PowerUp Day 💪 Delegation Giveaway
🚨🧨💥 Engagement is Required ❗❗
🍺 Relaxing Time
The "after New Year" weather was kind of crapy on the first two weeks, and only after getting back to work things started getting better.
We did enjoy a few days at the awesome Paraparaumu beach, with amazing weather, 17-22 C degrees water (depending if you go deep or stay in the shallow parts).
On this beach, you can get quite far on medium to low tide...
The iPhone can take some great "macros"...
And after a few tries, I managed to pull an acceptable panorama, just to give you a sense of where I was taking the picture from. And this was not even the farthest you can get... water was under my knees still.
Some of you might have seen this picture already, but there you go...
But throughout all of January, I was still kind of looking for more. Maybe after the kids go back to school I and my soul can spend some alone time either somewhere road-tripping, at the beach or just enjoying the sun from the comfort of home.
So, in the spirit of looking for something more, this weekend I have decided to revive the fishing kayak (slow as hell, and I don't even use it to fish... 🤦♂), give it a good wash and jump into the ocean!
The water was like a mirror, which is very rare for Wellington.
It provides perfect conditions for these kinds of things, as long as some boats or water jetskis don't decide to ruin the view.
Weather wise, it was not super open in the sun, but that was actually great because you can easily toast in New Zealand summer.
The wind eventually started after a while... and that "flat mirror" was gone.
Whenever you decide to Kayak you need to keep watch for the changes in weather (it can change quite quickly), especially wind, and make a good decision on which direction you want to go, in case the wind decides to push against you.
In the distance, there was quite a bit of rain, and because it was already blowing from the south, this was my sign to come back.
The rain was catching up... but managed to escape.
This was the trip.
🧐 My new upcoming project!
I have bought an Orange Pi 5 Ultra. You can check its details over here.
The main reason for this version was the fact that it has LPDDR5 and the Rockchip (RK3588) looks a bit more beefier than the Raspberry Pi one (it has 4 extra cores of an A55, 1MB more of L3, plus an NPU and PCIe 3.0). So lets see...
For now, I have added some heatsinks (just to feel how much this thing heats, not definitive) and some legs. I have also bought a 256GB eMMC, so I should have enough to start playing with this thing.
 |  |
|---|
It also has an NPU that I want to start discovering what things I can do with this thing.
If this thing has great potential, I already have something even beefier under my radar... and I only spotted this brand (Radxa) after buying the Orange Pi, otherwise, I think I would have ordered the Radxa version, which is more my stile...
The Orion O6 BEAST!
https://radxa.com/products/orion/o6
I have a lot of testing to do on the Orange Pi, but I have a feeling that this thing (the Orion O6) would be an amazing board for a lower-power Full Hive node. But I need to first understand the latency of the memory to these CPUs (and if they can beat the Intel/AMD ones of intensive memory operations). For web stuff, I suspect these are faster, but let's see. More when I can!
If anyone out there has tested compiling Hive on ARM64, let me know... I know @gtg played with some really tiny and low-power Zotac board before, to which I found way later on but got me brewing about buying something very tinny too (at least for a witness).
🎲 My X-Reach Out project
Totally something just for fun, but because I got nailed by X and forgot to cancel my subscription for an ENTIRE YEAR!, I was kind of left with something without much value (at least for the time I have).
So, I decided to make up some value and change the strategy a bit to see if I could reach out to more people. For now, I need to tag along the people paying for Premium as I understood (although I suspect that X might change rules halfway again soon, once they release whatever "new way of paying users").
How can you help?
If you have an X account follow @forkyishere there, and recently @katerinaramm (katerinaramm1 on X) created the Web3 - Hive Blockchain community of which if we add more hive people into, it will have the following potential impacts:
- Whenever people post inside the community, everyone gets notified (if you want to) and you can also opt to share the same post over the rest of the followers (otherwise it is just visible inside the community)
- Because of the way it exposes Hive on X, people looking into the community will feel more related to the already large amount of people on it (hence why it's important to have numbers there).
- Posting inside of large communities has a large impression rate, because of the notifications (at least for now), which also increases exposure when you also post for all your followers (due to how the algorithm works for very high impressions).
You can post anything related to Hive inside (don't forget that you still have to obey X rules)... and in there I will follow everyone who is also on Hive.
Once I have enough followers, aka around 2k verified members (because this is a metric X says, good enough), and around 5k followers (3k not verified/Premium), I will change a bit the way of sharing things to see if it catches some fire.
IF I start to get paid meanwhile (I doubt it because I messed up last year), which either way is not an objective to me, then more "good noise" will exist. And my aim was always to buy HIVE with the X money, and when that happens I will use that as a show-off message in order to get people attracted to at least research about Hive.
😊 Forkyou™ in the next one 😉

Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.

46 at the time of this comment... and yep, if we can gather some attention via that community, I think its worth the time.
I will keep doing my stuff while I can.
I need to start paying some more attention to everything that's going on, I enjoy watching the buzz you're making over at X but I'm just too much of a !SLOTH to get involved. I seem to have a couple of days hitting it hard then go into nap mode for about a month before getting back to it! I guess for now I'll just need to keep stacking those ATX and hoping Hive moons by magic! Keep up the awesome work, looking forward to seeing the mischief you get upto with your new Orange!
I am not keeping my hopes to high yet... but it sure pumps me to play with ARM... especially because I have a feeling I will need to start working with it at work too.
Cool project, nice photos - glad we have now some communities on #Twitter or #X as well to talk about Hive. Seems i have to attend HPUD again while waiting for a pump.
LARYNX I totally forgot - need to check if i find the link again.
lol, it usually happens in my mornings/midday... so probably related to when Korea wakes up.
I seriously need to visit NZ one day! It looks soooo amazing!! If I get to visit NZ, we should grab a beer at the ATX pub 🍻
Exciting with the new stuff. I hope it pan out as expected 💪🏼

Around the 200-250 NZD... maybe it will get cheaper because its Chinese.
If it was today, I would go via the other brand I pointed. Just because for me the board makes more sense.
It's quite cheap that one... and it would be enough to run a full Hive node? Not that I plan to run one (it's beyond my abilities), but still it's something interesting to know!
Nah... forget about an HIVE full node (it's a VERY LONG SHOT). I should have warned people that there is a long road to go and needed skills if you wanna go that path (@gtg warned me 🤦♂️). It's a dark wizardery path... but please, if you become a wizard, let us know! 😁
For hived (C++) you need to understand how to compile, and even if it compiles, you need to understand how to solve all the dependencies that might not be the same in ARM64 toolchains, and even specifically for this archset hardware. Anyhow, it's too much work for any decent learning for even educated people 😜. I am going to give it a try but just for fun... Students should try it though! LOL
Anyhow, changing to why I think I thought it was worth mentioning, which is, if you are planning on running JavaScript (or any HTTP based) stuff... ARM might be interesting because ARM is based on RISC instruction set, which for web stuff has advantages! LOTs in some cases... why do you think all phones are ARM-based? 😏
There are also power advantages... but that's a rabbit hole!
There is a sweet spot between power and performance for ARM. It's not all about performance, obviously, because a very large CPU with lots of cache and low latency, can just eat up anything. BUT it costs tons and wastes HUMOUNGOUS amounts of energy in comparison.
Jezzzz... I diverged, didn't I... sorry!
If you didn't understand, no worries. But please ask away if you want to know more.
Appreciate the curiosity at least!
I had to wait a few days and re-read it 2-3 times more to try to understand it... but all of that is out of my reach 🤣 but I got that running a full node is quite the challenge and definetely not something I'll be able to do anytime soon!

👍
We don't support native build on arm, and I wouldn't really bother when there are N100 / N150 that can be used for easier builds, and I wouldn't bother with all the hassle of minimizing hived platform (more than I already did ;-) ) unless we will have a valid use case in space (putting it on startship etc.) :-)
Yeah, its mostly for fun for me.
😏 if this turns out to be crap, that idea of putting it on a starship looks interesting...
Thanks for your and 👉ATX👈 updates.
Voted for witness and it will be good if you share direct vote link, instead of peakd witness pages.
Yeah , having community in "X" is really good and I joined as No. 7 there.

Yeah, I am starting to think photos are way more fun than just hard text... one day, you can just drop a bunch of photos into a post and the AI will just compile a story about it. I don't think it's too hard... and then a photo album can be also a podcast or an ebook all at the same time. Dreams! !LOL
By the way, most people might have no idea, but the "no wind part" was like... 30 min... so I had to be quite fast!

There are ways to check things. And I think the education should be to "teach" people to say, "this text was produced by AI"... and then curations follows the right path.
Oh, interesting. I strongly dislike the idea of posts being created by AI. I just think: What's the point? It feels like cheating. But then I dislike it less when AI creates a picture to go with a post. So obviously I'm just going to have to start adjusting to AI sneaking into every corner of our lives! !LOL

Been quite busy on all fronts. Sorry for not being able to check on more things. It has been erratic... both in personal and work life.
Any new learnings? What's your level of comfort with teaching others about Hive... and is that something you would like to do?
Rather than trying to channel you into a rabbit hole, what is something you would like to do in life? if you have to think about a full-time job and such... what do you see yourself doing in 5 years for example?
Hi Forykw, sorry for the delay, lots of homework.
I still haven't decided what to study, when I know I'll let you know, I'm looking for my affinity, I hope to find out soon, I still have time to decide
You do indeed. I was just curious.
Yes, I would like to, when there are things that catch my attention I talk about them. I want to continue learning more, it's fun.
Keep that attitude.
Me alegran esos paseos tan espectaculares, las fotos se ven idilicas, un gran saludo , y felicidades por tu nuevo proyecto ATX
I will keep teaching... as long as I can...
Hi friend, I hope you are well, beautiful photos, it seems that you like good places, the beach and the sun. Congratulations.
Excellent your new project, I would like to be a programmer or study systems engineering, I am sure I can achieve it and be able to have those great teams that you have.

The photos of the water are lovely! It was wild to see how fast the weather changed- hopefully you got everything packed up before it started pouring! At least you said you were off the water by then, PHEW
As usually you lost me on the tech stuff... What nice fruit named chips you have there though! 😂 I hope they technology very well for you and you do not wake up to find they have turned into a real orange PIE
As for the X thing, it sounds like a lot of cool plans with potential to help our mission along in spreading the awesome of Hive- I'll have to pop over there again when I can!
Happy HPUD to ya and ATX! 😎😄

LEGENDARY PowerUps (since the last #NFT release), including this giveaway:
NONE
To those that powered up massively, will receive a free NFT the next time I release a new one, and I will either curate their content at my own consideration of one of their last posts/comments or provide some sort of specialized help after looking at that person's account/posts/comments. A kind of special value because of your power-up.
If you have liquid ATX and SWAP.HIVE you can add liquidity to the ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool to win daily rewards in many forms of tokens (including more ATX). I support most HIVE games on this list. Enjoy! - If you have any questions, drop them down.
Thanks! 😜 Sad that after all this time participating in ATX that it only took me till your January post before I read and re-read and realised what you meant. But hey! Better late than never right? 😎
What would help people understand quicker in your view?
I think the problem is that humans have a limited attention span.
TBH, I usually read your post and the repeated parts about the monthly ATX draw looks more like a template signature to me. 🤣 I doubt most readers will actually click on hyperlinks in a post too.
Separate (new) posts every month would likely be more effective, especially to new users who might come across this.

I've powered up first, am I eligible for the delegation reward?
Only if you enter the draw, before the post-curation ends... by mentioning ATX word. Read the rules, please: https://peakd.com/hpud/@forykw/powerup-delegation-giveaway-rules
This post is already 8 days old. Should I just mention ATX in comments? thats all or something else. Dont know why its a bit confusing for me
Curation takes 7 days. So this one is already to late. I will make another one next month.
The idea with my posts is to teach people about these things, at their own pace. So, keep those questions coming.
I will try to keep an eye for the next month's update
If I recall, I will ping you.
It will be helpful, thanks
