Last Notes npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It's astonishing how quickly the novelty of agentic ai wears off. The immediate desire for greater intelligence is undeniable. It does the thing you want, but to a pretty shit standard. Which is unacceptable for people with high standards. Our human nature shouting, MORE POWER!!!! npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha thanks. Yeah it's very satisfying knowing its on my own server. It started life on a mac mini, but i've since upgraded. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/0d1fdda9c5db45f0e9e350dcefb44294406f0c843a2583b3330ae6435eebbe74.jpeg Looking forward to more evenings like this in the coming months. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Beauty is you can spin up a relay and set whatever rules you want. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Wow. Claude (Opus 4.6) is so much better than Codex (GPT 5.4) at running Openclaw. The difference is night and day. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yes pretty much. Then it built a helper app to store and track everything. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s a blessing in disguise for the guy. He just doesn’t know it yet. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yesterday, after 18 months, I started sharing my work on Instagram and Twitter (x) again. The beautiful thing is, I've had almost nothing to do with it. It is my Ai agent "Eve" doing it for me. There is no deception though, it's clearly stated it is not me. She writes the post, pulls an image from the shared folder, I authorise it, then it gets posted at the optimum time. The next day, she then gives me a report on engagement and shares a few nice comments. I feel like I am winning in four different ways: 1) I'm still not going on those god awful platforms 2) My business benefits from the promotion (30k+ followers on insta) 3) I undermine the platforms and speed social media along to being moltbook v2 4) I'll be outside with real people, doing real stuff. Next step is to follow the @npub1s05…eyhe example and get Eve replying to the comments. Wild times. https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/53498e6500fb7df4c2f47774f04a1fe8636b57888b360b20e94094a0dc9e28e8.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam “Give us your bitcoin and we’ll give you bitcoin.” 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/75266b7960f4f123036db0ca39cf809a84c825590d0c5a4c1c3e97072ca4d073.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha yeah. My agent is desperate to get me involved in project management. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha. Only because it’s upgradable, and I keep putting more stuff in it!! npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam They’re just private at the moment. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I upgraded my server just before Christmas (and before the price hikes) so I’ve got decent hardware. I’m running Proxmox with a variety of VMs. For the Ai stuff (which lives on a separate VLAN), I have spun up a new VM for each of the agents and my main one, Eve, orchestrates everything and does ops. Then one agent is a builder, one is a researcher, and one is my social media guy (although I’ve not done anything with that one yet). I’m using Openclaw and setting it up the first time was a bit tricky, but after that Eve does it for me. For the LLM I’m running a local one through Ollama, but the main one I’m using is gpt 5.4. If you have a chat GPT account you can log into Openclaw through the codex oauth, so I’m not wracking up big API bills. So far I’ve built an app for my wife’s business. A creative assistant to help me develop my ideas for YouTube videos, particularly around titles and thumbnails. And there’s a simple app that is basically project management and research. If it sounds like I know what I’m doing, I don’t. I just had a go and put in the time. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yep. It’s wild. What’s also interesting is it might end up being the more artistic, less technical people that come up with the best ideas and use cases. In the space of two weeks, I now have a team of agents working for me full time. I’ve made three apps that work really well, and I’m having jaw dropping moments several times a day. I’m struggling to sleep due to all the opportunity and ideas buzzing round my head. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Lol....Yes, that is my point. Creating pictures was democratised and put into the pocket of nearly every person in the world. The same is going to happen with building apps and coding. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam One week ago I started making apps. I’ve already made one bespoke app that is serving my own needs and has increased productivity. I’m also close to completing a second one that could potentially save my wife’s business 2 days worth of work per week. The key is having an instinct for system design, workflow and project management. Not coding and engineering. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Seeing non-photographers continually using phones to take terrible, grainy pictures gives me hope my experience is not yet expendable. Photographer cope, 15 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣 #nevent1q…gl39 npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Bitcoin as money elegantly deals with human nature. Bitcoin as data storage does not. And all the dark sides of the human condition will be exposed and allowed to run. This is what the very technical people always seem to miss. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yeah, the latest version as OpenClaw. I couldn't get Signal working either until I set up a new phone number on an eSim. Then i just gave it the phone number and it set itself up. 🤯 npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Just a bit of banter with my Ai assistant on Signal. 🤣🤣🤣 https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/130ef03bfbf29631fb76ae5bafbbc76da6b5844279335028bf946f64d37cde6c.png npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Convenience is the enemy of meaning. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Testing posting this in H.265 to give you the the full 4K, small file size experience. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ai Can't Make Art... https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/f5028de408f2ab1816594b02a5628ec052c6d1922dff33b91ec116fe31c764a8.mp4 #photography #art #ai npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yeah it does. I'm the same as you, so for some services I will expose them to the internet and login with strong passwords and 2FA. You can also use the Pangolin built in Rules to limit access. So for example, my website is obviously exposed to the web, but then i use path rules to block the backend (example.com/path/to/the/backend) to only be accessible on my home IP address. Pangolin can also install Crowdsec to rate limit and block the bots and known threats that can hammer on the door. This particular security model might not be for everyone, but i'm using VM's and VLANs etc to compartmentalise things on my network. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I installed Pangolin on a VPS and then any public domains I have, point to the VPS IP address. None of my home network ports are open. It also has a reverse proxy built in (traefik) and then a tunnel (similar to cloudflare tunnels) between the VPS and my home network. The tunnel also allows you to access private services externally if you install the Pangolin app on your phone or laptop, then it works similar to Tailscale or Twingate. The pangolin GUI also allows you to easily setup Rules to restrict your public services behind a password or PIN code, geofence, ip block, or path block etc. It’s powerful, open source and easy to use with good security baked in (without me having any knowledge to verify the code). https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/quick-install npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Immich is one of my favourite bits of software in many years. If you store your digital photos on someone else’s computer (The Cloud), you should definitely give it a try. #nevent1q…0ydu npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I use Pangolin on a VPS. Lets you expose private and public services running on your home network. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s absolutely brilliant. I ditched iCloud about six months ago. I particularly like the machine learning based search for finding photos of particular memories. The mobile app has been improved recently but I’m desperate for a built in camera app and editor to replace Apple Photos. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Humans for hire. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam For me, checking their “Replies” is the quickest way to tell. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I've been lurking rather than posting on Nostr recently. So here's a Little Owl from one of the rare occasions I have the patience for wildlife photography. #photography https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/4b952aba812c992fe94b0f99db54f5b1b00d389c85743d4dc4b5a7a73e6e9f44.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It has become clear to me that convenience is often the enemy of meaning. It can even do us harm. So much fulfilment is gained from doing things that are hard. Food is the best example of this. Self-hosting your own software is another. But so is hiking up a mountain, it would be way more comfortable and easy to stay at home and watch TV. #landscapephotography #photography https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/64221dfda47baf587ec181a002ea133e72cc03c6edb048d6afbf8ffda3ffaf8b.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Given that 99.999% of us are complete morons who never invented a thing, I’ve always found it strange when people take gratification from technologies developed in their country. I’d be much more proud of a country that creates the positive environment for endeavour, experimentation, and entrepreneurship - which clearly the UK no longer does. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Bitcoin is the antithesis of the centralised AI hellscape that we are marching towards. I bought a 4TB NVMe SSD about a month ago for £299. The same drive now costs £540. And RAM is out of stock everywhere. The price rises in consumer electronics is gonna be crazy. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha ha. At 36k that’s inviting corruption, which will probably be pretty easy in this role. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam What is bitcoin? npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s the smells. Digital photography doesn’t smell of anything. It’s why a use a tripod for my landscape photography though. Apart from helping to get an accurate composition, it slows me right down so I can be present in the moment, out on the hill. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Thanks for the shout out. Hope you all have a great Christmas. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ugh. I know that feeling all too well. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Thanks Gigi. Immich is absolutely brilliant, especially the machine learning based search. It’s excellent for finding little moments I remember from when my kids were younger. Your work has been an inspiration in the past too. Thanks again. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam VDO Ninja for your private video calls, it uses WebRTC and it totally private. OBS to record everything. Eg Your own camera and mic....and bring the VDO Ninja feed for your guest. I use it for my podcast and its super reliable and high quality. OBS can simply record to you hard drive, stream live, or do both. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Huh!? No he isn’t. “Jimmy Carr is the United Kingdom’s most popular comedian and celebrity.” I did enjoy the way he just casually dropped that in though. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I use OBS to record and bring everything together. VDO ninja to online call your guest and bring it into OBS. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam 🤝 npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam “Suitcoiners” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m very bearish on normal people’s strength to resist authoritarianism and centralisation. Especially in the west where life will remain just comfortable enough, so long as you follow all the rules and sing for your supper. Reckon if we’re truly orange-pilled, we might have to accept it’s gonna take a long time and some sacrifices will be required. “I burn my life to make a sunrise I’ll never see.” npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam A good few exciting options. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I'm DONE with Adobe... #photography #opensource #selfhosting https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/53571c38d660e678213d4043f128eef21ff54af9b0da7f6dbbb1150c66751195.mp4 npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam They’re not gonna take our internet connections away. The last thing they want is us gathering (and organising) in the real world. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s so dumb. Still depressing to see how many people are in support of government doing parenting though. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s a place for the desperate, trying to reassure each other that being a corporate hack is meaningful and fulfilling. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Bought some gold before there's none left. https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/e60c2af35a5df6258d5d07657cc74bdce14206e964428d21088805691b8f8a3e.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam The hybrid model has worked for me for several years now. The V4V portion remains very low though, probably less than 5% at the current time. After building out my own system - where I post the same videos as I do on YouTube without the ads and sponsors - I can now smugly direct people to my website whenever they complain about seeing another sponsored section in my videos. They nearly always choose to stay on youtube though, and it seems convenience also plays a factor in this whole story. Like @npub1clk…pup9 also touched on in the video, "the ask" can create tension and easily appear desperate or greedy if you do it too often. Whereas I can land a new sponsor, get more money into the pipeline, plan ahead, and there's almost no friction from my audience. The other important aspect of the "lifeboat" in my case is maintaining a newsletter email list of my audience, and then keeping it trim so it represents my core fans as much as possible. I've been using Sendy for about a year now, and if a platform suddenly disappeared, I could stay in touch with the most important followers. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Breath of the Sea.

I have mentioned Nostr to quite a few people now and I find the sell extremely difficult. You can see that cynical look on their face like you are asking them to check out the "latest" app or bit of software. They then tell you they like Discord (like Alex here) or Bluesky and a bearish wave washes over me. You say the word "decentralisation" and their eyes glaze over. However im gonna promote Nostr again on some upcoming videos and got a decent response when i menttioned it before. Will also soon be introducing Immich and other self-hosted and FOSS options that exist for photographers. It's just very easy to forget how far down the rabbit-hole we are here. Releasing my current stream of consciousness would be like talking a foreign language. Especiallly to people still so deeply ingrained in the fiat system and who are often seen supporting authoritarian regimes, such as the recent "ban" of social media for young people in Australia. Apologies for length of reply. You just struck on something i've been thinking about a lot lately. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam People think success means a big house, a fancy car, first‑class flights, luxury getaways, and glamorous events. I say the opposite. True success is a humble life, a loving family, connecting with nature, and complete control over your time and money. #landscapephotography #nature #life https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/d638e963700572556b8dc6886af014376ddc6ec4d7da7b03daa4614f2becd8f7.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I honestly don’t think he’s well. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Zone training is 100% the way, especially in your mid 40's like me. I like zone 2 also. Keep doing it and we get faster/better at that same rate. Pushing toward max heart rate is completely pointless in middle age (and above) and the risks skyrocket, especially in cold weather. Fun fact - shovelling snow is statistically an extremely dangerous activity. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I feel bad for the guy. It seems the social media mind virus took him over quite a while ago. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Thanks so much mate. Really appreciate it. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam “Bitcoin is only worth what other idiots are paying for it” He’s not wrong about that bit. Although I’m an idiot, so what do I know? 🤷🏻♂️ npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Like @nprofile…jyxt said, the price of digital content will always trend to zero. This includes software. The past 10-15 years have seen this happen to photography. Hardly anyone cares about the final image anymore. Pretty sure it means that protocols win though, rather than the apps or platforms on top. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha. One year and one month clean. Spent the extra time I got back learning some new stuff from scratch. Now have a full self-hosted stack in production, including the instance of Jumble posting this note on. Big tech algorithms keep you dumb. Much better being a nostr retard. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Autumn layers. #landscapephotography https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/d9d51b5610dd5c1cef4ae350f9e24edf4d50764eb02a3f20cb1669f9a818b330.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Oh my god it's a double rainbow!!

Really appreciate the mention. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I’m now experimenting with Pangolin on a VPS. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Precisely. Currently making prints. And Yesterday I was reassessing my self-hosted setup to remove the cloudflare reliance. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam The bear market vibes are much better. Humility in the air. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha. The problem is real though. Especially if it’s raining, I’m basically driving on hope. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam …..and then don’t proxy your shit through cloudflare, like I have. 🤣 npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s undoubtedly the weak point of my self-hosted stack…….Aside from the internet going down altogether. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Depends if you get wine pairing or not. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Just got Fedora (Linux) running on a 2015 MacBook Pro with full graphics switching. Feeling proud. Installing Linux on old Macs is tight. https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/006fcbe30a7e52be47c6f72703b1cb9919411f179daf221a4f8ef22f594e32a3.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I love that you love nostr and bitcoin. So I’m gonna zap you. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsvsqt33rp4zfxe0y5c66sqdavgvsc52y4nvlgtxm9wxtwx7ynvcjqx5eqra npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yes. If you want to sell financial services to us. Me, or anyone else not selling financial services in the UK are still quite free to explain and teach how multi-sig works. Like I say, I’m not defending this, but it’s an important distinction. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam This probably relates to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) (Amendment) Order 2023. It has to be “in the course of business”, basically if you want to profit, you must comply. Both bitkey and ledger are blocking their own blog sites to UK users in order to remain compliant - probably whilst they attempt to register with the FCA - at which point these pages will return. I’m not defending this and the UK state is increasingly authoritarian but it’s probably better to avoid hyperbole and be accurate. For the time being at least, we’re still free to talk, teach and publish about Bitcoin. I still remember a lot of NGU bitcoiners crying for “better compliance” and “clear regulation”. Well in the UK, it’s here now. Cheers for that. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It’s brilliant and looks great as a PWA on desktop. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam “Don’t be evil” https://immich.app/blog/google-flags-immich-as-dangerous npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Basically replaced Apple Photos with it. Auto uploads anything i shoot on my phone too. https://immich.app/ npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam This is so true. And they give them stupid names like they are a 13 year old boy (which in all fairness, they might be). Every Woz needs a Jobs. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Immich looks brilliant as a PWA on desktop. Simply lovely. I just wish the phone app had a native editor, then I will be free of iCloud/Apple Photos forever.

The speech from Stellan Skarsgard in S01E10, about the sacrifices and costs of being in a rebellion, also gives me shivers. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yes! I thought I was the only one who cared about this speech. https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/340584ea868de5cd2c6d24d8a0f0e51db4f051120a26fb13fb5b1efe39db2e71.jpeg npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It is harmful content though. It harm’s Google’s bottom line, control of internet infrastructure, and their general authoritarian outlook. Building up a FOSS driven alternative model has been my play for the last few years. I just run it in parallel, ready to welcome those who are done with centralised platforms. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam 💯 Getting our ass out the door is the main thing. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Yeah, I’ve been lucky a few times. I often find the best photography conditions are the first hour or so when the snow actually starts falling. Often after that the visibility reduces and it also becomes much trickier to shoot in the conditions. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/fc2af25f857cbc232f351ec7b1e46f1818e70517e759b818deea81feb2fd432e.jpeg The second photograph in my new Limited Edition Print Series — exclusively available through my Bitcoin-only store. “Whispers of Winter” was created on a breathtaking morning in the English Lake District, as snow fell softly across a silent, frozen landscape. Only two prints will ever exist. Grab yours now — ships free, wherever you are. https://btcpayserver.firstmanphotography.com/ #landscapephotography #print #photography #art npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I’m ready for more nostr mountain biking content. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Thanks so much. Definitely a day to remember. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam It is the Grasmere area of the English Lake District. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/7b143f801dd7cd81ff6aa069a722ffd1705998949ecc58591fa41a7514cfac0f.jpeg I’m happy to announce the release of a new limited-edition print series to accompany the launch of my Bitcoin-only store. Buy fine-art photography — directly, instantly, and without middlemen. The first piece, “Transcendence,” is limited to just two prints — ever. Grab this early release before my YouTube audience starts throwing dirty fiat at me. https://btcpayserver.firstmanphotography.com/ #landscapephotography #photography npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ah man, I appreciate the post very much ( and the shoutout) and it resonates. It's been over a year now since I gave up Insta, Twit, etc. It was pure noise and i'm so much better off without it in my life. I've always felt that succeeding alone is completely retarded. Nostr and value for value systems are the antithesis of this. I love the ride together, die together mentally that it fosters. Despite this I am still somewhat sceptical about the sustainability of value for value. In my YouTube normie world, depsite constantly promoting it, value for value accounts for a tiny portion of my content related income. Sponsorship and advertising still account for the vast majority. I think part of this is the sheer convenience, discovery and network effect provided by Youtube. You've inspired me however to make more of an effort. Also, I think you're an excellent photographer and enjoy your work. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Ha ha. I know you love a ferry. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam Good dude too. Met him at a (northern UK) meetup a while back. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I’ve got my YouTube channel set to automatically quarantine comments with links in them. The bot spam can be horrendous otherwise. If this was my channel I would never have known you’d commented. npub1suftx60fq63eyhmqqqxq48qjmefuy20kkc8wdp5j6jmnssrzttusc4lmh2 adam I “subscribe” to people I like and agree with. But I also “follow” people I don’t like or agree with.
