I like to wonder around the forest singing.
That and rock climbing but like traditional and aid climbing in the alpine. Most people lose interest when I start talking about various knots and their attributes in different situations.

I love troubleshooting, even though I complain a lot about it, I still do it.
That doesn't mean that I use systems that require high maintenance like Arch Linux, but openSUSE doesn't have the same support as other known Linux distributions, so I sometimes have to adapt to the options I have, like using containers or compiling for my system.
I also like to provide support for people and help family/friends with whatever they need, tech-related or not.
It may sound silly, but a lot of family (whom I try to avoid) always tell me to charge for the things I do, but I like to help and even donate a lot of things when I can. I also have been trying to give back to the FOSS community. To me it's like a hobby, and money isn't everything.
Playing terminal.
I collect and know a lot about weed vaporizers. Weed is still not legal where I live and other users, who even also use vaporizers, are happy with their device and don't wanna know about the benefits of my other dozens
Diecast collecting and diecast photography. That and building excel sheet forms to auto-math things I need for infrequent tasks.
I always thought "high altitude ballooning" would be a cool ass hobby.. but living in PA.. would make it difficult to track down payloads once back to earth ๐
Yeah I'm going to need to know more about your hobby.
I've done research on ciphers and cryptography a little bit, so based on my understanding I made up some operations you can do on paper (not needing a computer) to transform text into something seemingly random, but also it has to be reversible with a key. I try to make it so that it doesn't fall into the common traps that some older ciphers fell into like double letters are the same like with simple substitution ciphers. Also I wanted it to be reusable unlike with a one-time pad, in my case I like when the key is hidden in the encrypted message.
I haven't found anyone to test out any ciphers yet, but I also haven't looked too hard. I'm sure some people enjoy deciphering for fun (I don't have the smarts or at least the time for that).
