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.

for this my wife and i use grocy. we don't really use the stock feature (which is probably the original main feature), bit is nice to do shipping lists by just clicking stuff that you already wrote and the shopping mode of the app is awesome. also the chores feature we use heavily, i just needed to tweak the ics export a bit.

I use vi to write my list and then lp that to my printer. I hate looking at my phone when I’m at the store trying to double check if I got everything.

yeah, i understand you. i don't want to use my phone for every single thing either. in particular I'm not using it when I'm home. but in this case it's really nice for me personally, because stuff that i marked disappears from the top and often my wife and i go together, so having a synced up list is neat
