 The world is slipping ever closer to global war as North Korean combat forces are sent to support Russia in Ukraine.

Only a small group currently, but it highlights a few points.

- the continued waning of US power
- the strengthening of the Russia, China, North Korean and Iranian group
- countries such as North Korea don't fear the US as they once did

The time to prepare yourself and family for the consequences of a global war is now.

 Dealing with my Dads estate for Probate is really emotionally difficult.

 Unimaginable time for anyone, look after yourself.

 Check out Dr Ken Berry, if you haven't already. 
 A real insight into how unprepared most people are for an emergency.

The remote town of Broken Hill lost power due to a storm, backup generators failed after a couple of days. By this stage tge town was out of food, food shortages were widespread and people were filling the city centre in cars lining up for the only fast food factory in town that had back up power.
Locals were on the news lamenting that tge government wasn't doing anything.

Take care of your own preparedness so you don't need to rely on others.

 You should look at Meshtastic. 
 Cool, great skills to have. 
 No one's probably going to come looking, unlike in the 'free' West. 
 We used to piss of CB nerds, basically turn channels into radio stations, they'd get furious and try and find us, but we'd keep moving in our cars. Fun times. 
 But without government who would build the levies?.......

 We used old fish bait mixed with water. Man, we were cunts in the past 😂 
 Amazing. Elton's got some vision. 
 Elon, Elton also had some vision 😂 
 Waiting for the Aurora Australis......

 Thank you for your service 🫡

 Had some lower back spasms working out the other day and a bit of a headache this morning.

Consequently, I dropped the weights I carry in my backpack on my bushwalk today. Turned out to be a great choice. I felt so much lighter, more free, and I really enjoyed my time. Warm sun, getting exercise, saw a hawk and a Brown Snake.
My wife also chucked a sickie, so we had lunch together, our own eggs, poached on avocado toast. Now I'm having a coffee, contemplating how well I have it.
What a great day. Enjoy yours.

 Okay Tesla can you make one that looks like Bender Bending Rodriguez? 
 Make the horn a randomised comment. 
 People keep noting that Nostr is dead or that there are only a few of us on here. 

I know some of this is probably joking. However, for me I find my 'People' are appearing more and more. In the 18 months, or so, I've been on Nostr the Homesteader, Permaculture, Self-sufficiency, grow your own food community is growing and reaching a point where my feed can mostly be those people.

Let's be positive about Nostr, strength in numbers and diversity of content. This is the way.

 Cheers, mate. 
 Yes, you have to shift the balance of your follows, curate as some say.  
 Yes, it's getting more diverse and lots more art. 
 Just as in real life, I just don't engage with the hate.  
 For sure. I'm not a big art person, but I've seen work on Nostr I'd buy. 
 Yeah, that. Just two dozen idiots in an ehco chamber 😂 
 That's awesome. 
 It sure helps. 
 Probably less, we're obviously overconfident and there's one guy with 12 npubs. 
 My Dunbar Number is single digits, so not many 😂

 One of my all time favourite songs. 
 I hope you didn't get hit and that you're all OK. Crazy to see how bad a week you've had. 
 Yeah it's pretty gross from what I've seen.  
 Love it, awesome. I've been on earth for nearly half a century and I still look at the night sky in amazement. 
 What?! 😂 They tested that?! 
 I read that they can't even use 'trigger warning' anymore, as it triggers their weak minds, they use another warning, can't remember what it was.  
 Yes, I've never understood it. Not to be insensitive, but, life is hard. If you want to be an adult, you have to face some hard things. If you want to challenge yourself intellectually, at uni for example, you will have to face some hard truths, shocking history, terrible actions, but that is how you grow. Strength and resilience comes from facing these challenges and coming out the other side a good person, knowing that life is tough and unfair, but not letting that weigh you down. 
 My thoughts go out to all those Nostrlytes, and all Americans, in the path of the latest hurricane.

It's crazy to hear that those leaving the coast are running into tornadoes further in and then there's fema not allowing people to  deliver there own aid, wankers!

Stay safe, help those in need and keep us updated.

 My dad has made a Nostradamus type prediction yesterday.

Elon is setting himself up for a run for potus, in 2028 or 2032, and he'll be a real authoritarian.

It will be interesting to see how the next decade goes in the US.

#predictions #grownostr  
 Ah yes, very good point, South African. 
 Very true, that would prove quite a hurdle 😂 
 Nothing in the US surprises me, I'm still waiting for President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho 😂 
 Printer go brrrrrrrr for Elon. 
 Probably more dangerous that way, pulling the strings. 
 I love how their own definition of an Ancap actually sounds very reasonable 😂. They didn't even make it scary, idiots. 
 Hey, you should connect a lightning wallet, so that others can zap you sats. 
 Download 'Wallet of Satoshi' from any app store. An email address is your way to login if you get logged out.

In the wallet press receive. Find and copy the namenumber@walletofsatoshi address (your lightning wallet address)

Go to your Nostr client profile settings and paste it into the 'LN Address' box, then save.

That's it, let me know and I'll test if it works. Then you can zap and be zapped. 
 All good. Here's a few sats, so you can get started zapping. Enjoy. 
 Find some content you like and zap it. By holding the zap button ⚡️you can set your zap amounts.  
 Yes, it'll open up the wallet. You can set it for auto approve for small amounts, so my basic zap of 21 sats is automatic. I received 50 sats all good. Have fun, it's great to be able to actually share value for good content, can be addictive. 
 Try to press and hold on the zap button, that should let you enter amounts. Otherwise, experiment. 
 #31days

Technically October, but I'll extend it to today as the rest of the world is still in September, slow pokes.

Spent the morning trying to tame the yard, still lots to do, but it kept me busy. 
Thanks to everyone who provided kids words and encouragement over the last month, it has sometimes been tough.

#grownostr  
 Thanks for the opportunity, it was fun. Now I've just got to keep it going.  
 What if it’s not someone trying to control us but us wanting to be controlled? 
 Most people want to feel like they are protected and that someone else is making the hard decisions for them. They can't even lead in their own life. 
 And why we should stop wasting our time trying to convince the masses. We need to focus on our own lives, build alternative systems, build community with the like minded and some will see that and start to come over.
