  • My method has always been the same, it it always works eventually.

    When my devices go against my will, I lean real close and whisper "I'm gonna fucking disconnect you and then throw you in a river" and usually after a few hours of threats I get what I want. I guess the debugging and manual reading and whatnot does help a bit, but I suspect it is mostly the fear that fixes the issues.

  • Why are you so skeptical? I could spend 40 years doing:

    • hikes
    • walks in nature
    • camping
    • volunteer work
    • going to the beach
    • reading
    • doing diy projects
    • helping others
    • learning new things
    • exploring my country
    • etc

    There is so much more to life than work and paid services.

    And yes, this is a privileged position, but that doesn't make it wrong.

  • Personally I think of it as similar to makeup, as in "you do you, why should I judge you?" But also not ignoring that it can get out of hand and cause body image issues, and can be feed by societal pressures. You shouldn't do it for the wrong reasons, but I cant be the one to say if your reasons are wrong. But unlike makeup, because it is more permanent it should only be done when in a healthy state of mind.

    Also I think it is critical to acknowledge that it can play a major role in quality of life for disfigured individuals and people with body dysphoria and possibly others

  • 65% of your spendings, addmittedly this question is mostly relevant to people that spend at least a somewhat above the median, where they can reduce their lifestyle by 35% and still live, just frugally.

    I'm not sure what you mean by significant hobbies, but personally with the exception of one, all of my hobbies are cheap/free.

  • Tip, if you have the room for it, looking for second hand servers (as in actual servers with server hardware) is often really useful.

    As you start hosting more stuff you realize that ram and cpu cores are very limited in consumer hardware. With a shitty second hand server you could have more cores and more ram than anything in the consumer category, and you can stick an old GPU on it if you want some better media performance.

    But if you truly believe that you won't spread out and that potentially 64gb ram and 8 cores will suffice, just go ahead and build it however you want. It is no different from a regular build. Get a nice ssd, get a wired ethernet connection and you are like 90% of the way there.

    Edit: everyone else is giving much better advice, ignore my overkill here. For media and simple game servers with a low energy consumption target you are probably better off with a mini pc with an integrated gpu or if you want to future proof a bit, maybe one of those unified memory ones where you ram is also the vram and can produce pretty good performance.

    You own your brain in the same sense that you own modern devices, you own it but also can't really modify it and there is some closed source shit that really control it
