Local AI on your Unraid server isn't just chatbots, it's image generation, music, voice cloning, photo recognition, automatic transcription, and so much more, all running on hardware you already own. But where do you even start? In this video I walk through the whole landscape of local AI for Unraid users. What it actually is, the two completely different types you can run, and what hardware you really need to get going. This isn't a setup guide. Think of it as your mental map of local AI, so when you do start installing things, you'll actually understand what you're doing and why.We cover generative vs predictive AI, the three reasons people run AI locally (privacy, cost, control), real working examples on my own server, and a full walkthrough of the hardware tiers from CPU to high-end GPU, including which card I'd actually recommend you buy first and why.Key Links🔗 Frigate (open source NVR with AI object detection).🔗 Frigate live demo.🔗 Speaches (Whisper + Kokoro container).🔗 Ollama.🔗 Open WebUI.🔗 ComfyUI.▶️ Related videos on the channel.🔗 A-Eye (local photo renaming with AI).🔗 Paperless AI (auto-tagging your documents).💬 Want me to make a follow-up video benchmarking all of those GPUs with proper AI benchmark software?

In the April episode of Ed & Stefano Unleashed, we're talking the Unraid 7.3 beta with internal NVMe boot, a huge 45 HomeLab partnership for the first official Unraid server, backup strategies and why most of us are doing them wrong, a Supreme Court ruling that could have broken the internet, compromised routers and supply chain security scares, Intel's new 32GB Arc GPUs for under $1,000, smart TVs shoving ads into HDMI switching, Meta's AI agent going rogue, and a Neuralink patient playing World of Warcraft with his mind.We kick things off with Unraid 7.3 Beta, which finally lets you boot from NVMe or SSD instead of a USB flash drive, plus dedicated boot pool support and TPM 2.0-based license keys. Then the big announcement: a partnership with 45 HomeLab to create the first ever official Unraid server, purpose-built for media streaming, ZFS, VMs, and local AI, shipping with a lifetime license and ECC RAM this spring. The community chat dives deep into backup strategies, why parity is not a backup, the 3-2-1 rule, and why you should test your backups before you actually need them. Ed reveals he runs no parity on his main server, instead doing nightly rsync delta backups to a second parity-protected box.Episode Takeaways◦ Unraid 7.3 Beta brings internal NVMe/SSD boot, dedicated boot pools, and TPM 2.0 license keys. Enable TPM2, not Secure Boot◦ Official Unraid server with 45 HomeLab coming this spring. Lifetime license, ECC RAM, pre-orders soon◦ Parity is not a backup. Use the 3-2-1 rule and don't forget Docker volumes and AppData◦ Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in Cox v Sony: ISPs are not copyright gatekeepers◦ FBI reports 369,000 compromised routers since 2020.

In the March episode of Ed & Stefano Unleashed, we're talking Unraid storage layouts done right, the Huntarr security disaster, vibe coding and whether AI-generated code can be trusted, NVIDIA's latest driver chaos, the Windows 12 subscription rumour, smart TVs secretly turning your home into a botnet, and the ongoing hardware shortage hitting RAM and hard drives alike. We kick things off with the new Unraid product portal, teases an upcoming local AI Uncast video, and reveals his new RTX 5090, which idles at just 7 watts. The community storage deep dive covers when to use XFS vs ZFS, why you should never format array drives as individual ZFS pools, and the one trap that can silently wipe data when adding an old drive. Then the Huntarr security incident gets a full breakdown, including how a simple curl command exposed every API key in your entire *arr stack, and how to use AI agents to audit open source code before running it on your server.⁠New Stirling PDF Video⁠Episode Takeaways◦ Unraid product portal live at product.unraid.net for bugs and feature requests◦ RTX 5090 idles at 7W.

On this very special episode of the Uncast Show, we are joined by the Founder and CEO of Lime Technology, Tom Mortensen, and Co-CEO Tiffany Jones to talk about the origins of Unraid OS, the evolution of the product over the past 18+ years, and some upcoming changes to the company to better align the product and user's desires in Unraid 7 and beyond.Tom and Tiffany share their personal career journeys and take us down memory lane as Unraid incorporated VMs and Docker containerization, GPU passthrough (a decision that dramatically shifted the course of the company with Linus Tech Tips), made key hires to expand the team, and talk about some key projects and initiatives that got the company where it is today.The conversation shifts gears to the future and goes into the upcoming changes to Unraid's pricing model for new licenses and why this change is crucial and necessary for sustaining the company and improving the product for all in the years to come. For full details on the upcoming pricing change, please refer to our blog. Wrapping up the episode, we'll get a first look at Unraid 7 and explore some exciting future OS features and projects such as making the unRAID array optional, integrating and maintaining plugins into the OS, VM Snapshots and cloning, the "Hardware Database," the "My Friends Network," a new Unraid website, a public, open-source Unraid API and much, much more. Send us a textOther Ways to Connect with the Uncast Show Uncast Show Website The Uncast Show on Youtube
