NetBSD
I dailied NetBSD for 5 or 6 years until I replaced my ancient laptop. The new laptops wifi chipset wasn't supported so I moved on to Linux. I still read NetBSD and pkgsrc release notes, but its not like it was.

The Commodore Amiga. I used several Amigas productively long after their heyday, but I loved these machines and their OS. Way ahead of their time. Some people are still developing new versions of the workbench OS and newer hardware to run it on. However, the technology gap is now too big for any of it to catch up. Against my better judgement I'm still rooting for some of these products to succeed and be a viable alternative to Windows, Mac or Linux PCs.
I used to be on a bowling team with my mates. We'd bowl 2 or 3 times a week, (practice and league)
i moved to another city and dont really have anyone to bowl with so i basically havent played for years.
But i still keep tabs on the latest tech and professional results. Still on a bowling subreddit since there's nothing on the fediverse
I keep telling myself i will get back into it.
Photography. I hope to get back into it one day
I'm looking to build a darkroom, because physically developing is so nice.
Physics I guess. It's been over a decade since I was studying it seriously, but I do try to stay relatively up to date with major developments when I can.
i do this with bio, never been able to get a foot in the door, because of how convoluted the gatekeeping was. but i mostly focused on plants, and animals rather lab based techniques.
The last time I installed Arch Linux (plain Arch, not one of the flavored varieties like Manjaro or CachyOS) on a machine I burned it to a CD-RW, if I recall correctly. I still keep up with it because I keep up with Linux news and it's still one of the tentpole distros after all these years, and I think it's a really cool project, but after getting a stable debian workflow I no longer felt the need for it.
As I write this it occurs to me that I have an old chromebook that's still got GalliumOS installed on it, maybe it's time to give plain Arch another spin and see how it handles. It's been too long.
I have a feeling this is the pipeline for a lot of Arch users.
Arch is great, especially if you want to learn, but as a daily driver, if you need to rely on it… it can be hard.
And that’s where Debian comes in. Is it latest, bleeding edge software? Nope (though repos do exist that backport a ton of open source projects that are essentially third party tools instead of integral parts of the OS). Is it stable and reliable? Hell yeah it is.
RuneScape.
I played RuneScape when it first came out (late 2001) ("RuneScape classic") and stopped playing shortly after "RuneScape 2" was released (2004). I played for about a week in 2011 after a friend brought it up, but I wasn't really interested in playing an MMO again.
I heard RuneScape pop up here and there over the years but still didn't feel like playing an MMO. At one point I tried to login for fun but couldn't remember my password.
About 2 years ago I suddenly remembered my password (who knows where or why it returned to me when it did) but I had my 20+ year old account back. I locked in and played OSRS for about six months.
I didn't know originally that OSRS was a separate new character, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to start over again, but I had fun revisiting old content and exploring new content. I watched a bunch of videos (Settled Swamplympics, etc)
I stopped playing shortly before Sailing was released. But I still watch the occasional YouTube video and read big news about the game. Maybe I'll go back someday.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Playing instruments. Too tired, and it's always a pain to set up. If I had everything right there ready to play maybe I would do it more… but piano keyboard needs a lot of space, and configuring 3 finicky software on my connected PC each time takes time (custom sound font and falling notes instructions app)

I haven't played R6 Siege since around Ace and the secondary hard breach. Still following a few Siege News channels to see what the game is like nowadays.
bio field(although i never tried to get into plants bio, i keep up on new discovery of specific type of plant lineages
). RS, not old, i dont like playing that version(i played it when it was only rs out there and dint like the grindy nature), i got burned out from just doing premiere early in the pandemic to about 1-2years ago, then the dailypocalypse happened and theres less motivation(they dint exactly replace it with something of equal value, just because people wanted mtx gone, the unintetionally side effect was eliminating all "time gated content", could not start another game to play long term due to current issues.
i used to follow some youtubers once, but once they turned heel and thier channel declined most of the fans left, but we keep tabs via the sub on how they are declining overtime.
Tennis. All the old tigers have fallen, I dont know the names of all the new contenders.
libertarianism and anarchism. It got too risky
