Grew up in love with computers. Went to RIT for computers. Got a job working with computers. Hate computers. Quit entire industry, love computers again.
This is honestly why I have an incredibly hard time doing personal software projects. I have TONS of thoughts and concepts that I have at various points started to play around with, but as soon as I start getting into the more mundane aspects, I just… can’t maintain my motivation, and I won’t even want to touch it for ages.
Most of my home lab is for automation. Automation of everything. Media, home automation, meal planning, Todo list generation. It’s all so I can be a little lazier. I however love the mundane stuff though so I got that going for me lol
The surest way to hate a thing you used to love is to try to make money off of it.

Which software are you using and/or recommend? (I’ve got Jellyfin and Homeassistant going for the first two, but I’m still undecided on the latter.)
I’ve got a full *arr stack going alongside Plex. Home Assistant for the house. Mealie for recipes and meal planning.
Home Assistant ties most of it together with the help of n8n for some janky API type stuff.
