Just playing around with #Blender for a bit today. #grownostr #3d #3dmodeling #render #geometrynodes

My workflow for posting on nostr. It's a huge pain in the ass but I end up having less mistakes in my posts and my images that I share are safe from meddling. First off, I write my nostr notes using the nextcloud notes app. I have a template file prefilled with hashtags. For some reason Amethyst sucks for editing text as you inevitably end up deleting text that you wanted to keep (devs should fix this) Then if I want to post a picture I use the Image Resizer app

Image Toolbox | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Powerful image editor: crop, filter, convert, resize, compare, and more!

because nobody wants to download a 2mb+ file just to see a pic of my wooden mushrooms. I then use the FTPClient app

FTPClient | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

A simple FTP, FTPS and SFTP client for Android

to upload them to my server at https://cdn.kolomona.com/media/images/nostr Then I visit that URL and copy the link location of the image which I then post into my notes app. Next I will modify the hashtags to reflect the topic appropriately, and post the note. I also run my own relay at nostr.libreleaf.com The result is that I am in control of my nostr experience, my images are always in my control and my notes are backed up on my own relay. This is a monstrous pain but freedom and liberty are not free. I look forward to a day where amethyst integrates with other media APIs so that I have the option of choosing my own server when posting images or video. Any thoughts on how to make this easier is most welcome. #Amethyst #grownostr #LibreLeaf #nostr #soverign #selfhosting

Working in the fiat mine today. I'm tempted to buy this restaurant, even though I'm pretty burned out with the restaurant business and I'm fairly broke at the moment. #grownostr #restaurant #ozarks #business

How hard would it be to integrate the lbry protocol into Amethyst? I'm thinking that it would help with media storage and be true to the concept of nostr as lbry is decentralized. I realize that we can already embed Odysee links, but Odysee is censored whereas the underlying lbry protocol isn't. Maybe Amethyst could have some sort of plugin system, that way it could be maintained by the plugin author rather than the Amethyst devs. If the plugin system is well thought out a plugin could be cross app, Amethyst, Damus, etc. Plugins could be funded by zaps and / or zap splits #grownostr #lbry, #odysee, #amethyst, #devs #nostr #development #nostrplugins

(Sorry for the repost I forgot the hashtags) I'd like to send out a huge thank you to @BA for helping me cater my daughter's wedding these past 4 days. He helped me to prep the food and he manned the smoker all day while my eldest daughter, my grandkids and I finished cooking and assembling the entrees. He also cleaned the air BNB for me while I drove my son to the airport. I could not have pulled this event of without him. Here's to good friends. 🥂 I got him setup on nostr, but he's not into posting. Maybe send him some love and show him what an awesome community exists here. @BA #grownostr #friends #catering #wedding
