Karel od Martiny

Eduard fell asleep in the shopping cart. When Martina was posting this on her Instagram, I talked her into setting Radiohead as the music (I guess you know which one). BTW: I think I managed to sort out the internet problem. We will see nex few weeks how it goes :). Thank you all for all the suggestions.

CZECH post: Po předchozím videu "SPOLU", v němž jsme se zmínili o našich zkušennostech s psychedeliky, k nám přišel zajímavý dotaz: zda-li se nebojíme, že si nás ted lidé zaškatulkují jako tzv "smažky". https://youtu.be/6bmPFiVYF8I?feature=shared V dnešním videu proto děláme malé historicko-kulturní okénko u ohně, v němž si prozkoumáme co je to vlastně za škatulku, kdo do této škatulky spadá, s kým tuto škatulku budeme sdílet a zda-li to ve výsledku není naopak škatulka v níž člověk spíš chce být (po boku Federica Felliniho, Richarda Feynmena, Beatles, Steva Jobse, Billa Gatese, nebo velkých myslí 21. století vzešlých z Kalifornie a Sillicon Valley). Aneb je skutečně tak špatné být na jedné hromadě s ostatními lidmi, co využili psychedelika k osobnímu růstu, nebo je to ve výsledku vlastně docela dobrá společnost, možná mnohem lepší, než být na hromadě třeba s konzumenty alkoholu? Nakonec dojdeme k tomu, že jde spíš o nefunkčnost škatulek jako takových a nelze říct ani jedno. Pokud vás téma neoslovuje, ve videu jsou kapitoly, takže lze přeskočit rovnou na další otázku týkající se více vztahu a dodávky. Budeme se věnovat špíně a úklidu v dodávce, ale především i ve vztahu. DISCLAIMER: Nikomu nikdy nic nedoporučujeme, ale to je dost zřejmé ze samotného videa. Doufám, že téma psychedelik můžeme na dlouhý čas zase opustit a snad dnešní video ukáže, že celé toto téma ve výsledku není zas takové terno 🙂.

Looks like I'm gonna have to stop using NOSTR. It seems that in the last month or so (roughly since I started actively posting from my travels) NOSTR has eaten up so much data that it's financially unsustainable for me. I only operate on local 4G SIM cards when I travel and don't have access to public wifi very often - I'm not a digital nomad going from coffee shop to coffee shop and coworking space to coworking space, 95% of my time is spent somewhere in the woods or desert. I'm terribly sorry about this, as NOSTR is my favorite platform and if I had any real enthusiasm for growth anywhere, it was here (unlike Twitter and Facebook). So if anyone happens to have any ideas on how to avoid this huge data consumption (like only using 1 app? Or just on a laptop in a browser? Or somehow remotely? Or do some magic with relays?), I'd love to get back to actively posting on NOSTR. But I'm shutting down for now, because realistically I don't have the money for more internet this month, and next time it'll be a decision between food and internet and guess what wins based on the opinions of the rest of the family :D. So see you guys. For now...

We have another video. This time, for a change, more narration in pictures than words. WHICH MEANS FOR THE FIRST TIME I'VE CREATED ENGLISH SUBTITLES SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS VIDEO! Hooray! Do not forget to turn on subtitles... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omBBMec99LM Anyway, a lot of people have been asking me about showing our daily activities in the van. Although routine is quite hard to find when on the road, there are some things whose essence is, give or take, repetitive. We don't go shopping every Wednesday at the same supermarket down the street (each shopping is a whole new adventure), but the very core of the activity remains. So I hope we can show at least that core. Although in a week's time all these activities shown will probably be completely different and out of date. Ps: sorry for my strangely strangled voice, I was filming at night when everyone was asleep so I had to whisper; plus we've been on a rough ocean for many days now where all you can hear from morning to night are giant waves so the noise reduction is also taking a toll

So I am 30 now. Looking into the future. There's nothing in it. Just sand. Lots of sand... But also sun. I guess the sun is fine. #gettingold

Evening atmosphere. Incredibely calm valey. Infinite sandbox for kids. #Nomad #Nomadic #Nomadlife #Vanlife

Eat lunch and quickly head to the ocean. #foodstr

I tried a lot of desktop NOSTR clients those days. I ran into various little problems quite often (problem with video, problem with picture, problem with reacting etc...), but eventually I found what works best for me. First of all I have to give a big thanks towards @Alby, which I now use as a great temporary lightning wallet for both NOSTR and YouTube. At the same time, I love the fact that I have Alby as an extension in my browser and can freely browse the incredible number of NOSTR apps that have already been created without having to enter any codes anywhere (the codes have completely disappeared from my life, I don't even remember what they were called anymore, npub, nsec or something? Happy to leave them hidden in my keepassXC and never seeing them again) - a new level of user friendliness. Also thanks to this feature I could try almost all existing clients and at the same time discover things I didn't even know about (if you click on "apps" in Alby, you're in for a few hours ride across super NOSTR implementations with absolutely easy login everywhere :) ). If I use Alby, the internet is even more user friendly than the traditional social media sites (you log in everywhere with 2 magic clicks). Regarding clients, I still have a policy of using many to check my posts, what looks like where, etc. In the end, though, I eventually found my home in noStrudel.ninja. For me, absolutely the best on desktop (especially since I tweaked the appearance to my taste in settings). On mobile I use @Plebstr the most, but that may be purely out of habit, hard to say. I don't have Amethyst unfortunately, as I haven't managed to save up for a Google Pixel yet and need to use the old iPhone i found for free :).

Good morning, NOSTR! We slept in a teepee tonight. It was a bit cold (especially for Martina, who is breastfeeding and has to sleep with the kids under the same blanket, while the kids are constantly kicking and rolling around), but the kids love it. This is the first time we've built a teepee in Morocco. A donkey came to peek into the tent this morning. BTW, I'm trying to post a self-hosted video so my posts don't take up too much space on free platforms like nostr.build (because I really don't understand how they fund the place and I always feel guilty when I upload several videos a day). We'll see how it goes, if it doesn't work out I'll be glad for advice :). https://karelodmartiny.cz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-02-19-08.17.43.mov #Morocco #Teepee #Nomad #Nomadic #Vanlife #Kids #Parenting #Unschooling #Worldschooling

Does anyone happen to know if there is something like HeroHero via bitcoin/lightning (I would like for my youtube channel in future)? Something where people make a membership and assign to automatically send SATs to their favorite creators every month (without dending it every month manually - like automatic subscription)? Is that even technically possible? Maybe with something like alby? What about BTC Pay Server?

After lunch a turtle came to drink :) #nomad #nomadic #vanlife #morocco https://video.nostr.build/ce987befcb1e22400c2ffc89e69d8d21646c006bba6593efef4b91ae8dac5ab6.mp4

Good Morning from the Atlas mountains. The first thing to do in the morning is to clean up the place around us. Moroccans really do have a different limits regarding what's okay to throw away in nature and what's not (shards and baby diapers on a daily basis). But that's okay. I don't like the mess? I'll go and clean it up. That's the end of it. There's no need to moralise all around. #GM #Plebstr #Nomad #Nomadism #Vanlife #Kids

Good Moroccan morning NOSTR :). I love it when we run out of gas and have to make breakfast on the stove. It gives us a nice wood mission in the morning (to wake up), warmth, and a cozy atmosphere :). #plebstr #coffee #coffeechain #plebchain #gm

Today I rode my bike to the Moroccan market (souk) to get some vegetables, fruits and meat (especially strawberries) for the kids. When I was coming back, I met two camels not far from our van parked between the sand dunes. https://video.nostr.build/d87bef711b66762fb1e87af1032dc01968cfab22cfb5309d6c229a6ba9654f54.mp4

The kids decided we needed better camouflage for the trip to the desert.

Voluntarism, anarchy and pacifism are difficult to contradict. If one argues for a centralized solution, for the state, or even for democracy, one automatically puts oneself in the position of a violent person forcing his monopoly on meaning of life (and the right way of living) on others. One has to admit and openly acknowledge one's ego, which is convinced that it knows better than others what is good for them. So yes - one can argue against voluntarism, but if one wants to stand the test of consistency it is only through a clear statement "yes, I am a violent person, I know this about myself and I think violence upon others not so clever as I am is right", which is very hard to acknowledge. But without this statement, in my observation, the argument with the voluntarist cannot be won, as the statist will always be caught out for wanting to force his beliefs violently on others, even though he hides it behind peace, love and freedom. It is the same as advocating violence in child-rearing. Yes, you can take the position that slaps and broken kettles are good for the child (because you think you know better than the child what is good for him), but you have to admit that you are violent person and you think violence is ok. There is no other way to defend it, otherwise you will always fail the test of consistency.

CZECH POST: https://youtu.be/sFmC7pENLkQ Dnes jsme v naší nové sérii videí s názvem "SPOLU" společně s Martou odpovídali na 2 dotazy. První dotaz se týkal tzv. bad tripů a sloužil jako odrazový můstek pro dotaz druhý, který se týkal polyamorie. DISCLAIMER: Nejsme polyamorici. Při přemýšlení o polyamorii jsme ovšem dospěli k některým zajímavým závěrům o našem vztahu a o lásce obecně.
