# Breeze
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## About Breeze
|
||||
|
||||
Breeze is a Dutch dating app founded in 2020 by former TU Delft students. Unlike traditional dating apps, Breeze doesn't have a chat function - instead, users schedule dates directly after matching. The app curates matches twice daily (7am and 7pm), focusing on quality over quantity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- No chatting before the date (chat unlocks 1 hour before scheduled date)
|
||||
- Direct date scheduling via date picker
|
||||
- Curated matches twice daily
|
||||
- Focus on getting users to meet in real life quickly
|
||||
- Dutch-focused with multi-language support
|
||||
|
||||
## Profile Setup
|
||||
|
||||
When creating a Breeze profile, users provide:
|
||||
- Basic info (name, age, gender, location)
|
||||
- Dating preferences and intentions
|
||||
- Languages spoken
|
||||
- Education level
|
||||
- Employment information
|
||||
- Hobbies and interests (select 5-10 tags from tag cloud)
|
||||
- Photos (minimum 2 required)
|
||||
- Personal bio
|
||||
- At least one Q&A prompt answer
|
||||
|
||||
## Q&A Prompts List
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the confirmed prompts available in Breeze (with Dutch translations where applicable):
|
||||
|
||||
### Confirmed Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"Worst idea I've ever had"** / **"Slechtste idee dat ik ooit had"**
|
||||
- Example: "Making a fool of myself by using a dating app"
|
||||
|
||||
2. **"My dream job if money didn't matter"** / **"Mijn droombaan als geld geen rol speelde"**
|
||||

||||
3. **"Random fact(s) about me"** / **"Willekeurig feit(en) over mij"**
|
||||
|
||||
4. **"Most awkward moment of my life"** / **"Meest awkward moment van mijn leven"**
|
||||
|
||||
## Profile Tips (From Breeze's Analysis)
|
||||
|
||||
- Use humor and self-deprecation in answers
|
||||
- Include clear photos showing different aspects of your life
|
||||
- Write an honest, concise bio
|
||||
- Fill out multiple Q&A prompts to showcase personality
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Users can join "dating pools" for better matching:
|
||||
- "Ready to settle down"
|
||||

|
||||
- (Other pools available in app)
|
||||
|
||||
## Note

## Introduction
|
||||
Marilyn Monroe could switch between Marilyn and Norma Jean Baker in an instance. Her magnetism could be switched on and off, just like that. The idea being charisma is a skill that can be learned not some innate gift.
|
||||
Charisma is learned behavior, a result of specific nonverbal behaviors. Steve jobs went for nerd to rock star CEO, same for Elon Musk.
|
||||
When meeting someone new we asses power and friendliness. Being charismatic means projecting warmth, power and presence.
|
||||
## Presence
|
||||
Presence cannot be faked. If your mind wonders the other will notice. Stay in the present moment use grounding if you have to.

|

|
||||
## Draft Space
|
||||
|
||||
(Intentionally blank — we’re starting from scratch.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis: Your Style vs Popular Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Popular examples:**
|
||||
- Often silly/absurd challenges
|
||||
- Pop culture references
|
||||
- Safe, generic conditions
|
||||
|
||||
**Your style should be:**
|
||||
- Signal values lightly (equals, direct, progressive) without heavy-handed filters here
|
||||
- Showcase humor + depth + activity (skiing) in short, memorable lines
|
||||
- Keep one or two playful challenges for easy banter
|
||||
|
||||
**Best fit for you:** Dry-humor + niche-knowledge + ski variants
|
||||
- Playful but substantive
|
||||
- Natural conversation starters
|
||||
- Align with your "equals, no drama" philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
## Strategic Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### This Prompt Works Well For You Because:
|
||||
✅ You can filter for shared humor
|
||||
✅ Can mention skiing (important compatibility)
|
||||
✅ Can signal progressive values
|
||||
✅ Shows confidence
|
||||
✅ Implies you're ready to meet (not endless texting)
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid These Approaches:
|
||||
❌ Generic bar games without a twist
|
||||
❌ Heavy filtering (kids/politics) in this specific prompt
|
||||
❌ Over-clever wordplay that sounds try-hard
|
||||
|
||||
### Combination Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
If using this prompt with "I'm convinced that", you get:
|
||||
- **"I'm convinced that"** = shows how you think (depth)
|
||||
- **"First round is on me if"** = shows what you value (filter) + playful tone
|
||||
|
||||
This combo gives you substance + approachability.
|
||||
|
||||
## Final Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
(Removed — we will create and select the prompt after calibration.)

|
||||
### General advise
|
||||
|
||||
### Good prompts
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that allow **self-disclosure of something unique** (originality)
|
||||
E.g., “A shower thought I recently had…”, “Two truths and a lie…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that encourage showing a **sense of purpose / values / goals**
|
||||
E.g., “This year I really want to…”, “My life goal is…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that clarify what you’re **looking for in a partner / relationship**
|
||||
E.g., “I want someone who…”, “If we match it’s because…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that invite **conversation / allow someone to respond** (less studied but implied)
|
||||
E.g., “Ask me about…” or “You should go out with me to save me from…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that balance personality (humour, wit) + substance (values/goal)
|
||||
Because originality and meaning both matter.
|
||||
### Bad propmps
|
||||
- Prompts purely about “fun facts” without linking to values may engage but may not filter for compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that are too generic or cliché lack originality — and the originality study showed originality matters. [ResearchGate](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364420243_Originality_in_online_dating_profile_texts_How_does_perceived_originality_affect_impression_formation_and_what_makes_a_text_original?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that devote _all_ text to self-promotion (hobbies, “Paragliding, yoga, indie bands…” as in the Berkeley study) but omit partner-preferences are less effective. [Haas News | Berkeley Haas](https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/research/research-reveals-the-key-to-an-irresistible-online-dating-profile/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
|
||||
|
||||
- Relying solely on text and ignoring visuals: pictures remain highly predictive of success. [Arno](https://arno.uvt.nl/show.cgi?fid=155361&utm_source=chatgpt.com)

## Your Personalized Drafts
|
||||
|
||||
### Draft 1: Relationships (Depth + Insight)
|
||||
**"...the best relationships are between two people who don't *need* each other but actively *choose* each other. Also convinced most people ski wrong."**
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it works:**
|
||||
- Shows your core value (independence)
|
||||
- Philosophical but not pretentious
|
||||
- Unexpected humor at the end (skiing)
|
||||
- Conversation starter on multiple levels
|
||||
|
||||
### Draft 2: Intellectual (Sharp + Specific)
|
||||
**"...intellectual honesty is sexier than intelligence. You can be brilliant but dogmatic and we won't work. Sharp + open-minded > just smart."**
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it works:**
|
||||
- Shows what you value (honesty over IQ)
|
||||
- Filters for your green flags
|
||||
- Confident and direct
|
||||
- Clear dealbreaker communication
|
||||
|
||||
### Draft 3: Self-Aware (Witty + Relatable)
|
||||
**"...routine gets a bad rap. Give me someone who brings spontaneity to my structured life and I'll show you adventure with a breakfast schedule."**
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it works:**
|
||||
- Self-aware about your personality
|
||||
- Shows what you're looking for (spontaneity)
|
||||
- Playful contradiction creates interest
|
||||
- Invites the "right" person to engage
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis: Your Style vs Popular Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Popular examples tend to be:**
|
||||
- Silly/absurd humor
|
||||
- Generic observations
|
||||
- Safe, relatable takes
|
||||
|
||||
**Your style should be:**
|
||||
- Sharper and more substantive
|
||||
- Shows critical thinking + specific worldview
|
||||
- Witty but with edge
|
||||
- Filters for intellectual equals
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Use Draft 1 or Draft 3 - they balance wit with substance and communicate your values without being preachy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid These Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Too controversial (political hot takes)
|
||||
❌ Too generic ("pizza is the best food")
|
||||
❌ Too silly without substance ("aliens run the government")
|
||||
❌ Trying too hard to be deep ("we're all just stardust")
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Specific observation + wit
|
||||
✅ Shows your thinking style
|
||||
✅ Invites conversation
|
||||
✅ Authentic to YOU

|
||||
|
||||
### Pure Self-Promotion (No Partner Preference)
|

- Proof I have musical talent
|
||||
- My best celebrity impression
|

- Saying "Hi!" in as many languages I know
|
||||
|
||||
### Just Fun Facts (Low Substance)
|
||||
- How to pronounce my name
|
||||
- My best Dad Joke

||||
|
||||
### Potentially Negative Framing

# What I Want - Reflection Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Relationship Type & Goals
|
||||
|
||||
### What are you looking for right now?
|
||||
- [ ] Casual dating / exploring
|
||||
- [x] Something that could become serious (exploring but taking it seriously)
|
||||
- [ ] Definitely looking for a long-term relationship
|
||||
- [ ] Not sure yet, open to seeing where it goes
|
||||
|
||||
### Timeline & Commitment
|
||||
- Open to exploring but serious about finding something real (not casual)
|
||||
- Ideally in a committed relationship within 3 years
|
||||
- Life is stable - no major career changes planned
|
||||
- Travel is important but in reasonable chunks (max 1 month)
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Still exploring but pretty serious about it. Not looking for casual hookups. Want to find something that could develop into a real relationship within the next few years.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Values & Lifestyle Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### What matters most to you in daily life?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Work/Career:** Work 40hrs/week from home, value free time highly. Upper middle class financially, not very career-driven. Partner's career doesn't matter as long as it's not 80hrs/week and they put in effort.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Social life:** More introverted with a sizeable friend group, but fine on my own. Don't need partner to match social style exactly - important that we don't have to do everything together.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Health/Fitness:** Work out daily. Partner should be active but doesn't have to be extreme. Must be able to join annual skiing trips.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Creativity/Hobbies:** Books, movies, TV series, podcasts, gaming, working out - all solitary activities. Would be nice if shared but not a dealbreaker. More important that she respects my hobbies and has her own passions.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Adventure vs Routine:** Naturally routine-oriented (that's my default state), but would actually welcome someone who injects spontaneity into my life.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Home life:** Mix of both - independent lives with flexibility for together time.
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Independence is key. Want someone with their own life who doesn't need to be joined at the hip. Value having lots of free time and personal space.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Communication & Emotional Needs
|
||||
|
||||
### How do you need to feel in a relationship?
|
||||
- Need space when stressed - can work through things myself
|
||||
- Want support available but NOT someone proactively trying to help/solve everything
|
||||
- Someone who can be there for me without hovering
|
||||
- Offloading stress through conversation is nice, but on my terms
|
||||
|
||||
### Communication style you appreciate:
|
||||
- Very direct communication - this is essential
|
||||
- Want a partner who is equally direct and honest
|
||||
- At 34, both will have independent lives - don't need constant check-ins
|
||||
- Natural flow works better than scheduled relationship talks
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Support without hovering. Be there when I need you but don't try to manage my problems. Direct, honest communication always.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Intellectual & Personal Growth
|
||||
|
||||
### What kind of conversations energize you?
|
||||
Deep conversations with wit injected. The balance between substance and humor is important.
|
||||
|
||||
### Personal growth & learning:
|
||||
- Partner MUST be intellectually curious
|
||||
- Intelligence becomes less critical if she's solid/expert in her own domain
|
||||
- We will challenge each other's thinking
|
||||
- MUST remain intellectually honest - no dogmatic beliefs
|
||||
- **Shared sense of humor is absolutely essential** - what would be the point otherwise?
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Sharp mind, witty banter, deep conversations. We can disagree and challenge each other but have to stay honest about it. Humor compatibility is non-negotiable.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Deal-Breakers & Non-Negotiables
|
||||
|
||||
### Hard boundaries (actual deal-breakers):
|
||||
|
||||
**Kids:** NO kids. Non-negotiable.
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** Relocating might be a problem depending on timelines. Netherlands is small so everything is close by, but still a consideration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Religion/Beliefs:**
|
||||
- Very religious = dealbreaker
|
||||
- ANY dogmatic beliefs = dealbreaker
|
||||
- Must be intellectually honest
|
||||
|
||||
**Politics/Values:**
|
||||
- I'm center-left, progressive
|
||||
- She can't be far-right or far-left
|
||||
- MUST be progressive (not conservative)
|
||||
|
||||
**Financial:**
|
||||
- Upper middle class would be nice
|
||||
- But real requirement: has a job where she puts in effort
|
||||
- As long as somewhat responsible with money, don't care
|
||||
|
||||
**Substance Use:**
|
||||
- Occasional hard drugs fine, even great (few times per year max)
|
||||
- ZERO smoking - absolute dealbreaker
|
||||
|
||||
**Relationship Dynamics:**
|
||||
- No drama or backhanded behavior
|
||||
- Can't need me to "take charge"
|
||||
- Can't want princess treatment
|
||||
- MUST be equals in the relationship
|
||||
|
||||
**Physical:**
|
||||
- Must take care of herself
|
||||
- Can't be overweight (doesn't have to be slim, but can't be fat)
|
||||
|
||||
### Green Flags (what excites you):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sharp mind** - can build common understanding quickly
|
||||
- **The knowing look** - instant recognition that we "get" each other
|
||||
- **Direct communication** - no games, no hidden meanings
|
||||
- **Equals mentality** - neither of us leads, we're partners
|
||||
- **Spontaneous** - brings energy and spontaneity to my routine-oriented life
|
||||
- **Forward without being obnoxious** - confident and direct
|
||||
- **Witty** - can match my humor and banter
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Physical & Chemistry
|
||||
|
||||
### What creates attraction for you?
|
||||
|
||||
**Personality traits:**
|
||||
- Spontaneous
|
||||
- Witty and sharp mind
|
||||
- Forward without being obnoxious
|
||||
- Takes care of herself (physically and otherwise)
|
||||
|
||||
**Physical:**
|
||||
- Not overweight (doesn't have to be slim, but can't be fat)
|
||||
- Takes care of her body and health
|
||||
|
||||
**Energy/Chemistry:**
|
||||
- That instant "knowing look" connection
|
||||
- Shared humor clicking immediately
|
||||
- Intellectual banter that flows naturally
|
||||
- Forward confidence
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Chemistry comes from mental sharpness, wit, and that instant recognition. Physical attraction requires someone who clearly takes care of themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Practical Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### Daily life compatibility:
|
||||
|
||||
**Schedule:** Can be both morning person and night owl - flexible. Doesn't matter if we're on different schedules.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cleanliness:** Not very clean/organized but want to be. Fine leaving things out if actively using them. Living alone for long time means can't really make a huge mess anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
**Planning:** Usually fine with spontaneity. If I think there needs to be a plan, I'll make one. Flexible either way.
|
||||
|
||||
**Money:** Live well within my means, and my means are pretty roomy. Don't care what partner does with their money as long as somewhat responsible. Effort in work matters more than income.
|
||||
|
||||
**Free time:** Random free Saturday = likely doing separate activities. If we plan something together, that's great too. If it's a completely free day with no plans, we'll probably have already decided to do something together in advance.
|
||||
|
||||
**My thoughts:**
|
||||
Very flexible on practical day-to-day stuff. Independent lives that overlap when it makes sense.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Reflection Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Top 5 things I'm looking for:
|
||||
1. **Sharp, witty mind with shared humor** - intellectually curious, can banter, we get each other's jokes
|
||||
2. **Independent but connected** - has her own life, doesn't need to do everything together, equals in the relationship
|
||||
3. **Direct and honest communication** - no games, no drama, straightforward
|
||||
4. **Progressive values** - center-left, not dogmatic, intellectually honest
|
||||
5. **Active and spontaneous** - takes care of herself, can join skiing trips, injects spontaneity into my routine
|
||||
|
||||
### Top 3 deal-breakers:
|
||||
1. **Wants kids** - absolute no
|
||||
2. **Drama/games/traditional gender roles** - need equals, no princess treatment or needing me to take charge
|
||||
3. **Smoking** - zero tolerance (occasional other substances fine)
|
||||
|
||||
### The vibe I want in a relationship:
|
||||
Two independent people who have their own lives, interests, and friends, but choose to build something together. We challenge each other intellectually while staying honest, share a sense of humor that just clicks, and give each other space when needed. No drama, no games - just two equals who genuinely enjoy each other's company and can be both deep and playful. She brings spontaneity to my routine; I bring stability to her energy.

||||

## Draft Answers (Based on What You Want)
|
||||
|
||||
### "I want someone who"
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 1 (Direct about independence):**
|
||||
"...has her own life and doesn't need to do everything together. We should be two independent people who choose to build something, not two halves trying to make a whole."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 2 (Humor focus):**
|
||||
"...gets my jokes without explanation. What's the point otherwise? Also: can ski, won't try to fix all my problems, and thinks traditional gender roles are bullshit."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Values-focused):**
|
||||
"...challenges my thinking but stays intellectually honest. Progressive, direct communicator, independent. Bonus points if you bring spontaneity to my very routine life."
|
||||
|
||||
---

||||
**Draft 2 (Equals mentality):**

|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Balanced):**
|
||||
"Intellectual curiosity, direct communication, and that rare combo of depth and humor. Someone who's comfortable being independent but also knows when to be there. No drama, no games."
|
||||
|
||||
---

||||
|
||||
### "Let's make sure we're on the same page about"
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 1 (No kids - direct):**

||||
**Draft 2 (Softer but clear):**

|
||||
"...routine gets a bad rap. Give me someone who brings spontaneity to my structured life and I'll show you adventure with a breakfast schedule."
|
||||
|
||||
---

||||
### "First round is on me if"

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 2 (Specific passion):**
|
||||
"Whatever I'm currently obsessed with - could be a podcast series, training methodology, or why some common belief is completely wrong. I geek out hard."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Meta/witty):**
|
||||
"The fact that we both need independent lives to make this work. Also: the perfect espresso, strength training progressions, and obscure film photography techniques."

||||
### "I know the best spot in town for"
|
||||

"[Insert actual favorite spot] - but only sharing if you promise not to need constant plans. Sometimes the best nights are the spontaneous ones."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Playful):**

"Deep conversations over good coffee. Or mediocre coffee. Honestly the conversation matters more, but why settle?"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### "A shower thought I recently had"
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 1 (Relationships):**
|
||||
"People say 'opposites attract' but really it's 'independently whole people who complement each other attract.' Needing someone is a red flag, choosing them is the point."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 2 (Witty observation):**
|
||||
"Most people confuse being busy with being productive, and confuse codependency with love. Related thoughts."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Original take):**
|
||||
"The best relationships are two people with full lives who make space for each other, not two people filling each other's gaps. Also: why do ski resorts keep [specific pet peeve]?"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### "I'll fall for you if"
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 1 (Comprehensive):**
|
||||
"...we can challenge each other's thinking without it becoming a thing, your idea of fun includes both deep conversations and spontaneous adventures, and that 'knowing look' just clicks."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 2 (Humor-focused):**
|
||||
"...our humor syncs up instantly, you have your own life and passions, and you think 'I need space' is a sign of health not a problem. Bonus: can ski."
|
||||
|
||||
**Draft 3 (Direct):**
|
||||
"...you're sharp, direct, progressive, and treat partnership as equals not roles. Also if you bring spontaneity to my routine-heavy life while respecting that I actually like structure."

||||

### General advise
|
||||
|
||||
### Good prompts
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that allow **self-disclosure of something unique** (originality)
|
||||
E.g., “A shower thought I recently had…”, “Two truths and a lie…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that encourage showing a **sense of purpose / values / goals**
|
||||
E.g., “This year I really want to…”, “My life goal is…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that clarify what you’re **looking for in a partner / relationship**
|
||||
E.g., “I want someone who…”, “If we match it’s because…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that invite **conversation / allow someone to respond** (less studied but implied)
|
||||
E.g., “Ask me about…” or “You should go out with me to save me from…”
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that balance personality (humour, wit) + substance (values/goal)
|
||||
Because originality and meaning both matter.
|
||||
### Bad propmps
|
||||
- Prompts purely about “fun facts” without linking to values may engage but may not filter for compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that are too generic or cliché lack originality — and the originality study showed originality matters. [ResearchGate](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364420243_Originality_in_online_dating_profile_texts_How_does_perceived_originality_affect_impression_formation_and_what_makes_a_text_original?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompts that devote _all_ text to self-promotion (hobbies, “Paragliding, yoga, indie bands…” as in the Berkeley study) but omit partner-preferences are less effective. [Haas News | Berkeley Haas](https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/research/research-reveals-the-key-to-an-irresistible-online-dating-profile/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

## General Remarks
|
||||
Delaying my breakfast is currently (end of June 2025) pretty effortless. The main problem is fasting without muscle loss and taking medication that needs some food, mainly ibuprofen. I need to check if drinking a protein shake starts my hunger response.
|
||||
## Diet Log
|
||||
2025-09-01,2695 , slightly over, did not have a proper hot meal.
|
||||
2025-09-02, 3075, had a few drinks.
|
||||
2025-09-29, large meal
|
||||
2025-09-30, hunger even after dinner.
|
||||
2025-10-01, had a few drinks
|
||||
2025-10-02, Hungery, but then again had a bit of THC
|
||||
|
||||
2025-06-23 Was starving, did consume THC though.
|
||||
2025-06-24 Did some binge eating, probably because of THC.
|
||||
2025-06-26, Diet went pretty good, I did eat finish the gingerbread when I saw it laying around.
|
||||
2025-06-29, 2702 kcal. Two beers and in the afternoon a peanut butter sandwich. But more importantly, I think 1800 kcal is not enough.
|
||||
2025-06-30, 2735 kcal. Was starving during cooking just after running. Got hungry again after I thought about food.
|
||||
2025-07-01, Tried the protein shake at the start of the day, it did really trigger my hunger response, however I did eat quite a bit of tomatoes.
|
||||
2025-07-02, Slowing down my eating seems to work. For example eating only a single sandwich was fine and combined with the quark it was very filling.
|
||||
2025-07-02, Quark is really filling, this might be the way.
|
||||
2025-07-03, Forced myself to go to bed early with THC and a beer. Did work a bit but also I was hungry so had a sandwich.
|
||||

## Should We Put it in the Water?
|
||||
It won't work for the most obese people, those would be the ones where their weight is a result of some psychological condition. The only thing you will do is take away their method of stress relief.
|
||||
We still need to solve the problem that people can't feed themselves properly, either due to a lack of knowledge or access to proper food.
|
||||
Doesn't really matter: in 2032, the patent expires, and in China, it expires in 2026.
|
||||
|
||||
## Should I Start Using Ozempic?
|
||||
For a lot of people, using Ozempic is just treating the symptoms of an underlying condition. So first of all, let's try to find out why I cannot stick to my diet.

## Mornings
|
||||
Desloratadine
|
||||
Fexofenadine
|
||||
|
||||
## Evenings
|
||||
Fexofenadine
|
||||
Cetirizine
|
||||
|
||||
Loratadine occasionally
|
||||
Hazelastine nasal spray
|
||||
Levocabastine nasal spray
|

Disodium cromoglicate
|
||||
Azelastine hydrochloride never really worked
|
||||
|
||||
As a child I had a lot of trouble primarily with my eyes. Slime strings and tearful. That decreased until high school where it was nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
Until 2015, it got less troublesome.
|
||||
After that, I occasionally used loratadine especially in the evenings. In 2020 I also started to use it during the day. In 2021/22 I bought one of everything and chose fexofenadine. That worked perfectly.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2024 I went to the GP and received desloratadine. Initially, I took it with fexofenadine but later experimented without it.
|
||||
After a week, I got fed up and bought an air filter for the bedroom. That improved my sleep, so the biggest problem was solved.
|
||||
After that, I still had some issues during the day and in the evenings while outside, but manageable. Perhaps due to the bad weather. At the end of July, I went on vacation to Bali, during and after which I had no more issues.
|
||||

On the first of May, I fell while climbing over something and slipping, landing with my full weight just below my knee. Initially, it was painful but not more than you would expect, considering the circumstances. The swelling was less than I expected. I even finished my run and when on a run on the 5th.
|
||||
However, the pain didn't disappear, so I stopped running and playing padel. I did continue with my strength training, although at a much lower weight when training my legs. On the 23rd of June (after about 7 weeks), I asked my doctor about it, and he told me to rest and take a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for at least the next two weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
I have stopped taking the NSAIs for a week now, today (18th juni) I can fill my knee a bit not painful but it is sensitive. But I also started running again.

## Implementation Phases
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Oracle Cloud Setup (1-2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** Provision and secure the ARM VM
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Create Oracle Cloud account (if needed)
|
||||
- [ ] Provision ARM VM instance:
|
||||
- Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex
|
||||
- OCPU: 4
|
||||
- RAM: 24GB
|
||||
- Boot volume: 50GB (default)
|
||||
- Image: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (ARM64)
|
||||
- Region: Choose based on availability
|
||||
- [ ] Configure Oracle Security Lists (firewall):
|
||||
- Allow inbound: 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 3000 (CapRover initial setup)
|
||||
- Allow inbound: 996, 7946, 4789, 2377 (CapRover/Docker Swarm)
|
||||
- [ ] Note public IP address
|
||||
- [ ] Set up SSH key authentication
|
||||
- [ ] SSH into VM and verify access
|
||||
|
||||
**Deliverable:** Accessible Ubuntu VM with public IP
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Server Foundation (30 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** Install Docker and prepare for CapRover
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update system
|
||||
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
|
||||
|
||||
# Install Docker Engine
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
|
||||
sudo sh get-docker.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Add user to docker group
|
||||
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
|
||||
newgrp docker
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify Docker installation
|
||||
docker --version
|
||||
docker run hello-world
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure firewall (UFW)
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 3000/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 996/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 7946/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 4789/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 2377/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable automatic security updates
|
||||
sudo apt install unattended-upgrades -y
|
||||
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Deliverable:** VM with Docker installed and firewall configured
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: DNS Configuration (10 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** Point domain to Oracle VM

## Git Server: Forgejo vs Gitea
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Chose **Gitea** ✅
|
||||
**Rationale:** CapRover one-click support, faster setup, adequate for personal use
|
||||
|
||||
### Forgejo Deep Dive
|
||||
|
||||
**What is Forgejo:**
|
||||
- Community-driven fork of Gitea (since Oct 2022)
|
||||
- Managed by non-profit Codeberg e.V.
|
||||
- Hard fork as of v10.0 (Jan 2025)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Forgejo Would Be Better:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Security Practices:**
|
||||
- Public security advisories for everyone (vs Gitea's paying-customers-only)
|
||||
- Proactive disclosure to Gitea team before public release
|
||||
- Faster vulnerability patching
|
||||
- Example: At FOSDEM 2025, demonstrated Forgejo Runner fixed all security issues while Gitea Runner remains vulnerable
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Development Activity (2024-2025):**
|
||||
- 232 contributors vs Gitea's 153
|
||||
- 3,039 commits vs Gitea's 1,228 (last 12 months)
|
||||
- 2.5x more active development
|
||||
- More frequent releases
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Governance:**
|
||||
- Community-governed non-profit
|
||||
- No corporate control
|
||||
- Free/libre software commitment
|
||||
- Developed using Forgejo (dogfooding)
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Features (v10.0, Jan 2025):**
|
||||
- Revamped repository dialog
|
||||
- Modify Git notes via API/UI
|
||||
- Markdown table creation button
|
||||
- Consolidated issues/PRs view
|
||||
- Improved TOTP security (keying module)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why We Didn't Choose Forgejo:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No CapRover one-click app** (only feature request from Dec 2023)
|
||||
2. Manual Docker Compose setup required (15-30 minutes vs 5 minutes)
|
||||
3. Smaller user base (less community support)
|
||||
4. Harder fork = no easy migration path from Gitea after v1.22
|
||||
5. Overkill for personal knowledge repository hosting
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Concerns with Gitea:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Advanced security notices only for paying customers
|
||||
- Feb 2024: Published vulnerability fix embedded in large refactor, breaking embargo
|
||||
- Prioritized SOC2 audit (for SaaS business) over critical community releases
|
||||
- "Repeatedly leaves admins exposed to known vulnerabilities for extended periods"
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Reconsider Forgejo:**
|
||||
|
||||
- If hosting sensitive/production code
|
||||
- If security transparency is critical
|
||||
- If supporting FOSS governance matters to you
|
||||
- If you don't mind manual Docker setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual Forgejo Deployment on CapRover:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Custom CapRover app definition
|
||||
services:
|
||||
forgejo:
|
||||
image: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:10
|
||||
restart: always
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- forgejo-data:/data
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "3000:3000"
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- USER_UID=1000
|
||||
- USER_GID=1000
|
||||
- FORGEJO__database__DB_TYPE=sqlite3
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
forgejo-data:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration Path (if needed later):**
|
||||
- Gitea v1.22 or below can migrate to Forgejo
|
||||
- After Gitea v1.23, migration no longer supported
|
||||
- CapRover Gitea is on v1.21.1, so migration possible

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Container Runtime: Docker vs Podman
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Chose **Docker** ✅
|
||||
**Rationale:** Required by CapRover (Docker Swarm dependency)
|
||||
|
||||
### Podman Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**What is Podman:**
|
||||
- Daemonless, rootless container engine
|
||||
- Drop-in replacement for Docker
|
||||
- Better security model (rootless by default)
|
||||
- Kubernetes-native (generates K8s YAML from pods)
|
||||
|
||||
**Advantages of Podman:**
|
||||
- **Rootless by default** - containers run as non-privileged users
|
||||
- **No daemon** - no dockerd background process (reduced attack surface)
|
||||
- **Kubernetes-native** - easier path to K8s if needed
|
||||
- **Oracle Linux native** - officially supported on Oracle's OS
|
||||
- **Better security** - no root daemon, container breakout harder
|
||||
|
||||
**Why NOT Podman:**
|
||||
- ❌ **CapRover incompatible** - CapRover requires Docker Swarm
|
||||
- ❌ **Podman explicitly won't implement Swarm** - architectural decision
|
||||
- ❌ **Less GUI tooling** - Portainer has limited Podman support
|
||||
- ❌ **Smaller ecosystem** - fewer tutorials and solutions
|
||||
- ❌ **Docker Compose compatibility** - improved but not 100%
|
||||
|
||||
**CapRover + Podman = Impossible:**
|
||||
From CapRover GitHub discussions:
|
||||
> "CapRover is built with Docker Swarm, and Podman has docker-compose capability now, but it seems explicitly unwilling to implement swarm capabilities."
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use Podman:**
|
||||
- CLI-only workflow (no GUI needed)
|
||||
- Maximum security is paramount (defense/aerospace)
|
||||
- Running rootless containers is hard requirement
|
||||
- Deploying to Kubernetes eventually (Podman → K8s YAML)
|
||||
- Oracle Linux and want native tooling
|
||||
|
||||
**Rootless Docker Alternative:**
|
||||
If you want rootless security with Docker:
|
||||
- Docker has rootless mode (not default, but available)
|
||||
- Run: `dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`
|
||||
- Not as mature as Podman's implementation
|
||||
- Some features limited (like Swarm)
|
||||
|
||||
**Verdict:** Docker is required for CapRover. If you want better security, consider Docker's rootless mode after setup, but be aware of limitations.

|
||||
## Reverse Proxy: Alternatives to CapRover's Built-in Nginx
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use **CapRover's built-in proxy** ✅
|
||||
**Rationale:** Automatic, integrated with app deployments, no separate setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 1: Traefik
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Modern, cloud-native reverse proxy and load balancer
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Automatic service discovery via Docker labels
|
||||
- Built-in Let's Encrypt support (automatic SSL)
|
||||
- Modern architecture, designed for dynamic containers
|
||||
- Great for microservices
|
||||
- Dashboard for monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Steeper learning curve
|
||||
- Configuration via Docker labels can be verbose
|
||||
- Requires manual setup and configuration
|
||||
- Need to manage separately from apps
|
||||
|
||||
**Example configuration:**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
- "traefik.enable=true"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.app.rule=Host(`app.yourdomain.com`)"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.app.entrypoints=websecure"
|
||||
- "traefik.http.routers.app.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Dynamic container environments, microservices, learning modern proxy tech
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** CapRover already provides this functionality automatically
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 2: Caddy
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Web server with automatic HTTPS
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- **Zero-config HTTPS** - automatically gets Let's Encrypt certificates
|
||||
- Simple Caddyfile syntax (easier than Nginx)
|
||||
- Built-in reverse proxy
|
||||
- Great for simple setups
|
||||
- Modern and actively developed
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Less dynamic than Traefik (more manual config per service)
|
||||
- Need to restart/reload for config changes
|
||||
- Less automation than CapRover's approach
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Caddyfile:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
app.yourdomain.com {
|
||||
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Simple setups, users who want easy HTTPS without complexity
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** Still manual configuration, CapRover does this automatically
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 3: Nginx Proxy Manager
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Nginx with beautiful GUI for managing proxies and SSL
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- **Beautiful web GUI** - easiest to use visually
|
||||
- Point-and-click SSL certificate management
|
||||
- Great for beginners
|
||||
- Visual workflow for adding services
|
||||
- Nice dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Another container to deploy and manage
|
||||
- Less automation than Traefik or CapRover
|
||||
- Manual configuration for each service (though via GUI)
|
||||
- Separate tool to learn
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Users who prefer GUI over config files, clean architecture
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** CapRover already does this, adding NPM would be redundant
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Domain Strategy: Alternatives to Cloudflare
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use **existing Cloudflare domain** ✅
|
||||
**Rationale:** Already owned, free DNS, reliable
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 1: DuckDNS
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Free dynamic DNS service
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Completely free (subdomain + DNS)
|
||||
- Simple setup
|
||||
- Good for testing/personal projects
|
||||
- No account needed (just a token)
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Shared domain (yourname.duckdns.org)
|
||||
- Less professional
|
||||
- Limited to single subdomain or wildcard
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
yourname.duckdns.org → Your Oracle IP
|
||||
*.yourname.duckdns.org → Your Oracle IP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Testing, don't want to buy domain, quick setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** User already has Cloudflare domain
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 2: Tailscale (Private Network)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Zero-config VPN / mesh network
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- **Most secure** - no public exposure at all
|
||||
- Access services via private Tailscale network only
|
||||
- Free for personal use (up to 100 devices)
|
||||
- Works on iPad easily
|
||||
- No need for public SSL certs (can use Tailscale HTTPS)
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Services only accessible via Tailscale (not public internet)
|
||||
- Need Tailscale installed on all devices
|
||||
- More complex for sharing with others
|
||||
- Not traditional "cloud hosting"
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Install Tailscale on Oracle VM
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
|
||||
sudo tailscale up
|
||||
|
||||
# Access services via Tailscale IPs
|
||||
http://100.x.x.x:3000 (CapRover)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** Maximum security, private development, accessing from specific devices only
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** User wants public access from anywhere (not just Tailscale network)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative Architectures
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-VM Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Split services across multiple ARM VMs (Oracle Free Tier allows up to 4 ARM cores total, divisible)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
VM1 (1 core, 6GB RAM):
|
||||
- CapRover
|
||||
- Nginx Proxy Manager
|
||||
- Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
VM2 (3 cores, 18GB RAM):
|
||||
- Gitea
|
||||
- code-server
|
||||
- Application containers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Isolation between management and apps
|
||||
- Can rebuild one VM without affecting the other
|
||||
- Better resource allocation
|
||||
- Failure isolation
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- More complex networking setup
|
||||
- Two VMs to manage and secure
|
||||
- Network latency between VMs
|
||||
- More complex backup strategy
|
||||
- Overkill for personal use
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** Single VM is simpler and sufficient for personal use case
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes (K3s) on Oracle Cloud
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is:** Lightweight Kubernetes distribution
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Industry-standard orchestration
|
||||
- Scalable architecture
|
||||
- Great learning experience
|
||||
- Better for microservices
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Massive overkill for this use case
|
||||
- Much more complex to set up and manage
|
||||
- Higher resource overhead
|
||||
- Steeper learning curve
|
||||
- No "one-click apps" like CapRover
|
||||
|
||||
**Why we didn't choose it:** Far too complex for personal Git + code-server setup
|
||||
