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.
You must log in or # to comment.
You could host a Tor relay node (or an i2p node). These networks need crowd and bandwidth.
https://romm.app/ - Self hosted game ROM manager that lets you play retro games directly in the browser (using RetroArch cores compiled to WebAssembly).
https://retroassembly.com/ is a similar project.
There’s also https://gamevau.lt/ which is like a self-hosted version of Steam, for DRM-free games (like from GOG).
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.
I think I read recently about some emulator portal you can selfhost, would that be silly enough? Requires you to acquire ROMs though.
I just posted a comment about this :D
Game servers? https://linuxgsm.com/. Have an Unreal Tournament 99… tournament with friends.
