I’ll give you one coin to see those ankles.

I might not have nice ankles but even I know to hold out for at least 2 freddo bars, delivered! 😎

I’m very much against a society where a person feels their only option is to sell their body for money, video or irl

I mean, that applies to most jobs though. Why should anyone feel they need to work hours on end just to live and make some rich guy, richer! 😎

So if I thought I could make a living off showing someone my junk I’d wouldn’t say no. But I guess thats easy to say when you have a horrible body that no-one would pay to see, lol! 😳

But then I think that about everything… if you’re doing it on your own freewill rather than coercion who cares what anyone does with their own life!

I’ve been looking at the cost to buy a farm and how much it could earn. Being disabled, I’d need to design it around my health but I think you can make it managable quite easily. Most of my ideas are already shown to work, so I wouldn’t be doing anything that would be considered ground-breaking.

The other benefit to running a small farm is it makes it far easier to pivot, you reduce problems of water droughts, etc… but if done right, i wwas working out if you can get through the first year for crops to get established, you could be making £50k a year fairly comfortably.

Aim for perennials, so you reduce the need to seed each year, grow a wide variety, you have a good basis for opening a small farm shop. Setup pre-orders so people can order, then all you pick is whats ordered. Tie in with other local farmers, build the farmos software to track cost/prices and you could even create a pick your own farm to reduce labour.

I really wished I knew someone who could invest in this because I have so many ideas for earning money with land. Hell, there’s farmers in the UK earning around £2k a month just from YouTube subscriptions, so you could turn the whole project into a youtube channel.

The biggest issue though is being disabled and being unable to repay any loan until the farm is generating an income which makes it impossible to get normal funding but the more I think of a farm, the more I think it would benefit my health in the long run! 😞

.oO(one can dream!)

If I had £500k I’d buy a 10-20 acre small holding and make a decent living. Design it so it’s easy to manage, no expensive machinery and rough calculations should net me £50k a year from a handful of products.

Setup a shop so people can order to pickup and you’re only picking what people order so costs are kept low.

But if I had that kinda money, I could live off £5k a year because I’d pretty much have no electric costs and I don’t like going out so if i didn’t have debt, I’d live a comfy life on very little.

Shouldn’t be that difficult I’ve yet to hear any politician giving real answers to questions. All you get is misdirection or nonanswers. Come up with real solutions to real problems… except they wont because they most involve taxing the thieves!

And then they wonder why Farage gets so much attention, he does usually answer questions and regardless of it being the truth or not, I’d guess most people are tired of listening to nonanswers!

This is the thing that really bugs me.

I love technology and can turn my hand to most things and would be happy just earning an extra £100 a week. I can usually figure out better ways to do stuff and i’m not fussed about hours. So long as I’m not killing myself to make someone else money.

But people still expect you to work miracles and whinge if you can’t do something you’ve never done before, like understanding technology means you know “everything”. Then happily spend £1,000s on bullshit subscription fees when they could’ve done it locally far cheaper!

And then people wonder why i’m no longer a people person! 😳🤦‍♂️

'It happens on device'

… before sending it to Apple and 3,000+ data brokers and palantir!

fixed

I think people have lost the disconnect.

Yet, it makes BILLIONS and companies spend billions on it,

The question is where does THAT money come from? And then ask yourself why everything is so expensive… because ad money isn’t plucked out of thin air. It’s added to pretty much EVERY product you buy.

So until people boycott ad products more than buying then nothing will change and everything will just keep getting more expensive as they all outbid each other for ad space because they don’t care how much it costs them because it’ll always get taken out of your wallet!

I’ve never been against most micro transactions. At least runscape have monthly costs so helping to cover them is ok.

The thing I take issue with in all games is they aren’t ‘micro’ to begin with. 99p for some gimmicky furniture/clothing and i’d probably buy it to support the game. The moment you start charging £5+, thats when i’m out. And sadly thats the problem with all games, greed! No amount of profit is ever enough and you’d think more people would vote with there wallet but here we are! 🤦‍♂️🙄

Its why i quit eve online, think i still have a pilot with like a trillion isk but they got greedy and went down the micro transaction route on top of nerfing all that was unique about the because it annoyed a few rich vocal players. Should probably login and take an expensive ship into lowsec for shits n giggles! 😂

Well, in case anyone thinks of torturing yourself building doing, don’t use SD cards!

Set everything up but there was a little stuttering and no amount of offloading to ram eliminated it so now testing an NVME drive thru USB. Again, not ideal but I’m not in a rush to pay inflated PI prices so while I have a 2TB NVME hat, I don’t have a PI 5 so… make do where you can! lol

My plan was to get a 2-3TB but thought it’d be too much so tried shoehorning it before remembering I already had the drive! 🤦‍♂️ 🤨

I run my own unifi setup so network stuff spread over a number of devices so don’t really have much of an issue. The zero’s only do audio streaming though on minimal os that can’t phone home or update and they seem ok so far but atm i’m still breaking stuff while i tweak stuff, lol

But when i leave them alone to play they seem to do fine. I mean they should all cache a few seconds of audio so drop outs aren’t an issue, the problem with most wifi is likely too many devices on 1 AP or poor reconnect coding which unifi seem pretty good with. 😎

I’m in the process of building a multi-room audio system atm.

Snapserver/snapclients for the streaming audio, 1 audio stream with mpd to be set as 24/7 music, 1 for podcasts, 1 for alerts.

Alerts interrupt both streams to play the alerts. PI 4 for the main audio stack, first speaker, 2nd PI zero w/pirate radio hat/2 5w speakers for the portable speaker that should run most of the day on battery.

PodFetch gets the podcasts, script creates a playlist each day to play the oldest podcasts first. Although kinda surprised PodFetch doesn’t seem to let me do this.

Once it all runs smoothly i’ll put PI Zero W’s/Speakers in the other room and then going to build a 7” esp32 display to allow selecting which speaker plays which stream. Maybe later do something where each stream plays a different genre.
