Im trying to self-host a chatbot as everyone says it’s way more secure, but no one talks about the downside

I’m not a coding whiz, so I thought it’d be a fun project… big mistake, the costs are piling up and I’m spending way too much time googling every little issue. I’m using Llama and need to borrow my friend’s GPU just to test it out.

Anyone else been through this? Any good resources for noobs like me, or maybe a chatgpt alternative to end this nightmare? :))
