@npub1pqs…c4cj the big problem is there are no good options. There needs to be a really strong candidate somewhere… but I think they are all hiding.

@npub1gzc…fsz3 can I get help to unsubscribe from your mailing list... I've tried at least a dozen times and they keep coming.

@npub1rr8…tl9g not yet. Been doing some study on it. They are both going to the vet next week.

So, this morning I think I’ve come to the conclusion that our dog Hazel who we knew was a mutt has some herding breed in her. She won’t stop herding or nipping at our new pup. The poor thing is a wreck because she can’t do anything without being pushed around by the other. Need advice folks.

Ok, now I’m testing that IFTTT integration.

2023-10-05 17:27:28

I saw that you can have an RSS feed go to DayOne using IFTTT. I think this is a great plan, that way my blog can live on within my journal and the things I would have put in both get there with one entry.

I don’t want to start a political discussion ( famous last words ) but does anyone see anything a little hypocritical here? I’m telling you, the side doesn’t matter, they are all full of it.

Does anyone know of tools or apps that make it easy to blur out faces or place emoji’s over them. I want to get a little more personal now and again on the blog, but don’t want to share my family members faces in photos. Especially my kids. Any ideas would be most helpful.

I consider myself an environmentalist of sorts, but I am on the regenerative meat side. Are there any podcasters or bloggers who talk environment and the regenerative agriculture solution? And not end cow farts…

The more I think of it, I really like Hey because it's Rails.

2023-09-28 17:14:54

I have a never ending email battle going in my life.
1. Hey.com - best interface and service in general, but mail only
2. Fastmail - Nice, economical, but for some reason bores me.
3. Proton - Secure, a little pricey, don't know if I really need the encryption… I don't think I have ever emailed someone where I needed it, or they did.
I'm leaning towards Hey again because they announced they have a Calendar in the works... I really need to pick something and stick with it for eternity..lol

@npub16r0…z5pl @npub1aeh…4nwx On bot Mastodon and Nostr, You have to know who you want to follow. It's harder to find rando cool people. Maybe easier on Nostr since the crowd is a little smaller. But I usually read a blog post, then see if the author is on Nostr or Masto.

Can someone remind me, I believe there is a browser extension that lets you filter links from twitter, youtube, reddit, etc... to alt services like invideous, nitter, libreddit and so on. I can't remember it's name for the life of me.

@npub1y0m…27k7 I could, but it would require the use of youtube still. I'm old and stubborn.

2023-09-13 18:36:31

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your show is only on #YouTube and has no #RSS feed, it is not a #podcast .

Another thing I'm searching for is a app for @npub120z…33r2 on both #Android and #ios
I do have the Pixelfed beta on iOS but it doesn't recognize my instance so I can't use it.

@npub12f7…lkxh it is probably me then. I have both and seem to get confused finding it in android settings. Maybe because I'm expecting it to be done like on my iPhone.

Has anyone tried #BookWyrm? Thinking of installing an instance to see what it's like.

@npub1j2u…c034 the interesting problem with this is the evil person or bad guy is literally a matter of perspective and what side your on. I took a bullet during the war and can't blame the fella, to him I was the bad guy. It's just the way it is.

2023-08-30 17:09:05

So I was on Micro.Blog for some time using it as my sole Mastodon/Activity pub instance but to cut costs I have moved back her to omg.lol as my main.

#[0] I am liking bluesky a bit as far as daily coms. Nostr as far as tech seems the coolest and has crazy stuff going on, like a nostr chess game... And of course mastodon is old faithful, but a lot of my peeps seem to be going from Twitter to bluesky instead of masto.

I find my Pixel Buds to be just as good as my airpods with the bonus of them staying in my ears. Controls are also better on them.

#[0] I've been using bluesky, nostr, and mastodon. I think masto will probably stay the same, which is awful for brands and influencers. To hard to find people and things. So they will goto bluesky, which I actually do enjoy. While in the end, the 100% freedom people will be on nostr. Mastodon will continue to be ruled by the geeks/intellectuals.

#[0] #[1] the zap thing is not necessary, it's just there as a feature. Also, bitcoiners are very different from every other crypto coiner out there..well except Monero maybe. They are annoying at times. But Bitcoin is the real thing unlike the other fly by night scams from the Etherium side. But bitcoiners can get really preachy...look at me already...lol

#[0] #[1] Nostr is super fun, but be warned it has a lot of Bitcoin folk on it. So if that annoys you, best visit a little later in the future when more normies get in on it.

#[0] I feel it's going to be bluesky or Nostr in the end... Or maybe masto also...but I think the other two will pull ahead.

#[0] catching up on last episode, so is the "mkultra" a permanent site? or is it something that spins up only during the broadcast?

I currently listen to much more talk than music. I think I need to change it to more Music and less podcasts.

#[0] #[1] Let's wait and see what the Framework 16 is like when it's officially out. From what I know so far you can add a second battery and own multiple so that could be a good solution especially if you want a powerful laptop that isn't a mac.
