We've been living in the motorhome for the past 2 days. We worked so much these past weeks on the motorhome, and moving out of the old house and all that....it was so tiring. But from now on things are all about getting used to this new lifestyle. We will be staying in Spain for a week or so in the motorhome then we have to go to Romania for a month. Only after that we will start the "tromhome" living properly.
There are ups and downs, advantages and disadvantages. On one hand you get amazing views and to be able to go anywhere basically...and still have your home, is amazing. We slept last night in this nature place, so cold outside, stars crisp, quiet, amazing. Inside warm and cozy.
But then we do not have enough solar power and batteries so I can barely use my laptop. The internet is limited too. This is a completely different lifestyle for me.

You have to go to the bathroom, you also have to "manage" the waste. When you park you have to not do it in the shade so you get some solar. Also, make sure you are allowed to park where you want to. You have to fill up your water tank, also empty it. :D
Many things to do. But life is short and I want to try new things ;)
It will take a bit of time to get into some kind of routine with my projects and lifestyle. But I am sure it will work out.
To have this earthship and go places is an amazing thing. A dream I had since I was a kid :D.
Anyway, not much time for TROM for the next 1-2 weeks, but after that the entire December I will focus on it, updates, videos, things, plans.
Nuomonės keitimas nėra nenuoseklumas, tai - augimas. Tai vienas iš nedaugelio tikrai neįvertintų gyvenimo džiaugsmų - nuspręsti, kad tai, ką anksčiau laikei evangelija, nebetinka.
Changing your mind isn’t inconsistency; it’s growth. It’s one of the few genuinely underrated joys of being alive, to decide that what you once held as gospel no longer fits. 🧵
Gyvenimas techniškai yra pilnas begalės galimybių, tačiau dauguma mūsų renkasi tas pačias tris: atidėliojame, per daug galvojame ir užsisakome maistą išsinešti. Filosofai tai vadina žmogaus būkle. Vairuotojai - "darbo saugumu".
Life is technically full of endless possibilities, but most of us just choose the same three: procrastinate, overthink, and order takeout. Philosophers call this ‘the human condition.’ Delivery drivers call it ‘job security.'
Been playin around with #ComfyUI and #SDXL models for a few months now, what a fun tool. Lately I've been rather obsessed with using it to creating some ""paintings"" that I have floating around in my head. I learned most of the technique from a fella on YouTube called Rob Adams, with a bit of side reading to figure out what some of the things were I needed to play with to get what I want from his method.
I start with a basic two-tone mask that I crudely draw to give the model a main direction for the things I describe, then add a noise layer on top of it. From there it moves on to the first pass which takes an overly (#ollama) complicated series of concatenated input prompts and gives me a very rough (1024²) idea of where I'm

From there it moves on to the first pass which takes an overly (#ollama) complicated series of concatenated input prompts and gives me a very rough (1024²) idea of where I'm headed. Then I crop a 16:9 section from that and scale it up a bit; this is also where the most of the color tweaking is done. Once I'm happy with this ""starting point"", I pass it on to another run through a different set of models to get my final image. Once I adjust the lighting on that one, it get's upscaled again for use as merely a wallpaper, maybe I'll print em out one day ...maybe.
Finally, today I've gotten my image composition layout to work the way I want, so I figure I'd share a few samples (1/4 scale).
They look great. I obviously get curious about the prompts too.
As a sidenote: your images are 25-30mb. Each. In most of the services where I can see your post I get served a lo-fi representation of the images. Only when I click the separate images do I get the full resolution and detail, however they are much larger than the screen size I have access to.
It would probably be a good thing to resize/compress images for social sharing in a controlled fashion, that does the images justice, and perhaps link off to the full-size images if that is what you wish to share. Just a thought.
Thanks, it's been loads'a fun so far! The prompts for txt2img can be quite finicky, that's why I've added in the LLM to serve as a translator from human to robot.
And thanks for the heads up on the size, I hadn't bothered to ever check if images get autocompressed on upload to here ...guess they don't.
More aid workers have been killed in 2024 than in any other year, UN says apnews.com/article/ocha-humani… More aid workers, health care staffers, delivery personnel and other humanitarians have been killed in 2024 than in any other single year, the United Nations reported Friday. Bloodshed in the Middle East has been the single-biggest cause of the 281 deaths among humanitarians globally this year, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"An Israeli attack on Oct 25 killed cameraman Ghassan Najjar and engineer Mohammad Reda, who worked for Al Mayadeen, and Al-Manar TV’s camera operator Wissam Qassim" Human Rights Watch found “no evidence of fighting, military forces, or military activity in the immediate area at the time of the attack”...“the Israeli military knew or should have known that journalists were staying...in the targeted building”.
I went to Slovenia to participate in yearly maintenance of the artificial islands. These islands were made specially for the conservation of birds which otherwise would go extinct. The problem began when the Dam was build on the Drava river, so all natural habitats for birds been flooded. I enjoyed this trip and project a lot, much more info in the video.
