We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

My hobby right now is making a completely local fitness watch without any screen or distractions. Just logs heart rate, spo2, activity, and sleep using actual Bluetooth standard profiles (HRP, POP, PAMP, etc... Instead of proprietary hacked together custom profiles of most watches). No GPS either because if I want that, I will just bring my phone. Maybe an extension of my job though since I design medical device electronics for work. The only feedback is an LED and good LRA haptics (hopefully). I hope to make it compatible either with whoop replacement straps or standard watch bands.

Bit of a serial hobbyist:

  • gardening
  • cooking and making new recipes
  • weight lifting
  • running (need to get back into it)
  • implementing a smart home
  • growing mushrooms
  • baking bread
  • making cheese (stopped because Belgium has almost no non-ultrapasteurized milk anymore)
  • designing flight sticks for space simulators
  • running a home server
