My hosting costs are ~$500 a month. I get about $118 a month from Patreon subs. I also get $200 a month from a single advertiser. Still need to pay ~$200 a month out of pocket.

Ads suck, sure, but shit's expensive for hobbyists.

I've made some DIY smart home devices with some ESP32s, I know how much premade stuff can be overpriced for sure. I still want to make a TOF sensor for my water filter salt tank

We've gotten too used to the price of tech being so low because we're almost always the product. The Meta VR headsets, Alexa, Google Home, anything where data from us can be harvested, they'll gladly subsidize to help get it into our homes.

I'm really hoping the HA voice stuff keeps getting better and better, we need it if we're ever going to get people away from these data harvesting "assistants"

Small dick energy

I'm pretty far left, but I wouldn't say "liberal", more like "this hexbear place seems pretty good"

As a lemmy.ml account holder... I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm not tied to any single instance and can move to a new one (any recommendations?), but what does ml do that's bad? Honest question, promise, I don't follow this stuff very much

Spirit isn't that bad, as long as you know what you're getting into. Frontier, on the other hand...

Pretty ballsy for a European-American

I've gotten updates for games like Ghost of Tsushima, depends on who it's released by
