Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)... I keep circling back to Nova video player.

https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/releases

It's arguably not even self hosting...but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

Several things. Mosquitto to control an ecosystem of LEGO models, some CALDAV syncer, and a mediawiki engine for D&D worldbuilding.

Yeah like the other guy I couldn't find anything on this Mosquitto either. I'm curious! Haha. (I found some GitHub project with like zero information hah)

Mosquitto is a MQTT broker.

control an ecosystem of LEGO models

Please elaborate.

Short version: modified MILS plates carry 12V power across the whole layout. Inside those MILS plates is enough space to hide a Raspberry Pi Pico W, which controls lights and motors on this plate. It communicates with the Mosquitto broker to coordinate actions, e.g light effects.
