The cause of insulin resistance is energy poisoning (i.e. people eating too much). The only cure for insulin resistance is weight loss. That's it. There's no study, not one, showing reversal of IR with keto/fasting independen

This is cool. NextDNS appears to implement DNS over HTTPs (DoH) and Firefox ships with it as an option, next to Cloudflare. UPDATE — Took it for a test drive: * Logs are concerning, but look good for optimizing the traffic and notice odd co

Unix OS variants have pretty standard paths like /opt or /usr. Going with /nix was basically the best way to run into trouble.
