Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
I created two web apps to help when playing the boardgame Gloomhaven. Both were coded in Elm and were done partly because I had a need for them and partly just for the joy of coding in Elm. I'll link the github repos of both, the demo is linked in the README for each.
The first app is Battle Objectives [0] which I made so that my group could play with some "enhanced battle objectives" I found online. The fan-made enhanced battle objectives are freely available on Boardgame Geek but I didn't want to print out and cut out all the cards so I coded them into an app. I linked this app on BGG but didn't think it was getting any use from anyone outside my personal Gloomhaven group. But I also found out while writing this post that someone forked Battle Objectives to translate it to German so I guess someone was using it! [1]
The second one is Hitdeck [2] which I made to automate the tedium of reshuffling my hitdeck and of rebuilding it to add and remove cards as the game went on.

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
I wrote a PPPoE client with failover so I can keep the session even when one of my gateways fails or is rebooted (this lets me do regular maintenance without interrupting my internet connection); I put it on github[1], but I doubt anyone will use it. I hope there are few people left with the scourge that is PPPoE, and my OS choice means many people would need to switch OSes to use it, so yeah. Also, I don't care to make it easy to use or to promote it, really. (I've mentioned it once or twice and did a Show HN that got less than ten votes, which I kind of expected).
I've also got my personal (network) monitoring software, some 'IoT' stuff to capture temperature and humidity data around my house, and I'm working on a ESP32 based alarm clock pulling data from iCalendar.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
I just published https://github.com/russor/ppp_thing which lets me (and maybe you) failover my PPPoE session between two FreeBSD hosts, so I can do regular maintenance without losing my IP or impacting TCP sessions.
I used to let my DSL modem handle PPPoE and NAT, so failover was easy, but found out fragmented IPv6 crashed the leased modem, and the replacement modem also sucks, so bridge mode + a custom PPPoE client (but from netgraph pieces) it is. Sadly useful in 2021, because PPPoE is somehow still a thing.
