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 built myself a ‘new masked email’ workflow. I copy and paste the site url into the form and click create. It generates my random masked email, generates a strong password, prompts me for my keepass password then saves all the things and copies the generated password to the clipboard. Here are some screenshots. I did a test entry to demonstrate for you.
New form.
I type in my KeePass password and I get this screen while the entry is automatically saved to KeePass.
This all runs on an Intel NUC in my office and is accessible over my local network.
You might want to check out pass - the standard Unix password manager
I have and use pass for system secrets but for service where I’m logging in via the browser, I prefer KeePass.
This is awesome.
