i started this out of necessity, not intention. the cost of this as a primary food source is less than half, maybe 1/4 compared to meat, so i certainly don't have a glucose meter or BP/HR monitor device.

regarding the domestication: you would have to tame the cattle first. modern cow breeds are more placid by nature due to thousands of years of selective breeding, but wild ones they would have taken a team to take down, and probably at first a lot of peoople would have been gored in the process. there is no way you can just "make friends" with a wild herd of Aurochs, you have to definitely know how to make rope, and definitely build enclosures for them that they can't break out of.

following them around - logically this would be a good nomadic movement strategy, since humans can do that, whereas other predators of such large heavy animals would have been more restricted in their range, and they go for other, different species as well, that for eg speed would preclude humans hunting them.

but this doesn't take the taming and breeding process out of the equation. imagine how it was after they start taming them and still to not neuter the males yet except for the chosen alpha. OUCH. and that's soft as mush domesticated bred cows, the wild ones would have been intense.

i'm wondering though if it was cattle first, since goats and sheep both also have similar milks and are a lot more manageable. goats and cattle also have very different natural habitats, the goats live in more rough terrain and cows in the plains where there is also more team hunters to contend with. there's no doubt that the cows have some serious benefits for their carrying capacity though, and eventually, labor capacity for farming.

vitamin D is also present in the cow milk. sure it would have been helpful for all those cow wrangling injuries probably but it's just one of thousands, probably millions of different photocatalytic reactions that increase in frequency with more light.

i did have some issues with hypertension initially, i have dialed back the salt intake now, i just do one teaspoon, and have it with mint-tea containing ayran mix for one of the 3L i have. well actually, today just doing the ayran properly for the first time. the mint is great cos it calms down my gut in general, i do get a thing every so often where i can hear my stomach unloading every couple of minutes and lots of gurgling noises, this happens less if i'm drinking some mint tea.

i've also dropped the cacao from the mix, and though its effects are mild i definitely went through an adjustment after i ran out.

anyhow, i'm pretty sure that the milk is increasing my regeneration in general, it's not miraculous but it's visible. i'm definitely getting improvements in my nervous system function, less of those common age-related glitches, and i'm watching very closely to see if it leads to some DNA repair that alters hair growth that went wrong years ago from anorexia, and general common age related hairs growing thicker and longer where they shouldn't be.

i'm also getting a decent response from exercise as regards to muscle development and increasing strength and stamina. it's definitely adequate for protein. the low fat milk, however, is badly balanced and was part of why i was having problems with ketosis when i was also fermenting it.

i'm looking forward to when i can take it to the next level with unpasteurised goat milk in the future, hopefully that will happen next year.

i've never got a xen kernel to boot on hardware ever. but maybe that's because i insist on AMD.

people who are endlessly banging on about AdOpTiOn are as likely to be legit as wanting a bigger pool of suckers to fish from.

if you constantly rant about aDoPtIoN you are under suspicion from anyone who knows how these things work, and though the most of suckers won't listen, if they even hear, some will.

not that i'm particularly on a special crusade against scammers per se but when i get obvious ponzi scheme messages in my LN memos i know we are about to see a new field of sucker harvesting start.

i just got a ponzi scheme message in my Wallet of Satoshi with a 5 sat payment.

if they get enough suckers they will continue and they will also use their ill-gotten sats to promote newbies installing WoS and Alby so they can reach more suckers.

just skip straight to the disposal part.

how to say "our relay" without saying our relay.

lenovo laptop here. can confirm it is trash. bios is horrible, screen is nasty, USB is flaky.

never getting lenovo again, not even if it's their fancy yoga crap.

lol, according to which relay?

vibes are definitely a thing. an old girlfriend of mine said the same, that if you look strong and ready they pass over you.

one of my friends had some assholes go to do a road rage at him while he was riding and he threw down his bike and started striding towards them like he was gonna give them a good ol glasgow handshake and they closed their car door and sped off faster than you can say boo.

it's best to be ready on a false alarm than let a bad mood project vulnerability and you lose that extra 2-3 seconds lead time you need if you are gonna run.

hail maries?

yes, by default it generates a new one. you have to manually add the same nsec to the new one for it to work the same as the old.

no lies detected

hehe, gn!

you'll get it that an effective indexing strategy is the key after your brain does its night time thing.

the california flag does have a bear and a communist star...

i guess the bear was the wrong animal, should have been a dragon.

the gossip model will have such a large amount of traffic it will use up relays VPS bandwidth allocations quickly and the delay with which the network synchronise would get longer with the log (2) of the number of users posting to it. keep in mind that this outbound traffic will also compete with users posting traffic as well.

even if you make that more efficient with a kademlia DHT based partition resistant broadcast, the thing is that relay users are not necessarily going to request all the content that is sent to them in this manner, and this is going to consume resources needlessly and ultimately slow down the synchrony of the network (time between publishing and all readers getting their subscriptions delivered), as well.

FOREST enables a publish/subscribe model to efficiently enumerate and request demanded notes from other relays, and not just notes, it can enable also media and other files, and not just the whole files, but pieces of them.

IPFS could achieve the same thing but its merkle trees are massive and people would jam them so full , and then it would also have the very same broadcast propagation inefficiency, and the same high cost of making missing piece requests.

the rockstar devs who think they are gods at the top of the trending feeds think that FOREST is the same as IPFS, they literally said as much and this is why they are shitting all over Robin and Colby's work, even resorting to straight up harassment and trolling.

it's not. it enables publish-subscribe efficiency without centralisation. think like fully open Kafka or Dynamo.

as a cloud dev you would be familiar with these things and why achieving them in a decentralised way is a big deal for Nostr.

it uses a lot of CPU because it's doing a massive amount of hashing of content to ask other strfry relays if they have "this hash" and "that hash".

this is the inefficiency that HORNET Storage is aiming to eliminate.

i dunno if posting content to other relays that "didn't ask for them" is entirely a good strategy but it's because of this promiscuity that you can find all the posts in a thread where users are outside your relay set, but in the set of those in the thread.

it would be better if relays had some system to quickly identify missing content that users are requesting and cache enough of it ahead of time that the user is none the wiser. Negentropy is one effort in this direction, but it is very primitive. HORNET Storage FOREST algorithm reduces the computation and network traffic requirement by the log of the number of accounts involved.

without this nostr would rapidly silo up on the most popular relays who would then either fail due to insufficient capacity or insifficient resources to pay for capacity, and only the big ones would stay operational and provide network data. and then the only thing we have is yet another facebook, yet another twitter. before you know it there will be ads forced on you and KYC, the whole nine yards. it's naive to think that the big guys aren't seeing this as a way to rebrand themselves as "open" with very little resources spent to take it over, and no real difference, since they can apply their algorithms to squash all the "offensive" content, shadowban those users by not relaying their posts, and colluding with other big relays to maintain a unified front, and keep their revenue stream from government and corporations.

this is the problem that we are warning people about that nobody seems to want to acknowledge who are supposedly the "wizards of nostr". anyone with a fragment of knowledge about distributed systems database state replication can tell you this is a looming problem.

it would be better if it was driven by an efficient algorithm that identifies relevant users content and could efficiently acquire the data after it has been requested, to proactively get more of that content from nearby it in the graph.

this will struggle to happen while everyone's watching the big swinging dicks at the top of the trending graph and paying no attention to the gradual attrition of small relays on the margin as the data set gets beyond the resources of volunteers.

i dunno how to explain it any more concisely, but due to what i see going on in the protocol and the way the social control is trumping the market needs, someone needs to start a call for more work to be done on building a scalable consensus.

personal relays really are just caches, they are an important measure in the efforts but also the easiest part to solve. cache syncing, data reference schemes, and ancilliary content hosting are all bigger, much harder problems to solve that are rapidly converging on cloud solutions and you know where that leads.

even though it's the critical technology, negentropy doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

the bailouts have already begun on GFC 2.0

boa tarde

it's one small step. it's not a centralisation resistant protocol, it's choose your own master protocol.
