  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

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 physical 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...

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You may have chosen the wrong one.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's called a "job".

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

You'd think yeah :P

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm in too deep. Save yourself!

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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 dedi
  • Minecraft Bedrock dedi

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/haven gaming community that have brought in over the last few years.

Hell yes, get rid of anything that's an algorithm.

If you can't run out of content on the platform you're on, it's a bad thing.

Use youtube clients that follow users

Browse text platforms that let you follow communities.

TT, IG, /all, and shorts are where your brain goes to die.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (12 children)

Everything that's on your phone has an algorithm. It's like saying I don't eat things with chemicals in it.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

Technically correct, but I think you know what the above user meant.

Ever had a conversation with a person about two different topics at the same time but each topic is being talked about in a different app, in real time?

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My wife does this.

Our text DMs are about the kids.

Our family chat DMs (Zulip, which is a open-source version of Slack/discord) is full of memes.

(Zulip, which is a open-source version of Slack/discord)

Did you do this to brag, or to avoid the FOSS Enforcement Patrol?

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Ah force of habit. I just came from a conference and I had to explain Zulip a dozen times to people.

Try eating your keeper.

Please keep your dirty hamburgers away from my virgin pumpkin

I mean, it would make for an interesting day.

No, the tiger does not need "enrichment", it needs to be set free. Do not accept being caged as the normal and don't be gaslit into thinking the toys you get is "enrichment".

Reject the premise altogether.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"I angrily reject this joke in a politically awakened manner."

This could be the type specimen of a Lemmy comment

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds like someone needs a meat pumpkin!

Take a break from social media.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Does Lemmy count as social media?

I have now deleted my accounts, but there was at least one time that I was browsing reddit and got really bored, so I opened a new tab to check out reddit.

I looked at the front page posts and was like, "Oh yeah."

[–] Francislewwis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That scrolling the same apps loop is way more relatable than most people want to admit.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

The 4 apps I jump between:

Connect, Voyager, Raccoon, and Summit.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Instructions unclear. Now have salmonella.
