I’m reading about hazing
Woodworking. Physical activity, relaxing, and can save money.
It’s like doing engineering without having to deal with other people.
37 Atmospheres.
Mycology, shibari rope, and music theory
Gaming. Went back and 100%ed a few games like Neon White, Exit 8, Omori, and Space Marine and my god did it feel good. I think this is what got me out of my depressive episode/alcoholism. Hopefully this time I won’t relapse.
Omori curing depression? Damn, way to fight fire with fire
ADHD won’t let me 😭
Getting more into the BSDs.
I have OpenBSD as a desktop on a laptop I have and it’s great.
Also wanting to get back into retrocomputing.
If it only was a bit more power efficient I’d use it on my old laptop. FreeBSD was a bit better, but still not quite there.
I’ve been very hyperfixated on my model railroad recently. I got halfway decent at woodworking, pretty good with a drill and some brackets and wood and right now I’m building soldering and electronics skills. I’ve also been doing some locomotive repairs and getting pretty good disassembling, diagnosing and repairing them!
Most recently I’ve been focused on electronics and building a nice collection of components. I’m strongly considering spinning up a side gig selling some pre-made circuits that for whatever reason just arent available right now despite being fairly desirable and fairly simple to solder up if you’re willing to do a bit of reading and warm up the soldering iron
I just started sewing and it feels like a thing I could devote all my time and energy to
Oooh I also sew. I mended a reusable grocery bag the othet day. Currently I’m sewing stuffies as christmas presents.
What projects are you working on?
I have been self-hosting Zusam for sharing photos of kids with the family. After a bit of a chat with the dev I forked the web app and started smashing in new features and customising it to work more how I want it to work, to be my vision instead of his. It’s a heavier webapp than Zusam’s very light one but it works well I reckon. It just sits over Zusam kind of like how alternate UIs work in Lemmy.
That’s been my determined focus the last week or so, but I’m probably about to stop for 6 months because that’s how I roll.
Does anyone want to get into a long ass discussion about either Battletech or Naval History?
Linux and Beatmaking. Finally just me and my PC again! Love it!
Oh damn that’s awesome. Which DAW do you use?
LMMS of course :))
Right now it’s knitting and electronics - working on a deep blue shawl with sparkling beads in the pattern of a star chart, and wiring and coding up a pair of motion-reactive light-up pole dancing heels for my wife, fun stuff ❤️
I would love to see both of those projects when they’re finished, both sound so awesome!
Those big wooden jigsaw puzzles with intricate little pieces. Lets me get away from all the screens for a while
I got angry about a really poorly designed website, so now I’m learning web development to try to make a better one, and show how easily it could be improved.
I’ll likely fail at this task, but the learning is fun and never wasted.
I’m playing around with some lidar data obtained from shuttle missions. The visualisations of landscapes are dope.
Qgis has a great plugin for turning DEMs into 3d printable STL objects! If you play around with the vertical exaggeration, depending on how much elevation change the terrain has, you can print some AMAZING things!
If you can get yourself a cheap 3d printer this is an excellent add-on to your hobby :)
