Spotted this today. As we can see, @Gibbo has clearly fallen on hard times, I think it's due a lack of huge discounts on GPUs.

What do people do, I assume hobby wise, and then have you found ways to monetise that hobby?

Personally I use spare server capacity for providing distributed computing hosting (crypto things mainly), host some private cloud services + game servers for friends, and livestream when I'm feeling confident enough/not out of the habit.

Firstly, LOL at Gibbo's side hustle.. bet he transports all his fruit and veg in his 458..

Secondly, this spare server capacity, is that your own servers, or the company you work for?

Just my own little cluster, nothing too fancy. It's more a case of it pays for itself rather than earning much.
 
I've been thinking about a side hustle for a while. I still never did the matched betting thing. I'm not sure if that still has legs tbh. So boring though.
 
Whenever I think what can I do as a side hustle, it always comes back to one thing - poker. I did not play for about 3 months as I was on holiday, but since I've come back a few weeks ago, up about £1200 playing live + online.

My wife and I tried to start a print-on-demand t-shirt shop on Etsy. We sold one t-shirt to someone that we didn't know, and that was it. I gave up after maybe 6 months of working on it and paying advertising fees etc. to Etsy.

I feel a bit annoyed about it to be honest. We had lots of good, AI generated designs. The t-shirts were cool. I wear a couple of the designs pretty often.

I guess there's just too much competition, and people willing to invest in much more aggressive marketing strategies.
 
Or else what? Most aren't UK based companies. It will be like Amazon's never ending tax dodging saga and there are so many people to chase they won't be able to afford the manpower to do it.

Also they can't do much about people trading in cash.
