A short addendum to Part I of my Travelogue:

I realize I didn’t mention much about what I’m doing for work as I live the digital #nomad lifestyle. I'm still a software developer freelancing for @whitefusion.

I’m very thankful I’m able to make a living—challenging certainly in this crazy Tech Industry season we’re in—as a remote worker. And it’s been a matter for pride for me that I can work in almost any conceivable environment, such as…

Jared WhiteHow I Work as a Digital Nomad

IT’S HERE! 🥳

Part I of my #nomad #travel (b)logue. Hear the thrilling tales of my many adventures exploring the grand vistas of the Pacific Northwest…er, well, you’ll have to wait until the next installment for some of that. 😉

But yes, here is my unfiltered, occasionally humorous, ~~rarely~~ always interesting record of the first couple of weeks of living as a digital nomad.

Jared WhiteA Nomad’s Pacific Northwest Travelogue, Part I

I’m in the midst of writing my first travelogue installment to publish since I embarked on the #nomad lifestyle, and I’m quickly realizing I don’t really have any template, any “grid” to follow.

I suppose I could search the web for what other people have written and copy that. However I worry that in doing so, I’ll end up simply trying to sound like those other people.

My hope to offer up something frank, honest, raw, and hopefully enjoyable for the most part…

If your server disappeared tomorrow with no ability to export your follower graph, how would you rebuild it?

If you do a server move, what happens to your post history?


Widespread adoption of Nomadic Identity, if it ever happens, may help with this.

I am sure you already know this, but for other readers, these two 2017 articles explain how Nomadic Identity works in Hubzilla, which is based on the Nomad/Zot protocol.

Mike Macgirvin recently got Nomadic Identity working on ActivityPub too.

Unfortunately, the ActivityPub world keeps pretending that Mike Macgirvin and his work does not exist (Nomadic Identity has been around and working in Hubzilla for roughly a decade).

There's also OpenWebAuth (Federated Single Sign On). As Sean Tilley explains in this March 2024 article, Nomadic Identity and OpenWebAuth together can enable network resilience, censorship resistance, and ease of migration.

No idea whether Nomadic Identity, OpenWebAuth, conversation containers, etc. will ever get widespread adoption. At present, the user base of software such as Hubzilla, Forte etc. (which have these features) is negligible. And at least in case of Hubzilla (which I am using), the UI and UX needs a lot of work; don't know about Forte (which is based on ActivityPub).

And yes, all the other problems with the Fediverse that you listed will still remain. At this point, I doubt if the Fedi will ever become socially and politically relevant.

@gkmizuno@mas.to It's not China squeezing the orange menace. Canadian Premier Carney organized Europe and Japan and then told the guy with mental health issues they were going to slowly sell all their bonds it he didn't straighten up and fly right. That first little dip was a small demonstration.

China on the other hand halted all exports of rare metals that are absolutely necessary for progress. No place else to get them.

What happens when you feel like you have jet lag but it’s #Nomad lifestyle lag? 🥴

When you’re car camping, there’s not a lot of “veg” time unless you intentionally remember to do that. Even just chilling out in some grand location with a breathtaking vista can feel a bit like work, because your brain is so active. It’s simply too much stimulation.

I felt like a zombie all morning. 🧟‍♂️

But I really forced myself to take a slower pace…

Jared WhiteLearning How to Rest (Again)

I feel pretty silly that I’m a grown man, in my 40s, living on the west coast of the U.S. of A., and I’ve *never* been to the Grand Canyon nor have I ever been to Yellowstone! I’ve also lived in Oregon for close to a decade now and I still haven’t been to Crater Lake!

One of the reasons I’m so thrilled to be on my #nomad #travel journey is I can *finally* start crossing off bucket items like this. 😍
