If i can do it, you can do it too. I'm the laziest person i know but if you start really small and make it a habit it will become easier.

Start with the thing that seems easiest to you and keep a log of when you did it. Soon you will be on a streak and the discipline required will become much less.

Don't pile up more but start adding super small things as soon as you feel like you made something a habit. Most things will take some 10 weeks to become habitual but it will depend from person to person.

My current health plan is:

-Eat real nutrient dense foods.

-Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day.

-Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. Touch grass and do stuff. Often you can combine this with business meetings.

-Sprint a couple times per week.

-Do cold plunges a couple times per week. Seriously, this seems easy to skip and it’s hard. But if you want to triple dopamine levels for the working day without later downsides, putting yourself in freezing water is the thing.

-Do some squats and pushups. And then deadlift your own body weight for several reps.

-Even then you’ll potentially fail. This isn’t one of those meme posts. I used to be utterly ripped in my competitive martial arts days in my late teens until my mid twenties. But then I got distracted, mainly due to a broken leg and lack of direction. Over the past several Covid years, I’ve weakened, and had trouble hiking mountains. I still have visible abs but they feel fake now. But I focus on a couple things amid my crazy work, which I have ingrained now. The first is intermittent fasting. It literally fixes all my other errors as a baseline. I can fuck up for a year and not gain weight because I only eat in 6 or 8 hour windows. Or even 10 hours. The rest of the time trains the body to burn fat. Next is I do a reasonable baseline of pushups, squats, and sprints per week. Nobody can make me choose to. It’s just my baseline. Last is I do a lot of squats and bicycling to keep my leg muscles interested, which have been mediocre. So if a new martial arts leader has a plan, I’m happy to listen.

Sounds really good. I do most of these things too, most for several years, some more recent (a year or slightly more).

I go to the gym a minimum of 2 (but striving for 3) times a week where i do full body one day and mostly bodyweight upper body the other. Third is mostly random but try to incorporate a conditioning aspect.

On the days i don't go to the gym i do back/shoulder/hip stretching exercises to combat the stiff backside of my body. And additionally i do 40 navy seal burpees on those days.

I walk for 30 minutes on weekdays during lunch but in a fairly high pace walking 3.5km during that time.

I've been meaning to try and add some squats but since i do most of these things during lunch (while also having my first meal) the ritual sometimes becomes a lunch of 1 to 1.5 hours and i don't want to make it much longer.

I could try and learn to rise a bit earlier (6:00/6:30 now) and do some of these things right after getting up but i really lack motivation at that time.

All the zaps you all sent I split with nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcewvzaw and nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qgnwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2tckuej4c

Amethyst sparked the idea because it really annoyed me that I didn't have every type of relay for the config, and it's my daily driver

Khatru framework for making it possible otherwise no way I could build any relay

And kept some for myself to buy some coffee

Shut up and take my sats!

Ok i saw some reply guys still. However they do not reply to any of my posts anymore. I think the last relay that had this issue has now somehow circumvented this as well. Do you also happen to know what the solution is to the reply guy issue?

Thanks. Funny how things go. I have not seen any reply guys either for 2 days or so but these have not been my most active days on nostr for sure.

GM!

Where can i read about the solution to the spam bots (reply guys and impersonators) and how they were blocked? #asknostr

This mostly boils down to the ancient thin server/thin client discussion.

If you look at it from a trust perspective however a thin relay makes more sense because how does a relay know what i, as the end-user, considers worthy of my attention. Specifically if the relays filter stuff that i am not aware of.

It's a bit the same like email. While most servers actively filter spam emails it's still embedded into most clients as well. However that also lead us to the point where running your own email server becomes a problem as it is now centralized around the big 3 cloud providers that will just actively block half the ip-address space on the internet because those mostly generated spam.

Looking at it from a real-life perspective, social interactions are always p2p so i think striving towards that goal seems to make the most sense.

Hard to tell but it could be something as simple as just checking the name. So we just all rename ourselves to Reply Guy to see if that stops the spam.

Could also be that they run on a centralized database which stores the npub from which they send the reply to ignore any events from that npub.

So you guys still write replies to any new post? Feels like a waste of time or have i been missing out how to get rid of all the spam?

You got me! No shady superpowers. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Exactly.

You can frame it all tou want but bitcoin is agnostic to any of it. It may now be something tech bros take a walk with and give it some bad rep but i think these will all be temporary phases.

Bitcoin is here for everybody and is incapable to discrimination of any kind
