I recently started learning hand tool woodworking and won’t shut up about it haha. I found a few books and channels that are helpful and feel real. The more I do it, the more it’s apparent to me that many things around me are just distractions. It’s really nice to unplug from everything and make some things or practice using/sharpening my tools. Those little moments when something clicks feel weirdly fulfilling.

What do you all enjoy doing? Have you found any new passions? What do you like about it?

I'm in a weird transition phase right now because I deprecated my big boi server when I moved into my new studio. I have a dumb Lenovo NAS with a mini pc that acts as the "brains" of the setup. (I actually need to do a reinstall of my OS because I've been having issues with my Debian setup.) This serves my Jellyfin instance and handles the brunt of my data hoarding activities. I also run a Nextcloud instance, but that's currently running on my cloud seed box while I wait to build a new home server.

My biggest goal for this year is to get my new server built. It's going to be the do-everything server for me. On top of NAS functionality, I also want it to serve a KobaldCPP instance. The biggest challenge there is going to be hardware selection, particularly trying to find a graphics card that has ludicrous amounts of VRAM without bankrupting myself in the process. I was considering doing some home networking stuff, but I really don't need anything more than my ISP's router for what I'm doing right now, and I'm pretty space-constrained since I live in a studio. We'll see, though!
