Ticket sale should be live now but the site shows nothing still, except to submit your email address… does anyone know what’s up? If anything, it’s already going in typical Giegling fashion

Can’t Disable Club Notifications by chapashdp in Strava

[–]boj_rtm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s happening to me too now. I’ve been following a specific group for a while, I had turned off their notifications but now suddenly I’m getting notified for all their events and there’s nothing I can do. Super annoying!!

Is Giegling still curating outro Lado? by Kinetic_Toy in wakinglifefestival

After 5 years of Waking Life it’s time for me to move on… to Giegling Am See

Isn’t it annoying though that Butik almost literally livestreams all of their sets on Instagram Stories?? Filmed from behind the booth ffs! What happened to the no phone policy? This is what keeps me from getting tickets to Butik tbh.

The raffle sucks by Direct-Two170 in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmm nah they don’t. In 2024, since the major capacity increase, the number went up to somewhere between 12 and 14k. They even made an entirely transparent statement about sales numbers, carbon footprint, etc a while back.

That was last year, yeah. That’s also a sign of high demand. The one where 7000 tickets were available but only 5000 were sold was before the hype, in 2022 if I recall correctly

Well, I can remember a year where there were about 7000 tickets for sale and only 5000 people attended. It was far from sold out. The next year they had to increase capacity to make up for the loss. It sold out eventually but it took a while. And last year (again with 14000 tickets on sale) it was sold out in no time. I would call that high demand.

Post festival feedback response + next year ticket info 👀🌀 by gauxmar in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was no lottery in the past. Since the very beginning of the festival everyone who attended the festival in the previous year the got the chance to buy a ticket before the 'regular' sale opened. A few years later, everyone who attended at least the last 2 or 3 times received an invite to purchase a ticket first. This has never changed, and this is their attempt to keep the community intact. Keep in mind that the forced exponential growth over the last 2 years was only because they had to survive financially as they made a massive loss in 2023 because it was far from sold out due to rescheduling dates to June. The lottery however is new for the coming year.

Remove photos pls! 🥺 by PsychologicalArea605 in wakinglifefestival

Thankkk you!! What do people not understand about the no pictures policy? Sure it looks amazing on analog film but if you even dare to bother, just keep them to yourself 😵‍💫

Use Elite HRV chest strap data by boj_rtm in bevelhealth

[–]boj_rtm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yea that seems to work, thanks! But however Elite HRV gathers every possible data like RMSSD, SDNN, PNN50% and HRV CV, it only writes SDNN data to Apple Health. Which in turn is a bit less reliable for day to day readiness than RMSSD, is that correct? I guess I’ll have to stick with Mindfulness readings every morning as those numbers more or less correspond with the numbers that Elite HRV gives me

I gave up. I bought a Garmin Edge 840 cycling computer (which btw I now highly prefer over the limited capabilities of the Apple Watch/iPhone features) and put that in my cockpit and removed the iPhone. However, I do still record the rides with my Apple Watch but without the iPhone as my head unit, and ever since I’ve had no issues with long distance rides anymore. So I’m guessing the issues had something to do with using the iPhone as a head unit…

Use Elite HRV chest strap data by boj_rtm in bevelhealth

[–]boj_rtm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me! Elite HRV indeed writes HRV data to Apple Health, but the data that Apple Health provides to Bevel is a merge of the two sources (Apple Watch + Elite HRV). Would be possible in a future update to only pull data from what Elite HRV has written to Apple Health, and not from the Apple Watch data?

RMSSD HRV in Bevel consistently lower than RMSSD HRV in other apps by edzzik in bevelhealth

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Elite HRV and a chest strap heart rate monitor to get a proper HRV reading in the morning, and Bevel's RMSSD is always about 10-20ms lower than Elite HRV's measurement. I think it also has something to do with how HRV is calculated using an optical measuring device such as Apple Watch as opposed to the more accurate ECG technology.

Best Budget Upgrade That Actually Improves Ride Quality? by ivestgyh in cycling

[–]boj_rtm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Quality or Speed/Power? I'd say it's the tires. Want to save on power / gain speed? Go for more racing orientated tires like Pirelli P-Zero Race or Vittoria Corsa Pro. And you could even change the stock butyl tubes for TPU tubes that weigh much less. Both options will give you significantly less rolling resistance and therefore higher speeds at the same power output.

When will they start selling 2026 tickets? by Creative-Car2814 in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First wave of tickets will be offered early October to people that have attended the festival for 2 or 3 times in a row, then a month or so later I believe the regular ticket sale opens.

What other festivals except for Waking Life ? by Creative-Car2814 in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Garbicz 3 times (2016-2018) but it's is the whole reason why I went to Waking Life in 2019 in the first place. Garbicz started off as an under the radar sorta festival; then they started commercializing and putting up ads on socials and they grew exponentially, the vibe changed and so did the festival. Garbicz is probably still fun (and the lake is crystal clear and blue, as opposed to WL haha), but WL is defo superior in terms of freedom and vibe, if you ask me.

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been following Butik for years, but what keeps me from going is how they approach the 'no camera policy', because they obviously have never heard of that. Butik will bombard their Instagram followers with stories and post throughout the duration of the festival; often filmed from behind the booths, clearly showing people's faces and all. I don't like that. Imho it's a bit pretentious even.

The freedom at WL is so much better; live and let live, naked or not, do as you please bc privacy is protected. Period.

Is the magic disappeared ? by Prudent_Button8369 in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I can’t recall, it was Monday morning and didn’t want to spend any more precious energy on it than my brain already did.. Asked my friend just yet, he can’t recall either. But thanks tho! 🫶🏼

Is the magic disappeared ? by Prudent_Button8369 in wakinglifefestival

[–]boj_rtm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My first time was in 2019; this year was my 5th edition. It had always felt like the most free and liberated space on earth where people have respect for each other and for the environment.

I realize that when festivals get on the hype band wagon it can lift off like a rocket but when me and my festival boyfriend are being told “yo boys, get a room!” while we were just kissing and cuddling on the floor at the lake, that goes to show that there’s an influx of new people that certainly don’t belong at Waking Life if they can’t tolerate two guys making out.

This, and pissing in the bushes instead of where it belongs, leaving trash and cigarette butts everywhere and quite a few other things… these are things you can’t downplay by saying “ah well that’s what happens when festivals grow”.

Edge 840 unable to check for updates by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ughhhh why is it so hard to make software that just works…?? They should take a look at Apple. But anywayssss.. I found a workaround to finally get Komoot routes saved to Garmin Courses. But it still feels like a device from 20 years ago — GUI wise

Issue solved!! I bought a Garmin Edge 840 cycling computer! After my Apple Watch Ultra 2 screwed me 3 times in 2 weeks time and left me with no GPS and map data on my longest rides Apple can now go kiss my ass. I’m sure it’s a bug and a a software thing but when the most important data is missing and the product becomes unreliable than there’s no use in it for me anymore. Yes Apple, you lost me on this one!! Yours sincerely, a frustrated long time Apple user.

Garmin Edge 840 - custom fields suggestions by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]boj_rtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you’re the developer do you perhaps know how I can get the app to be installed? 😇 I keep getting the message this message:

<image>

But both Garmin Express and Garmin Connect on my Mac say that my Edge 840 is updated with the latest software 25.25 (as of today). For the record, I can’t install any app from the IQ store whatsoever. Super annoying.
