I spent a few days sick and noticed a flaw in the Daily Suggested Workouts algorithm by #Garmin: When you're under the weather, but your HRV and sleep are still good, the algorithm continues to recommend intense workouts. This can worsen your condition since each hard workout can temporarily weaken your immune system, pushing you further away from recovery. A reminder to always use common sense and listen to your body. #running

Question for the #running community: What do you use to build or generate plans? I'd appreciate any why, pros & cons.

Debating a challenge to start the new year: going the first 30 days without a smartphone, in an effort to reset my unhealthy patterns with my phone. The rules: a dumbphone for calling and perhaps a once-a-day sync with Garmin for running metrics. I can think of some impractical consequences (WhatsApp, for instance), and I need to give it some thought about whether they're really necessary or if I should set up an alternative. #NewYearsResolution

Another interesting adventure from the life of a #MastoAdmin: "Where do all these requests come from?" These spikes come and go on a fairly steady rhythm (each ~60 minutes). I found this to be interesting, so I investigated which URLs are being requested the most during these spikes. Turns out: It's the emojis. I don't mind as they're being returned early by Varnish, but why so much? 2.5 million times per 24 hours seems like _a lot_. Two red lines mark the Mastodon 4.5 upgrade.

Started watching "Keuringsdienst van Waarde", a Dutch show on NPO. I learnt that in Canada, for Merino wool, they: a) Cut off the skin on the sheep's behind, to prevent them from being eaten alive by flies because their feces will get stuck in the wool.. It's called Mulesing. And b) It's our own fault because we're breeding them with lots and lots of skin flaps (more wool per sheep!), causing these unsanitary conditions in the first place. Money really corrupts. #Sheep #MerinoWool

Doing a fairly large print today. It's a fruit washer, as per the wife's request. It'll take nearly 21 hours to complete, as it'll be switching between PLA/PETG throughout the print for easier support removal later on. #Bambu #3DPrinting #P1S

Runners with Imposter Syndrome figuring out their Rate of Perceived Exertion: Body: “You almost died!” Mind: “You did complete it, so how hard could it be..” #running

The cluster just updated Mastodon to the latest v4.4.8 by itself with new security patches. The update installed automatically without any downtime. After dealing with all the moving parts and the complexity involved, I have to say, DevOps is pretty cool. #tootcommunity
