If you can't bike for 30 minutes you would really benefitting from getting some exercise. Biking to and from work would probably do wonders both for your physical and mental health.

Better it being holy and treated with respect than however it's being used in our culture today.
I have been doing a lot of vacationing "at home" this year and it's been a blast. Helps that it's been the warmest summer in recorded history (as long as I don't think about it too hard).
Going abroad and discover other cultures and climates is great and all, but it's so easy to miss how great it can be close to home or just a few hours by train.

Sums up his whole life, no?
If they're anything like my they're just gonna fill it anyway and have an even bigger problem. I actually got a smaller cup to make the problem smaller.
I pay flat power bill so I don't really know about the electricity costs. I also live a cold place so for most of the year I need to heat my apartment anyway so I don't really know.
Apart from patching the Ubuntu VMs that run Nextcloud, Jellyfin and my Nginx proxy I haven't had any upkeep on the services themselves after I got them setup, and even then I have automatic security updates on so I only really need to log in and run a feature update and reboot every few months.
Whenever I buy a new album I download it and put the files in their own folder in Nextcloud and everything syncs in a few minutes. I have set up an external folder in Nextcloud for my music that is readable by Jellyfin so everything just works for now, but I've only had this setup for a few months to be fair.
Bandcamp and Qobuz are just apps for me and I download all the music I buy in the apps on my phone and it's virtually no upkeep for those. The only annoying thing is that I can't buy music in the Qobuz app, only on the web site. I assume this is because they refuse to pay the Google tax.
You might have to look into a Wireguard/VPN setup as well if you need that for remoting into home hosting, but I can't really help with that. I got a kinda special deal in regards of hosting.
I use a combination of Bandcamp, Qobuz and Jellyfin atm. It gives me the combination of using their apps or my own self hosted. The chances of everything going down at the same time is pretty slim I figured.
I also have all my purchased music stored in a Nextcloud instance so in a pinch I can play the local flac/mp3 files from my computer.
I have sooo much great weird music I got for free or 50 cents per album.
Well yes, probably. But, if you buy on Bandcamp or sites like it you can download the songs and host and store them yourself so it's not like you have to start over when they eventually get shit.
In Norwegian we'll sometimes write burn as børn in very informal settings or for fun so that's my go to example :-)
I like to get a little intoxicated and find the different headspaces the drugs provides to be very relaxing and fun. That said, I get a really good calming buzz from a cup of coffee and some particular candy (vespebol) these days.
I used to drink a lot, mostly because it was fun and relaxing to start, then it became habitual. I drink way less now, I like the buzz and mindset I get from a few beers, but I no longer need the escape that drunkenness provides and I've grown to really dislike it. Stopped drinking for a little while, then eased back into it and experimented with it for a few years. I found that for me the cost of drinking increases exponentially per unit and the benefits flattens and become costs after a few units now.
I only have tobacco when someone has rolled a joint with it. Had my first while cigarette at 29, I got a really good nicotine shock from it, which I loved, but my lungs hurt for days afterwards so I'm staying away from tobacco, never tried snus either even though it's pretty huge around here.
Don't really smoke much weed either, but I'll have a puff if someone is offering. I like the buz and calmness it brings.
