  • Not at all, also most my seasonal work is for 7- 10 months, so my income downtime isn’t that high but I still take time to make money in that downtime and make sure I have some income and apply for full time jobs.

    I make something close to 35-50 job applications a month when I’m not working and last month of the season work, but barelly anyone will hire here when there isn’t a tourist season.

    On the note of feeelancing I tried, but don’t really jave the skills to do it since I mostly like to do manual work, I’m not a fun of sitting at a computer to make money.

    Mostly like this last month I have been painting the walls and assembling furniture for my grandmother that recently bought a new kitchen. Of course not for free, she wouldnt be able to bare it to not pay me for that work.








  • Used to not monitor at all, but after setting up crowdsec I got completeky into prometheus + grafana system resource and security monitiring on my dedicated hetzner server.

    I also keep uptime kuma on another cheap vps to monitor the states of websites directly for issues and I have seted up watchtower to send ntfy notifications on updates so I can know an update is the one fucking everything up.

    Recently also setup restuc backups so I made it so I also get backup health check logs as ntfy notifications on my phone, which really helps me keep everything runnig.

    What I really need to also do is create prometheus/grafana alerts for additional things to get notifications on my phone for them also ( like when crowdsec starts to randomly not get any more acqusitions, so I have to restart it. Once passed over a week before I looked at grafana and caught that ).

    Note: this is all a hoby, I also don’t host anything at home out of a couple reasons, most important being internet and hardware is expensive af here so it’s simply cheaper for me to play around with vps’s and hetzner dedicated servers.
