I don't know about "better". Anyone who has repaired a mug with kintsugi and then put a hot cup of coffee in it, knows what I'm talking about. You're living a perpetual gamble with the quality of your patchwork.

This is true only if you ignore practical considerations like symbol versioning and migrating (e.g. the latest pthread glibc changes that aren’t backwards compatible).

That’s true for many early OBD-2 cars, but anything reasonably modern (e.g. 2006) correlates signals between upstream and downstream O2 sensors. Most workarounds you see on the market are patched ECU firmware to fib a scaled second O2 senso

You make it sounds like they’re conserving their nice things, by not letting other people have them. Gate keeping progress. Help me understand how /you’re/ on the side of progressivism, here.

Do you think there are more people with “mental health problems” before or after the advent of “modern psychology”? To be clear: do you think the practice is helping or hurting?

This has been my personal experience. Things go strongly ketogenic around day 3. It’s an experience worth having at least once in your life, even if you’re not interested in a ketogenic diet. The longest I’ve fasted is 7 days, and things

At minimum you could download software that is at least signed by someone you trust. Rather than streaming arbitrary commands from a source that the extent of the authentication is that their CDN's TLS certs matches their domain.
