Great, now instead of just being bored, I get to manage three servers and two dozen public-facing services that I have to maintain for a growing number of users, along with the servers themselves, as any cog in this machine may break and burst into flames like a house of cards… and still be bored with the added stress.

Yaaaaay, hobbies…

You may have chosen the wrong one.

This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary
Show threadxxce2AAbMar 9
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that’s called a “job”.
Show threadMidnight WolfMar 9
You’d think yeah :P

i wish we had those in good quality still

If the cogs didn’t break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn’t be a very good hobby.

Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn’t matter if it’s the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

Ever thought about shitcanning all of that and just folding some paper cranes?

I’m in too deep. Save yourself!

You misunderstood, this wasn’t an analogy. The secret to enrichment is literally putting raw hamburger in a pumpkin and rolling it around your home.

What services?
Show threadMidnight WolfMar 10

I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have…

NAS:

  • BentoPDF
  • Clam-Shell (discord bot using clamav)
  • FreshRSS
  • Haven (discord alternative)
  • Kitchen Owl
  • Linkwarden
  • LubeLogger
  • MeshCentral (for me to admin systems)
  • Nametag (relationship organizer and visual map)
  • Owncast (streaming, for myself)
  • Plex
  • Radicale
  • Red (discord multifunction bot)
  • RustDesk
  • Snipe-IT
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Vaultwarden
  • Wallos (subscription manager)
  • Wireguard
  • YourLastFM (for myself)

ThinkServer - Proxmox:

  • Debian 13, running BOINC
  • Home Assistant
  • Windows Server 2022, running Motor Town dedi

VPS:

  • American Truck Simulator dedi
  • BeamMP dedi x7
  • Duplicati (for backups)
  • FiveM
  • Minecraft

I have stuff offline like a Satisfactory dedi, and the docker container for Euro Truck Simulator is broken for whatever reason… and stuff that is running for admin purposes that I won’t list since security and all that (and a couple ‘bare metal’ services too). My users are family, close friends, and members of my discord/have gaming community that have brought in over the last few years.

Y’all have money left for hobbies?
Show threadxxce2AAbMar 10
Well. There’s always humming, I suppose.

Y’all have time left for hobbies?
Show threadbridgeburnerMar 11
Yeah I have a 4-day work week. Not with full pay of course, just 80% as well.
Show threadosannaMar 10
one of my hobbies is reading. Yarrrrr… it’s free :)
Show threadltxrtquqMar 10
Yeah, we all know about the library already.
Show threadSloveneMar 11
What if they’re stealing the reading? What if they go to the local bookstore, read for a while and then put the book back on the shelf and leave? We have no idea what kind of criminal we could be dealing with here.
