The Oera Linda is an interesting book, which ties quite nicely with the main thesis of the "Ancient Apocalypse" Netflix series.
There is a passage on pages 41/42, where it is discussed why god does not prevent evil.
The answer given is that god allows us to follow our destiny "so that we should experience the results of wise and foolish deeds". When someone protects you from evil, that comes at the cost of freedom. "But that is not what our supreme being wants. He wants us to help each other, but also that all should be free and become wise."
Most of our freedoms today are lost because government claims they have to protect us and people sheepishly accept or even demand that 'protection'.
That's a loaded question lol - I'm not sure there is a collapse overall.
For some the internet is very helpful, for others very harmful. I'd say overall it is helpful, as I am yet to hear anyone say "I wish the internet was no more"?
I don't hate Elon, just don't trust he is the saviour he claims to be.
Elon builds centralised stuff he controls. Jack supports the building of decentralised systems nobody controls.

Wish you were sending to Europe too :)
People still taking the covid jabs, and wearing masks.
Should we add parenting to that? I was certainly horribly unprepared.
The quality of that research is garbage. Epidemiological studies with questionaires, comparing people who eat processed junk with those who eat processed junk with fiber (where it does have the benefit of blocking the absorbtion of the junk).
The only interventional study so far proved the opposite - zero fiber = zero constipation. Further there are many people who hadn't eaten fiber for years with no problems, so at least it's not universally required.
Here's a great talk that goes more in depth and isn't even that long:
https://youtu.be/xqUO4P9ADI0?si=M5MHfddbLjHKESv-
I don't care that some people want to destroy their gut with fiber but claiming it's required or even healthy is just wrong given the data we have.
I am not convinced by this video, here is what I didn't like:
1) he says he only found one RCT study on constipation. I asked ChatGPT to list 10 anditt returned 3 RCT studies and another 7 non-RCT
2) He says water intake has no impact on stool consistency and constipation. My personal experience is the opposite.
3) He compares the gut and its content to a street with cars, suggesting that more bulk causes constipation. While funny that is misleading. Gut content is more or less liquid until it reaches the rectum, where water is absorbed. It generally gets problematically hard only if the person is badly dehidrated.
4) when he compared a rabbit's GI tract to a human's, he failed to also compare it to a carnivore's for context. We are somewhere in the middle, though admittedly closer to carnivores. He also failed to mention we cook our food, unlike rabbits.
May be I'll finish the video later but so far it feels like he's advertising his theory rather than making a scientific presentation.
I am sure an elimination diet can be very helpful diagnostically but struggle to believe a lion diet can be good in the long term.
I also think a lot of the problems with natural carbs (as opposed to highly processed ones) come from eating too much in general.
Protonmail is propaganda, as it encourages centralization. Yes the self-host VPS provider can see it, but so can proton. This puts all eggs in one basket, which is a corrupt and easily accessed basket. Please see the following I wrote earlier:
~
First, Proton is NOT end-to-end encrypted. As per own their blog:
https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained
(Please note, I only changed the CAPS)
Quote:
"The email is encrypted in transit using TLS. It is THEN UNENCRYPTED and re-encrypted (by us) for storage on our servers using zero-access encryption. Once zero-access encryption has been applied, no-one except you can access emails stored on our servers (including us). It is NOT end-to-end encrypted, however, and might be accessible to the sender’s email service"
Second, they do scan it for spam and phising.
They repeat this with:
Source: https://proton.me/blog/encrypted-email-spam-filtering
"Emails that come from third party email providers obviously CANNOT be delivered with end-to-end encryption, but upon reaching our mail servers, we will encrypt them with the recipient’s public key before saving the messages(new window). All this is done in memory so that by the time anything is permanently stored to disk, the email is already un-readable to us. This gives us a very limited window to perform spam filtering on incoming messages."
Then they further elaborate,
"Secondly, the message is passed through our customized Bayesian filters which marks suspicious messages as spam.
Next, we generate checksums of incoming messages and check them against a database of known spam messages. If there is a match, we mark the message as spam. The checksums are done in such a way that it is also effective against mutating spam emails."
So they claim to have it unencrypted, then have a "limited time" to stop spam, but then also claim to encrypt it, and then after compare the hash to spam hash. If their own claims were true, then why do they only have a limited time?
Third, they hand over huge amounts of data. If it's encrypted, then what do they have to hand over?
From their own transparency report:
https://proton.me/legal/transparency
"2023
Number of legal orders: 6,378
Contested orders: 407
Orders complied with: 5,971
2022
Number of legal orders: 6,995
Contested orders: 1,038
Orders complied with: 5,957"
While as with a self-host VPS,
With a large amount of effort, the VPS provider could in theory snapshot memory to get access to emails. But this data is being sent through SSL encryption, so passive general surveillance is protected against. It would have to be work (and money wasted) for them to get the data.
Wow, I did not expect that from Proton, thanks for the links and the summary - very useful!
If a provider can access customer data, then unfortunately in the world as it is they will be forced to hand over some of it sooner or later.
How do you know it is caused by climate change?
It could also be engineered, or accidental.
Open, rational discussion is needed to establish the facts and come up with solutions.
What we have at the moment is panic causing propaganda and suppression of all dissenting scientists.
There is plenty of research that says fiber is needed. What the quality of that research is idk and am not about to go dig into their research setup and methods.
Just like you, I go by personal experience. I fully accept that ppl are different and what works for one may not work for the next.
I consider veganism an irrational cult, but lately see similar traits in hard core carnivores.
When they say eating just meet is fine cause animals do, that is wrong because we don't eat like animals. We don't take in fur/feathers, guts and plenty of fresh blood while eating meet. All of these play an important role for true carnivores.
Humans have a digestive tract which is closest to that of the pig. We are omnivores. Which doesn't mean that someone out there can't thrive on a lion or vegetarian diet. What do I know there might even be someone out there feeling great as a vegan :D
Not a nutrient, but needed to stimulate gut motility.
Carnivores get a lot of bulk in their diet because they swallow e.g. fur and herbivore gut content. Humans don't.
The way I run it, email is private - but only when the other side has a similar setup, which is practically never :)
I like Protonmail too, it is a very good service.
Wish FreedomBox had an integrated mail server.
Proton mail encrypts stuff on your device, before sending it to their server. That provides privacy, if working as declared.
Anyone using a third party VPS provider has to trust them with their data. You have full access to everything on your VPS instances, no?
Setting up all the DNS records right takes some effort, yes. You will need a VPS or an ISP that gives you a static IP and the ability to set the PTR record for it.
Other than that, self hosting without losing email is perfectly possible. I have been doing it for the last 10 years or so.
I'm clearly not quite used to deepfakes and still believe video too much lol
"The IDF continues to slaughter civilians in Lebanon with US-backed airstrikes as news surfaces that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire with Israel shortly before Israel assassinated him. "
Israel has been doing that for a long time now.
Don't see why they would abandon the 'self defense' excuse for the much worse 'Iran hit us so we will take it out on the weak'.
Israel's foreign policy looks bad enough as it is, no need to make up stuff to discredit it.
Why do you say it is in response to the Iranian attack? Did the IDF say so?
