What metrics are important for you when it comes to #running? #HRV, #Sleep quality, #RHR, or something else?

I tend to adjust my RPE during my running sessions based on my sleep and awake HRV. If my HRV is above or below my normal range (which is 105-110 sleep and 83-85 awake) I adjust the intensity of the workout accordingly.

What metrics do you monitor and how do you adjust your workouts according to these metrics?

in reply to Moha

HRV being unbalanced is a sign that something is off. My sleep recovery is very important. Otherwise it is all feel which is sometimes at odds with the measurements. Can I push? How do I feel post pushing is what's important to me.
in reply to Kirk

@JustBrogrammer Yes, how do you feel is the most important, regardless of the metrics.

omiindustriies on the #orca IRC just pointed out something neat that I never realized.. The B(subtract) operator in Orca is a XOR gate, and M(mul) is a AND gate.

@pedromj for some reason I don't see your notifications, it's strange.

But yes, both operators take two inputs, you can try it out for yourself here: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/orca



This is my cats! They all prefer paper bags to boxes. Oh boxes are nice, but they don't make lovely crinkly sounds! Moki especially loves the big bags from the candle shop, because they have the best smells.

That could be a picture of any of my cats. They prefer bags, but have been known to occupy a box or two.

@Katherine Bond Apologies for stepping on your meme glory! Sometimes images have a life of their own.


follow #hashtags, using #Channels; or a better way?
in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

@Michael 🇺🇦 i do not understand your question / statement. if there is more info i can give you, pls help me understand what that might be, so that i can help you to help me. thanks.
in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

What fields in the channel definition have you entered?

Also: The channels only look at starting posts, not comments. So your result will vary between following hashtags and creating a channel with tags.

in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

With this setting you won't see any posts that haven't got attached pictures, videos or audio files. Also you should use "global community" as the channel to base the channel on. The channel "Latest posts" that you are using here shows only posts that you already have got in your timeline.
in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

Just try it out. You should already see the outcome of your changes, since channel posts are collected based on the current definition. You don't need to wait for some hours.
in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

@Michael 🇺🇦 haha, you beat me to it... i just came back here to excitedly post a positive update... it is now working much much much better! it is now close enough to my originally envisaged ideal use-case as to be neither here nor there. finally, this is great! thx so much for --again-- solving one of my Friendica puzzles 🤗🙂
in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

@Michael 🇺🇦 @Friendica Support @Droppie [opensoc]
I suspect that he is concerned about the fact that the posts in the channels arrive delayed. I’ve been observing the same thing since I’ve been using these channels.
in reply to Thomas

@Thomas fwiw... she. it's not just delayed, it's never appearing at all [or, if they happen to appear >24 hours late, then i regard that as "never", coz my desire / use-case is to use these custom channels first thing in the morning to see what happened overnight, then periodically check them during the day for subsequent new posts on those tags]. by the time tomorrow morn comes around, i'm then looking for the new batch, not still wondering where all those missing ones yesterday got to. how it actually works atm entirely breaks that desire. my biggest confusion about this is that i know my instance is able to access all those posts, coz me doing that manual tag search proves it... so why does the custom channel, configured also for that tag, fail to find the same posts? and i repeat, this is NOT a criticism of my current instance; all my older Friendica instances also failed at this. @Michael 🇺🇦

@Norm oh! 😲 🤯 that possibility honestly never crossed my mind. thank you. i will begin keeping an eye on that from now on, in hope it gives me a much better outcome.

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

Why did my wife and I move aboard Wrack in old age?

Being homeless and out of options was part of it but I was also haunted by my own words in this 2021 interview for Anna Iltnere's When I Grow Up project, in which I described myself as a 'castaway'.

I sometimes wonder how you look at all of it, you've had pretty severe health issues, boat problems, and all that accounted for, do you still feel like it was the right call?

Wishing for a Mastodon plushie this Christmas?🎄

We’re giving away two of the new ones for free to two random people who boost and favorite this post! Winners will be announced on December 25th, just like last year.

If you’d like to support our server and projects like these, donations are always welcome:

✊🎁 Support Here :paypal: :kofi:

Thank you all for turning this year into what it has been! :ablobcatsnowjoy:

#Plushtodon #ChristmasGiveaway #GiveAway #Mastodon #FediLove



So let me get this straight. The current state of fediverse integration on Threads is that you can write posts that federate, people can read and reply to them, you can like their replies, but you can't reply back, repost, or even share the post from Threads. And that's how they're gonna leave it.


For #DecemberAdventure today, I'm porting a bit of #Pascal to #Uxntal.
Thanks for the idea @snufkin_vc

Noticed the festive makeover of the Nextcloud Community forum? 🎄

#FreeSoftwareAdvent day 15: Nextcloud

SyncThing is great for synchronising files, but I also have a self-hosted Nextcloud server. If I only wanted to synchronise files, I'd probably just use SyncThing, but I use Nextcloud for things like CalDav for calendars and CardDav for contacts as well as files.

More recently, I've also started using Nextcloud apps. In particular, I use News for RSS feeds, Notes for simple notes, and RePod for podcasts. The apps accessed through the Nextcloud dashboard on the web have minimal functionality, but it's enough for me. In the case of News and Notes, I also use the official Android clients, which also offer mininal functionality, but again, I don't need any more. For podcasts, I mostly listen using AntennaPod on Android, which I'll talk about tomorrow.

It's worth noting that there are companies that will host Nextcloud for you if you don't want to self-host. At least some of them have a free tier if you don't need a lot of space.

Hello everyone!

I'm making a port of the Kilo editor by antirez (originally in C) to #uxntal AKA kibi (I'm not sure it will be around 1 "kibi"lines of code lol!

But I'm also porting the awesome tutorial by snaptoken teaching how kilo works.

I'd greatly appreciate if someone could take a look (maybe even follow along the tutorial) in order to get feedback.

git.sr.ht/~ismael-vc/kibi/tree…

I'm aiming for no previous Uxntal experience required!

Best regards.

in reply to Snufkin

I have received great feedback from @neauoire over IRC.

I was also reminded of all the years we have known each other at this point.

I'm so glad we became friends and with the rest of the uxn community, you are the ones making me come back to uxn not concatenativeness! 💚

hi! Nextcloud Hub is free and open source. You can use Nextcloud Mail, Calendar and Talk (chat and meetings), together with other apps for free. But of course, Nextcloud Enterprise offering is available when you need extra confidence for a critical setup.
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

yes enterprise I meant since where I work I tried to suggest moving away from our American software dependence. But it was shot down by IT. It would help if you list prices for all products including research and education institutes and get some subsidies from the digitalization ministry to make things cheaper for "security and software independence"


A while ago I wrote a script to convert #uxn .icn files to .png. For my #DecemberAdventure I wrote an accompanying script which converts .png files to .icn
This has the effect of pixel-izing the image and I can control which pixels get converted to black or white based on a threshold applied to their R, G, B, alpha values. It also allows me to load any png into Noodle and draw on it!

I am a bit slow when it comes to programming, so my Adventures tend to be limited. But I’m glad I got this done

Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year: The unstoppable rise of renewable energy

"In Sept, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared at the U.N. that his country will cut its carbon emissions by as much as 10% in a decade, not by using less energy, but by doubling down on wind and solar.

To many, the continued growth of renewables now seems unstoppable—a prospect that has led Science to name the renewable energy surge its 2025 Breakthrough of the Year."
