Some suggestions on security might be useful, anyone?

I just recently found Scudo - seems easy to use and configure, but I've not yet tried it. I did buy their more complex Murus Firewall and Vallum for very specific use cases (a bit too complex), so this may well be useful.

I was going to try Sip until I read about an issue that is still present in the new version regarding sampling on-screen images. You can read more about the details here.

You can use something like spell-right which is offline :)

Oh yeah, there is also languagetool but it does the same thing as Grammarly but it does send on the server.

Pretty sure then nothing exists for offline grammar checking then. It must be doing some heavy processing on the server I guess.
