I can rent cloud stuff, but it's just not worth it for casual/experimental use.
Like keeping Deepseek V4 loaded and hitting it rarely, but I want it to be in my control... it's just easier to do it locally.
Or experiments I launch like 30 times before it works. I'd waste hours moving all my stuff to a cloud instance, configuring it, tinkering with the experiment to get it to launch; the thing would be idle the vast majority of the time. And yeah, I know I can containerize stuff, but some projects I can't even test without a sizable memory pool.
