Whether you take the word "broad interests" as a positive or negative, I do have a lot of things that I like, so allow me to list them all.
Photography
It probably originated in junior high school, when I borrowed my physics teacher's camera to take pictures at school.
Later, I joined the Photography Association in high school, but at that time I used the cameras of my family or classmates to take pictures.
It was not until the university period that I got a camera in the true sense of my own, a Sony a6400. Later, I slowly saved money and collected a lot of lenses.
I began to take film photos on 2021, both 135 and 120. In order to reduce costs, I learned to divide the film and develop it myself. Introduced by an "elderly master" at an event, I became a member of the Qingdao Youth Photographers Association.
Now and in the future, I prefer to use small cameras (such as Insta360go3, GoPro etc.) to record the bits and pieces of life, as well as shooting from drones, FPV and other perspectives.
Cook
I truly love life, whether it be from photography, cooking or music etc.
During the epidemic period, when I took online classes at home, I cooked and ate by myself at home every day, and slowly exercised.
I refer to the video online, and slowly figure out how to cook.
Now, I can cook at the family dinner during the Chinese New Year.
Tea
I have studied tea for a period of time, and have tasted all the high-end and low-end teas that can be tasted within the scope of my ability.
I have a general impression of the flavors of various teas, and I know what kind of tea I like.
I only drink tea because it tastes good, and I refuse a series of teas that are uncomfortable such as bitter charcoal, and I cannot appreciate this type of tea.
I also can't appreciate the bitterness of coffee, the high number of alcohol.
Hardware
Maybe I should be called "Tuba Garbage Guy".
In fact, the source is the concept of "poor support" in the past, and I didn't have much money when I was a student, which led me to always pursue the ultimate cost-effectiveness.
Later, I like to watch various disassembly videos and maintenance videos.
I think I have a strong ability to do it myself, and I have disassembled and installed countless things since I was a child.
Although my undergraduate degree is software engineering, I think hardware is more interesting these days.
My small goal is to write a low-level os kernel and design a robot from the processing chip.(I know it's a waste of time, but people always have a dream, right?)
My sense of accomplishment comes from the fact that I can see that what I'm working on is working stably and normally, and preferably a physical object in front of me.
Digital Product Enthusiast
I have been interested in new technology since I was a child, and I have been interested in various electronic devices since the iPod Nano6 that my mother bought me.
I am very interested in fresh products, and I have been in Kuan Forum and Xianyu for many years. I am very interested in new and innovative products, whether they are the latest products or years old.
When I buy electronics, I know what I need, and I'm happy to pay for performance/look/experience, rejecting so-called patriotism.
Creation
As you may have noticed here, I prefer to record. Whether it is through text, pictures or video, it is my favorite way to record life.
From the dull-headed candidates who couldn't hold back hundreds of words in composition in the exam-oriented education, now I can easily bring my opinions, my thoughts, and my stories to others through tens of thousands of words.
Of course, these articles are only spread on a small scale for the time being.
Game
I'm a gamer, but I don't play mobile games that people like so much.
I love well-crafted games, and I'm more than happy to pay for it, whether it's great gameplay or graphics.
I am very disgusted with the current Chinese game industry taking out shoddy games to make money.
Currently a Switch player, Steam/Epic player, Oculus Quest2 player, a Xbox player, and may purchase a PlayStation in the future.
Home Lab | Server
From the time of the epidemic, I got a dual-disk small host and turned it into a NAS, and it was out of control.
Later I upgraded it to an E3 cpu, installed Esxi, and installed all kinds of things I need to use.
My dream is to buy a cabinet and install a high-performance server without considering power consumption and noise.
In fact, I think the computer in the future should look like a remote desktop, right?
Flowers
I like flowers and plants, and I like to keep fish, mainly because it is very comfortable to look at, and I can stare at it for a while.
And I had been occupying the table on the balcony of the dormitory to grow flowers, grass and turtles during university period.
Handwork
I like to concentrate on one thing for a long time, and I feel very accomplished when I finish it.
And I myself learned how to make leather goods through online videos.
Radio
I am a B-level HAM, and I may take the C-level certificate in the future.
I play both UV and HF, call sign BI4PMV.
PGP
I have been tossing around with PGP&GNU&FIDO for a while. At present, my public key is 0xE2A7DCF3D5A3D1DF, which should not change for a long time.
PostCrossing
I would send a postcard to my friends and myself at every place I went while traveling. The patterns and postmarks on the postcards seem to prove my footprints. At the same time, I am also active on POSTCROSSING, iCardYou and XRS. Happy Postcrossing!
