Self-hosting and shell scripting from a minimalist perspective. I’ve combined them into a single hobby too so now it looks more like self-hosting on low power consuming devices.

It all started with the idea of self-hosting a social media instance but then I found a minimalist linux operating system. Through that I found out how much I enjoy creating my own scripts/script tools while using as few packages as possible.

I don’t really host much myself other than a simple file server and a blog page but I’m working towards writing a guide to help others understand and safely set up their own minimal, low powered, low spec, self-hosted content.

Although my vision and end goal isn’t content for the whole wide world. I want people to be able to share in a more local way. With community, friends and family. That way we can begin to cut off our dependency on big tech companies.

It’s a bit obscure. Have you ever heard of bread?

Going through something right now, but wishing I could stay focused… I keep shrinking back, being reminded that it’s worthless, it takes too long, or it’s too expensive.

Locksport was a good one for me. For the uninitiated, it’s a hobby built around picking, gutting and reassembling locks.

Lately? Signals engineering, specifically filter design. Okay, I’m not sure I could rightfully call that a hyper-fixation - it was/is part of a broader project that required a lot of other things too.

Currently I’m trying to make a donut recipe that’s soft/fluffy and tasty AF. Can’t get fresh Krispy Kreme in my rural area, so I gotta make my own, but better!

Handheld gaming consoles, the cheap kind they advertise on click-bait. They’re just wee computers, and there’s some good custom software you can slap on them to make your own lil PSP or DS emulator.

And since they’re quite inexpensive you can dick around with the electronic side without losing much. Some are as low as $30. Definitely recommended!
