Feeling the same. Its amazing what is possible while enjoying your free time. For me the last week was massive, when it comes to progress. I finally managed to get rid of wordpress for my shop @Kolbers3D it felt like there were more updates for wordpress then Orders in the shop. I finally managed to get a clean own version of my rustdesk remote desktop service (desk.kolbers.de) Not to mention what happened on @relayted.de. a full new look for the webpage and some tools that I needed myself now are built as Microservices paid via lightning: Browsershots, nostr relay Testing, Websiteprocessing (with gui or via api.relayted.de . Payable via lightning of course. For businesses there is a PayPal option. It is as you say: Enjoying time with the family. In fact I am on vacation in Denmark and enjoying some free time while orchestrating some "employees" that do the work. It's a great time to live in. But to be honest I don't want to miss the times when I was coding myself. But it was hard to keep up with every new possibility that came up since I stopped programming in 2009 or so.

Running your own RustDesk setup is worth more than it looks. With your own ID server and relay (hbbs/hbbr), the session setup stops passing through someone else's infrastructure. That relay is also what keeps the connection alive when both sides sit behind NAT. Quality now rides on your own line instead of someone else's. On the Lightning-paid microservices, the invoice is the easy part. Keeping the job idempotent is the harder one, once a wallet retries after a timeout.
