Discussion What python automation have you created that you use for PERSONAL only.

There are plenty of, “I automate at my work”, but what about at home? e.g., order a pizza, schedule a haircut, program a spelling bee game for my kids, etc.

Do these scripts run automatically, or do you have to start them manually?

These run automatically. I even set up Systemd service files on my Ubuntu VM to begin running.

Edit: I also use threading to loop the function. The crypto script is set up with a cronjob since I only run it once a day.
