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.
Fascinating stuff, and a linear streaming French TV from the 90s would be awesome. For what it’s worth, the only redeeming element of Amazon and other VOD services is that they do often have a ton of “live tv” channels that are just regular ol’ TV, but one show over and over. Music videos or MST3K is my usual go-to.
Yeah i was also fan of apps like Mobdro which featured 24/7 feeds of TV shows or even movies by genre. That’s the initial inspiration i went with.
