well… sync, my phone pictures with my PC.

I will probably start with this approach and see where it leads me, thanks!

Docker configs, sensitive documents, pictures, a limited amount of video files…

Notwithstanding that running an LLM is still more expensive than a search engine, in any reasoning around running an LLM you must include the training and, most of all, the incentive as a consumer you are giving to further training.

It’s like arguing that cooking a steak has negligible environmental impact. The point is the whole industry meant to provide you the steak in the first place.

No I’m not. Other questions?

Sure, or you could send an email to the leading international institution on the matter to get a very accurate answer!

Is it the most reasonable course of action? No. Is it more reasonable than waste a gazillion Watt so you can maybe get some better keywords to then paste in a search engine? Yes.

I need to throw random spare old HDs at it, I expect failures, I expect expanding it, I expect very different sizes between the disks.

I’m very new to the whole ordeal but to my knowledge ZFS and, less so BTRFS are a bit too rigid for my setup, I’m personally looking at Debian with mergerFS and SnapRAID.

A privacy respecting search engine.

There are a huge number of vastly better solutions to get that…
