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.

the app doesn't have access to any of my phones data now. it runs in an isolated environment once every two weeks for about a minute, otherwise I'm only using their web API. so they might ban me, but yeah, it's not that i would care much ;)

It has access to your phone's fingerprint, which is then linked to all your other activity that you do on the phone, because it has the same fingerprint.

It doesn't need access to the phone data. All it needs is the fingerprint.
