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.

I tried it many years ago and it was nice, but I couldn't really make it fit my workflow properly.

Somewhat related, I run a linux VM with Everything search 1.5 (alpha, beta or rc, I don't remember, but it's much better than 1.4) in Wine, and that VM has most of my main storage array mounted read-only. Then I have the Everything web interface enabled, so I have a place to search my tens of millions of hoarded files instantly. Doesn't archive file content though.
