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.

Not sure it really counts.

For community radio

A VPS running wireguard.

Four presenters connect in from home.

Using Stream What You Hear to create the live MP3 stream from their mixer.

Played using Zara Radio to the FM transmitter.

It's pretty reliable.

Same VPS hosts a Rustdesk server.

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.

Absolutely counts! Never even imagined that as an option.
