Computers! After ~15 years as a professional software developer, I have gotten so burnt out, but this week I had so much fun coding for myself. I made a website: sloptrough.art, its not much but it's very gratifying to have hosted it on my own hardware with raw html & JavaScript. I'm using proxmox, a hypervisor, to run OpenBSD which is running apache server. As OSs go, OpenBSD is paradoxically complex and unintuitive (command-line first, by enthusiasts for enthusiasts) yet also user-friendly and approachable (there are breadcrumbs down a path of well-written manual pages; I haven't had to google at all).
Also, woodworking: i turned a pallet into garden storage to help clean up the patio
I did a rewrite of my personal website either earlier this year or last year, and it was so addicting! I couldn't stop working on it.
I daily drove OpenBSD for a bit and it was amazing :3 Am on Gentoo now tho :3
Yeah, I describe OpenBSD as very easy... for those already who are already quite familiar with Unix.
Very nice for setting up quick servers.
