As much as I love the projects I’m able to make with my Cricut, I know I won’t be getting another one when it eventually dies. Cricut’s software and approach to the customers is so awful.
Wish I’d heard about Silhouette before getting my machine but I’ve definitely learned my lesson now.
I work in emergency management but I’ve always been interested in tech as a hobby. That led me to start self-hosting Plex on my desktop about 6-7 years ago. Now I’ve got a dedicated machine running unraid with about 20 to 30 different docker services.
I really enjoy being able to figure out how to setup a service and then being able to be fully in control of how it works. Beyond just enjoying tinkering with the system to learn, I enjoy being able to troubleshoot and fix problems without relying on large companies.
