I'm currently running a job board without ads or any ways to make revenue. I see this as a way to learn things - adding one layer of complexity at a time to see how far I can push it and learn things. I have noticed that I like to learn things by doing so that's the goal. Not exactly a monetary thing but rather investing in myself. Right now, I'm looking at splitting the server to host at multiple locations so I can…

Wouldn’t adding your domain to cloudflare help with reducing latency?

#33I get 30-60$ a month RN with 5k subscribers.
It's not enough but I have some money saved up and can still mooch off my parents insurance so I have that going for me.

#37I'm fascinated by the hidden connections in our language—like "galaxy" being connected to "galactose" because of the Milky Way.
I used NLP to convert written etymology paragraphs from wiktionary into a database of words and connections.
Also interesting are the Proto-Indo-European roots, like "h₂enh₁", which is a 10k-year-old reconstructed word meaning "breath", that has about 1k modern day descendants ranging from "animate" and "unanimous" to "anemone".

#39My side hustle (40h/week in theory, 5h/week in practice): junior software engineer for another company.
I have around 8 years of professional experience... so while working as a junior in my side hustle I don’t need that much time to finish my tasks (hence the 5h/week). Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to write code like a junior. I usually quit after a year because companies expect progress and more associated responsibilities (i don’t need that in my side hustle, i have that already on my main job). Funny thing is: I make like 95K/year in my main job and 50K/year in my side hustle... but the proportions don’t hold when it comes to time spent in each role.
