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.
Does the signal bot need its own phone number?
I think I read somewhere, that Signal just recently allowed registration without phone number (“just” a spare device and a one-time payment, it’s in Android Beta, apparently), so that’ll work now.
Yep. I keep an old phone for the bot to be a linked device.
God that sucks.
Why not use SimpleX or Wire or Matrix?
What would be the advantage?
