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.
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
I run basically all my stuff through docker containers, and have…
NAS:
BentoPDF
Clam-Shell (discord bot using clamav)
FreshRSS
Haven (discord alternative)
Kitchen Owl
Linkwarden
LubeLogger
MeshCentral (for me to admin systems)
Nametag (relationship organizer and visual map)
Owncast (streaming, for myself)
Plex
Radicale
Red (discord multifunction bot)
RustDesk
Snipe-IT
Uptime Kuma
Vaultwarden
Wallos (subscription manager)
YourLastFM (for myself)
ThinkServer - Proxmox:
Debian 13, running BOINC
Home Assistant
Windows Server 2022, running Motor Town dedi
VPS:
American Truck Simulator dedi
BeamMP dedi x7
Duplicati (for backups)
FiveM dedi
Minecraft Bedrock dedi
Wireguard
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.

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
i wish we had those in good quality still
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.

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.
