I have a music streaming app (https://audiostreamer.org/) running from a machine at home that I like to listen to at work.

Verizon FIOS loves changing my home IP address randomly, especially whenever we lose power at home, which is unfortunately common. Since I can't know my IP in that case without being at home, I built a super small web app that I call Waypoint.

Essentially, every morning my PC pings the server running Waypoint. The app stores my IP address. If the IP ever changes and I'm not at home, all I need to do is go there to get the new one. (Yes, the website is password protected).

All-in-all, it took probably less than 30 minutes from start to finish to get this setup working, and it solved a minor problem in my life.

Nice one. I used to have a large mp3 collection (now replaced by Spotify) and would have loved to use audiostreamer and Waypoint to get to it while at work.
