A non existent practice creates non existent results. Same with most things.

The observing from outside. The duality is the first realisation. We are not our thoughts. Our thought are us. They create the sense of self.

The thoughts come from a variety of directions or arisings. The function of meditation is to initially slow this continual barrage of undisciplined mind and senses. To be aware of the nature of this very real situation and how it controls us, not the other way around.

OK … How is it going?

Well after reading this https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-mastodon/

Was prompted to search again for RaspberryPi 4 to HDMI cable. No luck.

More searching for info required. She who dares, wines … or in my case whines …

Engage claws. Hold on tight …

Thanks for the feedback guys. ❣️🫵🙏 I am calling my soul server OPERATION HORCRUX. Really in honour of the presently unfashionable Black Hat Death Eaters …

Obviously I hope in time to have several instances. Possibly on a quantum or organic neurone chip if available. Maybe in another dimension/dream world.🤩

But for now before I am overtaken by my dank side:😇

  • Have a raspberry pi 3 available, could not find the right cable for the pi 4
  • Trying to use my existing hardware for my first piece/peace/instance
  • Am plugged into home ethernet and a relatively fast fibre optic cable service

My next tasks: To prepare/format a micro SD card and find a one piece raspberry pi solution. Not sure if I want a Virtual Box/Machine solution. Probably a dedicated Pi Server would be best? I could then white list a savvy friend and MAYBE family … in which case would maybe start with a HTML page and passwords to be given out personally. Wot fun! (I iz such a computer nerd)🤗

Sadly only Herpo the Foul and Tom Riddle know how to make HorCrux. Fortunately I am not daunted by fantasy … 🤓😁🦞

In time,

I hope to set up a tiny self hosted instance running on a Raspberry Pi. Containing my personal bubble of interests. In other words it will be my virtual cyber essence.

My cyber-sole/soul if you like, the best bits. Calling my Lemmy/Fediverse instance, Operation Horcrux.

IT is a dream. Expecto Patronum …

If you have ever been cyber stalked, you may prefer to have anon avatars, names etc. Having been stalked I prefer to have the option.

Most of us are pretty innocuous but trolls, scam bots, agenda pusher, junk sellers, etc are not something I want …

Be safe.

 

This morning, I tried to get into Sopuli, using Firefox on Puppy Linux.

Could I? No! It was rustating. I would say frustrating but I feel ironed out.

I do move between input hardware, so difficult to say what the issue was.

Sadly don't have the interest to chase it down. Just venting. Sorry!

 

Examples:

  • Mastodon could use the up down reddit style boost/like buttons
  • Just giving stylistic differences to services is less important (but end users love it) as it is easier to implement …
  • Certain aspects are a nightmare of complexity for end users, for example taking followers to new instances should be automatic, then give users the option to unsubscribe, downvote etc
  • User simplicity is the strength of the centralised twitter, reddit etc … until the content pushing/commercial payback of bubble bursting overvaluations …

what are you stroking? 🤣😉

 

Never been much for ribbit/rabbit/read it so don't ever remember registering. I like fediverse mentality and extreme ad-minning but which lemmy lemming to jump off the cliff with?

No haters … and liked the Beaver.

Here I iz and likes it

Lots! ☑️💕❣️

My problem with strawberries is slugs and snails. I refer to my strawberries as lgbt/gay as I am growing them in pink pots. So far we have only had a max of 5 … just watered them. Picking just before lunch.

Viva strawberries and cremé … oh yum! YabYum for Tantrists … :)
