Last week Suno announced that they will be hosting a competition over the summer giving away $1 million in prizes. See their blog post here: https://suno.com/blog/sos As a homesteader I'm always looking for ways to generate passive income. There are several ways people are using Suno to make money. Some are publishing music and listing it on Spotify, some are starting Youtube music channels, and some are using Tiktok. I have toyed with the idea of making some homestead music albums. We’ll see if I get around to making that. What I am excited about is this contest. I created the above song specifically for it. If you could give it a listen, smash that like button, and share it that would be awesome! If any of you have songs you have made on Suno, shoot me a link and I will do that same. Here are my top 5 tips I’ve learned while using Suno: 1. Use the custom mode. Custom mode gives you more control over the song allowing you to improve it. 2. Lyrics are the heart of the song – don’t just use the AI generated ones. If you are not going to write your own, use the Suno AI to come up with the first draft of the lyrics. I have found the Suno model gives better results than Chatgpt or others. You can have Suno generate lyrics in custom mode by typing what you want the song to be about in the lyrics dialogue box and then hit “generate lyrics.” Use the AI lyrics as a first draft. Often the AI will write lines that don’t really fit just to make sure they rhyme. Go through line by line and rewrite as necessary. If you want some help on how to improve the lyrics, I have had good results working with the Claude-3-Haiku model (https://poe.com/Claude-3-Haiku). 3. Don’t expect the first couple songs to be very good. V3.5 of the Suno model does a good job, but you should expect to iterate several times until you find the sound you are looking for. 4. Use the extend function in custom mode. If there is a part of the song you don’t like or the AI does something silly (like sing the 2nd verse twice) you can use “extend” to have it generate the song again from any point in the song. 5. You can use the extend function to add lyrics to an instrumental. I have done this on a few of the songs I have made. I find a melody I like, come up with some lyrics that fit, and then extend the song after the first melody phrase has played. I did that process with this song and think it turned out great.

I did this by placing the eggs in a carton and then elevating once side of the carton and alternating the elevated side every 12 hours. The idea is you don't want to give the yolk a chance to stick to the shell. npub1yef08tcsme3mcy9zv2y8rgluuchqse27fl8epfvtu9hjg6aktk3seqkeuj Calm Soil I have heard that 8 days is the recommended maximum for saving them for incubating. That is stored at room temperature.

I actually run several other services on the same machine, just not through Umbrel. Tailscale, Pi-hole, Photoprism, Trillium Notes, Portainer, and recently Duplicati for back-ups.

This led me down a rabbit hole of Candida. Most medical sources will tell you that it is benignly hanging out in your body most of the time not causing and trouble, but that is not true. Among other things it enables the bacteria, p gingivalis (you know the one that causes cavities), to take hold on your teeth. My mouth is feeling better, but not back to 100%. I've been avoiding sugars and flour, taking turmeric and boron. Now I'm declaring full out war on candida and am on day 2 of my first candida cleanse. We'll see how this goes. #Health #CosmicDeathFungus #Parasites npub1yef08tcsme3mcy9zv2y8rgluuchqse27fl8epfvtu9hjg6aktk3seqkeuj Calm Soil Overview of the current state of the homestead.

Need to make a cereal called Charios 😃 npub1yef08tcsme3mcy9zv2y8rgluuchqse27fl8epfvtu9hjg6aktk3seqkeuj Calm Soil Biochar is basically charcoal made typically from wood. It is made by burning wood with very limited oxygen. That way the volatile gases and such burn of and the carbonized structure of the wood remains. Feeding it to livestock has shown in studies improved growth performance, better egg yield, ability to resist pathogens and a reduction of methane production. The high absorption capacity of biochar also aids in the removal of toxins from the animals and the farm. npub1yef08tcsme3mcy9zv2y8rgluuchqse27fl8epfvtu9hjg6aktk3seqkeuj Calm Soil Yes, it is charcoal made from wood. I ran it through a chipper shredder to make it bite sized for the chickens. npub1yef08tcsme3mcy9zv2y8rgluuchqse27fl8epfvtu9hjg6aktk3seqkeuj Calm Soil It amazes me how quickly the chickens empty this dog bowl. I will fill it up in the morning with biochar and by the evening they have emptied it.

We almost got some rain yesterday but it missed us. I have dozens of baby trees in the ground. Some looked like they needed some moisture so I watered them today. As most of them are too far to drag the hose out to, one trick I have learned is you can fill a 5 gallon bucket and put a very small hole in the side near the bottom. This let's the water trickle out and seep down deep where you want instead of running off and not reaching the roots. #permies #Pray4Rain #grownostr
