I 100% would go door to door updating OpenStreetMap fulltime if I could afford to, socioeconomically.

This obsession spawned out of maps not updating fast enough in Portland 20 years ago to reliably run a courier service and kinda getting screwed by that, ultimately leading me to learn about and start contributing to OpenStreetMap just to have accurate navigation in a city that was changing the street grid daily.

I've had someone show up in my mentions with an encyclopaedic knowledge of fountain pen restoration and repair, help me successfully nurse a vintage fountain pen back to life and then promptly disappearing into the ether, this is the sort of thing we are missing out on.

true, if i wasn't forced to work in a company, i would go to every single home to make their cyber higiene top noch, this would allow a sharp reduction of easy hack, and scam.

but i need to live like anyone so i have my work and make this reduction possible only for my company.

Sad but the whole system is built like this, and it's killing the evolution rate.

i'm pretty sure if we give money to it many of our problem would disapear (like the population issue).

I actually had a though once that it'd be cool to be responsible for a small community. Not in the administrative sense mind you, but in the janitorial sense. I'd go around fixing, replacing and upgrading things all day and never need therapy again in my life. Could have a simple network too. Setup with a firewall and some IDS, maybe a honeypot, protecting the normies that'd live there from baddies. Go and oil some hinges after killing a printer. Basic janitor stuff.

There's a guy from Wichita on Youtube, with 3+ million followers, who goes around cleaning up the yards of abandoned houses or ones where the grass and plants have gotten way ahead of the householders. His favorite thing is finding sidewalks and curb cuts that have been buried under dirt and plants and making them usable again.

His least favorite thing is poison ivy.
