Running a home server seems relatively popular for all kinds of things. Search term "homelab" brings up a culture of people who seem largely IT-adjacent, prefer retired DC equipment, experiment with network configurations as a means of professional development and insist on running everything in VMs. Search term "self-hosted", on the other hand, seems to skew towards an enterprise of saturating a Raspberry Pi's CPU with half-hearted and unmaintained Python clones of popular SaaS products. In my experience — with both hardware and software vendoring — there is a bounty of reasonable options somewhere in between the two.

I'm skeptical. The Constitution says "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".

In a very recent update, Valve's added what looks like some kind of dashboard to consume game statistics (for a small monthly fee...).

I don't. I think the gist of it was a YouTuber instructing probably-younger, less-experienced people to issue spammy PRs (e.g. small update to READMEs).

In the second scenario, I don't think it's the pre-increment operator that's shown but the unary-plus.
