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.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
A torrent client that exposes torrent content as files: https://github.com/distribyted/distribyted
It's pretty fun to work on it and implement new use cases. Right now it supports FUSE mounts, but I'm thinking to make it work as a WebDAV server too.
Also, I'm working on several demos, like SQLite compatibility, similar to https://github.com/lmatteis/torrent-net, or CSV analysis using Jupyter notebooks for huge datasets like https://ghtorrent.org/
