Ive done it all. Started out with sendmail, moved to qmail after a few years, then courier, then exim and finally postfix with dovecot. Also administered a few microsoft exchange servers along the way.

Remember those political prisioners that are persecuted by the US state for performing their duty to protect and uphold justice. #grownostr

TRUTH

I've been running my own email server for 30 years now, and expect to another 30 years.

Please, please, make email obsolete!

Imagine if a lawyer that works on behalf of the FBI could convince you to let him block certain notes from npubs he monitors.

Now realize that actually happened on twitter without even your knowledge.

I gave a gift of scotch, cheese, chocolate and wine and couldn't remember what Pinot noir was like. I guessed it was on the sweet side but not fortified and not as bitter as cabernet or merlot.

Eating a high carb and high sugar diet does not promote diabetes.

Eating a low carb diet does not reverse or prevent diabetes.

Shocking, I know. Here me out. The common and popular understanding about what is going on isn't quite right.

For the purposes of this discussion, I will define diabetes as an impairment to your ability to rapidly and effectively process blood glucose, should glucose happen to enter your blood stream.

You might have diabetes even if you eat a zero-carb diet. You wouldn't know. Because without eating sugars you can't tell if your body is good at processing those sugars. All the nasty symptoms and damage caused by diabetes will be absent while you don't eat sugars, which is great. But once you start eating sugars again you could find that your body cannot tolerate them.

Diabetes is caused by two things: (1) visceral fat that has invaded your pancreas, and (2) beta cells that are not very fat tolerant (this is genetically determined). If your pancreatic beta cells are not very fat tolerant, and you have a tendency to store fat viscerally, then you will become diabetic at perhaps a low body weight, maybe even at 25 BMI. You drew the short straw. Some people have very tolerant beta cells and store fat subcutaneously and can get up to massive BMIs without becoming diabetic. Everybody has a personal body weight over which they will become diabetic that is mostly genetically determined and not known to be changeable.

What happens with diabetes is that as the pancreas becomes more and more fatty, the beta cells can't tolerate the fattyness of the environment and stop behaving like beta cells. They don't die, they are still there, but they cease operation.

The good news is that if you lose weight, those beta cells will resume operation and your diabetes will be cured.

So going back to my initial statements, it isn't about carbs or fat or protein in your food. It is about total energy consumption, total body weight. Becuase your body converts excess carbs into fat, and it converts excess protein into fat too. And if you eat in excess, eventually your pancreas will become too fatty for your beta cells.

People think sugars/carbs cause diabetes probably because diabetics can't tolerate sugars. But carbs only cause diabetes if you eat them to excess, causing you to become overweight and your pancreas to become fatty. You can do this to yourself by overeating protein too.

People think a low-carb diet cures diabetes, but this is only if that diet causes you to lose weight below your diabetic threshold. It also happens to mask diabetes since you aren't eating sugars so you really can't tell if your beta cells are working or not while you are on the diet.

This post was informed by research done at Newcastle University.

I don't disagree, but carbs are addictive and are less satiating than HFLC which means you will tend to overeat if you eat a high-fat diet with a nontrivial amount of carbs, or a high-carb diet with a nontrivial amount of fat. Another factor is that grains tend to be fortified, and adding brewers yeast to grains will delay the 'full' horomone and this also causes one to overeat.

What kind of wine pairs with dark chocolate from Singapore?

For everyone's benefit that is wondering WTF is all this 0xChat murmering:, here is my synopsis:

nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 is an android/ios app based on nostr. Its not a kind:1 (microblogging) oriented app, rather a chat-only program like SimpleX.

It includes 1:1 chat, group chat, and voice/video phone app and also has a built-in cashu wallet for tipping (instead of zaps). It uses your existing npub/nsec keys, or you can create a new one, but it presently does not support multiple identities. If you want to use it with multiple identities, you need to log-out and log-in with the other one.

If you use your existing npub, any previous giftwrapped chats you had in amethyst will show up. It uses giftwrap by default for PMs, but it also has another "more private" chat that I don't know anything about yet.

I've done work for a BRK subsidiary in the past. I was not treated well. This news makes me elated.

Thus saith the Lord: "Don't be a fuckin dope."

..At that time Berodach–baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon. And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord. Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
