I have 2 external SSDs that I rotate keeping them offline and one offsite.
I backup weekly though my most used files are synced online so is sufficient for my use case.
Edit: I use Syncthing to backup photos/videos from phones to my laptop so they’re included in the above.
I worked a factory job for several years that had nearly unrestricted internet and the ability to install programs. There’s a LOT of options here depending on your technical skill and what you’re able to get away with. One of my favs was setting up a remote connection to my home network so I could work on project there without much fuss on the work computers and was easy to just close the connection if needed.
Also games. I played a lot of games… even designed some with all the time we had.
Learning web development was my most productive though; I was able to contribute to the company and got promoted to IT which launched my career to where I am now.
This was me. At first I automated some commonly used spreadsheets and then made some simple web tools to help our team which eventually led to getting to their IT department and now I work from home full time as a developer.
Emulators, whether installed locally or played via an online version, are great too - replayed Ocarina of Time over night shift and was awesome for getting through that time
Yeah my kiddos were born when I was 15 and 17. Wife and I dated all of high school and planned to marry anyways.
At 18 I was married with 2 kids. I skipped college to focus on work and providing for my family.
That was 2002. Since then we’ve adopted 6 more and are currently fostering 2 that we hope to adopt.


I haven’t purchased yet; this is the one I’m currently considering:


I’m in a similar situation currently hosting Pihole on my Pi’s and Jellyfin on a SFF refurbished PC that’s running some other project. I’ve decided to go with a NUC, most likely beelink, and intend to install Proxmox to then run container VMs for each of the various projects to more easily manage them.

I love his work especially with Laura Brehm and this one specifically has a nice slow build without any vocals for a while which I find more pleasant to wake up to.


Disc golf
I don’t have the power or accuracy to score well nor the time to invest in improving. I do love the time walking through the woods with family and friends sharing the experience as we goof around.


+1 for Beyond All Reason :)
So far I’ve only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.


Nitroglycerin :(
Glad issues were found when they were though and am consistently getting better :)


Rules to various card games
For CLI specifically mostly managing my home lab, yt-dlp and updates
