Does relearning how to read sheet music and basic chord shapes on the guitar every other year count? One day I’ll figure it out.
My homelab is probably the longest running, but it runs things that I depend on, so I can’t say it’s much of a side project.
Probably Tesseract since I absolutely figured my interest would have fizzled out long ago.
Definitely my homelab as well. What started as a single AMD freenas server 10 years ago has spawned into a full rack in the past few months that I will soon be operating my business from, as well as personal self hosting.
Nice! I run a few things for local businesses out of my lab, but they’re mostly charity to keep them from setting up on Facebook lol.
That’s some noble work haha
I maintain a handful of RimWorld mods, going on about 6 years now. They’re in a pretty stable and mature place so they don’t take too up much effort, but I do check for Steam commens a few times a day, to make sure nobody found any bugs or major issues.
Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).
I’ve only been around since the alpha 17 days, but I have to agree, it’s such an amazing community to be a part of!
What RimWorld mods have you produced? Links plz!
I’m not sure I could say I’m the sole producer, most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I think I’m most known for Camping Stuff and Snowy Trees, since those are the mods that I started with, but I’ve since adopted a few more, but if you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub

A very simple river of news style RSS reader desktop frontend for TinyTinyRSS
The .gitignore file there has been created 10 years ago and I am still using it, but only seldom update it, but still.
I’ve been working on a game reminiscent of Streets of Rage and Paper Mario. A beat-me-up RPG in Unity but I haven’t worked on It in a while due to work and burnout.
My YouTube channel. Been at it for 10 years, haven’t even broken through the 100,000 subscribers ceiling yet. But it’s fun, so I keep doing it.
I’ll bite, what do you youtube about?
I don’t have side projects because it’s hard enough to simply get up for work 5 days a week.
This project technically started in 2009, as part of another project called Dandelion (which then was renamed to Pines), then around 2014 I pulled it out into its own project, Nymph. I worked on it on and off, until 2021, when I rewrote it for Node.js as Nymph.js.
It now runs my email service, https://port87.com/
Here’s the oldest code I can find on GitHub from July 7, 2009:
And here’s the first version as its own project from Sep 8, 2014:

Myself, and god is it a mess of a project
I’ve been trying to make a lego golf playing automaton for about three years, and I keep running into issues with the system that brings balls up from inside of the model to the surface, and keep having to completely redesign the mechanism. I’m now starting on my fourth redesign.
I'm getting my ass kicked by trying to recreate a pop tube kids toy using 3d printing so that I can use the bistable mechanism elsewhere in headphones pads. I could probably do it in a horizontal orientation, but I want vertical, and everything turns into a spring so far, so I feel ya ATM. Those little details are such a pain. I'm on FreeCAD file 2, body 7, and just swapped my typical 0.6mm nozzle for a 0.25mm... We're gettin serious now!
Fiction writing. I started when I was very young, it’s by far my most long-runbing hobby.
You should join one of the writing communities on Lemmy and post one of your stories. What do you have to lose?
My bedroom electronics maker lab setup probably qualifies. I’ve rewired LED’s and added some printed wire guides for my laptop stand’s Ethernet cable. I also hung my SMD parts bins, and built shelves for my DMM and scope. I started that around 6 months after I was disabled, so 10 years ago.
My kids. It’s been more than 26 years.
Mostly just bugfixes and maintenance now.
I’ve been composing an orchestra piece for slightly over two years now. I’m kind of learning how to do that as I go along, having only really written songs for up to three instruments beforehand.
Classic luxury car restore for about a decade.
How goes it?
One complete rear spring is off for about 6 months.
Everything is expensive and hard to work on. Lots of parts are unobtainable.
