I'm 43. I feel you. Lately I started processing what happened to me because of ADD. I'm lucky, fell on my feet and have a good life but I've lost so much time and was misunderstood for so long.

No background but I can read and listen. There are plenty of resources around.

I started out of privacy concerns and I wanted to deGoogle It started this year with a RPI and pihole. Then I saw Mealie, bought a domain, and started sharing recipes with my family.

At first I messed around with Casa OS. It's like a gateway drug. So easy to use and get stuff running.

Last week a 2nd hand i5 arrived and now I moved everything to proxmox. The RPI is still running pihole. At the moment I'm setting up Immich and I'm thinking about buying a NAS.

Since it is a new hobby I keep everything low cost. If it sticks I'll invest in a proper home server.

That's the main reason I stick with OnePlus. The notification slider is a feature the I need on every phone.

I'm still a bit confused about the instances and the political alignment of people on certain instances. I'm on Lemmy.ml but apparently people can be quite toxic on that instance.

Having to subscribe to the same subject on different instances feels a bit weird. I always wonder what I'm missing out on.

It also seems like we're missing some critical mass but I'm over Reddit, that's the bottom line.

I could go on.

Totalled my car three years ago. Never bothered buying a new one. I save a lot of money and accepting my faith when relying on public transport has given me so much mental freedom. I take the train to work and the last part of the route is by shared bikes. Love it.

It was all over the news and years ago. Should we continue talking about it?

MapComplete is more about tagging.

They can't ask for more information than what they needed to create your account.

But maybe they're seen as a bank and then they have to confirm your identity with a copy of your id.

In Europe it isn't. But I got it too. Even worse, my default browser was changed to Bing after an update.

I've got wrid of my car 3 years ago. The benefits I've encountered.

1. I save about 500 euros a month (this is a conservative calculation)
2. Commuting has become something I can't control so I've let go.
3. I ride my bicycle a lot more. It has made me healthier and I've lost about 15 kgs
4. No more searching for parking spots, paying for parking fines,...
5. The mental load of owning a car is gone. No maintenance, no insurance, no low emission zones.
6. I've become more aware about the room cars take up in our streets and our society.

On the occasions we need a car I rent one or use a car sharing service.
