I’ve been composing an orchestra piece for slightly over two years now. I’m kind of learning how to do that as I go along, having only really written songs for up to three instruments beforehand.
I created a self hostable plattform for managing and fulfilling wishes but haven’t been able to give it the maintenance it needs. I occasionally work on it but wish I had more time/money to work on it more: https://wishthis.online/
Myself, and god is it a mess of a project
I just made a major step on one. I’ve been collecting small electronics of all sorts over the last 15 years or so, a lot of them pretty obscure. I just got a computer I wanted to use to build an inventory of everything and start a YouTube channel to highlight each item in the collection.
For decades I’ve been dreaming of my own PHP framework because the existing stuff seems to be too clunky, with too much repetitions and not close enough to best practises. By now I have something that theoretically works but I haven’t had enough time to flesh it out.
By now I’m disabled and don’t have the brain capacity to keep working on it.
I don’t have side projects because it’s hard enough to simply get up for work 5 days a week.
My homelab is probably the longest running, but it runs things that I depend on, so I can’t say it’s much of a side project.
Probably Tesseract since I absolutely figured my interest would have fizzled out long ago.
Fiction writing. I started when I was very young, it’s by far my most long-runbing hobby.

The .gitignore file there has been created 10 years ago and I am still using it, but only seldom update it, but still.
Does relearning how to read sheet music and basic chord shapes on the guitar every other year count? One day I’ll figure it out.
There’s a story or stories that’s been going on for the fourth year in my mind. The plot(s) is massive and well-thought-out but everything is riddled with holes in the middle, to the extent where I could not attempt to write it down without it being as disorganized as my thoughts (and, to be honest, clutter in my mind is easier to handle than clutter on the drawing board). Such is the life of a writer/artist, though I recently reduced the load immensely by inventing new mediums.
I’ve been trying to make a lego golf playing automaton for about three years, and I keep running into issues with the system that brings balls up from inside of the model to the surface, and keep having to completely redesign the mechanism. I’m now starting on my fourth redesign.
