Hobbies: They're great.
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...
You may have chosen the wrong one.
This hobby would be significantly better if it came with a six-figure salary
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's called a "job".
You'd think yeah :P
Ever thought about shitcanning all of that and just folding some paper cranes?
I'm in too deep. Save yourself!
If the cogs didn't break occasionally, I feel like it wouldn't be a very good hobby.
Yeah, though anxiety and self-perfection make every task dreadful and stressful when anyone else is impacted; doesn't matter if it's the family vaultwarden instance or a game server needing an update to become available again, all of it is AHHHHHHHH

What services?
I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have...
NAS:
ThinkServer - Proxmox:
VPS:
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 I have brought in over the last few years.
You misunderstood, this wasn't an analogy. The secret to enrichment is literally putting raw hamburger in a pumpkin and rolling it around your home.
Y'all have money left for hobbies?
Well. There's always humming, I suppose.
Y'all have time left for hobbies?
Yeah I have a 4-day work week. Not with full pay of course, just 80% as well.
one of my hobbies is reading. Yarrrrr... it's free :)
Yeah, we all know about the library already.
What if they're stealing the reading? What if they go to the local bookstore, read for a while, and then put the book back on the shelf and leave? We have no idea what kind of a criminal we could be dealing with here.
