sorry for any typos, my grammar checker is also down

Self-hosted LanguageTool server[0] with browser addon. 18 gigabytes of n-gram data plus machine learning models. You can catch tpyos on 64K of RAM, but not any deep grammar mistakes, un-idiomatic phrases, or mistakes in common proper names.

Sounds like a lot of heavy lifting for something that is maybe slightly better than spell checking 25 years ago.

If you're asking a self-hoster "why" then you are asking the wrong question

I should have asked what is it there in replacing yourself with a mishmash of external world.
