It feels like everything that exists these days is to drain money from me. Tourism is out of control. I don’t even want to travel anymore. Video games, kids sports, eating out… It’s all overly expensive just because they can.
It’s frustrating.

Over the last few years I’ve been slowly moving to cheaper/free hobbies, I think part of the reason I’m enjoying them is because they’re free, like I can go for a run for nothing apart from some shoes. I like that there’s no real upkeep and if my local gym shuts down or whatever I can still just go for a run.
The same thing goes for software, I’ve started caring more about open source software recently, not just because of the privacy benefits but because it’s free! And again with independence, if a paid service shuts down I can’t use that software anymore, with open source, you have the code, you can just download it and you’ve got it, forever.
I’ve been doing that with FOSS stuff too. Jellyfin has been good to me.
