Linux Sysadmin here.

I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I'm also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I'll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I've been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.

That reminds me of the box of half-broken Game Boys from back when I got really into chiptune ... I kinda get backpain from soldering, though, any tips on that? Other than "go see a doctor", of course.
