The personal wiki idea is so insanely nerdy and obsessive and might just be the thing that pushes me to start self-hosting stuff. That's such an amazing idea.
Even more so when you consider that my initial impulse to set it up was to be a better host when my friends visit. Like the stereotype of staff at high end restaurants and hotels taking notes on their guests' preferences. I kept forgetting important stuff like allergies and now with the wiki, I have everyone's favorite drinks and snacks ready, plan dinner that everyone likes, that kind of stuff.
From there it was just a tiny step to use the wiki to keep track of other stuff that would otherwise sit in the back of my brain or in some badly-maintained list until I forget.
