It's great, customizable, I sent a suggestion to the volunteer development team, and they made it happen.

Your neighbor's trash. It's stunning what I find and fix, refurbish, repurpose or sell. Had a friend that used to cruise her hood on trash day, her and her husband would load the truck, sell it back to 'em on a Saturday garage sale. 12-14 hours biweekly work, ~$400 every other weekend.
My wife's friends dumpster dive at Walmart, though I question how that's possible. Most big box stores make that impossible. Dunno. In any case, it's wild what these stores chunk out. If Lowe's would let me, I'd haul home a pickup full every week.
People think I'm some sort of TV repair wizard but it's very easy to fix up dumpster TVs if you have a little patience and space. Broken TVs fall into two categories - broken screen or broken board (doesn't turn on, error screens, flickering). Stick to more popular models and when you find a broken screen, take the board and note the model. When you find a broken board of the same model, just swap it. It usually really is that easy. You can work in the opposite direction too and collect good screens waiting for good boards, but that starts to take up a lot of space quick because you're storing whole TVs at that point.
You will also inexplicably find a fully working 55" TV sitting at the dumpster 10% of the time.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned it yet:
With just a cheap computer you can have your own Netflix and Spotify.
How is it different than Plex?
Does it find the movies for me, or do I still need to figure out the Usenet or BitTorrent?

Yucata - online boardgames, take your turn when you can, no pressure.
Oh nice! Finally I can play Backgammon with people (no one IRL ever wants to play)!

Yucata is fine for asynchronous play but if you're looking for live online action
Is the way to go. Just can't start certain premium games yourself but you're fine to join any game that other people start

Very location locked, but all Smithsonian museums in DC are free. Even special exhibits that require timed ticketing.
Better get while the gettin's good on that one though. Even if the price stays the same, the value of that free admission appears to be set to diminish rapidly.
100% agree. I am leaving this this area in October for greener pastures in Europe.
Closing your eyes, slowly taking a deep breath, and calmly, breathing in, and breathing out, while focusing on the sensations in your body, and how much more relaxed you're feeling right now
i.e. meditation

RIP kimcartoon, I spent half my life there. WCO has been a good replacement, but the lack of comments makes it feel too sterile.
Maybe this is sorta dumb, but meditation is a free way to feel good and spend time, and also a free method of stress relief and to reduce suffering.
It's not free in terms of your time & energy, and it might cost some money to learn, but the best meditation manual I know of is free online, or at least it used to be - it looks like it was locked down on archive.org (where it used to be freely available), but you can still find it on Anna's Archive, and you can probably find it at your local library. Either way, you can learn to meditate for free, that's how I did it.
Running is likewise relatively free (you do generally have to pay for running shoes, and athletic clothing can be expensive, but it's relatively cheap over the lifetime of those items, and it's cheaper than most other activities). A great and accessible way to feel good and stay healthy.
Plug for Medito, which is a free non-profit for guided meditations. Not sure if the apps are open-source but still, they're a good organization in stark contrast to the many other meditation companies that are very much for-profit.
Kanopy - a website where you can stream movies and TV shows, which is free if you have a library card.
