It is not freezing, it is vitrifying. If ice crystals form, then cell walls are destroyed. The water must not expand as it cools. It must become an amorphous solid, a glass. Making this happen, reversibly, will need heat to manage stress. I

I've read pages at the Alcor site on cryonics that address these issues. They had posted many years ago that a rabbit kidney had been vitrified, stored for a month in liquid nitrogen, then thawed and restored in a live rabbit. While I

Melatonin is always made from serotonin. Serotonin is made from tryptophan, which can also be made into niacin. Taking tryptophan and niacin as a supplement will boost both serotonin and melatonin naturally, assuming these pathways are work

I have personally reduced my a1c from 6.2 to 5.3, mostly by fasting for 36 hours per week. I already cut refined sugar out of my diet several years ago.

Taurine and Vitamin E are readily available and seem prudent. For melatonin, tryptophan plus niacin would maximize the serotonin pathway (note this is dangerous when used with SSRIs). How many of these are easily available? I had no idea th

In some defense of the parent post, a new kernel is relinked at every boot. This load is noticeable. This is aslr on steroids, and it does vastly increase kernel attack complexity, but it is a computational and I/O load that no version

As I understand it, OpenBSD is similar to Linux 2.2 architecturally in that there is a lock that prevents (most) kernel code from running on more than one (logical) CPU at once. We do hear that some kernel system calls have moved out from b

More modern x86 comes with significant problems. The minimum is now eight cores on a die for both AMD and Intel, so running a quad core system means staying on 14nm. You may loudly criticize holding back on a quad core system, but you aren&

The first SSH server that chose it was TinySSH. Have you ever visited their site? https://tinyssh.org/ I use this in a variety of ways, thousands of logins per day. I don't see much love for AES.

The djb suites are well-represented both in TLS and SSH. While NTRU Prime is not implemented in TLS, if it has even half the lifespan of DSA in SSH then it will be quite long lived.
