Yep, that is something I do also actively experiment with in home projects. Local NAS (Synology) with 28TB of RAIDed storage, local containers and VMs on it and local gitea and other devops and productivity tools. All that talks to my mac which runs editing, compiling, etc and lmstudio with local agent. Not best always with AI, I lack enough RAM but close to imagine how I will work in the future, end-to-end
