Tell me your most exotic selfhosted solution, the crazier, the better, no 0815 solutions! (alien.top)

I don’t want to hear about your Plex, your NPM, your notes application or science forbid, your budgeting application. I want to hear the most exotic thing you setup to selfhost, that probably only you and a hand full of people around the world actually use or even need. A problem that you solved in a way, that makes people go WTF. Go!

I’ll start: I live in the mountains, and there is snow, lots of snow. I often tell people “We had 3m of snow last year”, but is that really true? So, I thought to myself: Can you measure snowfall? It seems you can, so I setup a USH-9 ultra sound measuring device, connected it via IC2 to my Home Assistant and now I can tell people with confidence, that we had a total of 3.45m of snowfall last season, with max snow height of 60cm on January 5th.

Future project: I have chickens. They lay eggs. I have cameras. I want to know which hen lays how many eggs. Solution? AI image recognition of the hens (who is who) and if they have laid an egg. Any inputs welcome.

I have kubernetes cluster running a vanilla warcraft server full of computer controlled bots that play in the world while I'm offline, just chuggs away all day then sometimes I log in and see how the bots are doing and play a little.

Do you train a model on playing warcraft?

No there is a popular extension to one of the open source cores that operates bots for you, it's not ai it just has access to gm commands internally so it can scan the game word for interact able objects and then follow set behaviour scripts based on what it sees
