Learning by doing is hard to beat when it comes to building software.
I am starting a home lab to have a safe environment to try things out. Any ideas on what I could run that is completely useless but fun to set up?

Take any package that is no longer maintained and git clone it.
Configure the dev environment
pre-compile
three tox config files:
testing, docs/lint/formatting/pre-compile/interrogate, update/sync requirements files
unittest --> pytest
Read the tests and then bring it up to your current competency level
gh workflows
pyproject.toml
poetry is worthless!
If the build backend focus is on requirements and not build plugins, remove it. Use a separate package for requirements file management.
For how to do this see how logging-strict is doing it
https://github.com/msftcangoblowm/logging-strict
Specifically pyproject.toml and tox-req.ini

You are not safe
home is not a safe environment. Might be possible with alot of preparation like sound proof and a lock on the room.
The entire point of all the security is to protect yourself from the wife unit
I code at a cafe. Far far far away from interruptions.

@logging_strict We might have different things in mind when we say safe.
Moving to a place for deep work sounds like a good idea indeed!

i'm deadly serious. A cafe isn't silent, just are left alone to do our thing
