@dantefofante awareness trigger is crazY

for science, log out of all social media on your phone. just do it for like an hour. watch how absolutely useless you are. how many times you look for or click on an app with out really caring to.

Obsidian is a quiet masterclass in retention.

@yo_yahli GAHLEEEEE

very nice

Grand jiggle. If your bone broth ain’t jiggling like this you’re doing it wrong

@yo_yahli lets see that hockey stick chart.

14.1M and counting

@dantefofante been following you for a long time dude, it's very cool to see how much youve grown. keep killin it

@brookslagle Thank you bro :)

Long time no see chat. It’s been a minute since I’ve been active here. Feeling revitalized. I’m still out here doing the same thing as before. Spending time in nature. Designing things (mostly emails these days for some of the biggest health brands). Training hard. Messing around with AI tools (always too many tools) and trying to read more and more. This is me out on a ruck this morning. My biggest focus as of recent has been cardio and my half marathon training. As I’m in taper (2 weeks out!), I’m training less and less. It’s mentally difficult but it allows energy to flow to other facets of life (business, relationships, etc). My current reading fix is East of Eden by Steinbeck and The Art of Focus by none other than @thedankoe. People may hate on the lad but god damn can the guy write. I’ll be posting daily for the foreseeable future. What accounts should I follow in the meantime? My personal favorite right now is @dantefofante by a mile. He’s definitely about to run a sub 3 marathon, and I can’t lie that wanna own his suitcase one day. Few understand. as always… KEEP GOING

@dantefofante real shit dude i've realized this

Living in an apartment is ass because there’s so much friction between wanting to leave and actually getting out. Takes like 5 minutes to go from room to elevator to car to grass. open.spotify.com/track/32PXNAUn…

I’d argue the dude mowing lawns in the sun all day listening to music in his headphones is almost always happier than the content creator whose life looks like a movie on instagram.

@jamessimulation I agree with this. I haven’t found a reason yet except for people who say it has too many anti-nutrients.

Is there any reason to not green pea max

@yo_yahli I need polyester is the most beta shit. Ngl it swings both ways w/ natural materials too, if you can’t perform without a particular type of shorts… something is up regardless. Doing it about poly is just downright sad

“i need polyester bc im a hybrid athlete” yeah yeah yeah multiple people have ran half marathons in the Quad Short just got a DM today that someone rucked 37 miles in them you don’t need polyester, that is cope

@theostowell this is what I am doing with @zocomputer its fucking awesome

So you can just install Obsidian, Claude Code, hermes-agent on a VPS, and purchase Obsidian's headless-sync... Put them together and have an intelligent agent (claude) by your side, with its own context in a second brain (that you can edit and peruse through the best note-taking software ever written), synced to an always-on agent (hermes-agent, running a cheaper model) you can interface with through Telegram or something similar. That's like employing my little brother except arguably cleverer and less belligerent (and also doesn't sleep) for only 18 + 10 + 16 = 44 GBP + credits via @OpenRouter per month!

@dantefofante the heightened arousal is the thing for me. I could be up all night regardless of blue blockers + f.lux if i don't force myself to get off my computer.

I personally feel no impact of blue light in the evening. Really bright lights, maybe but dimmed screen, not really. For me, its more about the rumination and heightened arousal that come with screens, scrolling, videos, etc. When I read a book for example, I don’t find myself getting in bed still thinking about it. No momentum. But when I get in bed after binge reading Hantavirus posts, it definitely keeps me up. I think the blue light thing is legit, but I think whats most important to get good sleep (and to fall asleep quickly) is that you find an activity that calms you down, even if thats watching professional billards on your iPad.

@theostowell honestly im bristolmaxxing now. i get to hang with my bro?! i gotta come thru badly

@brookslagle Yeah it's hard to tell Half my timeline is Londonmaxxing and half is slating the mess that is HS2 atm 😭

Well well well… As a Bristolian born and bred this is very very interesting!

@hephunderground a morning shit and a kiwi indeed changed my life

@kepano @shtosan ahhh you know it! I really just need to disable omnisearch. i haven't even been using it. that must be it. you just saved me so much head ache

@brookslagle @shtosan I am guessing you're using plugins like Dataview, Tasks, Omnisearch? Those plugins maintain their own indexes.

Hey @kepano. Is there an issue with iCloud sync? "indexing vault" takes at least 30s in my phone. 😅

@theostowell bro is so sick with it

I like this analogy, gives me confidence that I can build apps Already know I’m a tasteful shutter-clicker…

@dudufolio deplorable. never again bro
