I don’t because I don’t have the necessary depth of skill.

But I don’t say I “blindly” trust anyone who says they’re FOSS. I read reviews, I do what I can to understand who is behind the project. I try to use software (FOSS or otherwise) in a way that minimizes impact to my system as a whole if something goes south. While I can’t audit code meaningfully, I can setup unique credentials for everything and use good network management practices and other things to create firebreaks.

Is that really the message you got? It’s worded differently than what I see in mine.

Ah, you want specialized instead of general.

Well, then is a couple of books enough to train your LLM? How many books are there on wavelengths your first doublet filters for?

Seems like you might want a forum full of topic specific comments too to feed into the model. A photography textbook with a section on lenses is good, real questions and answers from actual photographers with real scenarios would be better for most people.

If copyright were magically not an issue, why does this need to be local/self hosted?

Like sure, some people will still self host and we need some people to keep information independent of corporations. But for people who just want a summary of a car maintenance task, why would they go to a local repository instead of the largest one they can find?

I use Podcast Addict too. Found it well over six years ago and never bothered to look for another.
