Unfortunately, I think it’s one of those things that you have to answer yourself, y’know?
Hobbies mean different things to different people, but usually it has to do with making stuff, doing stuff, or learning stuff. But in almost all cases, your hobby comes from trying new things.
I’d say wander around your library, Wikipedia, or a hobby store or something and see if something sparks interest. Try it out, and if you enjoy yourself then it sounds like you could have a new hobby. And if it doesn’t spark joy, then at least you gave it a shot.
A lot of people also don’t have hobbies, and if that makes them happy then power to them. You don’t have to have an obsession to find meaning in life.
You say you like gaming, and are tech savvy enough to set up your own Plex server. Have you ever considered making your own games? You can get started for free and game development spans across so many disciplines that you might find something along the way that you really enjoy.
Side note: if you find you don’t really enjoy anything, then that could be a marker for depression. I know when I’m depressed I have a very hard time engaging with my hobbies. But sooner or later, I’m able to come back to them and enjoy myself again.

Thanks for the link to that game platform, are there good tutorials for getting started/trying it out?
