Actually the biggest change from Facebook (I skipped Twitter, tried it for few weeks, then realized that it is only massive group of people screaming at each other and left) is not the freedom (yes, it is, but only theoretically, since I am still posting same things here), but the completely new and fresh mixture of my social bubble. On Facebook I was stuck in a social bubble, that did not feel so good for me and it was not changing anymore. But here everything changed and I feel more free to say anything, because I know, that people in here can handle anything. I like my new social bubble.

I do not think the usual definition of a freedom activist is quite correct. For me, freedom is not a fight. Cant be. And as long as the mind does not let go of the fighting duality, it cannot actually be free, because there is no freedom in a conflict. So for me a true freedom activist is the one who frees himself from his mind. And just by doing that, freedom naturally and quietly spreads around. Just Live and let live, that is the biggest freedom activity.

Hm. Interesting.

CZECH VIDEO:

První povídání bez scénáře na téma digitální demence. Je to skutečně takový problém, jak si myslíme? Nedá se nad tím přemýšlet i z jiných úhlů, než z těch, které poslední dobou vídáme v mainstreamových mediích?

Peter Horváth is the greatest anarchist I know. He is the only person who embodies the concept of decentralization so deeply that it actually characterizes his pure essence of being.

I am in Logseq team.

I quickly uploaded the video on Youtube for those who have read through the whole note and were not able to actually see anything. I will sort the video problem later :):

Oh and this is the link to creatr profile I guess? Interesting project, looking forward to get used to it properly. https://creatr.nostr.wine/profile/npub1y2se87uxc7fa0aenfqfx5hl9t2u2fjt4sp0tctlcr0efpauqtalqxfvr89

It doesn't work :D

Trying Creatr (alternative for patreon and herohero)

Here's a sample of the videos I'll try to post behind the satoshiwall in the future (I hope it is working, I'm posting this through Creatr with "public" checked just to try it out - next videos should be locked for a monthly fee of 4000 sat). I don't expect anyone here to be interested in this, the whole Creatr is supposed to be aimed at my Czech speaking Youtube subscribers who may have this as an added bonus to the whole Youtube channel (or as a way to support that Youtube channel regularly, just because they like it). But it's clear to me that without the added value of that czech Youtube channel these videos won't interest anyone.

I wanted to share it with english speaking nostriches anyway, because since I try to live more and more outside the system, Creatr is currently the only way to arrange regular monthly subscriptions, so I'm excited about it. But I don't expect to get any large numbers of subscribers on it even between the Czech youtube audience (although I have a Youtube channel aimed at the anarchist/freedom/nomad social bubble, I still think most of them still don't actively use Nostr and there is still a lot of non anarchists who do not even have any bitcoin).

But that's the way it is. Maybe it will motivate someone from my viewers to try bitcoin, or even Nostr (I guess have to do a video for them "how to create nostr so you can start supporting us on creatr" :D) Anyway, if anyone wants to see short videos of our privat nomadic lives on the road like this (with english subtitles) that are meant to be ONLY bonuses (and not full standalone episodes suitable for Youtube), if you're bored, or if you have too much money, feel free to join our creatr, there will be more videos like this one. But if you speak only english I do not think there will be big enough motivation to do this... but I'm certainly not going to stop you! :D

I'm just trying this thing out and letting you know that there is a cool Nostr service that is the only possible alternative to Patreon for nomads like us, and that's awesome. Even though we are still too early.

(hope the video works after this long post).

I don't really know what to do. I thought that if I pay for 2 relays (nostr.land and nostr.wine), everything will be fine, but it's miserable, lately I have to post new notes 3 times, because they don't catch on any relay and in the end I have to forward the whole note to my mobile and post it via amethyst (which is for me the best client ever, but unfortunately only on mobile, while I need to be able to do my post on PC). And after the posting, I don't know if people see it or not, and it makes me a little sad. I'm still a bit lost in trading relays. But today I found it better to use Brave than Firefox. So I don't know if it could be my privacy settings. Maybe the solution would be to have some client on desktop, that is not in browser, but as standalone software.

Looks like the problem might be Mozzila Firefox. Brave works better somehow.

I have some problems with my relays. I have 2 paid relays (nostr.land and nostr.wine) and I still get error messages when I try to post (on all of them). Actually this is the second time I am trying to post this comment (I hope there will be no duplicate since I have already posted one and it disappeared). I dont even know if somebody sees this post. Does anybody have a clue what might be wrong? Could it be somehow connected with my poor internet connection?

Evening at the opencast mine. Our friends from the Czech Republic are still with us. They have only a few days off before they have to go back to work (they are not full time van lifers anymore - it is not easy to sustain this lifestile and only few make it for more than 1-2 years). We prepare a meal together and wonder if it would be worth it to buy paint and repaint our scratched van. Meanwhile, we collect wood, make a fire, and eat dinner. Then we play some evening songs (Eda joins the guitar with his firepan drums) and go to bed :).

Did it work? I just woke up... Might give it a try.

Hi.

Freedom is incompatible with desire.

I have had so much trouble with posting this one... I hope you will see it only once and not 3 times (as I needed to use 3 clients before it worked). If yes, accept my apologies.

Another beautiful place to live. An abandoned surface quarry.

That is why I started YouTube. Inflation came, so I needed a little bit more. And YouTube brought up this "little bit more" I needed. End of story. I try not to complicate stuff.

But hey, I am not exactly a person who counts everything to a single dollar. Maybe it would be bigger amount if I actually counted it and involved everything. So do not trust me too much in this (not that I would like to lie, it is just that my attitude is not exactly reliable).

The only thing I am thinking about is - did my small income bring enough to have basic food and diesel for last few months? If the answer is yes, everything is fine. If the answer is no, I know I should change something.

TLDR: Is nomadic life limiting? Everything is limiting. You always trade

something for something. You just have to choose what you value more.

Hola hola.

Karel: "Hey Martina I guess I am an anarchist now"

Martina: "Really? How come?"

Karel: "Well, let me explain... blablabla.... freedom ...blablabla... states ...blablabla... schools ...blablabla... bitcoin ...blablabla... taxes ...blablabla... austrian economic school..."

Martina: "Sounds good"

Karel: "I'll sell everything we have and buy bitcoin, is that okay? Also I left my job, we will live in an old rusty van from now on".

Martina: "Yeah, whatever, just please feed the dog already"

Easy.

I guess that counts as a whale zap too.

Was anybody here able to use shipyard.pub (app for scheduling posts on NOSTR)? I always end up by being not able to push the publish (or schedule) button. It simply does not react. Don't know if the problem is on my side or not. Tried different browsers and different relays and nothing seems to work for me.

Of course, he needs to be prepared, but on the other hand, I always expected libertarians to defend ANYONE (even Nazis) to have any flag on their house, regardless of their own personal values or opinions. And I am often kind of disappointed by how much this is not the reality, how much the freedom only counts for things "I like" and not so much for things others like and I do not. But this way of thinking brings us back to where we have always been. Freedom of speech either IS or IS NOT. Nothing in between. No exceptions. No opinions. No "yes, but...". No matter what the flag was, even if it was the flag of the FED, the communists, or the worst shitcoin you know. There is simply no room for personal values, when it comes to standing up for freedom of speech, everything should come through the filter, otherwise there is no freedom at all.

Someone told me that the images in this post are not showing up as images, but only as links (in amethyst to be concrete). Does anyone else have this problem? I tried to upload them to my own hosting, so I do not spam NOSTR hostings with my pictures. I thought that it does not matter where I upload them and that every client will show them the same as if it was uploaded to nostr.build

Late in the afternoon all the campervans pull out their barbecue props and the preparation for a dinner together begins.

Frequent cooking together outside (several times a week) is another great thing about nomadic life. It suddenly becomes a nice social event, we try to do it as often as possible even when we are only with kids. Because then what doesn't happen is that one parent shuts themselves in the kitchen and is cut off from the others until the food is delivered. Having family and friends around makes it a completely different experience.

Someone brings in the wood, someone picks up a guitar, and someone just makes the whole atmosphere more pleasant with their presence.

Not to mention that kids naturally learn from it. Also, when they're cooped up in a small indoor kitchen with you everything is kind of harder than when they're outside.

But - Is it efficient if everyone is cooking, even though only one might be cooking and the others might be doing something "important"? Absolutely not. Or... it depends on what you're trying to be more effective in. Happiness? Or something else?

Ok. I will try :).

Beautiful temporary nomad camp at a lake in Spain. And since 2 out of 4 vans have kids in them (including us), there naturally emerged a little nomad kindergarten. Kids run around, build lego, show (and change) toys together and have a great time :).

The children's attention is divided among a group of people and not just the parents (or worse, a single mother), making parenting a natural and seamless process, as it has always been for nomads. I love these days when kindred spirits meet along the way and form a small temporary community.

In the evening, adults start a fire and bring guitar, so it is like going from one great flow directly to another :).

I was out of all social media and am slowly coming back. Any good things I missed on NOSTR? Clients? New people to follow (non Bitcoin especially)? What about NOSTR being a YouTube alternative, did that idea evolve anyhow? Or NOSTR being an assistant for YouTube (for example for building community, or replacing HeroHero/Patreon)? Thanks for any advice, slowly starting to look around :). Looks like everyone is still making a lot of progress here, which is awesome.
