I have been playing Civilisation VII early.

So far, I’m loving it. See how long that love lasts and if it can beat the classics!

So for us #Australians that have seen what’s going on in #USA - guess with our next #election coming up, we need to consider what choices we have.

Bit of a fun video: www.youtube.com/watch

So with these new law changes coming eventually to social media, including the need to verify ourselves with ID to prove our age - how does that look for #Mastodon and other #Fediverse social media? In particular the larger instances that have responsibility to its user base under their own countries laws?

I don’t think this would affect small private servers in any way, but I’m interested to know more…

Do you like #pranking your colleagues at work?

Found this cool website with loads of fun #pranks

Wow, this brought back some memories.

It’s just a shame that you cannot create an account behind a Proxy, VPN or Tor.

Might have to ask #DeepSeek to code my own version…

If you followed me for photography but notice I now boost varied content, follow my photo-only account: photos.familylison.com/@sporetra… Feel free to unfollow here if uninterested. This account will share daily thoughts on diverse topics. #PixelFed is for photography; Mastodon for thoughts and long-form hike/photo posts.

I’m really liking the new #Pixelfed UI.

30 minutes of skipping in 40 degree celcius = 150-160bpm heart rate.

Feeling good. Go away belly fat lol

First night of night shift is always a struggle (yawn).

Here is a neat video explaining what the IndieWeb is, and why I decided to create my own domain and website using IndieWeb principals.

Come join the movement :)

Project completed. Ethernet cable routed through my double story house, with switches, to our NBN fiber modem connection. Now enjoying 1000Mbps speeds direct to the PC, instead of what I was getting, 300 via WiFi mesh.

Plan on going on a hike in the Brisbane Ranges tomorrow with my wife. A nice 12.2km trail with a 314m elevation gain up the mountain. Should be fun! Can’t wait!

Fediverse is an important step in the freedom of the internet and owning our own data.

I enjoy sharing my photos on Pixelfed where there are no algorithms, likes and views.

I’m still having fun making this new website. Lots of coding. I have not done HTML in more than 25 years! Take a look if you like and let me know your thoughts. samuellison.com

A New Printer: Will this mean I start making my own prints?
So just the other day, my step-father purchased a new photo printer as he’s an avid professional photographer and makes a lot of photo prints for his clients and for the family.
I was lucky enough to be gifted with his old printer, which is a tried and tested Epson Photo Stylus R3000.
Fun with Aspect Ratios …

And this is my daily runner and my editing setup. Bit of a creation HUB for live streaming as well for a game I have been working on for years.

This system runs Pop!_OS and a 43 inch 4k HDR monitor.

My new printing station. I got gifted an Epson Stylus Photo R3000, so happy!

Got some old monitors and a laptop HUB and will use this space purely for printing purposes. The laptop is running Windows to cover me for windows native apps I still use for certain tasks.

I can do up to A3 prints and in rolls too for panoramic.
