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.

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?

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.

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 :).

2024-10-20T10:22:11Z

There are also some downsides to the nomadic hippie life. For example, this morning we had a long discussion about whether to buy two tickets for our very, very favorite band Sigur Rós, who will be playing in Prague next year. Should we not make an exception out of sentimentality? Shouldn't we treat ourselves to something nice once in a while? When we said it like that, our eyes glazed over with temptation, but... sometimes things are not what they seem to be (this is not a "look how poor we are" begging post, read on till the end :) )

After all, we calculated that the 2 tickets would cost us 1/3 of our monthly expenses (for the whole family, including 2 children and a dog). Which means that the choice is suddenly very different. Either we spend this money for 3 hours of beautiful music we love, or we will be able to afford more than 10 days of effortless living somewhere in Turkey or Greece (where we are going this year).

After all the counting we found out that it is not really a downside for us. Because if you imagine that during these 10 days we will probably make 2 campfires full of beautiful music from hippies (lasting much longer than 3 hours), we will swim in the sea, we will have a nice time with children, we will meet new people, we will eat 10 lunches, 10 dinners and 10 breakfasts, and (if you look at it in a strictly chemical way) we will probably stimulate our dopamine and serotonin much more (yes, in smaller doses, but spread in a larger amount of nice little moments), suddenly the choice is without questions.

So yes, there are downsides to the nomadic life. Yes, we cannot afford music concerts, cinema, theater, restaurants etc. But the question is if you really consider it a downside after all. On the one hand, we will never be able to afford to see one of our favorite bands, but on the other hand, we are voluntarily (!) trading that for something we value more. And if you do this conscious counting of your values, it can never be considered a drawback. The only thing is that everyone might get different results (because values are always subjective) and some results are generally considered by society as "poor/bad" while some results as "rich/good", but in the end the only thing that matters is what you consider it to be, not what society does. And that goes both ways, our counting also is not the "right one", because it simply might not work for you. For you the result might be "better work hard 340 days a year and be able to afford any concert I want" and if you choose this voluntarily, it is awesome and we are happy for you. And even if you decide to go to the beautiful concert and we do not, neither of us is loosing. None of us is limited in our options. We both just make conscious choices based on our different values and everything is just the way it should be :).

So is it a downside after all? It cannot be by definition. If we really wanted to go to concerts more than what we have now, we always could sell our campervan, create a company (in other words exchange our time for money) and make as much money as we want. But we do not. Because our counting has different values in it.

You always need to do your own counting, because nobody can decide this for you. You yourself are the biggest expert on your life values and you can never delegate this activity to anybody else. Because nobody else knows all your needs, all your history, and all your context like you do. And until we invent some magical technology, nobody will ever be able to. Not your psychologist, not your parents, not your favorite youtuber, not us, not even the smartest person on the planet, no one will ever have as much information about yourself as you do to make the right calculations about life decisions. And when you realize this, when you turn off all the noise of "what should be right according to society, friends, parents, or anyone else who isn't you," you can never be poor as a result, because every one of your quid pro quo deals will ultimately be profitable. No matter if it outwardly look quite the opposite in the eyes of others.

TLDR: Is nomadic life limiting? Everything is limiting. You always trade something for something. You just have to choose what you value more.

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.

2024-10-18T10:18:39Z

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 :).

2024-10-17T18:47:05Z

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 do not completely agree with everything (he has different definition of individualism than I have, so I needed to translate it in my head during reading), but for relationship and better understanding of partner and even myself (and my own mistakes), it was good.
