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 need to do something similar. I have a Esp32S3 music player/ voice assistant connected to my old Yamaha, 90s AV receiver. It can change the volume knob via IR commands (cool integrated motor that physically turns the knob when the remote or HA changes the volume with IR).

I want to do something like put a ring magnet and an encoder on the tiny shaft or something to get position feedback to couple to HomeAssistant/musicassistant.

    Some old Players got a needle that moved on a scale to show the current volume (and Channel if Radio). Do you have something like that? This could maybe be used to encode the current volume into HA via HAL or Ultrasonic sensors.
