An opinionated guide to Sauna.

By NVK 🌐 🐦

Introduction

 Updated from the Sauna, October 7th 2024

After years of experimenting with different sauna types, I’ve developed strong
opinions on the subject. The purpose of this article is to share these opinions
with anyone who is interested in them and, hopefully, help others get more out
of their sauna experience.

I’m certain my opinions will offend some, including all the people who (in my
view) are doing it wrong. I know that saunas are important to many cultures
around the world and that my strongly held opinions may offend some of those
cultures.

Mind you, although I grew up in South America, I do have a fair amount of slavic
blood in me. When I was a child, my grandfather regularly took me with him to
the shvitz. One of my fondest memories from this time was the “Scottish Bath”,
which involves standing against the sauna wall, execution-style, so that someone
can spray you with freezing water from a high pressure hose.  I’ve never heard
of this outside of South American and can’t attest to whether it has any real
Scottish origins.

The various health claims about using a sauna are beyond the scope of this
article. All I have to say is that, like many things in my life, like Bitcoin,
the meat/keto diet, and fasting, I find sauna to be yet another cheat code to
life: it’s a simple thing that just makes life a lot better. If you want a good
primer on scientific health benefits of sauna, I recommend starting with this article by Rhonda
Patric. She goes in depth.

To be clear, it should go without saying that I am not a medical expert or
professional. None of the opinions below are, or should be interpreted as,
medical advice. There are many people for whom sauna use is not recommended. It
would be prudent for any sauna user to consult with his or her doctor before
entering a sauna.

Thanks to S. for taking the time to do a very helpful first review of this
article. And thanks to The Wife for helping make my words legible and helping me
make time to sauna–I don’t know which sacrifice was bigger.

Banya or Nothing

When I talk about saunas, I’m talking about a sauna with a stove, either wood or
electric, that allows for steam. I call this “Banya style”. To be clear, I’m
distinguishing between saunas and steam baths. Steam baths have their own place,
but they aren’t my thing and I don’t consider them saunas.

A breakdown of the main types of saunas may be helpful, so you know which to
avoid:

Wet saunas, which are typically cedar rooms with wood burning or electric
stoves onto which you throw liquid to create steam (I call this “Banya style”);

Dry saunas, which are typically cedar rooms with wood burning or electric
stoves without added steam (like Korean style saunas); and

Infrared saunas, which, unlike traditional saunas, don’t heat the
surrounding air. Instead, they use infrared panels to warm your body directly.

In my opinion, it’s Banya style or nothing. I’m not a huge fan of dry saunas,
and I don’t even bother with infrared saunas. Infrared is a fiat-shitcoin. I
want steam!

How to Sauna

Sauna Etiquette

If you read no other part of this already-too-long-article, read this.

Saunas are social places. There are proper ways of being in a sauna with others,
and there are ways to do it wrong. You don’t want to be the person who ruins it
for everyone. Here are some important etiquette tips:

Silence vs. Chatting: It’s not a question of whether you have
to stay silent in a sauna or if it’s ok to talk. It depends on the circumstances
and who else is around. If you’re using a sauna that isn’t your own, ask the
staff about the preferred custom. The noise level in a sauna differs depending
on the group in the sauna at a particular time. If you do want to chat with
others, there’s nothing wrong with that. But, pay attention to whether there are
others in the sauna who'd prefer it quiet.  And definitely do NOT be obnoxiously
loud – yes, I’m looking at you bachelor(ette) group who just discovered the
Russian Banya.

Coming and Going: People rotate in and out of the sauna at
different paces, so there will be people coming and going during your shvitz.
But there are ways to come and go that are considerate and proper.

Keep the f-ing door closed (which was the working title of this article). Once
you leave, don’t come back inside moments later. Doing so disturbs your fellow
sauna users, lets out the all-important steam, and prevents the sauna from
reaching an appropriate temperature.

If you’re in the sauna with a group of friends, try to coordinate your comings
and goings so you’re all on the same cycle.

If you can only last 5 min at a sauna, don’t go in too often at the risk of
ruining it for others (assuming it’s not your own private sauna).

Be fast when closing the sauna door when you come or leave. Otherwise, you will
get dirty looks from others and may even hear mumbles of “quick quick, fast
fast” from a Gray Beard. And you will deserve it.

Never open the door right after someone puts water on the stove to make steam.
It’s all about the steam. Don’t waste it.

Controlling the heat:  if you can’t handle the heat in the
sauna, don’t just turn the heat down, because it ruins it for others. Instead,
go to a lower bench or get out and take your break. Saunas are meant to be hot.
That’s the whole point.

Personal Hygiene: Shower before you go into the sauna. Don’t
wear perfume, smelly deodorant, or fragrant lotions. Smells get amplified in a
sauna. Have a towel under you, don't leave your drippings behind. Best yet, make a Z with your towel, this covers your butt and down under your feet.

Clothing: sauna is not a place for wearing clothing. It is a place to get back to nature. If you are shy, just wrap a towel around yourself. People ask if I don't feel awkward, the answer is no. Who cares, humans naked is not novel. In many countries, it is strictly forbidden to wear clothing or bring anything but a towel into the sauna. It's understandable that may not be possible in North American public saunas on mix gender "family" days. If you have to wear something, then wear something 100% cotton or marino wool. You don't want plastic being backed into your genitals. One more thing, leave the watch out as it gets hot and will burn you. Also, flip-flops/sandals, stay outside.

Some saunas sell body scrubs and masks for you to apply before or in the sauna.
Note that once in the heat, these can get goopy and drippy and may melt into
your eyes and mouth. So (in this opinionated guides’ wife’s opinion), they are
better in theory than reality.

Adding Oils and scents: As discussed below, it can be nice to
add certain oils and other scents to the steam. But if there are others in the
sauna, ask first before you do.

Where and how to sit: Hot air rises. So, the higher benches are
hotter and the lower benches are cooler. If you are a newbie, pick a lower bench
so you don’t have to leave as quickly and open the door unnecessarily.

It’s great to lay down in the sauna, but if it gets crowded, sit up to make room
for others.

When moving around to find your seat, don’t walk on the benches in your sandals.
Leave your sandals outside the sauna or on the sauna floor.

Sauna Temperature

In most proper Russian style Banyas you will find temperatures of 80-95 degrees
celsius, which, in my opinion, is the best range. Thats near your body. "Offical" on the dial will he 100-120C. But sometimes you want to take
it a little easier or last a little longer in the sauna. In these cases, 65-85 at body, dial at 80-100.
degrees celsius will do.

However, if your sauna is below 85 degrees celsius on the dial, you might as well just go
hide under your bed sheets and not waste your time.

At some saunas in hotels, gyms, or spas, you may not be allowed to set the sauna
as high as you’d like (see below). There are many tricks to circumvent these
frustrating restrictions, but my legal counsel has advised me not to go into any
details here.

Sauna Duration

The amount of time you spend in the sauna is a matter of personal preference and
depends on the number of cycles you do (more on cycles, below).

For your first round, my opinion is that most people should try to last 15
minutes in the sauna. If a sauna is at the proper temperature, most people will
struggle to stay inside any longer. If you can stay inside for 20-30 minutes,
your sauna is probably too cold and/or there is not enough steam. Many saunas
have hourglasses inside to keep time, and I’ve never seen a sauna hourglass with
more than 15 minutes, which should be a good hint.

 My preferred is;

Cold Plunge => Sauna 15 min => Cold Plunge => Hydrate with Salt & Water, Rest 5-10min => Sauna 15min => Cold Plunge => Hydrate with Salt & Water, Rest 5-10min => Sauna 15min => Cold Plunge => Hydrate with Salt & Water, Rest

if you can rest in the sun even better (no sunscreen poison please). You can add alcohol drinks to the hydration if you feel comfortable with that. But only add food after the last cycle.

For subsequent rounds, hydration starts to play a bigger role in how long you
stay inside. Most people seem to last longer on their first round than on their
second or third. If you can do 15 minutes on your second round, great. But 5-10
minutes is also fine.

Sauna Cycles

The traditional Russian Banya method (and in this writer’s opinion, the best
method) is to do sauna cycles. Go into the sauna and just stay as long as you
can take it (up to 15 minutes or so). Then take a cold shower and/or cold plunge
(see below). Then robe-up and go relax with water, tea or beer. Once you start
feeling “normal” again, repeat. For me, three cycles is the sweet spot. I’ll do
more cycles if I’m spending the day at the Banya facility. If I’m at home, where
I often sauna every other day, I find just one or two cycles does the trick.
Sometimes I add a cycle or two on the weekend.

Occasionally, I like to go into the sauna as it’s warming up and before it
reaches optimum heat (i.e. at around 60 degree celsius). This way, I can stay
longer in the sauna for my first round (about 30-40 minutes). If I take this
approach, I generally only do one more short round after my cold plunge.

Cold showers and plunges

In my experience, you want to take a cold shower or a cold plunge (or both, plunge is better)
after the sauna cycle.After you come out of the sauna,
immediately jump into cold plunge for a bit, i don't like to stay too long. Some Banya facilities
will have a bucket filled with cold water that you can pull with a string to let
the water pour over you, pull a couple times. The banyas may also have a cold pool of water into
which you can plunge for a bit.

If I’m at my country place, after I get out of the sauna I jump into the cold
lake. If it’s winter, I like to roll in the snow, which is satisfying. Some
cultures would say that it’s not a real sauna experience unless you roll in at
least one foot of snow.

After your cold shower or plunge, put on a warm robe and go relax before going
back into the sauna. I like to relax for 5-20 minutes, depending on how much
time I have. This allows the body’s temperature to decrease slowly. I do not
recommend going directly back into the sauna after your cold plunge. If you
don’t give yourself enough time after the cold plunge, you will overheat and
won’t last very long when you return to the sauna.

Position

There really are no rules here. The way you position yourself in the sauna
depends on your mood and preference, and there are many options. For example,
you can sauna seated with your legs hanging down or with your knees up. You can
lie down if there’s room. My favorite position is to lie down on my back with my
legs up against the wall and, assuming the ceiling is low enough, with my feet
stretched against the ceiling. This is a great way to stretch the hamstrings
(check out stretching under “Sauna Activities”, below).

Choosing whether to sit on a higher bencher or lower bench is the best way to
control the temperature you experience without adjusting the room temperature
itself. You will notice the heat in the sauna increases exponentially every inch
you go up. If you are struggling to stay in the sauna but don’t want to get out
just yet, try moving down to a lower bench to last a little longer. Lying on the
floor is the coolest spot and a great place for kids to start getting exposed to
saunas.

There is no shame in going to lower benches or even the floor, there is only shame in opening the door before 15min

Getting Steamy

Without steam, the sauna would just be a sad, hot oven (I’m looking at you,
infrared sauna).

The steam in the sauna has many benefits but most importantly it increases the
thermal coupling of your body to the air and it feels great.

The amount of steam in the sauna is a matter of personal taste. You don’t want
to make it into a steam room (remember, steam rooms are NOT saunas). But, you do
want the sauna to be very moist. I find that two to four ladles of water in a
mid-size sauna every five to seven minutes does the trick. Keep it between
50-60% humidity.

I keep a bucket of water in the sauna at all times so that I can continue to
ladle water as I shvitz. Make sure to get a wood bucket and a metal ladle with a
wooden handle. Wood ladles will crack, and if the handle is metal, it’ll burn
you when you grab it.

If, when you enter the sauna, it’s already been on for a while, the wood is
likely to already be wet and the sauna full of steam, so you may not need to add
too much water. However, if you’ve just turned on the sauna and the wood walls
are dry, you will need to ladle more water to make the air moist enough. If the
sauna is too moist for comfort, open the door and let it dry out a bit
(obviously, only do this in a private sauna).

Essential oils and even beer can all be added to the water to create scented
steam. I recommend starting your sauna with just water, and add the scent as you
get going.

You can try all sorts of different essential oils. I’ve tried everything from
oak and cedar to tangerine and cinnamon (gag) essential oil. In the end, there
are really only two oils that are worth it, in my opinion. The first is
eucalyptus. I’ve experimented with different types of eucalyptus oil, and the
variety you use makes a difference. My favorite is eucalyptus globulus. I also
like diluted pine tar oil.

When you settle on your essential oil, add a healthy dose of the oil to the
ladle filled with water. Never put the oil onto the oven directly. It’ll just
burn.

In a few Russian facilities, I’ve seen Gray Beards pour Russian beer onto the
oven and it was actually quite nice. It’s almost like being in a cozy bakery
while you sweat

Some people like to place a salt brick or compressed solid blocks in their sauna
from time to time. Put the salt block on the stove and pour water over it. The
steam takes on a saltiness that feels nice. If a salt block is not available,
you can get a cast iron teapot, fill it up with salt water, and place it on top
of the stove.

And for my most important steam tip, I recommend using the “towel spin”. This is
an effective and underrated technique to help circulate steam in the sauna.
After creating steam, take your towel above your head and spin it around hard,
like a ceiling fan. This movement works like a convection oven and spreads and
equalizes the heat and steam throughout the room. It might make the folks
sitting lower down in the sauna a little hotter, but that's what they’re there
for, isn’t it?

Hydration

Being hydrated is important to having a positive sauna experience. You will lose
a lot of your body’s water in the sauna. Ideally, start to hydrate well up to an
hour before your sauna. I like to add a pinch of salt to my water to encourage
water retention.

Do not bring any drinks into the sauna (the exception being a dedicated
steam-beer, see above). Have your water or beverage when you’re outside the
sauna, resting.  If you find you need to drink water inside the sauna in order
to cool yourself down, then it’s time for you to get out and allow your body a
cool-down.

When you’re outside the sauna, don’t immediately down a glass of super cold
water because you will cool down your internal body too fast. Personally, I like
to drink warm tea after my first two cycles. After my second cycle, I enjoy a
beer (pre-keto days), soup, or vodka drink. When non-keto, I do enjoy adult drinks in the cycles.

If you are doing a sauna while on a multi-day fast, you need to have water and
salt, at a minimum. Otherwise, you will deplete your natural reserve of
electrolytes and not be able to think straight.

Sauna Frequency

When it comes to frequency, if you are not in the equatorial heat do it every day. I now do mornings and end of day if I can. so 2x 2-3x cycles.
In the summer, living in a hot & humid location, I sauna a lot less frequently. My desire to sauna is greatly diminished because I spend a lot of
time in the sun and heat.

What to wear

Sauna Hat: I highly recommend wearing a Russian/Finish style
wool hat when you’re inside the sauna. It may seem counterintuitive, but wearing
a hat keeps your head cooler. An overheated head is not good for your brain.
Wearing the hat stops you from overheating and lets you stay longer in the
sauna. The temperature in a sauna is significantly hotter the higher in the room
you are, and one’s head is at the top of the body (for most people). So protect
your brain in style with a felt sauna hat. If you don’t have a felt sauna hat,
buy one. They are easily found online. But in the meantime, you can wrap a dry
towel around your head. Don’t forget to take your sauna hat off as you relax
between cycles so your head can cool down.

Clothing: These days, many public saunas will have family days,
men-only days, and women-only days.  For obvious reasons, you’re only allowed to
sauna naked if you’re attending one of the single-sex days.

If you’re at home, there’s no good reason to wear shorts or a bathing suit.
Sauna naked. It's a lot more pleasant.

If you do wear clothing in the sauna, be careful with items with materials like
metal or plastic attached. Things like pins, buttons, or string-ends will get
very hot and probably burn you. Remember to take off any heat-conductive jewelry
and leave your smart watch outside, as the heat will ruin its battery.

Don’t wear your robe inside the sauna. A robe is what you wear outside when
relaxing or eating. If you wear it inside, you’ll overheat (and look like an
idiot). Go ahead and sweat out that body shame robe-free. You can bring a towel
into the sauna to sit on, if you want.

Shoes or sandals are highly recommended in public facilities. I mean, there are
many people walking around wet. Ew. But keep your sandals outside the sauna
itself, or on the sauna floor.

Sauna activities.

Don’t overthink it. Sitting in a sauna is activity enough, in my opinion. But
there are some sauna activities you can do:

Veniks/Viht beating: these are bundles of leaves (commonly
birch, oak, or eucalyptus) that are pre-soaked in hot water. Someone with both
strength and capacity to exert themselves in the heat will beat your whole body
with the leaves. This exfoliates your skin and also gets the plant oils to
permeate your skin. And it’s very relaxing.  If you’re at a sauna facility,
don’t just grab any bundle you see lying around - that belongs to someone else
and veniks aren’t shared. You have to bring your own or buy them at the front
desk.

Stretching: this is a great activity to do in the sauna, but
make sure to go very easy. Your muscles will be super warm and you don’t want to
overdo it and hurt yourself.

Exercise or Sex: your heart better be in good shape if you try
out these high intensity activities in the sauna. If you engage in the latter,
you better be in your own home sauna. With respect to the former, I think doing
some leg-ups can be very satisfying.

Phone use: If you’re at home, it’s nice to use your sauna time
to shit-post on Twitter or read an article, if you feel like it. Just keep your
phone close to the colder, lower parts near the floor or it’ll overheat and shut
down. You can also place the phone outside of the air vent and play a podcast! The Bitcoin.review is great ;)

Napping: I don’t recommend this. If you fall asleep or pass
out, you will probably die due to overheating or dehydration.

Chatting: Saunas are great places for conversations (subject to
the caveats I address above). Note that nowadays, microphone modules are both
very tiny and can withstand high temperatures, so it’s no longer recommended to
reenact mafia movie sauna scenes.

Eating and Drinking: As discussed above, never have food or
drink inside the sauna. But when you finish your sauna, take advantage of
whatever snacks the facility offers. For Russian joints, the soups, fish roe and dry salty
fish snacks are great. Again, don’t eat before your sauna; wait until you’re
done. Some places will have bottled salty-ish lake water, and beer seems to be a
good source of salts and re-hydration. Vodka drinks are nice sometimes, too. My
favorites are vodka with beet juice and horseradish, vodka with pickle juice, or
just a chilled shot of Zubrowka (vodka infused with bison grass). Teas are also
very enjoyable post-sauna. I prefer non-caffeinated berry teas. Some Banyas even
offer free tea to patrons.

Ready to Sweat It Out?

Thanks to this fantastic guide to sauna, you’re now feeling confident and
excited to seek out a solid sauna. So where do you go?

Where to Find a Sauna

Spas: Spas are not the best place to have an optimal sauna
experience. Saunas at spas are typically not hot enough and spas have annoying
staff whose job it is to enforce idiotic rules and practices that prevent you
from having a real sauna experience.

Gyms & Hotels: These are some of the worst places to sauna. For
liability reasons, these saunas tend to be too cold and there are often
mechanisms that prevent you from raising the temperature. Here, you’ll often see
saunas with glass doors, which may look chic, but are inefficient and stupid
because they don’t seal properly and leak steam. Gyms and hotels are high
traffic areas, so people who don’t know what they are doing are constantly
coming and going from the sauna, which, as we discussed, is a sauna no-no. If
you still want to try the sauna at your gym or hotel, I recommend going in
naked. It’ll deter people from joining you and ruining the little steam you
managed to get going.

Traditional bath houses (Banyas): These usually offer a great
experience because they deliver a super hot sauna, good cold baths and plunges,
delicious food and drinks, and knowledgeable staff.

Home: Yes, you can build a great sauna in your own home! You
can create a small space in your basement, turn a closet or cold room into a
sauna, or just add an outdoor hut or barrel sauna in your backyard. This is the
best way for you to control the whole experience and do it often. As with
anything, the easier it is to access, the more you will do it.

Build it. They will Come

Many people have asked me for details about sauna building. If you’re ready to build your own personal home sauna, here are some important
considerations.

Materials

Saunas are insulated rooms, most commonly finished with cedar tung and groove
slats. Cedar is used because it doesn’t rot with moisture. You don’t want
treated wood as it will release all the bad stuff that keeps the wood from
rotting into the air when heated. Cedar interior is often placed over a vapor
barrier, followed by insulation and then the outer wall. Many outdoor saunas are
not insulated. They simply have a single layer of cedar 2x6 planks functioning
as both the interior and exterior. Non-insulated saunas need much more heating
power in the winter.

Structure

For indoor saunas, you may want to find a bricklayer to build something for you.
Traditional facilities often have brick-lined rooms and very large wood-burning
stoves.

You can buy prefab outdoor saunas, which are often sheds or barrels. After
experimenting with both, I’ve concluded that barrel saunas are inferior, even
though that’s what I have at my country property. This is because barrels have
concave ceilings and inner walls. This means the benches are lower and the curve
makes the topmost part of the ceiling (and the hottest part) the furthest from
you, or inaccessible.  The spinning towel trick really helps in the barrel.

When it comes to buying a sauna, go with the most traditional structure
possible. They are based on thousands of years of evolution and knowledge.

Portable tent saunas are fun, but impractical because you have to set them up
before each use.

Bench height inside the sauna is important. I think the top-most bench should be
very near the ceiling. This way, when you’re lying down, you can use the ceiling
to stretch the hamstrings. As a rule of thumb, bench length should allow you to
lie down completely. It is also nice to have at least one lower bench for
visitors or less intense sauna days.

Sauna Ovens

There are two main types of sauna ovens: wood burning and electrical (with gas
heating being available, but not common). If the location you are building
allows for it, go with electrical. It’s practical and easy to get going quickly.
This means you will use it more often. Wood burning saunas are romantic and
smell great, but it is a lot more work to get a fire going, especially in the
winter.

Opt for oven sizes that are recommended or above recommended for the size of the
sauna. A larger oven means more thermic inertia, more rocks for steam, and
therefore less time to warm up the room. Bigger is better. The Scandinavians
make the best quality ovens.

Oven controllers

There are two types of temperature control devices: the analog cooking-style or
the digital type. I think, due to liability and safety, all ovens have a timer
that max out at one hour.

The digital oven controllers are fantastic and I have one in the city in my
basement sauna.

However, you have to consider your environment. For me, temperatures in the
winter can reach below -30C and in the summer, over 40C. This massive range can
take a toll on outdoor equipment and materials. For this reason, I opted for an
analog controller for my outdoor sauna in the country, since the weather will
likely ruin the electronics of the digital controller.

I would avoid ovens with analog pre-heat timers. They are great in theory, but
the implementation is utter garbage. The timer won’t be precise and it’ll just
lead to frustration, for example, when you thought you set the oven to start in
three hours, but it actually started in two hours and already turned off.

Important Sauna Gear

Windows are nice to have, especially if you have a view to enjoy. Opt for at
least a cedar door with a little window. Do not go with modern glass door
styles. They are crap. They have gaps, no insulation, and let in too much light.

Saunas need thermometers and hygrometers (to measure humidity). The thermometers
should be rated for saunas and be visible inside. This is both for safety and
bragging rights.

I think having an hourglass inside your sauna is a must. Being able to know for
sure how long you’ve been inside is important, since your sense of timing inside
the sauna may be off depending on the state of your mind and body on a given
day. You shouldn’t wear a watch inside the sauna, since it’ll overheat or break.
Having a clock visible from the inside is also a good idea, especially if you
sauna often and have a wife and kids who you don’t want to leave you.

Air circulation is an often-overlooked but important part of a sauna design.
Saunas should not have stale air. The best sauna design creates natural “real
convection” by placing an air intake under the oven wall and another at the top
opposite wall. This allows fresh air to enter the sauna while in use. Be sure to
add regulators, since you don’t want to cool the sauna or expel all steam.
Without regulators you may get too much or too little air in. With too much air,
you may cool the sauna down too much and/or lose too much steam.

Nice Things to Have

Lights are optional but welcome additions. It can be unpleasant to have no
lighting at all, especially in an outdoor sauna on a cold, dark night. Lights
should be warm-temperature and low power. I recommend an oven light, since they
don’t sweat the heat (get it?) and are often low power.

Put a baking tray under your oven–thank me later.

Wood “pillows” for your head are nice and don’t get sweat-stained and stinky,
like a fabric pillow.

Keep some extra felt hats near your sauna so when you or your guests forget
their hat, you still have easy access to one.

I like to keep a couple of essential oils on the floor of the sauna, for easy
access. If you keep the oils too high in the sauna, they’ll get too hot and
spoil.

I place some duck boards over floor tiles in the sauna to prevent cold feet.

I also like to keep a small, natural broom inside the sauna to sweep up any dirt
or leaves that come into the sauna on people’s feet.

Final words

As you can tell, I have some strong opinions when it comes to the proper way to enjoy a sauna. My hope is that my musings will help you to maximize your own sauna experience.. If you follow this guide, I’m certain you will benefit from and enjoy the sauna as much as I do and, just maybe, you too will develop your own strongly held opinions that will most definitely offend me.

Thanks for reading, please close the F-ing door.

miss having time to shitpost daily on nostr


I have the following task, and I don't really know where to start nor which formula to even use. Thank you so much already ahead of time for any insight 🤗

You have a coupon bond from a European country with a face value of 1 million euros. This bond pays coupon interest of 4% once a year. There are 8 years left until the bond is extinguished, and the next coupon payment should take place tomorrow. Investors expect a return of 6% per year from this bond. It was like that this morning. During the day, however, it became clear that the country has run into financial difficulties and is therefore unable to pay out the coupon interest scheduled for the next day and for the next three years. However, as a result of the joint, quick efforts of the creditors, an agreement is immediately reached that the bonds will be restructured. According to the agreement, the debtor promises to transfer tomorrow's and three years' worth of coupon payments to the investors when the bond is canceled (i.e. after 8 years). However, the rest of the payments will be made according to the initial agreement.

a. Find how much you, as an investor, suffered a loss during the day if, considering the increased risk level, investors' expected income from bonds has momentarily increased to 12% per year.

- [September 4th 2024](https://habla.news/u/jeffg.fyi/1725433902513)

## Progress this week

I was told recently that my update walls of text are too much. So, I'll try to keep things concise this week. 😅

This week has been all about building the reference implementation, which is quickly becoming a full-fledged client instead of just a reference implementation. I've not quite gotten to the MLS portion of the client yet but it does already support multiple accounts (including ephemeral accounts) and loads legacy (NIP-04) chats and full contact lists. So far, I've not implemented NIP-104 so there's not yet any updates to the MLS spec or other dependencies.

If you've got experience with using messengers in hostile environments (authoritarian regimes, you've been de-platformed, etc.) please get in touch. I'd love to hear more about what you'd like to see in a communication tool.

In the meantime, I'll be over here in the corner coding with my headphones on. 👨💻

Onward and Upwards!

help a complete rookie out

when browsing for used cars, what are some things you definitely pay attention to?

speak to me like a 5 year old, have no idea about the mechanical side of cars (yet)


nature?

that's a new map or something?


that's a good one

This would be great for having a little shop of homestead products I have available. I couldn't make a note with all the product information then people could swipe through and interact with each product individually. Definitely gonna try to format a note like this even if the carousel rendering isn't available.

so when are you planning on taking VC funding?

after like 50 PR's?


if they can somehow magically sustain shipping, you may have just given me an idea for something


twitter has just one use case

to promote nostr


"It's nice, but it's not quite Primal"


*whilst i'm banging my head to music, going through the same thousand different typefaces for the 50th time*


and then when they finally adapt your PR, and ask for feedback

you either ghost or just say "damn, it could have potential" just to edge them


too much replying, not enough PR work

click-clack 🤗


this is the way


i'd love to try more of foreign chocolate

quite liked lindt and ovomaltine back when i got to visit


ah, so that's where i'm lacking

i need an arab friend


hey, that's not too shabby, you know

tasting things all over the world

the ratings will be in magnitude, which one makes me quake the most


#tanelhasnt ever enjoyed a date before

they aren't and they don't need to be

that's what they have algo for

reddit is an example of something with both good content discovery + algo, with their trending/hot/top/recent tabs on both homepage and per subreddit


lack of algorithm wouldn't be a problem if indexation, categorisation and discovery of content was better


strong counter argument


folks want to convert followers into leads into profit

it's also why a lot of the folks aren't willing to leave X behind, due to the conversions they get on there

speaking from experience *khm*

don't 👉👈


priority could be:

- who i follow
- WoT
- high follower count
- alphabetical


might quake


💜 with love and kindness, just wrote the post frustrated after it took me 20 minutes just to tag 5 different people in a row, some having display names, some usernames and some folks without any accounts, just text


icle icle


I guess it's the same old, same old display name vs username discussion


yeah, with a single name and bigger follower count it's easy. doing a list of folks with less follower counts and commas and everything, it gets more complicated


people with low follower counts and/or space in their username(@FirstName _ LastName), and then having them all show up properly in a list

plus if i'm about to tag somebody, have it prioritised on who i follow instead of being alphabetical

(image: for example, if i wanted to tag you, some folk who i've never seen nor follow pop up as top recommendations) https://image.nostr.build/1f6433a05cb633e600e11d9c2a735355d06b65a022ba1670948e2dfdf4c59d10.jpg


can we finally figure out a proper way of tagging users on nostr?

spending 20 minutes on it, swapping between 5 clients, only to have the spacing wrong or usernames not show or npubs not process

safe travels 💜


i started this, it's on me 😄


hmm, i see what you're getting at

i'm at ease with this answer

🤝 solid brainfart battle


Trying to understand you better here, could you elaborate further?


love the nostr folks breaking my balls about the specifics of what i actually mean behind my posts. it has forced me into learning how to express myself better.

keep at it.


i make food and wash dishes


so pretty much all of the existing marketing folks are bad?


this is getting so abstract, i'm getting dizzy 😆

hmm, what i'm saying is that i can like and support him building his business vocally, without wearing the shirt

not consuming content (wearing the shirt) ≠ not caring about the folks creating content on nostr (them building their shirt business)

i can dislike the designs and not wear them, yet still be in support of his business

i hope i got my point across 🤗

zapathon?

no.

another late night #yapathon

yes.


it's okay, you're direct and honest about what you think and stand for, which i like a lot 🤗

this is getting abstract and further from your initial post, but for example:

let's say you start making and selling t-shirts, that i'm not a big fan of, but i do care about you. is me not buying your shirts showing that i do not care about you?


i'm not talking about myself here 🫠

should've explained myself better

ugh


i'm not trying to be right here

i'm just curious about how you think, bc you have an interesting mind and way of explaining things

hope i didn't come across the wrong way, just a friendly discussion


i'm just trying to argue the point, that just because you like the tech, doesn't mean you find any content here that gathers your attention, making you want to spend time here scrolling around


so, when you use the dollar to pay for things, you truly care about the FED?

it's not so simple


happy birthday ava 💜


what you are saying that if i don't spend time and my attention on nostr consuming content, then i don't advocate for it nor care about it


when push comes to shove, there'll only be a handful of folks here ready to die for their freedom

for most lads here (including myself), it wouldn't take a lot of button pushing from the govs to give in

such as being forced into an ultimatum between freedom and family, health or general well-being


yesn't

will the hydra prevail

or will it succumb


nostr might be, some clients on the other hand...


graph reminds me of the PA and flush of Vitalik's death hoax


i'm assuming a big amount of the folk here are consumers/lurkers more than creators. so whilst the lurker might advocate for the protocol, they might not see content that would gather their attention as much

TL;DR advocating for tech ≠ advocating for the content

(this is me assuming and playing devil's advocate)

Most online relationships are superficial.

People confuse followers for friends. We don’t have as many friends as we think.

Very easy to test by leaving your favorite social network.

Followers don’t mean anything. The only thing that matters are the people you get to know irl.


gm 💜 https://image.nostr.build/031994fb081188dec047d28465a9f1a458dd50dd15221d98a8ac8e48bb84cdca.jpg


one and a half year here


are those highlights on the general feed?


So for FOSS design / development, I would not look for design help to validate the initial product.

Use existing frameworks to cobble something together. Get early users and listen to their feedback carefully.

If there’s potential, get a designer who will improve the overall UX. Don’t worry about styling yet.

If product already validated and has users then design is the product. You want a product designer who positions the product, helps refine UX. Design cannot be an afterthought. It’s not lipstick on a pig.

Designers have to consider the foss project they would like to contribute to. It’s hard, because you have no idea what the team is like unless you contribute here and there and observe to see if your contributions are implemented. Sometimes they won’t be for the right reasons. What designers want most is to see their work come to fruition in as close to perfect as possible. This goes on their portfolio and it sucks if design is good but implementation is potatoes.

But we also have to stay humble and realize when we make mistakes. Developers often have good UX insights because they are constrained by code and frankly laziness. Laziness is a friend of UX sometimes. Not always. The designer who doesn’t see acknowledge their own blind spots is not advancing themselves or their goals.

My 2 sats at this late hour.

Good night! 😴


My wife and I were in a fancy restaurant awhile back.

The fancy restaurant was playing fall out boy.

Wife goes, “that’s weird? Why would a restaurant like this be playing that song?”

I reply, “they’re catering to middle aged people like you. This song is twenty years old”

she goes, “oh my god” as if it finally hit her that she’s old now lol 😂

Reminder: You’re not a young millennial anymore, you’re middle aged now. Your life is halfway over.

You’re dying. Never forget that.

Use it as motivation to make the most of your time left.

what taking notes with the Notes app feels like https://image.nostr.build/0f1a7a2044bce348a699494f8402eafca3cab938fbb66028acfe6d8c62731d9e.jpg


Throwing in the towel and finally listening to nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va and joining Nostr.


Welcome to Nostr buddy, let me know if there's anything you need help with 💜

doesn't the lack of good categorical content discovery mean, that the highest followed folks are pushed into everyone's feed through reposting and quote posting?


the true reward is in the new task that your brain lines up just so you can feel anxious and stressed out again
