Uptime Kuma is a fantastic selfhosted status page system. You can use it to track and notify you of network outages or it can scrape a url for a key word and alert you when it's found. I've heard people using the keyword feature to find out when RPI go back in stock for example.

I use it at work to keep track of our systems and their uptime as well as cloud systems we use.

I have used a lot of stuff over the years but my favorite would have to be a little command line program called cowsay. It takes whatever text you feed it and puts it in a speech bubble above a cow, hence the name.

Combine that with fortune and throw it in your bash script and you get a new message every time you open terminal.

As a music hoarder and RYM nerd, I'd have to say the entire MusicBrainz ecosystem, from the service itself to the tagger.

Right now, it's Warpinator. Makes at-home wireless file transfers so damn SIMPLE.

ReVanced. I love my ad-free, sponsor-blocking, Shorts-removing YouTube experience.

As a bonus, I also enjoy using Mp3tag. It's a program I can use to easily change and update the tags on all my music files, and it can even do it all in batches. It can also connect to various music services (Discogs, Musicbrainz, etc.) to get music tag info directly so you don't have to type it all in manually.
