For today this was my absolute limit.I lost some secs right after the start cause I qeued at the very back of my starter box since I wasnt sure if I would do my pace right from the beginning. So I had some traffic 2 overtake til I could ramp up the pace.But I do not care.I am proud.I broke my 22yo personal best time.
#running training 3/4 of week 9/16 of #Project92.Motivation is at -2 on a scale from 0 to 10. 3rd training in pouring rain, crescendo run (I hate these😁), 2nd training with headwind & due to the conditions I ran into a really big pile of horse shit with both feet.At the moment I have 2 run the most boring track I can imagine.1st half through concrete jungle, 2nd half along rail tracks & abandoned houses...In the dark. I am stuck on my fitness level. no progress although I work hard. #run#laufen
2023 was a good year of #running for me, since I ran more kilometers than the year before.
But I still ran less kilometers than e.g. 2020 and 2021 (>1,400km).
For 2024 I expect to be back in the range of >1,400km since my ongoing #project92 requires a high amount of fitness.
Right now Threads is testing federation for selected few accounts, and (at) Gagron (at) mastodon.social is even being poisoned at it
If I can access (at) #TalkingAngela on threads.net and NOT on mastodon.social (RN meaning it doesn't exist yet), then it will be "GAME OVER" for the #ttaf fans seeking privace and in whole.
PLEASE. Tell your instance owners to #DEFEDERATEMETA immediately.
Avec le #Fedipact j’espère que le #fediverse en sortira grandi.
Chaque instance est libre de faire ce qu’elle veut.
Mais bloquer les instances du #project92#Threads est une chose saine.
Ouvrir la porte à ces datavöres du #web toxique c’est entretenir des risques sur la #privacy.
L’Histoire a déjà montré la capacité d’entreprises à appliquer le 3E : « Embrace, extend, and extinguish », comme Google avec XMPP.

Because of the recent events on #Habitica I've created a #Liberapay page to get some support to fix what will happen on August 8th.
My plan is to create an advanced chat for the uotpify.org community (~5,000 people) and to keep providing high quality challenges on Habitica. More information on the Liberapay page: https://liberapay.com/utopify.org
This will be a lot of work and I hope for some #support
I provide challenges for about 6 years on Habitica for free, but it took a lot of time to write programs automating a lot of work (anti-cheat), scanning the chat for challenge participants, processing challenge data and creating high score lists, announcing new challenges, winners of challenges, etc. Now, that chats and guilds will be removed on Habitica, there will be even more work and the motivation is not really high, if a company destroys it within a week what you built up over several years.
Liberapay was the only solution I found, which is #foss and fits the values for what utopify stands for. If you know others/better, please name them.
I appreciate every Cent and thank you for your support 🙏
My problem with money donations are always, that not trustworthy companies have to be used. Currently I use #paypal, but #stripe is supported by Liberapay, too.
Is it necessary to have a Stripe account or is PayPal enough? Because reading the privacy policy of them makes me a little bit dizzy and if it can be avoided, I really want to avoid it. But if people will say, they want to donate, but only with Stripe, I would create a Stripe account.
It took way to much time, but I wanted to be sure it is the right thing and that everything works even better than before in the old utopify.org guild chat on #habitica And after a lots of struggles, it looks like it is usable, now.
The new lemmy instance covers topics like #selfdevelopment and #sustainability and everything what is connected to it. I will create a lot of communities the next weeks and almost every #challenge I provided on Habitica will be accessible publicly there, too. (And I will announce them on Mastodon).
It should be a safe space to focus on important topics and define fulfilling goals, create a habit to work on them and to reach them in an efficient way, even if the "All Feed" is activated, which can be distracting very fast, because it shows federated posts. I recommend to stay in the "Local Feed".
I've put so much energy, time and money in a self-hosted Lemmy instance, because what happened on Habitica was the last time that a company will be able to destroy the utopify community.
We had a healthy routine to set goals, have a sustainable mindset, motivate and inspire others and all was gone within a short time. This time the plan is, that it will stay for much much longer and that all experience will be saved and can be shared by everyone :)
The Lemmy instance is free of GAFAM spyware (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) or any trackers/ads and it runs on a private server and WE DON'T FEDERATE WITH #META (#threads, #project92, #p92)
""The P92 (#Threads#Meta#Project92#Barcelona#Instagram) app will be carefully crafted as a one way bridge that is permeable for content in direction of Meta, but not so much for P92 users in direction of the Fediverse."
""a one-way bridge that is permeable" in one direction only"
Not to mention the well-supported fact that If one deletes one's Threads account, the matching Instagram account is deleted also
Bei @digitalcourage haben wir noch nicht entschieden, ob wir Metas Fediverse-Instanz(en) aus unseren Instanzen aussperren werden. Noch funktioniert bei threads.net das Föderieren nicht. Das kann sich aber jederzeit ändern.
Wer vorbeugend ausschließen will, dass die eigenen Tröts zu Meta/Threads gelangen, kann sich mit folgender Anleitung abschotten:
Threads silently launched. What a slick UI for something built on top of ActivityPub! Also I forgot I had an Instagram account, thanks for reminding me Threads 😂
Onboarding was painless too - sign into Instagram, that's it, no thinking about which of the thousands of instances to sign up for. gg Mastodon, this is going to eat your lunch (at least for normies.)
I know federation isn't a part of initial launch. It'll be interesting to see how Meta rolls that out when they get confident enough to try and participate in the larger fediverse.
Now cue the fediverse drama - I'm here for it all 🤤
Sagt mal, wenn dieses #Meta wegen der #DSGVO (vorerst) nicht nach Europa kommt, dann ist dies doch Jacke wie Hose, oder?
Angenommen ich föderiere mit z.B. mastodon.social, die wiederum mit Meta föderiert, dann ist dies doch egal, da Meta die ganzen Daten ja über mastodon.social bekommt.
Oder habe ich da einen Denkfehler? #project92
ps. iptables rules reset on reboot so make sure to run these at startup (!)
