  • Oh man.

    My comment was intended to imply that the term "hacking" defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.

    Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.

    Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

  • Is this a reference to Roman auxiliaries?

    Not sure if I'm remembering this correctly but I think they never allowed auxiliaries to be posted in their home region because it would inevitably enable armed rebellion.

  • If only there were some way that the people could kind of ha e their say and direct lawmakers th address some of these problems. The people need to choose some kind of representative that propose and pursue these changes. Imagine if you could just kind of "poll" the will of the people and add up everyone's choices to choose a representative.

  • Not really. Nextcloud does this. They call it a "file drop".

    Like you create a share link for a folder, and then specify that users of that link can't see any files, only upload.

    Edit: looking at the docs this one seems quite good. Thanks!

  • I was more or less exclusively lemmy for a good year or so, up until several months ago.

    I would've logged into reddit maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.

    Sadly, I have to admit that browsing reddit with redlib or something is better than lemmy.

    Lemmys main virtue is that its not reddit.

    There's less content here, and it really is an echo chamber.

  • I'm a tax consultant, so I see a lot of people's side hustles.

    As other's here have said, once you monetise a hobby it's not a fun hobby anymore... just another responsibility.

    Take the beads thing for example. Carving some beads to make some cool jewellery sounds like a great hobby, and you could make some really amazing unique gifts for family. However, if you want to make money from it then you need to compete with other etsy vendors - you'll very quickly find the pieces that sell and then it becomes a question of how many of those pieces you can turn out per hour or per day.

    Economically, making money requires time, or skill, or capital. The most appropriate will be a mix of all three that fits your circumstances. As a "side hustle" you kinda want a little of each rather than a lot of each. Good examples might be:

    • window cleaning - for businesses or residences
    • gutter cleaning - get one of those telescopic pole thingies with a camera so you don't actually need to go on anyones roof
    • lawn mowing - just a few customers in your street

    These things aren't "hobbies" but they will be a lot more satisfying, enjoyable, and profitable than carving beads.
