It’s good to see that #Patreon are making moves to enable creators to slowly move away from big social media. You can now Live Stream directly on Patreon and publish your work to a larger audience not limited to your own followers. Let’s see where this leads.

Doing an update to my home #NAS.

It’s no wonder the people no longer trust mainstream media - www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025…

I’ve been playing a free game on #Meta #Quest3 called #Ironstrike - it’s quite the workout. Finally not getting dizzy with the headset anymore.

Updating my #Discourse instance. Requires SSH for these updates. Glad AI is here to help with reading through the output for any errors I need to rectify lol. The old days of scanning forums for ages are gone.

I’m interested in signing back up for #WorldAnvil and #WorldBuilding the world that is on my mind, while writing all about it and maybe coming up with a book - who knows?

Another black coffee this morning has me feeling great. Ready for a 6:00 AM morning watch house shift, and then a day off for the #MelbourneCup public holiday. Bring it on!

This week was a good one, just not much to spill publicly. No bad days, and I’ve been focusing on my fitness. Looking forward to what’s next! 💪 #WeeklyRecap #FitnessJourney

Ok, now that I have owned by the #GoogleBudPros and the #AppleAirpodPros I can confirm the Apples win by a long shot. The active noise cancellation is next level, but the pass-through is also awesome. Almost feels like I am not wearing headphones at all.

Who’s waiting to find out what happens on November 3rd when this #3I/ATLAS appears from the other side of the sun?

Weekly Recap - Week 42: https://samuellison.com/2025/10/29/weekly-recap-week.html

The week included a family-focused break with home improvements, a transition to the Apple ecosystem for productivity and photography, and a trip to the Mornington Peninsula for relaxation and exploration.

My brother purchased me a #MetaQuest as a thank you gift after giving him my desktop PC out of the blue. I experimented with #SpatialVideo for the first time and it blew my mind away. I am recording all my video as Spatial now with my #iPhone17Pro.

Two videos of some #rabbits at #BrimbankPark yesterday out in nature. I have a few more wildlife videos I need to edit and share :) https://samuellison.com/2025/10/17/two-videos-of-some-rabbits.html

Just got myself an #AppleWatch. Seems I’ve gone all in with the Apple Ecosystem.

Weekly Recap - Week 39: https://samuellison.com/2025/10/01/weekly-recap-week.html

A week full of adventures. I decided to invest into the Apple Ecosystem with a new phone and Macbook Pro. We visited two zoos last week with family and friends, and even got to go to the AFL Grand Final, LIVE! Snoo...

Got the Macs!
I went ahead and purchased my new #macbook and #iphone. Spent the majority of my afternoon going through all the settings and getting these things ready for use. Exciting!

Can’t wait for the week off next week. I need some more time out in #nature to get more photos and practice #birding and #sound recording.

On another note, I’ve decided to invest into the #apple ecosystem and will get a #Macbook in the coming weeks. Goodbye huge #PC case.

Been looking into the #Apple ecosystem. I’ve been a Linux and Windows guy for years and even my phone is a pixel. But would anyone recommend switching into the apple ecosystem and taking advantage of the benefits that offers?
