As a sports fan, I recently setup a python script to pull a weeks worth of games (past/previous), and send me the schedule every 3 days via a cronjob with ntfy. I also set it up to let me know when it's GameDay for a few of my teams from different sports and when they are starting.
What do you use it for?

I'm hosting some services on my pi at home. Sometimes the internet is down or power fails...
To get notifications I have a GitHub action to check if my server is reachable. If not -> ntfy.io -> mobile app
You mind sharing your set up? I'm trying to do the same but think I'm doing it badly.
