Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm doing at the moment (haven't quite got to door-to-door though - maybe it will come to that). Those are some good ideas for locations for placing ads - thanks. I'm out of that headspace and need to get back in it!

I can't help noticing how much work is coming in to my peers from instagram though. I'm getting the impression that it has become the standard medium/conduit for professionals.

You should be able to do it via USB too if you allow data transfer in USB settings on Android when you plug it into your Debian machine. Also Syncthing. I've been doing it these ways for years. No hacking needed.

 

How do I make money - self-employed - without using corporate social media?

I was coasting along on an extremely minimal income and I embraced an ethical position of using only privacy-compatible technology.

I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.

By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.

I also struggle to bring myself to cooperate with powers which are working to undermine my child's opportunity to have a good life.

Would appreciate your thoughts

I use Musify from F-droid for what your describing.

To be honest though I only really listen to my offline collection and radio/internet radio for discovering new music.

Check out The Indie Beat. It's an internet radio station playing music from artists on the Fediverse, like Radio Free Fedi used to. All my favourite discoveries from the last couple of years have been by or via Fedi artists.

What is your apptracker?

I think almost any popular DSLR from the last 10–15 years, combined with the sort of zoom lens that you've already mentioned will be a sufficient choice for a newcomer.

Just make sure that it's in good working order if buying used and if you have a choice look for one with a lower shutter count. Another thing I'd suggest is to get something where you'll still be able to use your lenses if/when you upgrade.

I think if I were you I would get the Nikon D3300, 35mm 1.8 (nice background blur for close subjects i.e portraits) and a cheap kit lens.

You can also save money by ditching the Adobe suite and using Rawtherapee, ART or Darktable to process your raw image files and GIMP for the rest of your editing. These are all fantastic pieces of photography software.

Have a great time shooting in Paris!

I'm not a programmer (don't know about code) but appreciate this ethos from a user's perspective, so:

  • LosslessCut (trims, combines and separates videos without reencoding)
  • Xpano (stitches photographs/makes panoramas, easy, just works)
  • Colorway (on-screen eye-dropper for colour; gives hex code and combinations)
  • Wordbook (offline dictionary)
  • Breathing (it's just breathing)
  • Blanket (nice background sounds)

Yes please! Would you mind also sending me a message when you do, in case I don't see the post? Thanks :)

That is some serious battery capacity.

Based on the figures in the article the boats battery must weigh nearly 30 tonnes! It is a big boat though.
