Sounds like a good life to be honest. I’m probably just romanticizing the days I was a little too young to remember, but I wish I were one of those self-taught programmers, hackers, tinkerers. Everything’s opaque and user-friendly and/or optimized to the point of illegibility now.
We used to have an Orinoco basin themed tank, Corydoras Delphax, Otto’s, Cardinal tetras, Farlowella acus (twig catfish) and a couple of huge Altum Angelfish.
We had some luck with the Cory’s but just like you the Otto’s proved stubborn.
I left reddit for all the obvious reasons but yeah… Lemmy is significantly lacking in the niche community engagement. Reddit was great for that and getting a REAL answer to something you were googling.
Aquariums, miniature painting, hell even on LemmyNSFW 90% of the posts are all posted by the same three bots that somehow always end up on the “Everything - Top/Active” page.
Jailbroke iPhones for $20 a pop in highschool. Blew it all on fireworks.
Flipped broken consoles before the market got too saturated to profit. Blew it all on video games.
Currently breeding fish. Blowing it all on more fish.
I’m bad at saving money.

You still can fix your fridge, stove, washing machine when it breaks down with a web search and some patience !
But cars seems to be quite out of reach for anything except the most simple.
Personally I have not had my own appliances like those, but I’ll keep that in mind for when I get my own place and my own appliances to fix :)
Good luck finding your place!
Ooh, what kind of fish? I used to be deep in the world of aquarium fish before life had its way with me.
Corydoras catfish, mostly. Trying for otos but haven’t had much luck yet.
Ahh man I love me some Cory’s.

That sounds like a fun tank! I wish the fishkeeping communities were more active here.
