Christopher’s Landing Page

If you are looking for me on social media, you can follow me in the Fediverse. I do not post all things publicly, so it is best to create an account on a Fediverse server or email me for an invitation to join my server. If you don’t know what this is, just ask me.

That Midwest Weather
If you are wondering what the weather in the #midwestUSA is like, today is a good example. At noon, 66°F, but in a few hours, it’ll feel like 14°F!

It’s Okay To Live A Life Others Don’t Understand
I took this screenshot a few years ago. I needed this today, a reminder that it’s ok not to be normal… Because I ain’t normal.

You Need Photo Storage Redundancy
Please share to help get awareness out. A story about how a person lost 25 years of his digital photos because of a gift card malfunction.
Stories like this is exactly why I run my own cloud and file storage.I have heard this same story too many times, sometimes it’s Apple, sometimes it’s Google, Sometimes it’s Facebook. But they end the same. 20ish years of photos, files, and precious moments lost and no one at these big companies to resolve it. Read it and then ask me how you can run your own hub. Even if your hub is a backup to your Apple/Google accounts.
#^20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple
Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and I have no recourse. Can you help? Email paris AT paris.id.au (and read on for the details). ❤️
Here’s how Apple “Permanently” locked my Apple ID.
I am writing this as a desperate measure. -
Where You’ll Find me in the Interwebs
As many of you know, I have multiple accounts in the Fediverse. I have tried Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Streams, Forte, Friendica, GoToSocial, Pleroma, WordPress Activity Plug-in, and many I can’t remember 🤣. After testing these for a few years, I have found Hubzilla to be the best solution for me.
Many of those other accounts have been deleted. Some have been left open for redundancy or backups. Please note that this account will remain my main account and I will only check my other accounts once in a while.
These will be my two main accounts going forward.

I Still Can’t Carry a Tune
I can say with the utmost certainty, though I spend hours upon hours driving and singing to the music, that my tone deaf vocals have not improved over the years. This is a scenario of where practice doesn’t always make perfect.

Giving Tuesday 2025
This year on Giving Tuesday, we are dreaming BIG! You can learn more about those dreams here: Dreaming Big with Sonia.
Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to radical generosity and reimagining a world built on that generosity and humanity.
We have donors who have already pledged to match all donations made on Giving Tuesday up to $18,329. This means that all donations up to $18,329 will be DOUBLED TODAY!
In just ONE DAY, we can raise $36,658 or more! With these additional funds, we will be able to expand our Intervention Program and reach more vulnerable children and families before they reach a complete crisis point.
Keep an eye on the Santiago Partnership social media accounts throughout the day to see updates on the progress toward our goal. We will also send an email out toward the end of the day to update you.

I’m Not A Gamer…. Yet
I am not a gamer……yet. I just bought a cheap gaming laptop so I can play with my son when I’m on the road. I really have no idea what I’m doing. 🤣 I should start streaming so you all have something to laugh at.

My Own Personal Digital Landing Page
I have created my own personal Digital Landing Page, circa 2023. It is https://itschristophers.life/ You can find many of my public posts here. These import from my main social media account. If you want to follow the conversations, you’ll have to go check out #^https://my.talesofmy.life/channel/christopher/ If you want to have conversations, it’s time to grow up and get a Fediverse account so we can interact. Don’t know what that is or how to get started, I’ll gladly help you.
Going forward, my Facebook account will only be used for guiding people to use organic, community-driven social media and software.
Personal life updates, thoughts and ideas, or blog posts will only be found on my Landing Page or My Tales of My Life social media.Source: https://my.talesofmy.life/item/45bd2371-6a61-48c2-a5ee-23b2e4fdff1d
