1. Have an exit plan

SSRI can be life changing for some people, in a very positive way. But definitely not for everyone or at the first time. Have a plan with your doc on what to do if things get worse, and if needed on how to stop taking the meds in a safe way.

2. Schedule a follow up

Maybe 1 month after you start taking the medication schedule a follow up to review the meds. You may need to change a couple of times before you have the right ones. Have a doctor who understand and agrees with this plan. Then schedule a follow up something like 6 months later and so on regularly maybe yearly if everything goes well. Don't see it as a one off thing. Psychiatric meds are often hit and miss.

3. Don't rely solely on meds

There are many interventions that help with depression, including psychotherapy, mindfulness, and lifestyle changes. All this should be considered for the success of the therapy. Meds at their best will help you with the change.

Also if you feel a tight stomach, after ruling out organic illness, you may consider massage therapy to help you with anxiety. Learning massage therapy actually helped me a lot.

There are projects out there trying to make it easier for beginners, like Yunohost, FreedomBox, and FreedomBone.

YunoHost in particular has a nice community, they are worth supporting if you're into democratizing self hosting.

Until the grid decarbonizes, this is what is actually happening. Maybe in the future we will all have houses capable of producing 2kW energy for cooking.

An efficient rocket stove outperforms induction if you take account externalities, which is the right thing to do if you are environmentally minded.

And you get somehow 2kW power from that renewable source. Good luck with that. Figures are grid averages, so it reflect the current reality.

The problem is "induction cooks by themselves" is a fictional entity. How do you get 2kW power autonomously in a cities where the majority of the world population lives nowadays?

The comparison is not incorrect, it takes into account externalities, which if you are environmentally minded is the right thing to do.

The large majority of people use the grid, so it's very relevant IMO. But yes, if you somehow have your own source of energy to power a 2kW it's excellent.

Also this: KeePass logged password in plaintext. Really bad CVE case. KPXC had no such issue.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=keepass

Keepass was found to have a security issue recently which exposed password in plain text on log files, which makes me happy I never used it.

KeePassXC had no such issue.

That was CVE-2022-0275 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=keepass

Keepass was recently found to be less secure and expose password in plain text in some situation. Depending on how your OS deals with drag and drop, might not be the safest option.

BTW KeepassXC did not have the same issue.

There are browser extensions but you might not even need it if you use the Autotype function.

I sync the (strongly) encrypted database throughout my devices with Syncthing and it works flawlessly. I have an old laptop with syncthing running always on to avoid sync conflicts.

I'm on Debian Bullseye stable with Wayland GNOME out of the box, and autotype works fine.

On Linux at least you don't really need a browser extension and can arguably reduce the attack surface

You can use global Auto-type which brings up Keepass window where you can pick from relevant entries.

You can a Global keyboard shortcut and it will work mostly anywhere.

Yes, induction cooking is in par with a typical open fire in terms of electric efficiency.

Gas is the worst for air quality, in particular with certain types of cooking and the self cleaning cycle some have.

But people with electric cooking devices can still have high pollutant levels without proper ventilation.

The major con of induction though is the very poor energy efficiency: 15% That's on par with a typical open fire.

It's a merely symbolic move. Cyber forces don't need a NATO badge to operate, or to cooperate with NATO. How does this inconvenience Putin exactly? From his perspective, it's already a given NATO is working with Ukraine very closely.

A catalyst to WWIII, amazed at the crowd cheering.

An absolutely unnecessary escalation towards the full involvement of NATO. We all lose, doesn't hurt Putin a bit.

I see the mirror of NATO interventionism and US exceptionalism deeply marked in your words.

Putin was too proud to enter NATO the bureaucratic way, he was asked to fill out the form. A big mistake hurting everyone.

Apparently Ukrainians have surrendered now.

What a nerve wrecking situation. In the heat of the moment deciding when is the right time to surrender. Probably the smartest decision of the day.

Loss of coolant can have effects on the reactor and/or the spent fuel pool or container if there is such in the facilities. Any of these could go critical very quickly and ignite/explode.

But based on what happened in Fukushima, critical electrical/cooling systems and backups would have to be damaged in order to pose catastrophic risk.

While this is unlikely I'll probably lose some hours of sleep on this.

I very much doubt the Russians would do this on purpose (fallout would risk the whole operation and possibly Russian territory too) although the fighting around there is incredibly stupid.

That is a dangerous bunch of presumptions:

1. Presuming the boat was attacked. 2. Presuming it was the Russian (or I'm presuming you did lol) 3. Based on the previous two presuming it was not an accident, and 4. Presuming apologies and compensations would not be issued in case it was.

Last thing I've learnt they were in touch with some Spanish bank institution to work on an implementation.

I guess a lot goes on behind closed doors.

Exceptionalism is a sad counter argument to this perspective. Didn't the US just recently sanctioned top magistrates investigating US war crimes?

Netflix does this also. I've noticed in a documentary, I believe it was "The Social Dilemma", which now includes comments about COVID-19 disinformation campaigns.

Oh just because the government is hostile. So if the government is "friendly" we can safely keep exploiting the workers? That pretty much describes how the US is going.

It is propagandist and borderline racist. There are factories in China with working conditions comparable or better then in the US. Remember the middle class is growing in China and diminishing in the US.

For once they could try. They can have rules for their suppliers and factories, and enforce those. Other companies do. Even a tiny company like FairPhone does. But no, they chose for decades the cheap labor, and now they turn around and say "no more" just to defend their reputation.

In any case, apparently their apologies to China will not stop them from moving away from Xinjiang working, even if just for show.
