I got a #RodecasterDuo and finished setting it up on #POP_OS, will be fun doing my #LiveStream with it soon. Managed to get 3 USB channels/sources to route my sounds working on it without relying on windows.

#Hiking #LerderdergGorge - Check!

Mission accomplished. Got some nice footage of the full hike I will share some time soon on #PeerTube. Also got some good audio recording of #BirdSounds which I will share on here and on my #Ko-Fi for download!

Feel so good! And here’s a nice photo of a #Kangaroo!

So I’ve set my mind to #hiking #LerderderGorge today. I will try and record the whole hike on a #POV camera and make the recording available on my #PeerTube channel for those that enjoy viewing hiking videos. See if I can capture some nice #sounds too.

Bought myself a heavy #JumpRope, weighing in at half a kg. Did 30 minutes of #Skipping to some #HardstyleTrance.

Feeling good!

Reading @manton.org’s book on #IndieMicroBlogging fascinated me, and during my reading, I bumped into a blog that does #microcasting type of setup. I am now doing it too with my two children. A daily, 3 to 5 minute #PodCast for our own memories. And my daughter did the artwork!

Apparently the younger generations in #SouthKorea are using #Cash exclusively. Does anyone know of this? Is there such movements elsewhere that is as prevalent?

I’ve got tomorrow off from work, and it’s not a bad day. Top of 16 Celsius, no rain and fire danger rating in the green. Need to decide where I’ll go #hiking tomorrow that is not too far from home and I can get home in time to pick up the kids from school.

#LerderdergGorge? #WerribeeGorge?

I’ve been procrastinating too much, so I set myself out to #journal my daily tasks by setting a “To-Do” and a spot to journal about what I have accomplished for the day and anything I wish to add to the next days planning. I’m going to also try and do this on a weekly/monthly and yearly basis.

From my reading about social media platforms growing exponentially, there comes a point where growing a #moderation team is essential. This problem is less common with the #Fediverse with self-hosted small instances. But what about the larger instances? Have any #devs thought about implementing features such as is available in #Discourse. A #trust based moderation system as a community grows? Is that even a feasible thing to do?

Something else I have come to love about the #IndieWeb and the whole #Fediverse as a whole, as a new adopter of the movement, is that I have noticed when I make posts with hashtags about a product - I actually generally get direct feedback from the creator themselves and open to discussion.

I’m currently reading @manton@manton.org’s #book on #IndieMicroblogging. Let you know how I go, and what I think about it!

Recently, I have had a fascination with wanting to try out hiking in the darkness of the night.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about night hiking and what the benefits might be, including being able to stay cooler in the summer heat, experiencing the fascinating sounds of the nocturnal wildlife, and seeing the night sky up above.

Interesting article from an employee as to the effects of being a federal employee in the United States currently.

A lot more than what we are able to read on mainstream media.

I am playing around with #Obsidian to see if I can use it in my workflow for blog writing on my website. I tried #Tangent really quickly but it just stays on a loading screen when creating a workspace?

Some more beautiful #postcards have arrived in the mail today from #PostCrossing!

Done!

I have managed to get replies showing up on my website when I syndicate blog posts to places like #Mastodon, #Pixelfed and so forth. I also managed to get #syndication links showing under a post, linking to where else that same post can be found when cross-posted!

Check out the example on my website: samuellison.com/2025/02/2…

Trying to figure out how to get replies to show up on my website automatically when #syndicated with other platforms. See if I can get the Syndicated To: links to also show today. @shellsharks@shellsharks.social got me motivated with his website.

I promise, I will look into #PESOS later!

So I have gone through all my accounts and managed to remove myself from #CentralizedSocialMedia. I have added placeholders on my profiles linking to my website at samuellison.com and am no longer posting to #Facebook, #Instagram, #X, #YouTube or #LinkedIn.

Give those a few months and I will close them off completely.

So I have disabled #Vanadium on my #ChromeOS and replaced it with just the #Tor browser for mobile phone browsing, with #Kagi search. While #Mullvad works better on Desktop for “speed” when it comes to needing fast download speeds. I don’t tend to need to use fast internet from my mobile phone and find myself just doing #procrastibrowsing of news sites.

So I’ve moved my #OpenSimulator region over to #NeverWorld.
