    Maybe this isn’t a hobby but just hanging out. Video games, movies, road trips, or any type of activity without it being a big deal. No agenda or expectations. Just being social. I miss that from my younger years. Now everyone is busy, tired, and getting together takes a lot of prep.

      Basically being single, and 18 to 25 years old, about 20 years ago. I remember those days.

      Once a year, my friends from high school and I go up to a cabin and do just that. Play games (board and video), D&d, watch movies etc. Now that we’re older we also throw some nice cuts of meat onto the smoker and eat fancier. But the nice part is being isolated from our responsibilities. We’ve been doing now for 25 years.

        I’m currently making an Astro theme to make static sites way easier and then after that I’m probably going back to working on the API viewer I was making with Svelte, Tauri, and Rust. (Think of something like Postman but way less bloated.) I mainly just need to finish the settings and redo the data input form and then it should be ready for a first release (but it’ll still obviously be far from finished.)

          Oh sick. Ive been throwing around the idea of making an saas app that can be configured to make api calls and modify the response in some user configured sorta way.

          I’ve had two jobs where I was constantly calling into multiple web apis that returned inconsistent and often malformed json and xml. So I have to try my best to sanitize the responses before ingesting the data into the system.

          So the idea of the project would be that it could make the api calls for you, modify the response using a configuration, and send it back hopefully fixed up. Then you could add alerts if you get an unexpected response, save responses as test cases, potentially you could use ai to translate responses for you, etc.

          I just have to start it lol.

    Learning how to get better at critical thinking.

    I study rhetoric and argumentation for fun. Rhetoric is for understanding how people persuade me, argumentation is for understanding the tactics they use to achieve that goal. I’ve developed a certain style of rhetoric and argumentation that I like a lot. Essentially, I think people should learn to identify their own assumptions and make them explicit. Far fewer misunderstandings would happen if people know wtf they themselves were saying.

    Reading math books, Linux, Lemmy, and Extreme metal. I have nothing to talk about with people IRL other than the fucking weather (that I actually want to talk about).

    Guess i’m the first to say it, sewing. Not necessarily making things from scratch but just fixing what you got and adding features. Fairly affordable hobby, easy to get into and plenty of tutorials.

    This is going to seem odd because a lot of people are surface level into it but if you actually get into it you’ll see it’s very difficult and most people will tell you that you’re wrong. This hobby is game design. It’s incredibly hard but everyone thinks they are a master at it. The moment you start building something you see that all of your designs are very basic.

      Protects one of your fundamental rights, or nearly all of them if you think about it, as well.

      Getting certified is super easy in many places and there are many hobbies within, such as electronics, building antennas, etc.

    • poetry

      This hobby has to be the cheapest of all. Go to the park with a pen and paper, bonus points if you leave your phone at home, and let your mind wander :)
