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.<br/><br/>I feel like I am winning in four different ways:<br/><br/>1) I&#39;m still not going on those god awful platforms<br/>2) My business benefits from the promotion (30k+ followers on insta)<br/>3) I undermine the platforms and speed social media along to being moltbook v2<br/>4) I&#39;ll be outside with real people, doing real stuff.<br/><br/>Next step is to follow the <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Jeff Booth</span> (<span class="italic">npub1s05…eyhe</span>)</a></span> example and get Eve replying to the comments.

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). <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>So far I’ve built an app for my wife’s business.

I&#39;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.<br/><br/>Pangolin can also install Crowdsec to rate limit and block the bots and known threats that can hammer on the door.<br/><br/>This particular security model might not be for everyone, but i&#39;m using VM&#39;s and VLANs etc to compartmentalise things on my network. 2026-02-26T10:35:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsp72xfuhqkkhu7g8qqnqp7uz0w9y26kd6twx56xm7hcylqlecv8rczyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0jmvc6up In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfkl67wdvcx89shlrpfn3awu78qp9sxtn5s86s963cdk5flea9enq92f8f8'>nevent1q…f8f8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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).<br/><br/><a href="https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/quick-install">https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/quick-install</a> 2026-02-25T09:32:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgd5le0qjd6ga96kcgfchge4ux2ndy56z2k8mca4kss9hqwzaldhczyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0jzfkawu Immich is one of my favourite bits of software in many years.

The V4V portion remains very low though, probably less than 5% at the current time.<br/><br/>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.

Whereas I can land a new sponsor, get more money into the pipeline, plan ahead, and there&#39;s almost no friction from my audience.<br/><br/>The other important aspect of the &#34;lifeboat&#34; 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 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. 2025-11-02T20:39:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspd76mj3zdfs7d3kvs8s2kl9rxyl2nvvgzwmd7zq8tefweww4a56czyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0jx8t87u <img src="https://blossom.firstmanphotography.com/fc2af25f857cbc232f351ec7b1e46f1818e70517e759b818deea81feb2fd432e.jpeg"> <br/>The second photograph in my new Limited Edition Print Series — exclusively available through my Bitcoin-only store.<br/><br/>“Whispers of Winter” was created on a breathtaking morning in the English Lake District, as snow fell softly across a silent, frozen landscape.<br/><br/>Only two prints will ever exist.<br/>Grab yours now — ships free, wherever you are.<br/><br/><a href="https://btcpayserver.firstmanphotography.com/">https://btcpayserver.firstmanphotography.com/</a><br/><br/>#landscapephotography #print #photography #art 2025-11-02T19:27:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrhwe52nhq645pk7shppycawz0sz73zhuyvuaysx6ujgdsqwyj87szyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0j6eem2z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd432zmeppc967q2rg9ykjukqe3acqz06nyfv3hvkyuzg8dnxssfguu50zg'>nevent1q…50zg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’m ready for more nostr mountain biking content. 2025-11-02T13:46:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2ug2qwqwnrp99amsdvrmzl4aka36yhc84d38wk4a0ygk78jh3svczyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0ju83cvg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0affqttl25r09ue9j26dt66lzpma5ezadleuwg7f3hcp2jftznxs5qv4er'>nevent1q…v4er</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks so much.

It&#39;s been over a year now since I gave up Insta, Twit, etc. It was pure noise and i&#39;m so much better off without it in my life. <br/><br/>I&#39;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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>You&#39;ve inspired me however to make more of an effort.<br/><br/>Also, I think you&#39;re an excellent photographer and enjoy your work. 2025-10-31T21:56:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst5s88x7qqhy7fyymxdycxhan2s3lcyy47n36xjdlyrfhlc4j4jeszyzr39vmfayr28yjlvqqqcz5uzt098s3f76mqae5xjt2twwzqvfd0jw464c9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0uvlt38rqfqn0hxaj7ru7cclp2aml85ggeym40tpqeapna9lq97g82yx4s'>nevent1q…yx4s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ha ha.
