I’m pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

  • Learning some magic tricks
  • Learning some origami
  • Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

    I started just with a 2 bay nas that I had a few VMs on… then it spiraled. Back with PIs were cheap it was fun to spin up new stuff all the time. Now an N100 mini-pc is way more cost effective long term, plus you get to start dipping into VMs, LXC, docker, etc.

    Not to mention Home Assistant is an entire hobby in itself. 4 more aqara devices just came for me today.

    I do feel like I should second the comment that it isn’t cheap, but you can do things in bits and pieces that don’t make it feel like you’re spending your life savings.
