For me, probably insects. I've been fascinated by insects when I was little, and honestly I feel like I've been getting back into it recently. I started keeping a mealworm colony recently so that I wouldn't need to buy mealworms for my frog (it was really more of a practical decision than an interest in having a colony, but mealworms are pretty cool nonetheless)

I've been considering getting a mantis and/or some rhinoceros beetles, but I'm not really sure where I would be able to get the materials required to set up terrarium for them

I love troubleshooting, even though I complain a lot about it, I still do it.

That doesn't mean that I use systems that require high maintenance like Arch Linux, but openSUSE doesn't have the same support as other known Linux distributions, so I sometimes have to adapt to the options I have, like using containers or compiling for my system.

I also like to provide support for people and help family/friends with whatever they need, tech-related or not.

It may sound silly, but a lot of family (whom I try to avoid) always tell me to charge for the things I do, but I like to help and even donate a lot of things when I can. I also have been trying to give back to the FOSS community. To me it's like a hobby, and money isn't everything.

I like fleshlights. I have quite a collection of them.
