Dare I say it, deepfakes have triggered an era of human questioning the actual reality of things right in front of your face. I am curious about folk you are truly off-grid i.e. no smartphone, no internet connection and purely using cash for stuff. Making one’s life inconvenience hardly seems worth the effort, but I still long for a Faraday Jacket.
Quietness
Like many, I dislike the winter season. The lack of sunlight and cold, wet weather makes me want to go into hibernation. So preparation is the key and this year it’s about basics, good transportation and a toasty warm wardrobe.
I’ve started a new chapter and there are still so many open real life issues to deal with. Meanwhile, I’ve started my journey around Mount Yotei exploring, hunting and living a story I can really lose myself in. At this point in time, I’m 5 times happier than I was 2 months ago.
Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of the spirit.
Ecclesiastes 4:6
print(“Error: Path not found.”)
Something, the path ahead is truly unclear. I try to see this as an opportunity to explore even though humans are now faking or supplementing their own intelligence with Ai creating a dull, false sense of “know-how”. I’m not an Ai hater but over reliance on these tools is surely likely to dumb us down.
I’m on the path to upgrade my wisdom by reading more, doing lab work, watching demos and tinkering with tools I’ve never used before. Some of it is boring but I just need 10% of it to embed into my muscle memory and hopefully give me more ideas and back up my creative thinking.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4
Don’t hate the player
Months of self-denied game play has served nothing more than creating a mild ting of animosity towards my haters. Well, the term haters is a bit harsh as they are very close individuals to me.
The promise of Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2 DLC 2025 has lured me back to the game and this time the temptation is to return to Brooklyn itself.
Back to the beginning.
PS5 has been dusted off, updated, base game installed and ready for DLC – May 27th 2025.
The Post Office Protocol
I have detected a distinct reluctance and avoidance to blog anything for months now.
An unrealistic fear that it will make a difference.
This is my jotting space for general nonsense but somehow, I have inherited the view, like so many walking the social media corridors, that it’s better to view than like.
Turned off my LinkedIn visibility for now so stop looking. Turned off spell check, Turned off Ai, Turned off GPS, human intelligence now available.
Post Office Protocol email (now obsolete) apart from being vulnerable forced the user into excellent digital hygiene and habits. Mailbox backup, exports were highly recommended and used as the downloaded email were erased from the email service or the mailbox capacity would fill up as back then storage capacity would be less than 1GB.
Nowadays a 50GB mailbox is common so users have neglect 20,000+ unread messages with no impact and seldom consider backup or archiving.
