My favorite hobby category is tracking things.

I like tracking movies I watch, books I read, music I listen to, plants & animals I encounter, birds I see/hear.

I do most of this on proprietary, closed source software. but I will soon move it to my own website or self-host it on my home server.

@spacebuffer I love that as well 🥰 saw a documentation years ago: before big data there was a random nerd with a gigantic spreadsheet tracking history of almost everything in his life. I loved that idea!

I still use Letterboxd and I accidentally bought a year of bearable, but I switched some tracking to open source Apps. Migraine Log, Med Timer, trale (weight), Food you (from the top of my head).
There are letterboxd alternatives but it's so pretty and I like to read the reviews of others😅

@spacebuffer I would love a tutorial on how to track everything (or almost everything) on my selfhosted server (got a raspi 5 working for me). So please share your journey if you want to, I'll keep track (lol)

@onni For sure I'll let you know when I get something out on my blog. Building my homelab has taken longer than expected due to the hardware shortage, but oh well.

@spacebuffer I see! I was dreaming of a homelab before the price spike and I managed to get a raspberrypi 5 earlier this year for a now ridiculous low price 😅 but it's "just" a raspi so my homelab will have to fit into that
