Do something small everyday with consistency and when you look on the long run we will have accomplished a lot. A few examples are: read ten pages of a book everyday and in a year will be over 3000 pages or a video course with 30 hours so you study one hour a day and the course will be finished in a month, or even clean a room of your house per day and in a week your home will be cleaned.

I’m going to talk about the social networks the centralized form and the decentralized one. Decentralization itself is a extensive topic so what I will talk about here is the federation aspect of a decentralized network. Think email. I’m giving Instagram a break. I’ve stopped posting there many years ago but I’ve been consuming content there for a while and at some points, it was to an amount that I ended up finding unhealth.

It’s the start of the winter here in the south hemesphere and the only thing that I can think is: When it will be over. I am not a big fan of winters. I prefer the autumn (fall) or spring since both have a mild temperatures. In theory today was the shortest day with sunlight of the year. The solstice is when the sun is either in the northerly or the southerly in it’s relative to earth.

We live in the rural area and near our house many years ago eucalyptus trees were planted. This ended up been a mistake and last week we had to ask someone to come around and cut those trees. The trees were gigantic at least 20 meters tall. There is something about a tree so tall like that when they coming down, it shakes you inside. The tree is there one day and the other day is gone.

Ever since I learned about these communities organized services and tools hosting I have been considering to start one but also thinking that the internet would be a very different place if that was the norm. These are communities like sdf.org, that is completing 35 years this year, snopyta.org, disroot.org, the tilde ones and many others. They are all privacy focused, some offer email, others offer blog hosting, chat and conference servers and some offer almost everything one would need to not only have an online presence but also to work and produce online.

My father in law makes some beautiful digital paintings, and I have been talking to Gabi about how we could help him sell his paintings. The technical part of creating a website to sell his art wouldn’t be difficult, it may take some time since I haven’t done anything like that before. The hard bit in my mind is how to promote it. Our first thought was Instagram, and we believe as Instagram users ourselves we know how this could possibly be done.
