Hobbies, projects for the system administrator?

Question

Startups

Hello.
Are there sysadmins here?
Tell me, what do you do outside of work, in terms of hobbies, start-ups? What can a sysadmin do?
There are programmers I know who have hobbies / projects in various open source products, but I'm not a coder :)
And in general, how often do programmers leave system administration? Or is it usually the other way around?

Answer 1

Get a girlfriend / wife / lover / child / fish / hamster / cat / dog / butterfly / friend / alcohol :)
In general, the time when there is nothing to do is very good for remembering the old and learning something new :)

Answer 2

But seriously - he was wildly interested in tourism. At first we went by car to interesting places, then we began to move away from the car for 2-5 km. And now it’s already rushing from long hikes. And every summer weekend you count and are afraid to spend it on something other than tourism. But it's worth it - the head in nature is disconnected from everyday urban problems. You return to the city / to work so clean, fresh and defragmented that all things are done by themselves.
I am also fond of aquariums, snowboarding, blogging (but not in summer). As a child, I was engaged in radio electronics and still dream of remembering how to hold a soldering iron in my hands. Hopefully I'll get to it soon. And there is already limitless scope for creativity: if you want to dig radio communications, if you want - sound, if you want - robots and other digital equipment.
In general, tourism and radio electronics are our everything!
PS: life partner plays a very important role here. So this side of life should be given the closest attention.

What could be better than working as an admin?
In addition to work: I “fix” computers, “repair” laptops, I went to study - I decided to pursue a dream, I still (just don’t laugh) I sew wedding and ball dresses when I’m nervous, I walk with children - away from computers on weekends.
I'm just thinking about projects.
