It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like? (lemmy.ml)

I posted something similar before, but it did not gain too much traction, possibly due to time zones.

It would be cool to see a Lemmy online pen pal/chat pal thread. Tell us about yourself and your hobbies in comments! I’m a person in their 20s who likes world football, theoretical maths and physics, and FOSS stuff. I also like the outdoors and would love to share about outdoor adventures. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to talk!

This seems fun! Here's me:

I'm 27, I'm a giant woodworking nerd who also loves video games and hobby electrical engineering. I was lucky enough to turn my passion into a career, where I have a unique job - I program and operate our rather old large format 5'*10' CNC router, and also do all the hand-cut joinery for the pieces that get ordered that require it. I can talk about CNC routing and woodworking in general for ages. I also love the concept of creating my own electronic and have dabbled a bit with raspberry Pi's, arduinos, ESP32's and various sensor gizmos and gadgets. I'd love to use my CNC and hobby electrical knowledge to create my own "cyberdeck" one of these days, and have a large horde of parts for a custom arcade cabinet I've been planning to build. Don't wanna write too much so I'll stop here - if you've got similar interests I think it could be fun to chat!
