DEV Blog 16 - Project Updates

A comprehensive overview of my Advanced Gospel Initiatives

I’ve been really looking forward to my interview with Pete Garcia and the REV310 tribe, which I did on Wednesday. He is very knowledgeable and devotes a significant amount of time to study cutting edge of technology. That dude has serious gifts! He is always a great addition to Pastor John Haller’s Technology Roundtable (here). BTW, our next Roundtable is coming next Wednesday. There is no lack of material to chew through. In my estimation, for every topic we get to talk about, we do about 10x as much research. There is just so much to talk about and we can’t predict how the roundtable will move during our discussion.

The centerpiece of our episode covered the article I released last Tuesday night entitled “Are Space-Based Data Centers in our Future?” (here). One of the things I had prepared was a theoretical process diagram for how I see it working. Let me draw your attention to the “Space Segment” and the “Earth Surface Segment” (see below) and how they interact for payment authorization when the Mark of the Beast becomes active. We will not see this system, but it is being built right now.

If I were to visualize what this might look like in space, it might look like this. This was rendered by Nano Banana Pro from Google. My prompt wasn’t very defined. The intent is to show you what AI clusters might look like in space. If each segment or unit was brought up by a Falcon Heavy (here) I don’t think it would take longer than a few months to get a working system together. My post goes into a lot more detail about why they are thinking about putting AI in space.

The sobering thing is that Elon Musk has much of the infrastructure in his hands already. No board of directors or stock holders to fight. No licensing in space. Just think about it. At least for the time being he has the largest AI data center in the world in Memphis (xAI, here). Elon has the launch systems for SpaceX (here). The third leg is the most pervasive satellite network in history (StarLink here). Oh, and he seemingly has unlimited capital already. Get this, his upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) of SpaceX is presumably coming this year (here). It has the potential to raise $1.5T—this is the largest in world history! The rich get richer.

I’d encourage you to watch the episode if you haven’t already and share with your friends. That small courtesy would mean a lot to both of us.

RKPi5 (Raspberry Pi Project)

Kevin has done a great job testing the Pi and has suggested a usability enhancement. He noticed an opportunity for laptops or PCs using Windows 10/11 to have a better experience seeing the static website. So, what you see above is my preparatory steps for another round of development and testing. On the left foreground you can see all the USB drives (silver, green, red) that have Rapture Kit 3.1 on it. To the right are the adapter cards for the microSD card to be inserted into a PC or Mac having a SD slot. If you look carefully, the four red/hold microSD cards have a fresh image of the Trixie 64-bit Pi5 operating system with full desktop ready to support the configuration testing steps that must be done. The white box with red stickers is the new (as yet unopened) Pi case featuring the 5” touch screen with 2 speakers and a headphone jack. I’ll be working on this soon. And the yellow “starter kit” CanaKit is what I recommend to people wanting an evangelical solution like this.

Roger got his RKPi5 working and is helping me do an upgrade to the support documentation (here). His eye for detail and the old school way he approached the install of the scripts was novel. He is waiting for those improvements from Kevin (mentioned above) to be ready. I plan to re-image a “golden master” backup file that will make adopting the RKPi5 platform much easier than running the scripts on your own. I should have updates on this for next week’s DEV Blog.

George is continuing to work on a new set of features for his WAMPi “enterprise” project. I will get the installer from him and continue to test the latest stable release.

PRMNews App

Unfortunately, this has been a down week for PRMNews web app as I really need to think through the implications of event date extraction. This was covered in more detail last week.

The way I’m already approaching it right now will be good enough for an MVP launch. I plan to write my own specialize function later. Just to recap, sometimes news makes mention of date-like phrases like Q2 2025, but that is not exactly a date. It is short for the 2nd quarter of 2025. This type of writing is often linked to financial news reporting, but it’s not necessarily limited to that. Right now, dates will focus primarily on the Publication Date of the article, which is already cast as a proper date/time field. So, this will be the primary way for users to filter dates initially.

It is likely that I will be returning to the backend database logic next week. I hope to begin moving forward with that!

Platform Diversification

Joel is an amazing volunteer with serious skills. He is currently helping me with deployment scripts to push our Post Rapture Emergency Message website—and all its 26GB of content—to n-number of web servers. Again, to refresh everyone on this project. The didmillionsdisappear.com website is a reference design for this pattern. Our goals is to engineer more resiliency opposing takedown and censorship. We are putting our websites on multiple platform offerings in different jurisdictions. Joel is using a scripting language often used for automated deployments and provisioning of cloud resources called Terraform (here). We are syncing up Monday for a debriefing on the progress made.

Book 6 - The Dax Hunter Files

I’ve been squirming to share with my audience but now we are both ready. We’ve both been involved in helping author Gary Albyn (here) to revamp and modernize his website! It’s a beautiful design and clean structure with contemporary with a little bit of animation. Take a look at the new design (click image below).

Please check it out! It presents all three of his series. It begins with “The Dax Hunter Series” (number 1 through 5). The “Africa’s Big Five Series” (2 books) which are incredible poems with jaw dropping artwork from renown artists. The last is a book on “Building a Bug Out Bag”. Speaking of the Bug Out Bag book, for people that Subscribe to Gary’s newsletter (look for the signup in the bottom right of the home page) he will email you a free PDF copy of the book as a thank you! Note: this is not automated yet. Gary will manually send it.

We had another awesome planning meeting on Tuesday and laid out our next assignments. Tomorrow morning I will write on the first meeting between the Antichrist and the 10 Kings! In the scene, the Antichrist has already been given counterfeit omnipresence via a Brain Computer Interface (BCI). That subcutaneous chip links him into the Architect. If you recall, the Architect is the AI that runs the Beast System. During that meeting, he will discover (through quantum hacking and AI processing intel, that 3 of the Kings have doubts about his leadership. They will be killed. I hope I can do that justice. Between us, we have 5-6 scenes to write before our next meeting. Pray for favor!

Please support Gary Albyn … it helps me too. I should mention that there is no financial benefit to me. Gary is a personal friends of mine. I just want to step up and help out to the best of my ability.

Summary

My prayer requests:

1. As I mentioned, I’m iterating through a new round of development to make the RKPi5 easier to join from a Windows PC. This has a beneficial effect for users, but creates some maintenance work. For example, I will need to update documentation for the rkpi5.com website (here). Pray that I can get through the “golden master” image creation process. This will involve a new deployment cycle. All normal stuff, but I need a straight path through it. Can you pray for each of these steps please?

   1. Update the install script with Kevin’s enhancement

   2. Update support documentation with Roger’s excellent input

   3. Burning the new golden master image for testing by the beta team

   4. Making the golden master image easy to download from rkpi5.com

   5. Testing, testing, testing

   6. Praise God for Kevin and Roger’s efforts!

   7. We still need more beta testers!!

2. Joel and I have been working out the best way to run the installers for the post rapture resource websites. It is not easy, folks. Please pray that we figure out how to manage SSL certificates. In my meeting with him today, we agreed on a strategy that seems reasonable. We need God’s covering over this! Think about it. We won’t be here to maintain those websites anymore. So, we have to ensure that they are valid and up and running for as long as possible so that people in desperate need of the Gospel Truth and all that good information can find it successfully. If I had to estimate our progress, given all that has to happen to bite off another chunk of platform diversification, we are about at 20% currently. There is a way to go. Praise God for Joel’s efforts!

3. Please pray for Gary and I as we continue to put our scenes and characters to paper. It has been tough to write about what we see in the Bible and the things we know will happen. Plus, when you put dialogue to characters, create intrigue, suspense, and action around them, it’s a skill I’m still trying to learn. Upside is it’s fun. I think we’re at 40% of our goal word count and still only 11 days after the Rapture! It’s c-r-a-z-y!! I know you will love it! Again, please visit his website and signup for his newsletter. Pray for covering, protection, and productivity. Pray we can faithfully steward Biblical truth about Eschatology in a creative, action-packed, way.

4. Pray for my Bible study, which has been on break for a month or so. We are going to begin meeting next Thursday! I’m still praying about what topic to teach from.

5. And finally, pray for our next Tech Roundtable this next Wednesday at 4pm Pacific 7pm East Coast. It is going to be packed! We are thinking through topics right now. Pray that we synthesize the things the Lord is bringing to the surface in a responsible, educational, and encouraging way.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
