eixiepia··on GitHub-Next
If the team needs some data on bloated, slow software and bad practices, they can create an account on gitlab.com and look around for a few minutes.
eixiepia··on Why Xen Wasn't Hit by RETBleed on Intel CPUs
Yes it's still popular in some places, and lots of new development is going on. Xen is superior to KVM in my opinion.
eixiepia··on Microsoft Windows is prohibited at Gitlab
>> [..] Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware.

Neither spyware, virus or ransomware has slowed my computer to a halt as much as using GitLab.

eixiepia··on Max Headroom is getting rebooted
Let's hope this won't be one of those insufferable woke reboots, like most other reboots the industry has shit out in recent years.
eixiepia··on “No convincing evidence” that depression is caused by low serotonin levels
What are the views on SSRIs prescribed for OCD and anxiety? The dosage for these conditions is much larger than for depression, often ten times or more.
eixiepia··on Europe’s State of Mass Surveillance
> [...] this generation of old and frightful people finally resigns [...]

If you thought that replacing these people with the generation than invented "trigger warnings", and demands removal/cancelling of anything remotely uncomfortable would be the end of mass surveillance, then you're going to be disappointed. I think we will get much more instead.

eixiepia··on Only 6.8% of adults have optimal cardiometabolic health
Well that indeed sounds amazing. Great that you are already feeling better.

Because of my past, I'm often contacted by recovering ex-vegans in my area. I immediately get them started on the carnivore diet and within a week or two, most will come back, often with tears in their eyes, to tell me that they finally begin to feel normal again, really a joy to experience.

eixiepia··on Only 6.8% of adults have optimal cardiometabolic health
Happy to be in the 6.8% group. Started on the carnivore diet about 7 years ago. I had been a vegan for years before that, but my health deteriorated badly because of this. I also exercise and fast regularly. I have never been in better health, and this is confirmed with blood work every 6 months.
eixiepia··on German economy minister warns of industry shutdown amid gas shortage
EU sanctions against Russia seems to punish the EU citizens much more than they ever did Russia.
eixiepia··on Most of the world’s grain is not eaten by humans
Did that for years, ruined both my health and teeth. No thanks.
eixiepia··on ‘Anti-hunger’ molecule forms after exercise, scientists discover
If it makes you feel better you're welcome to believe that, but I'm sorry to inform you that this is not the case. However, my good health after many years on the carnivore diet is enough for me, I don't have the need to convince anyone.
eixiepia··on ‘Anti-hunger’ molecule forms after exercise, scientists discover
Counter point: For me, vegan diet is not only obnoxious, but also dangerous. Years as a vegan wrecked my health and permanently my teeth. Carnivore was the way out of this downward spiral for me.
eixiepia··on ‘Anti-hunger’ molecule forms after exercise, scientists discover
Can confirm that carnivore work wonders. I have been on the diet for 7 years and have never been in better health. But I will say that people should be careful with "extreme" diets as I was vegan for years and this completely wrecked me, including my teeth. I did the radical shift to canivore out of desperation, but that saved my life.
eixiepia··on Hertzbleed Attack
Can this attack be used to extract Widevine decryption key?
eixiepia··on California Drought Update May 2022 [pdf]
> Disclaimer: I tried being a vegetarian for 2 years, I didn't feel good mentally and physically so I went back to consuming meat.

No wonder. 2.5 million years of meat eating has evolved the human to what it is today.

eixiepia··on Poll: Self Hosting Git Repositories
Anything else than GitLab, it's so slow and bloated. With every "update" it seems to get even slower and depend even more on javascript. I really hate how so many open source projects shifted to this abnormation because Microsoft acquired GitHub, I mean, regardless of what evil shit Microsoft could think up, it can't be worse than having to deal with this javascript turd. If your web interface can't even just display simple information like issues page or merge requests, without depending on a huge pile of steaming javascript, you have FAILED in web design. I cry every time I'm forced to use GitLab. Just my two cents.
eixiepia··on Fasting boosts stem cells’ regenerative capacity (2018)
Does anyone else also start to experience heart palpitations after 3 or 4 days of fasting? The heart beats are regular but fast and hard. This interferes with sleep and makes it impossible to go beyond those few days, as it just gets worse. I do drink water during the fasts.
eixiepia··on GSuite legacy users can now get a free personal account, includes Gmail
Your account can be banned, but unlike Google you can get in contact with a human being and get an explanation or sorted the issue out if it's a mistake. With Google you never known when an algorithm will ban your account, and if/when that happens, there's absolutely NO way to get it back, your account is gone for good.
eixiepia··on Does cooking with vegetable oils increase the risk of chronic diseases?
If it wasn't enough that animal fats taste much better, it's also the healthier option.
eixiepia··on What Dinner Will Look Like in the Next 100 Years, According to Scientists
> [...] (as opposed to the meat alternatives we have today, which are very good imitations made with plant products).

Very good imitations? HA HA! I must laugh! That can only be a statement from someone who have never eaten real meat.

eixiepia··on Ask HN: I am losing hope in humanity. What should I do?
Begin to practice Stoicism. You will always be miserable if your happiness depends on external factors. Humans in general will never change their ways, just learn to accept this fact.
eixiepia··on GNU Nano 6.3
5. Sometimes you don't need an operating system, but a decent editor and that's where Nano come in :)
eixiepia··on The afterlife of used hotel soap
How can one be sure that this is proper sterilized? Mistakes can happen in the process, making this a potential source of disease. No thanks.
eixiepia··on Gitlab 14.10 Released
I really loathe Gitlab. Slow, bloated and the ridiculous overuse of javascript. You can't even just view the issues list or anything without scripting enabled, it's just a white page. Fail.
eixiepia··on My diet of almost only red meat
So it gives more sense to compare eating beef with having children. Not having children has no cost and something that any individual can do.
eixiepia··on My diet of almost only red meat
> I was a vegan for 2 years in the past. First year I also didn’t have any deficiencies. But then it all caught up and ruined my health after two years.

I was a vegan for more that 2 years, but also ruined my health including my teeth.

When hearing from other ex-vegans, it's mind-blowing how many things we have in common regarding our health. When active in the movement, no one would talk about the problems.

eixiepia··on My diet of almost only red meat
> Naw, my family and I, including two young children...

One of your arguments against red meat is that it's devastating to the environment. You know what is also devastating to the environment? having children. It's not a necessity to have children, I have none.

Why is your need for breeding more acceptable than my need for eating red meat?

eixiepia··on My diet of almost only red meat
Always had good teeth before. Flushing and brushing thoroughly multiple times a day. After some time on vegan diet, suddenly 4 cavities was found during a dental visit, later 7 cavities found and two teeth pulled because of excessive decay. I would then even more rigorously take care of my teeth, but the cavities and decay just continued.
eixiepia··on My diet of almost only red meat
Followed a vegan diet and felt great in the beginning as most people do. I made sure to do everything as recommended by vegan doctors. Slowly but surely various health problems started to show, including bad teeths. Tried to make it work, sought help in the vegan community, but it's not accepted that a vegan diet can cause health problems, so I was shunned. Being desperate and my health just getting worse, I did a radical shift to the carnivore diet and started to feel much better. Now, after 7 years on the carnivore diet, I have never been in better health. I believe this saved my life. I still have bad teeth from the vegan days, but atleast it's not getting worse.
eixiepia··on I thought I’d have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35 (2020)
The problem with many people today, is that their only measure of success is whether they are a success in the eyes of others, often strangers or people they don't even care about.

Find out what you really want, don't care what others think. This way it's much more realistic to have success, and you will probably also be much happier. I don't think many would want to be a CEO if they didn't care what others think.
