The Spore Trail - Photography & Hiking Journal, HUB, and my Internet Identity

Welcome to The Spore Trail

Samuel Lison

Welcome to my personal corner on the Web! I am Samuel Lison, and I am from Melbourne, Australia!

I created this website as my little corner to consolidate all my thoughts, opinions, art and words into one place that is owned and self-hosted by me.

I chose to move away from mainstream social media and creating my own domain and identity on the internet where I am free to say and express what I wish and how I wish.

On this website, I also share my photography journey, which includes photos I have imported and edited from RAW format into art, as well as sound recordings from my hiking adventures which I make available for you to download completely free, or, you can choose to pay what you feel my work is worth to you. All through Ko-Fi. Just visit the shop and browse!

I appreciate you visiting my corner, and look forward to some productive discussions.

  • @manton and micro.blog could potentially be a next-generation of RSS reader, like my fedi feed I get through my micro.blog app :P For news I use @kagihq - keeps it simple, no ads. RSS feed that I can add to, curate, cull as my interests shift like following on micro.blog - perfect.

  • @acfusco @acfusco yep. Subscriptions definitely hold you captive. That’s why I have a spreadsheet of my subscriptions and work on keeping my monthly figure right down to essentials.
    2 of my essentials at micro.blog and Kagi search.

  • brought the laptop to work because we have our Christmas party on in a few hours after work, and not worth driving back and forth in traffic. Seems trying to procrastinate from a work location isn’t as easy as I thought. Also forgot any games I had were installed on my external SSD 🕹️

  • @manton the issues for people come mostly with frothed up milks, not a splash of milk. Opens the doors to the barista behind the machine burning the milk and so forth. I like just an espresso lately, no milk. Hard for any barista to ruin on me.

  • @manton no apology necessary. You are already transparent about everything you are doing - that’s all that counts to me. I’m sure my couple readers a month won’t have even noticed.

  • @manton - the bookmarks tab on the iOS app doesn’t let you select embed. Have to load micro.blog into browser to get that option. Clicking reply doesn’t do anything on the iOS app on bookmarks but show a blank field.

  • Meta buys AI wearable startup Limitless to expand devices news.kagi.com

    Interesting. Never heard about limitless before now. Wearables that listen to you all day? Not sure I would trust meta with that data personally. But something local and on device?

  • @jonah although America is a continent and not a country and America encompasses north and south as whole.

    I’d care more if he tried to name it Gulf of USA.

  • @manton that would be really nice indeed. I’d love to be able to subscribe to individual feeds, not just the primary domain.
