Every hobby starts with curiosity and ends with storage problems.

@vinterkarusell in the electric guitar community, this is known as GAS: gear acquisition syndrome.

@vinterkarusell

That's not my experience. Here in the US, storage problems on account of hobbies are routinely abated by parking one's car(s) outside the garage, renting storage lockers, putting a shed or three in the back yard, acquiring additional houses, helping your kids get a job and buying them a house, etc. The hobby ends when the house gets foreclosed, the family places the hobbyist into a geriatric care facility, or with the most poignant realization of the ashes-to-ashes cycle -- the reading of a will in which the former hobbyist thoughtfully explains to the disappointed heirs how they are supposed to divide up all the esoteric debris that no one wants.

@ciourte @vinterkarusell I have folded cute boxes for my patterned papers, but I needed a new paper size for the boxes and, naturally, I needed a box for these new papers, and… anyway, aren't they cute?

I do not agree. I do archery: Use the same bow for 30+ years, and all fits in one bag.

It's actually fun. Shoot bare bow. Just me, the bow and the arrows.

If I don't hit the target, it's because of me .. or the wind. Usually the later

@vinterkarusell totally relateable

@vinterkarusell send help, and SSDs.

@vinterkarusell 1000 boost means something.

@vinterkarusell
My hobby is my old large farmhouse with lots of storage space ... and funnily enough I still have storage problems ^^

@Tubemeister @cavyherd @vinterkarusell

just over a year ago; not something i need often

[tubemeister@mstdn.social]

@sirwumpus @cavyherd @vinterkarusell Things have gotten a bit expensive lately. 2x 1TB WD Red SSD was 400 euro in april.

[stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de]

@vinterkarusell Works for analog hobbies as well kinda. My sewing stuff is taking up more and more room

[sirwumpus@tilde.zone]

@Tubemeister @cavyherd @vinterkarusell

Wow. That is way more expensive since I bought one.

@vinterkarusell I feel attacked but I cannot controvert the statement.

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@vinterkarusell wow, is this the most viral comment on the fediverse? Never seen such high numbers before... struck a chord apparently!

[vinterkarusell@saga.garden]

@eobet you guys have crashed my one user instance!

[vinterkarusell@saga.garden]

@iamdtms in my case, the meaning is server problems.

[jonesmurphy@mastodon.social]

@vinterkarusell that's not so true of chess, which I recommend as a hobby. For older people, it even noticeably slows brain aging.

[foobarblubb@ohai.social]

@vinterkarusell @iamdtms going a full circle: I hope (parts of the) server problems are storage-related?

[iamdtms@mas.to]

@foobarblubb @vinterkarusell
Big circle could be: architectural and data problem. VRAM, RAM also, but HDD, SSD most likely. No much more option avaliable.

[vinterkarusell@saga.garden]

@foobarblubb @iamdtms kind of, limited bandwidth or it will get costly. Well, at least it's not a permanent problem for now.
