What hobbies do you practice that is other people's professions?

Linux Sysadmin here.
I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I'm also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I'll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I've been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.
That reminds me of the box of half-broken Game Boys from back when I got really into chiptune ...

Doing stuff with CSS

Man I wish home distilling wasn't illegal as fuck where I live ...
You can't even brew beer? No distillation needed there

I don't do great with beer or wine, increases my digestive issues. Otherwise I'd totally try my hand at an English bitter or something like that, British beers are nearly impossible to get here (at best pale ales or IPAs, which I hate) and I don't like the local styles.

Oh yeah, Scotland did (does?) have high numbers of drug deaths ... does Glasgow really suck that much?
Highest in Europe allegedly. There are a lot of deprived areas in the country including parts of Glasgow, but Glasgow city is a great place to visit.

FWIW if you’ve only ever had commercially produced wine, your issues may actually be stemming from the sulphates used to preserve the wine. You may want to pick up a bottle of sulphate-free wine and see what happens; You may be pleasantly surprised. And if that ends up being the case, homebrewed wine obviously wouldn’t have those sulphates.

My assumption was that it's related to histamines (which would explain why I do badly with both beer and wine), but might as well try your suggestion.

I fix all the tech at work because our IT department is dog trash and not fixing something when I know how feels like bees in my brain. Does that count as a hobby?
I also sometimes cook food in a more elaborate way than necessary which I've heard some people get paid for
-
Fixing bikes. But if I had to do it for a job, under time pressure, I'd hate it. Give me all afternoon to fix a bike and let me put on a 5 hour podcast about the collapse of the Aztec empire, that's my happy place
I would like to know which podcast covers the fall of the Aztec empire for 5 hours. Asking for a friend

I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.
Funny, I can't seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.

You can also be a jack of all trades, master of some. Or a lot. Or most.
Or, you can be, Abserd!

It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things
Does 日本語 mean "I'm bad at it"

Ha no, it means Japanese (or Japanese language). The kanji would be pronounced “nihongo”

are there significant differences in pixel response as battery voltage goes down?
Update: To answer your question, yes apparently the calculator is indeed sensitive to variables such as battery voltage and even possibly/likely the temperature.
I made a couple tweaks to the display layout, but left the core minute pixel timer algorithm alone. Tonight's test shows it's already off by a minute after only 25 minutes of running.
Oh well, it's still a fun experiment, even though I was already aware I might be playing with digital fire with this silly project.

I am developing software as a hobby that is fairly specialized in nature. That is only because I could not get a job doing the same thing. Fuck corporate monopolies.
