I’m self hosting on an old laptop, and I’m a convert for life. Self-hosting is amazing. Looking for other people’s weirdest examples of what they’re doing as inspiration.
My example, I recently set up a grammar script, where I have a couple 8b LLMs and an html landing page. I upload a doc and it corrects grammar and highlights changes it made, or just proofreads and I make changes manually. I can upload a novel before bed, and have suggestions based on specific writing styles in the morning. All local, perfectly suited for my own work.
Just today I installed Azuracast on my server, pointed it at my Navidrome library, and now I have my own radio station. Once it’s all configured I’ll hook into it from my laptop for my weekly show using Icecast, which I’m really forward to doing. Because I’m cool.
