Yeah thats what you say to youreelf at 5 am when the birds are chirping and the sun is coming out. "Its fine ill just sleep for a couple hours and get up, and then I'll get an early night tonight to make up for it".
thanks for the eBay recommendation. unfortunately my financial anxiety is much much much more easily triggered than that. I'm working in myself for now.
i do plan to start using docker if i ever get started on projects again.
The best part of having a homelab/home server is the reproducible dopamine hits. First you'll get some dopamine just getting the thing up and running, but then each service I decide to tackle and implement gives me a whole new hit of dopamine. Most services you can get up in a day or two of tinkering/learning even as a system noob like me. On top of that, if you don't manage to get it working, it's pretty easy to scrap the attempt and try something easier.
Then you also get dopamine hits whenever something breaks and you manage to fix it. 10/10 would recommend.
Ok great! I guess I didn't know the definition was so broad, I'm definitely already toying with Plex, and I had plans for setting up a RAID and a backup schedule so I can safely run immich. A matrix server was on my list too.
I don't just forget the to-do list. I remember it 3 days in, remember what's on it, and get so stressed about it I decide that I can just not look at it and it will probably be fine.
I had plans this weekend, I started my laundry then youtube put me in the woodworking rabbit hole. Then I got sad because I remembered that probably won't ever have the means to own a workshop and watch this shit is pointless. Then I started thinking about how I'm busting my ass at work just to tread water. Then i started drinking and watching cartoons. Laundry did not get finished.
All of these are cheap or free with tools one probably already has. You can take decent pics with a phone, you already have pencils, paper, and pens, and programming can be learned for free online (assuming you have a laptop or PC to work with it on)
travel then frantically try to get as much family time as possible
holy shit i actually get to stay home this weekend!? better catch up on all the chores i don't do since i work so many weekends! [proceeds to not leave bed all weekend]
"I'm going to have an early night" and other lies you can tell yourself

Reading this comment at 5 AM and having the exact same thought train haha
May I interest you in the rabbit hole that is NixOS? Gotta get that perfect reproducible Infrastructure As Code-Config!
i wish i could get my home lab efforts (re)started. the memory of corrupted sd cards and pi hole config mistakes is debilitating...
not to mention financial anxiety about possibly needing replacement components regularly....

What's your elevator pitch for homelab?

Awesome! Yeah I've tinkered with some server stuff and it's definitely fun when it works haha

Thanks for the other ideas!
Yeah I've looked into jellyfin, it just isn't as convenient yet.
If that improves, or if Plex gets nuked, I'll make the switch 🤷♂️
I prefer open source where I can 👍
I wish my OCD affected me actually finishing things

Seventh hobby? Amateurs, it's almost May...
Are you in my house?
I'm under your bed now! You really should clean under here btw
Well since you’re already there I’ll just hand you the swiffer….
(I’d post a pic but it is actually kinda dusty under there.)
It's 3:42, thank you very much.
This reminds me, I need to call my doctor to see about getting a diagnosis.
Guess it won't get done

Okay so what are your new hobbies?
For some reason I want to get into skateboarding again and also started learning guitar
Guitar is cool, you can do it almost any time too 👍🏼 skateboarding is kind of accident prone, if you heal fast then go for it 😅
Yeah, the main thing is weating a helmet, but also I can get bored quicklu from that. guitar is really cool but my fingers hurt a lot
I'd say kneepads & gloves with that extra protection for when you ram your hand down onto the asphalt.
Guess who spent 8 hours setting up ipv6 for giggles
FFS are you spying on me? Why is this picture about me?
This feels like "rich people weekend with ADHD"
There's a lot of hobbies you can start your free
Trust me, I've got a lot of free dead hobbies under my belt
That's wonderful! But my comment was specifically about the meme, not about you.
I’m going to learn how to:
Program with a basic language
Sketch a still life
Draw Celtic knotwork
Run for my health
Do photography with my phone camera
Etc.
All of these are cheap or free with tools one probably already has. You can take decent pics with a phone, you already have pencils, paper, and pens, and programming can be learned for free online (assuming you have a laptop or PC to work with it on)

Nope. I am not rich at all and this is my weekend.
