Sports clubs and hobby clubs for sure. In Australia we have clubs called Men’s* Sheds that are for things like woodworking, but also a place to talk about mental health - things like loneliness. (*I don’t think they’re all so exclusively Men’s sheds these days).

I play disc golf and that sometime feels like a church haha. Trying tk convince people it’s an awesome sport amd get them to try it feels like trying to convert someone 😂

I dunno, but driving thru the insanely rich neighbourhoods definitely depresses me out.

Be Kind Rewind is a quirky movie where they end up making these Mockbusters. Don’t recommend if you don’t like Jack Black. Do recommend if you like Mos Def.

That’s definitely one of the more unique methods of finding new music haha

Not answering your question exactly, but finding community (non-commercial) radio shows in your local area that you like is a good way to find new music. Find a few shows/presenters that play music/genres you like and they should play local artists that you might not have heard. They’ll also mention upcoming gigs etc.

I’m right there with ya. I’m thinking it might be a case of picking easy pieces (projects) of the puzzle to start with and then building from there. Like I’m considering setting a pi-hole soon - seems like an easier networking project. But yeah, I’m not really sure what’s the best order of eaiest to hardest projects in terms of self hosting etc.
