I've got a host running FreeBSD, I use it for pfsense. It's probably my most reliable machine. Limited use case but would recommend.

Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.

Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.

How long does it reasonably take? Just a weekend?

When I last set up LFS it took a week, but I read everything. I was doing it to better understand how Linuxes work

...that was a full week, it would have taken much longer had I had other things to do

I would be doing it to learn as well. I'm pretty good with Linux, I work for Red Hat. But, I don't get down in the weeds at all. I do mostly Ansible and OpenShift.
