Welcome to The Spore Trail

Welcome — this is my personal space on the web.

I’m Samuel Lison, based in Melbourne, Australia. I created this site as a place to gather my thoughts, photography, writing, and projects into one self-owned and self-hosted home online.

This isn’t a portfolio or a feed designed for algorithms. It’s simply a space where I can share ideas, observations, and creative work at my own pace — without pressure to perform or produce.

You’ll find a mix of photography, notes, reflections, and occasional updates on things I’m building or exploring, including SL Colonies and time spent outdoors with a camera. I also share field recordings captured while hiking.

Thanks for stopping by. If something here sparks a thoughtful conversation, that’s always welcome.

  • @techlore 20 requests a year isn’t as bad as I thought. And that’s with warrants through the court system (which usually requires some kind of evidence provided as to why the warrant is needed) and targeting suspects in actual crime. Is it a precedent? Probably…

  • Today’s highlights: Got my serviced after 102k km—only $360 plus a free Uber ride! 🚗 Also, been diving deep into research—dreaming of a personal assistant (once I figure out how to lock it down)! 😉

  • @manton I guess that if it can write apps for itself it can write anything to enable it to hook into anything else you want. Very interesting and yet scary in a device with internet access that just needs to be communicated with through your messaging app or code injected within its web browsing.

  • @manton now you got me looking at youtube over this. This is nuts….
