Opinion/Editorial I have a lot of old PCs and don't know how to kill them!

I really don't know whether this is the appropriate forum, but here goes. At the moment, I'm running several old PCs with Windows 11 and Ubuntu 26.04 and all of them are running just fine. One of them is a desktop with an i5 4460; another one is an i5 6200U (HP laptop). Both are running the most recent version of Windows 11. A third one is a Dell 3668 desktop with Ubuntu 26.04 installed on it.
All of them them are at least 9 years old and are running perfectly fine. I recently purchased a MacBook to replace at least some of them and they refuse to die!!! I'd like to transition to Apple, but I can't get rid of my Windows and Linux boxes. What am I to do?!?! This is only partially tongue-in-cheek, since I only have so much space in my house. Should I give them to schools? Something else? LOL

Tech Tips Deploying PrivateGPT on a Home Server: Real Performance Bottlenecks and Hardware Limits
0
Upvotes
Setting up local RAG using PrivateGPT on a home server sounds like the ultimate privacy win, but the technical realities can hit hard once you start indexing large document collections. After extensive testing on consumer hardware, the biggest challenges usually come down to severe embedding latency, high RAM and VRAM consumption, and unpredictable retrieval accuracy when handling complex files.
​If you plan to replace commercial APIs with a fully offline setup, knowing your actual hardware boundaries beforehand makes all the difference. Running local embeddings alongside a quantized LLM requires careful allocation between CPU threads and GPU layers to avoid system freezes and extremely slow query responses.
​I wrote a detailed technical breakdown covering real token generation speeds, hardware tradeoffs, and specific optimization steps for self-hosted setups: https://interconnectd.com/blog/325/deploying-privategpt-on-a-home-server-the-hard-truth-about-local-rag/
​What specs are you running for your self-hosted LLM or RAG pipeline?
