    You suck all the dopamine out of something and move on leaving the drained husk of your former hobby behind. Hopefully the dopamine runs out before you put money into it.

    I swear as soon as I put money into a hobby, I lose interest. I got a guitar I can’t play, a hackRF I can’t be bothered to relearn, a box of half built eletronics, an unknown amount of Raspberry Pis and Arduinos with no purpose…

      Yeah I got into lockpicking a few years ago, figured out how to pick all the random master locks i had lying around the house, and immediately after spending like 250 dollars on some specialty, hard-to-pick locks, I lost interest. Still keep my lockpicking set in my car in case anyone locks themselves out of the house or something, but the dopamine i got from picking those first few locks is gone. On to the next thing.

      But I got so much Warhammer that needs painting! I have to like it or Shame Mountain won’t erode.

      yunohost is good at being set and forget for RPis that sit unused. I still haven’t got around to setting up paperless-ngx but I’ve done the rest and it is useful…

      Now don’t ask me how long it’s been since I said I’d set up a NAS

        as a linux enthusiast and server hosting nerd myself. I bought like 400 dollars of hardware, installed fedora on it, immediately proceeded to not like fedora very much. And then it sat for about six months. On a whim i heard about debian 12 releasing, which had a new enough kernel for proper QSV support on modern intel and i immediately set it up in about a week or two, now using containers and relatively well organized file structures.
