Gm 👋🏻 it's come around quick... only be a few weeks and we might start seeing the first frosts 😱
Started digging out this years onion bed. Its mostly sand, and is going to be refilled with a mix of cow manure and biochar. It will then be covered for a year.
The soil will be used to raise a path and as back fill for the new shed base.
A lot of work but it will go quicker than i think it will.

Thanks for the responce nostr:nprofile1qqswfa547pdmqkerzf2uen3agudc67wxffjmenqpge3dylc006fppyspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxvmm4de6xz6tw9enx6qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qj40rct . That covers most of whatni thought.
I support fountain.fm precisely because i can support podcastees directly.
I pay for the premium service precisely because i belive in supporting new initiatives. Nothing is free in this world, people shoild be compensated for providing value.
Is using AWS ideal? No.
Is it a compromise i can live with ? Yes
Open source code has its place. Closed source does too. We need an internet ecology that has diverse apps otherwise it just becomes a self flagalating circle jerk that eventually collapses because nobody can earn a living.
Gm frens 🫂
Have a blessed day.
And remember, there is always beauty and wonder in the world if we choose ro look for it.

Workout update.
The workouts have been inconsistent as I'm still at the excuse making/habit forming stage.
The diet has improved though with a lot of carbs cut out, especially bread. Most refined wheat products just give me painfull heart burn anyway so ir wont be missed. Though i havent burnt a lot of fat off i can feel my muscle tone improving.
Onwards to september. And a redoubling of effort 👍🏻
#gym #train #calisthenics #workout

As an average tech savy 50 yr old some of it is above my head, just want to make sure my support is warranted.
And i suspect the OP is a butthurt little wiener that can't understand why the world dosen't see his genius.
But he might also be right.
The Fountain podcast app is corrupt bullshit
It's NOT "Powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network"
It's a custodial bank account, closed source app, hosted on Amazon, with Gmail verification, letting you insert an RSS feed to one government domain.
Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday,
Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer,
With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: https://github.com/fountain-fm
You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account.
Look at this bullshit:
"Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam."
In Summary:
--Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account.
--Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files
--Insert Private Nostr key into closed source
--Heavy integration with Big Tech
--Surveillance of who is listening
--Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain
You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control.
I'snt Arweave being used by odysee in their next update ??

Do you have a counter to any of these points ?
Just asking, because i could counter some. Mainly from a "they already have all that data from other podcast platforms that use AWS".
It is, but I'm enough of a conspiracy theorist to belive thats out of our control.. 🤣
Me too, it would be a game changer. Though i'm too cynical to belive it would drop energy prices 🤣
Yeah, SMR's have been around for awhile now. The only thing stopping them is governments addiction to being thought nicely off by the green lobby...
Seems that way doesn't it..
In my opinon he comes across exactly like everyone else in the anglosphere.
Everything is equivalent ie "they love their children too".
Yeah they do, but how they exprsess it we'd call itchild abuse.
There is not like here.

I'm glad some one has called this out. If Joe has one flaw it's he thinks the rest of the world looks at itself the same way we do.
It dosen't.
Utopian thinking we only get you so far.
Then it will get you killed.
Got one of the side walls done today. Its one of those jobs i want to finish once uts started.
Had enough mortar left to make a start on the base course for the second wall. That one can wait till the end of September. Its a lot shorter so only needs one bag to make decent head way.
Another good day, progress has been made 👍🏻
