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

Y'all have money left for hobbies?
Well. There's always humming, I suppose.
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.
Everything that's on your phone has an algorithm. It's like saying I don't eat things with chemicals in it.

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?
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?
Ah force of habit. I just came from a conference and I had to explain Zulip a dozen times to people.
Mentioning his wife was the brag part.
Me and his wife use signal
Try eating your keeper.
I mean, it would make for an interesting day.
Please keep your dirty hamburgers away from my virgin pumpkin

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.
"I angrily reject this joke in a politically awakened manner."
This could be the type specimen of a Lemmy comment
Sounds like someone needs a meat pumpkin!
I'm with you. There's a word for this. It's called zoochosis, a play on psychosis. The animals in zoos play with their faeces, eat their faeces, pace, sway etc, because they're BORED FUCKING SHITLESS. A tiger, like all animals, do not deserve to be locked up in prison and gawked at by idiots with cameras for the crime of being born the wrong species. They're smart, emotional, deep animals. They are emotionally intelligent. They have feelings. Fuck zoos so fucking hard.
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."
That scrolling the same apps loop is way more relatable than most people want to admit.
Take a break from social media.
Does Lemmy count as social media?
I think so, yes.
I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with "forums", slightly later also "wikis" and "blogs"… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term "social media" to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔
