That’s a convoluted answer for me. I hand sharpen knives and straight razors as a hobby. Been doing it for like 30 years and have several hundreds of dollars in diamond and wetstones. I doubt there’s 500 people in the country (US) that are better than I am at hand sharpening.
The convoluted part is that I could charge people to sharpen knives. I just don’t want to.
Cave diving. I enjoy it as it is, but it’s a huge time and money sink that has involved learning a ton of very technical skills that would be cool to be able to use for compensation
Chores, organizing, cleaning. I spent so much time working on home projects this summer and when I look around it feels like I lost time. Somehow I’ve been working consistently without getting a foothold or making progress. Still laundry in the dryer and a mess everywhere.
I’ve been building a title suggestion collector bot to replace the old one Jupiter Broadcasting used to have but lost somehow. I can’t shake the feeling that it’s just a “picture on the fridge” kind of thing where everyone sees that it’s crap and nobody wants to be the one to tell me; especially considering that it constantly crashes. I just enjoy building it and it feels good to see something I made put into production.
I consider it a ton of effort because I learned a bunch about self hosting but I would love to get paid for my Jellyfin server
My husband
Writing fan fiction and making fan videos
Cleaning, especially doing the goddamn dishes
I’ve spent some 5 hours just today documenting and writing instructions on some IT tools for my collective. One person said its cool though, so not bad.
You sir are a champion. So few of us do documentation and wonder why we have to fix the same problems over and over.
You deserve a smooch 😘
Open source software. Sigh.
I have a librry that has been downloaded 1.9 million times for a VERY specific functionality. Never gotten a red cent.
I mean its ok, its bettering the world as is, but it does suck when you get AI generated issues and GitHub has no way to deal with the spam. Ive thought about moving over to codeberg or something but theres no protection there either.
Thank you for your service 😘
I’m pretty far in the negative on my company. I’ve invested about $50,000 and 4 years of work into it, and it has not become profitable. But, its operating expenses are pretty low, so I have enough to maintain it for about 4 more years. If it’s still not profitable then, I’d have to look for outside investors. The majority of the expense was lawyer fees for the patent.
Well we’re all curious now…
I’d be happy to receive a portion of the money my Started Valley farm makes.
My farmer, [74][279][337], emphatically agrees with this statement!
I see what you did there.
Living.
Maybe some of the music I produce, but then again, i do enjoy not having the demands of a huge fanbase or other public presure to create. So, theres pros and cons
I got a handful of houseplants that I’ve kept alive for years (one close to a decade) and I’m not sure its really done anything for me.
