Partner bought me a pet feeder with built in webcam. Worked great for three years until the servers went down. First and last time I trusted any internet connected appliance .

Yeah, there’s a few. Habitica comes to mind, but the generic term for this is “gamification”.

My first thougt is Rutger Hauer. Rarely in anything spectacular, but always delivers. Just a good solid back catalogue of surprisingly decent performances in otherwise B-movies.

I mean there is peertube for video content. I know my instance runs aNONradio which is pretty eclectic music and talk radio, but there are probably other similar streams. There’s quite a few services for CC licensed music. Personally I listen to a lot of actual play RPG podcasts, which are probably right on the border of hobbyist / side hustle stuff. More indie and low budget than say, critical role or the like, but still partially monetised, even if only to cover costs.

Depends what you mean by “non-commercial” and “stuff”. Does community-supported via Patreon count? Are you after music, video, fiction writing, non-fiction, comics…

With a little fucking around I’m fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.

Core 2 Duo.

Uhh… Did nobody check with Intel about this?

Pretty sure if you self host your own ghost install it’s already available.

Wonder how long we’ll have to wait for the PC port.
