It also raises levels of LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

This is completely ignoring that there’s multiple varieties of LDL cholesterol, some of which are benign. And basic blood draws don’t differentiate them, you need more detailed blood tests.

They are also low in dietary fiber, possibly causing constipation.

Dietary fiber is not an essential nutrient. Not only that, when I went carnivore for 2 months, after the first week of acclimation I was more regular than I have ever been in my life.

A carnivore diet high in red meat increases the risks of colon cancer and gout.

The study referenced is an epidiological study based on surveys of people that were asked to recall what they’ve eaten for the past 30 years. This resulted in clearly erroneous data where average daily calory intake was wildly off from average human requirements.

And you’re not supposed to draw conclusions from epidemiological studies with results lower than a 100% risk increase (aka doubling risk). The result of this study was 18%.

At best, this study should have been used to propose a more focussed double-blind study on the subject. But they didn’t. The WHO should be ashamed for platforming this trash study as if it’s 6-sigma physics results

The high protein intake of a carnivore diet can lead to impaired kidney function

The amount of protein that you’d need to eat to make this a problem is far beyond what a normal human could eat in a day. You’d die from rabbit starvation before it’d get that far. This study is like the one rat study claiming that asperthame causes cancer, but they were giving the rats 1000x the dose a normal human would consume if you corrected for body weight.

Agreed. And I’m going to expand on your comment a bit.

A lot of people like to argue that you’re not getting enough vitamin C on a carnivore diet, but that’s not true. There’s some details that most people aren’t aware of.

Glucose and vitamin C have very similar molecular structures. So similar that most mammals are capable of synthesizing any vitamin C they need from glucose, which can in turn be synthesized from protein. A side effect from this similarity is that vitamin C and glucose are absorbed via the same pathways, so a diet that’s high in glucose will result in less vitamin C absorption due to crowding out those pathways.

Because of this, if you’re not consuming a lot of glucose, you don’t need to consume as much vitamin C because you’ll absorb a higher percent of it. Not only that, on a carnivore diet you’re avoiding some compounds like oxalic acid, which significantly reduces absorption of several vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, etc. Oxalic acid is found in most leafy green vegetables.

Also, there’s small amounts of vitamin C (alongside every other necessary vitamin/mineral) in meat, particularly beef. Not a lot, but if you’re more efficient at absorbing it it ends up being enough.

Granted, I don’t personally recommend the carnivore diet because 1: it’s boring, 2: it’s expensive, and 3: you need to do more research than what I’ve stated here to avoid problems. But regardless, it is doable.

But if you want most of the upsides without as much hassle, I’d recommend just going keto. You get 90% of the benefits, you get more variety in your food, and you can even make it vegetarian or vegan if you want.

I tried it for a couple of months. I felt great on it, but it got really fucking boring

I pulled so many of these boogers out of the garden this summer

Swing again; you missed.

After all that practice you had on your kids? Oof, that must be embarrassing

Yes.

I have an app on my phone for usage limits, and for social media I have that set for 1 hour. I rarely hit the limit nowadays, but Lemmy is more than capable of taking up that time unless I have a super specific question in a niche hobby

With a cloud-based solution you still have the issue of who owns what, plus the logistics of shuffling around data if things go tits up. In addition, we already don’t want to pay $10/month for 6 months to run a game server that’s only used for 1 month

You are delusional.

The truth of the world is that most people don’t really care what gender you are. And most people on the internet don’t know what your gender is until you tell them.

Fast forward to you going straight to treating people like shit, and immediately using your gender to declare anyone that pushes back as a bigot in order to avoid any and all criticism. That’s not healthy behavior. Go seek help, particularly therapy

Says the person that sounds like they beat their kids

children should be seen and not heard.

Bruh, wtf

Way to immediately prove their point

Bacxano! has the best opening in my opinion. I highly recommend looking it up on Youtube

I’m not sure about that, Baccano! really gives it a run for its money

Or implying that their behavior reflects poorly on the entire blahaj community

That user is a different person from the first one that responded.

The blahaj user’s only contribution to the conversation was that snarky comment, and I brought it up because I’ve noticed a few users from that instance do that this past week, and not just to me. Like I said, I expect that behavior from hexbear, as blahaj users are usually nice to interact with.

And on the blowing up at the original commenter, I’m tired of people using me for their own self-gratification. And if you’re not actually reading someone’s question before saying something, that’s generally what it is. Hopefully they learned to not make that mustake in the future

location requirements, insurance requirements, and third-party checks on who has what gun when because

This sounds like a privacy dystopia ripe for governmental abuse.

but we should also attach educational requirements

Or just teach this in schools to everyone. We already need to add home-economics back into public schools across the country. Include firearm safety alongside it. And when everyone takes the class, you don’t have to track anyone.

irresponsible gun ownership is one of the primary causes of death in what should be the richest and safest country in the world.

Factually incorrect. Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death. And out of gun deaths, accidents are a minority. The largest cause of gun deaths are suicides, which are best fixed via improving living standards with the methods I’ve already stated.

Your comment is nothing but idealistic, flowery language that doesn’t really say anything. It’s the gun control equivalent of “save the mother and the child” that’s being parroted by the pro-life crowd

You can front any three un-clustered nodes with a load balancer to the same effect

Good to hear. Are there specific example you could point me to? I’d like to learn more

I do find it a little odd that you’re so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.

Personally, part of it is that I don’t want everything to be solely dependent on a box I own. I don’t like the idea of lording a petty fiefdom over my friends. If there’s multiple distributed boxes that are technically equal, then there’s less potential for interpersonal friction.

Also, while I have the more powerful server, I also have very little free time. If my box stops working for whatever reason, I don’t want my friends to have to wait 1-2 weeks for me to fix it

100% uptime is really not feasible so forget that. Even the commercial servers have downtimes.

What I was thinking of doing was having 2-3 separate boxes distributed between houses and could automatically switch which boxes handles resources when 1 goes down. No individual box would have 100% uptime, but you’d have minimal disruptions when any particular box has issues or needs maintenance.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like kubernetes works that way, and I don’t know of any software that would. Best bet now is probably to distribute backups between the boxes and manually spin up a secondary box when the primary goes down

But you could have a setup where one server hosts the game and syncs the game state with the other servers in the network, and if one server fails the network decides which failover server to connect to, all the clients connect to that server and continue playing on the new host.

This is kinda what I was hoping that kubernetes did. It’d be awesome if there was some software that automatically did the hand-off, but I haven’t heard of one either

Going through some of the more detailed responses, yeah this is probably the best bet, and it’ll most likely be my server that’s the primary. I’ve got a Jellyfin server / NAS with an Intel 12700k, and I could either simply add a docker container or dedicate resources via Proxmox.

Meanehile one of my friend is experimenting with an old $50 desktop with a 3rd gen i3. It’s… a decision, but he’s got more free time than I do
