Alright so my lab is pretty much functionally complete; it does everything I was hoping it would and much more.

OK so now what :D Do you know of any projects that are self-hostable and serve no functional purpose whatsoever and exist just for fun? Could be silly projects, could be games. I'd like to add a "silly things" section to my publicly facing list of web services.

For instance, I was thinking of hosting a web version of nethack. Also I enjoyed hosting a node of hypermind for a little while just because it was so silly.

I'm running a Minecraft server for me and my sibling, and it's been fun. I managed to get GeyserMC and Floodgate working so that Bedrock edition clients (i.e. their tablet) can connect to the world.

Little silky that there's no Linux version of Bedrock edition to be honest, but it's in Microsoft's interest to keep Windows as the only option that can run both editions.

No Linux Minecraft bedrock got me and my wife to switch to Hytale instead. Get F’ed MicroSlop.

Might want to check out Village Story too, believe its a bit more mature in age, as in the game has been out for longer.

I know that one, once we get bored of Hytale we will check it out. So many new experiences now competing with Minecraft audience.
