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 about to put in some more work/research.

Not sure what yet … but I can edit my post. So feel confident some plan will emerge …

I used a server host with a .com url for a few years. It gave me experience uploading using FTP software. Checking site from different browser and platform hardware. That is a paid route. Cloud computing.

Minimalism was in my Cyber-DNA as I did most of my tinkering from Puppy Linux.

What is a distributed intranet with servers added as every node holding the complete dataset? Arpanet? I believe this is back to basics.

That would be the idea of starting with a single server/instance …

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 … 🤓😁🦞

I saw Richard Stallman talking about GNU. The kids of Linus were running around the stage during the talk. That was the day I decided to be a penguin. My sort of freedom.

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.

Tried it, liked it. Glad it is still active. It uses much software I am familiar with. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=slitaz

What browsers are used with it, can not remember?

Thanks for info, just themes mmm … not my need :)

Are they free? Any good?

OK … not always sure what I am saying

Seems reasonable,

All too often spirituality gets a bad name from pseuds/suits as does armchair anarkicks and their nihilist sisters.

In a sense we are all on a path, some political, some spiritual - all life. We use what we learn for a better functioning. Of course not everything we learn is helpful, question of separating the wheat from chaff and wood from trees … 😎🦞🏴‍☠️

what are you stroking? 🤣😉

I will have to look up https://pleroma.social/ is that it?

Sorry to hear only flies. I have a tiny 30’ garden patch. The flies arrive first, then the bees, then butterflies (if lucky) couple of months ago it was little blues but hoping for others …

The grave patch I am very pleased with and hopeful for a spreading effect …

Planting box sounds like something us urbanites can manage. Do you have access to a flat roof? We have a slate roof on our outside loo … thinking of flattening and growing moss or some such … for the pixies to play on … 🤔🦋🦞

slow and hence unusable when I tried it

Mostly by colour, I like green … also mishtakes ❤️‍🔥🦞🫶

IT just works? for otters?/others libraries, knot 4 me … could not even join the Matrix despite two requests for confirmation post/chat/eel-mail

Wot the 'eell/el ? :)

Yep Puppy works well on older hardware, as does Austrumi which is sadly dormant …

I used Debian Knoppix, before I had a spare hard drive. Puppy can now be built and be compatible with Debian …
