What jobs allow one to do linux and coding without interacting directly with people or under pressure?

I have been in internet marketing for over a decade. I know some see it as 'sleazy' but it is whatever you make it. You can choose to promote scummy products like penis pills or ethical stuff your are into however the latter may be harder to make a buck from and requires more creativity.
I learned coding and made the jump to linux around 2016, making automation bots for the marketing.
I currently enjoy some passive income from my efforts over the years and have not worked for over a year. Once my basic monetary requirements were taken care of I found myself losing interest in working.
Even so, I know full well the income could disappear any time, which it has done in the past, having had many long troughs where making money again seemed impossible, so keep an eye on new projects I could undertake.
Since the coding and linux infrastructure has been my favorite part, using it as a vehicle for the marketing, I wonder if there were direct jobs I could do related to this stuff as marketing products that I was not personally interested in was not that motivating once the baseline money to live had been met.
Of course there are things like sysadmin and programming however both I feel would make me beholden to someone else whereas with marketing I can work as much or as little as I want.
Are there any fields which may still offer the freedom of marketing but more directly related to these things?
All I have thought of so far is perhaps producing a product to then sell/rent out. I have hated ebay for a long time due to how it favors buyers and treats sellers like crap so I had thought of making an online market which was fairer to sellers and using crypto maybe for payments. Of course would be a large undertaking but I have the luxury of time and looking for something to sink my teeth in to.
Even so would probably want to bring other coders into it and seems like it would be an interesting project working with other coders on a shared vision, having only coded solo so far; though I can envision that can also bring its own teething troubles but already being financially independent removes a lot of the outcome dependence.
So my main criteria summarized are:
-linux and python related
-no 'man' above me telling me what to do which rules out freelance coding
-no general pressure to work to deadlines other than the ones I set for myself
