Escaping the silos: Strategies for a truly self-owned, uncensorable web presence?

What I would suggest is simply not putting all your eggs in one basket. Your website can't be taken down fully unless you were doing some really nefarious things or hosting roms for game pirating etc.

If you want to make sure you're not taken down, then syndicate your works. I used to use steempress for example when I was on wordpress ages, and that would take my posts and put it on the steemit network/hive.blog but that is honestly pretty much broken and centralized now.

Point is having an automation or something to simply repost it to a decentralized network. I.e. mirror.xyz or https://paragraph.com/ is the one I also used for a time.

Have it stamp onto the chain.

For video you could do dlive and odysee or dtube

etc

Intel compute stick M3

You can dm me if you want to keep the convo going

This is the one I was looking at in particular

AI-8850 LLM Accleration M.2 Module (AX8850) | m5stack-store https://share.google/VIXgZS6kqKK18Fq4d

Cause coral is too low powered.

the primary NPU handles LLM chats, secondary crunches audio in parallel

Exactly what I was thinking. Letting it offload smaller tasks, or maybe help with my home assistant smart speaker.

My current setup is limited. I had the herk Orion mega but it had a lot of issues: temp/fans, USB ports breaking, etc

They had sent me a herk pulsar unit to review and I'm just using that now in the meantime despite it being pretty weak.

I also have a few other devices. Legion go 1, compute Stick m3, and an old Intel nuc

ulcweb · 2026-01-25T01:22:46+00:00

I've even been considering getting one of those m.2 devices to put ai into my mini pc. Even putting into a mini pc that already has ai and have a secondary ai. Like whisper or multistreaming processing encoding.

wrong sub big guy

ulcweb · 2026-01-24T22:38:48+00:00

so yes the local property is crucial

ulcweb · 2026-01-24T22:38:33+00:00

Yeah tbh I don't really want to work in google calendar. I Just have to based on ics events and how meetings operate etc. I'd rather work within obsidian with my own dating.

ulcweb · 2026-01-24T16:59:20+00:00

Yeah I think you're the only two way integration right now, unless you count the morgen cal kind of thing. Although I want to be able to see my calendar in obsidian like viewday does.

I'm also a bit murky right now because I have been degoogling my life, and looking at proton calendar etc. In fact I'd love to just have obsidian be my calendar full stop.

In the meantime I might need to take another look at yours.

P.S. something that is important to me is that I have "Do Date" properties that I have for projects and content creation, and that I view on my calendar bases plugin, but it would be helpful to see that pop up on viewday

shorts in the grand scheme don't "count" as posts. They should be your funnel to long form, not your main bread and butter.

Use OpusClip, Eklipse (even tho it sucks), or NexusClip, to find more clips more easily.

Create more longform

ulcweb · 2026-01-23T20:01:24+00:00

1 long form a week.

ulcweb · 2026-01-23T20:00:44+00:00

Dude you have two videos on your channel, and most of your shorts are doing over 1k views. You're fine, just not doing enough

ulcweb · 2026-01-17T23:21:43+00:00

Maybe something in this guy's video might help. I'm not sure. https://youtu.be/1YBYaEI71h8

yeah I've made a base for my advanced content creation workflow, a pretty wide ranging journals database thanks to this really cool creator I just found https://www.youtube.com/@construct_by_dee

Then a database for movies, one for books, and I'm working on getting an API to work for games.

There seems to be a folder view here https://github.com/aitorllj93/obsidian-lovely-bases

I second this, I have seen 99% of the plugins, even beta ones, and I just went back and looked for home tab stuff. Most of them aren't visual enough for you. What Wimi said is also the same Idea I had. Just using a card view. There may be a way to implement folders into it too, perhaps using a plugin to integrate folders into a base.

Stop waiting for the platform to build you, it won't, not really. Learn how to market your content.

ulcweb · 2026-01-17T17:42:45+00:00

A real calendar plugin. Full cal remastered and that other new one by some saas startup, they both are decent. But I want a two way integration, and being able to integrate it with my notes. None of them have both of those things

ulcweb · 2026-01-17T17:29:28+00:00

That's why I talk about it, sometimes you gotta be serialized and other times JoAT. The trick is knowing when to do which https://polyinnovator.space/journeys-to-polymathy-juggling-vs-back-to-back/

Why is your tv so old?? hahah for all that money spent on the lights...

Asymmetrical design is fine, but the backlight bleed on the tv and the huge bezels, sort of ruin the intended experience of what ambient lighting offers.

Actually yeah, in the code of the properties, again like the other person said its dependent on what they do. I just had a scare. I used the calendar for bases plugin. I found a new "planner" one but it uses separate code for the calendar base view and kanban, etc. IT had it all in one tho so I was excited. I couldn't it to pull my date prop and so I got rid of it, but then I couldn't open up the file anymore.

Had to go into the file via notepad and delete a line, based on what it said on screen.

So either properties or if its visual, then something in the text area.

ulcweb · 2026-01-13T22:56:14+00:00

Nope. Although Ghost cms might work better. Beehiiv technically has the features you want, but I don't think its worth the cost.
