One fun thing I use it for is semi-automated photo/video backups to my storage servers: a grapheneos storage scope makes the media directory available to termux, and then I have a termux shortcut to run a shell script with a bunch of rsync jobs. Works far more reliably than the godawful nextcloud app, and it’s far more fun to watch.

When I’m building out the role/playbook for a new service, I make sure to build in any special upgrade tasks it might have and tag them. When it’s time to run infrastructure-wide updates, I can run my single upgrade playbook and pull in the upgrade tasks for everything everywhere - new packages, container images, git releases, and all the service restart steps to load them.
It’s more work at the beginning to set the role/playbook up properly, but it makes maintaining everything so much nicer (which I think is vital to keep it all fun and manageable).
More laws written by people who have zero fucking idea what they’re writing laws about.
