  • Trump may be mystery patient in odd case of 79yo getting experimental obesity drug

  • Have ADHD. I've been taking a GLP-1/GIP compounded injection for a year and it has done nothing for nicotine or poor impulse control shopping. If anything it made the shopping worse as clothes no longer fitting becomes a great excuse to shop. At least that's my experience.

  • Trump may be mystery patient in odd case of 79yo getting experimental obesity drug

  • Been on a GLP-1/GIP compounded injection for a year. Lost 90lbs.

    I physically have a hard time overeating on fats/protiens. Like I want to vomit. Meat consumption is way down from before.

    Simple carbs like starches and sugar I can overinduldge on but seem to get sick faster than before taking the medication.

    It mostly helps with food related cravings but its not a silver bullet. I can still fallback to emotional eating under high stress and fluctuate +5 lbs with water retention. Its just much easier to recover.

    I lost about 1/3 the weight on my own tracking everything. With the medication it tripled the rate of loss and I didn't need to track anymore. I'm much more able to trust my body and hunger signals developing a healthier relationship with food.

  • I'm picturing ever single Lemmy user wearing these, boots and all

  • Yes I have several micro shorts/skirts. Just have to shop the female aisle.

  • Well actually...

  • The 'Wheel of Time' Reboot Could Fix the Franchise's Biggest Problem

  • I think the first season was a shit show due to covid or the writers strike (or both).

  • The 'Wheel of Time' Reboot Could Fix the Franchise's Biggest Problem

  • Canceled after 3 seasons.

  • Who can relate?

  • Sounds like one hell of a dopamine hit. Like the self-induced pressure from procrasting injected with steroids, topped with a drizzle of adrenaline, and dusted with the strongest speed humanity has to offer.

  • Possibly have IBS, trying loperamide

  • Personal anecdote and not a doctor, but mine went away, or rather is managed, with weight loss assisted with GLP-1.

    In retrospect I wasn't being honest with myself in regards to how much I was eating or the quality of said food.

    When I first started GLP-1, my appetite (really cravings) mostly went away and junk food beyond a tiny handful made me incredibility sick with flu-like symptoms.

    Now that I'm at my goal weight, still taking a maintenance dose of GLP-1, I can cheat a bit more without side effects, but a burger and fries or a pizza will absolutely trigger my IBS to this day if the meal is over ~500 calories.

    Eating clean and not overindulging has caused the opposite problem. I have to supplement fiber or I won't poop for a week. Its not uncomfortable constipation either, there just isn't a lot of waste there to eliminate.

    Good luck on your pooping journey!

    edit: Also seconding a bidet!

  • Well, this is annoying

  • I work with a Swift fan. They'll cut you if you talk smack, lol. I don't get her appeal but the observation of her fans is real.

  • https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

    Chromium and their particular fork have much better exploit hardening via sandboxing.

    My understanding is Firefox has better anti-fingerprinting and uBlock origin via manifest v2 support (or v2 features ported to v3).

    The argument often used is malicious ads. Sandboxing and hardening largely mitigates ads that contain exploits, but it doesn't protect against social engineering, crypto mining, tracking, etc.

    So I guess it comes down to your threat model and desired experience.

    I personally prefer the uBlock origin experience, but an ad free experience and escape from targeted advertising was my target opsec when venturing into privacy.

  • Package Management on Linux, FreeBSD, and Other UNIX-Family OSes

  • No nix or pacman? :(

  • After three years since the original crackdown on third party clients, RIF appears to be inoperable with user account API keys

  • Stealth is pretty great for lurkers. Could use a little more polish for image subs (porn browsing), but its good enough.

  • Those with a smart watch, which one and how do you use it daily?

  • Pebble Time 2.

    Mostly sleep and step counting. Media controls on occasion. Just got it so not had a chance to customize it much yet.

    Coming from, in order: Garmin Vivoactive 5, 4, 3, 2, Pebble Time, Pebble OG.

    Preferred the healthstats on the Garmin out of the box. Great indicator if I'm getting sick based on its measurements or if I'm not being as active as I should be.

  • Rsync author responds to online outrage about his usage of LLMs

  • My experience is you have to close as many degrees of freedom as possible. Its tedious as hell for generating quality code.

    Its great at debugging if you require it to manage its context window by delegating tasks to scoped subagents, generate evidence with references, and verify that evidence with a minimal reproducible example. Expensive... I've seen them run for a solid 30 minutes before responding back (not including the "thinking" log), but it usually finds the issue.

    A similar technique can be used for code generation but again it burns tokens and takes awhile. Have it generate and verify isolated reference implementations for anything nontrivial. Much easier to review with the rest of your domain and layered on complexity stripped out. The "thinking" log is interesting to watch as it bangs it head against bad assumptions or documentation and needs to start digging into dependency source code to work it out.

    Only then apply the implementation to your project from the reference implementation. Takes breaking down the tasks though to small enough units and closing those degrees of freedom.

    Anecdote on degrees of freedom: This one didn't require a reference implementation in particular. I was reviewing a PR (LLM assisted, I wasn't the authoring dev) to add signature validation to OAuth tokens. It duplicated the entire header/token parsing logic. It needed that path closed with a pointer to where the existing logic was and explicit requirements to enhance it. Refactor was great upon reviewing and the PR size was reduced by more than half.

  • How do I choose which independent developers to donate to and how much should I donate?

  • What do you NOT do, that you would do without privacy violation? [discussion]

  • Same. 80/20 rule. Even reaching 80% of my privacy goals for 20% of the effort was a ton of work. Netting that last 20% for 4x the effort I already put it in just isn't worth it.

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

  • what did you like more about rclone than Cryptomator?

    I wanted to leave Dropbox and ran across it. I liked the number of supported backends under one tool. I use it to access things beyond Backblaze like gdrive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Proton Drive. Well documented config file format. I was able to manage the config with Nix due to this.

    Is it suitable for sync, or is it more for backups

    It works great for one way sync. Bisync I never got working well enough to trust it. Bisync is nice for 3-way merges (two devices modifying files on the same cloud drive). Dropbox, gdrive, OneDrive win here. I've learned to live without it.

    I'm ideally looking for near-ish to real-time sync for contacts, notes, files, and pictures

    On a computer the fuse mounted volumes are near live. Cahce locally in a VFS. Anything else you'd have to script probably. There is rclone-watch but can't say I've tested it

    With Round Sync you can browse with live refresh when you move between directories, but syncing would be on a schedule. Looks like a 15m interval is the fastest frequency.

    Are there any frontends for Linux you'd recommend, or do you script out the functionality you're looking to implement?

    I mostly just mount on login with the VFS cache. Use my normal file browser. One command per mount. Its rare (practically never) that I need to work on something without internet, so I don't deal with trying to script syncs. I tried in the early days of playing with it, but fuse mounts ended up meeting my needs.

    No GUI that I use outside of my normal file browser. The only thing I need to use the CLI for is cleaning up soft deleted files and old versions (Backblaze specific thing).

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

  • It might not have the functionality you are looking for as far as app integrations, but my progression was Dropbox -> Cryptomator over Dropbox -> rclone over Backblaze B2.

    You can nest a "crypt" remote (end-to-end encryption with your own private key) over tons of cloud providers. You can mount it like a drive in Linux.

    Round Sync is an Android client that can schedule cronlike backups. Pretty much set it and forget it on my phone. I delete things on my phone when I need space and every couple years go cleanup what's in B2.

    Dropbox was better priced at max capacity when I used it ($120/yr for 2TB?). My Backblaze bill started at $1/mo and is like $4/mo now. Its been a couple years since I cleaned things out and could probably cut that in half.

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

  • Same. None of that self-hosted cloud storage is going to save you from data loss in the event of a fire or theft unless you plan for offsite.

    I just use rclone with Backblaze B2, end-to-end encrypted with my own private key, and call it a day.

    I have a mirrored BYOD setup for my media server but its all stuff I can download again. Its just an onsite cache with a little redundancy against a failed drive.
