Thanks a ton, all of what you wrote is super helpful!

I think I’m doing pretty similar things, but you’ve definitely given me some food for thought.

I estimated my TDEE (energy expenditure) around 2800cal, and I’ve been aiming for 2000cal. Like you it’s a little aggressive, but also gives me wiggle room in case I’m not estimating calories correctly.

I actually really like counting calories along with intermittent fasting (I only eat between noon and 8pm every day. I also don’t really like “fad” diets or even worrying too much about macronutrients, though I’m making an effort to get more protein, and stuff like cucumbers helps a ton with satiation like you’re saying. Your way of meal planning simplifies things a lot, but I don’t know if I could really do that because I like a wide variety of food.

I’ve been doing strength training (3-4x per week), but you’re giving me motivation to add some cardio. I hate cardio but deep down I know I need to train because the outdoor activities I like the most (hiking, skiing) require it.

I’ve been following my plan for a little over a week so far. Not a lot of time, but seems like I’m down about 0.25kg. Scales are pretty inaccurate though, and my weight does fluctuate over 1kg in a single day.

My motivation is perhaps a bit different… I’ve done strength training before and am trying to get back into it, but at this point in my life I’m at about 24% body fat (according to U.S. Navy calculation) which is right on the verge of obesity, so I’m thinking to drop down 10% before seriously trying to put on more muscle. I’ve read it’s slightly easier to put on muscle at low BF%, but more importantly I think I will just look better, since I don’t think I look great at 24% BF.

Whenever I get blood tests done though, I’m usually just barely in the “healthy” range when it comes to cholesterol and stuff, so that’s definitely a secondary motivation. Plus lots of people in my family have diabetes, so it’s better for me to take steps now to prevent it.

Thanks again for your reply, it gives me validation that I’m on the right track, and definitely gives me some food for thought.

Do you mind sharing some of those points? I am working on a goal of dropping about 10% right now.

That’s because Jordan Peterson is one of the entry points to the alt-right rabbit hole. Despite being from Canada, his brand of grift is intricately tied to U.S. politics. If you have a very short amount of time, some people have put together some very short videos talking about Peterson:

I watched the B-Boys and B-Girls finals last night out of curiosity, and it was actually pretty cool and fun to watch. Still not sure how it’s scored though, seems like they get a lot of points from judges for originality and not repeating moves.

I mean Lemmy is also a bit of a cesspool at times, but it’s home now at least.

Extension library for Tachiyomi forks. No idea if it works with Aniyomi.

At least they didn’t hit keiyoushi.

I wonder if it has to do with reusing the transmission lines from the coal plant.

Yours is the best take.

My guilty pleasure is the Air Crash Investigation series, or more recently Mentour Pilot on YouTube. It scratches both itches in my brain – the logic / engineer side, and the morbid curiosity & fascination with disaster.

The Roy thing is maybe pushing a little into weird. But if this sort of thing wasn’t normal then there wouldn’t be whole shows, subreddits, etc dedicated to disasters.

Despite how small Lemmy is, I think it’s worth spending time here. After the huge spike in users last June, there was a bit of a decline, but now it’s slowly but surely growing again.

While I acknowledge the concept of a “carbon footprint” is complete BS, beef production does have a very high impact on climate change. Just want to point out that fact. I still eat it from time to time though. Yes, beef is high in protein and tasty.

As an aside, I believe as environmentalists, we shouldn’t shame people for doing the “wrong” things IMHO as even the best of us still contribute to the problem in some way. Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do, and shame doesn’t often change minds. Personally, I try to take my own small steps, but I’m not prepared to live like a hermit. I do try to eat meat less often, and I volunteer a considerable amount of time to lobby for more climate friendly policies. This course of action is what works well for me.

:q!

I think it’s pretty funny too. I get where people are coming from on this thread. But it’s still funny.

VPN drains my phone battery like crazy, plus eventually I’d like to be able to share my services with some less technical people, and want to keep the barrier to entry low for them, so I’ve been looking at what I’d want in order to be comfortable exposing services publicly.

Services are running on Truenas Scale (k3s).

What I’ve been thinking is:

1. Isolate services’ network access to each other and to my local network.
2. Reverse proxy in front of all services (probably Caddy)
3. Coraza as a WAF
4. Crowdsec Caddy module
5. Some sort of auth layer in the proxy, like oauth2-proxy (kind of tricky because not every service would work well with this, especially without client support). Probably would start with a 3rd party identity provider rather than rolling my own, especially since 3rd party will probably do a lot more monitoring around logins, patterns, etc.

Thinking of hosting the reverse proxy piece on a VPS. Probably not completely necessary because I don’t think hiding my home IP really buys me much security, but Caddy might be easier to configure on the VPS compared to Truenas (though I guess I could run it in a VM on Truenas).

Each app could run a wireguard sidecar to connect it to the VPS.

Curious what others think about this setup, or if the recommendation is still to keep things behind a VPN.

Time to compile it myself.

Wow, I was wondering why those were 404ing, saw the repo was deleted and a new one was just created, and saw this post from 15mins ago:

TLDR: they purging all extensions.

I have been happy to get outside my bubble a little bit. But at the same time, many of the Marxists here seem to be in their own bubble.

This is the one I use.

I still don’t know why Reddit permabanned me. They never gave me a reason, and when I submitted an appeal asking why I got banned I got what looked like an auto-reply saying “upon careful consideration…etc etc” Did I act like a shit-loaf? Idk, maybe? But if so I’d think they’d be able to tell me specifically why I deserved it.

They use browser fingerprinting. Not only do you need a new IP address, but you need to make your browser characteristics look sufficiently different from anything you’ve used before (including all metadata that your browser sends to Reddit.com like OS, time zone, CPU, GPU, etc). Otherwise they will re-associate you and ban your new account. It’s annoying as fuck.

I still have no idea what they banned me for. Spez is on record saying it’s fine to create a new account as long as you don’t repeat the behavior that got you banned, but their actions say no, you’re banned for life and there’s nothing you can do.

The effort required to get back on Reddit is just way to high for day to day usage, so I just stay on here mostly. I still read Reddit for niche stuff from time to time, but yeah it does suck to just read and never be allowed to comment.
