Just an idea, but the migraine might be coming from inflammation in the brain. Eating less food causes less inflammation. You could try something like Aspirin or Glycine to bring inflammation down, it might help that last bit.

To both answers I would think no :) The Netherlands is very much a designed and architected country, there is no true wilderness here anymore. We don't seem to miss it, most people don't even talk about it as something they miss.

Those may be security exploits, but the real malware is what gets installed through Google Play.

The Russian government is using Sailfish in a big way. I heard the Russian post-office as well. There were negotiations with the Chinese government, but I assume that might have fallen through. Jolla is not much B2C anymore, mostly B2B now.

In the context of the question, that is not relevant. reCAPTCHA requires JavaScript as well. The question is about an alternative to reCAPTCHA. Both methods use JavaScript. I do understand where you are coming from though. And I also think

What happens here in the background? I can imagine at the frontend you have some JavaScript, where an input field gets filled in or something. There has to be some server side checking as well, otherwise a simple HTTP POST would submit fine

Akismet is a third party service that works really well. You send data there with a HTTP POST and it will reply with a yes or no, it is spam or not spam. It is not that hard to implement. You do have to be aware that you are sending user da

IE7 was only for a short time the newest Microsoft browser. IE8 lived for a long time, untill eventualy IE9 came about. IE7 didn't have tabs, IE8 did.

It is inspired by it, but with a modern look on the same ideas. It is about paying attention to what you do, to put effort into what you are doing. The Zen book was about that as well; if you put attention and effort into fixing motorcycles

I do have to say, this way of the N9 is really efficient and quick. I use it on my Jolla 1 phone, and you dial to the hour, and to the minute. Just two press/swipe actions. Not 20 up-up-up presses.

reCAPTCHA is a terrible thing for the web, in my experience. It is user hostile. It only gets used on websites because it is easy to set up. But really, the only reason someone would use it is because it is cheap and easy. There are much be

My stance on similar issues is, as long as I use all 10 of those guitars, I would want to keep them. I have 4 bicycles, and I use all 4 of them. When I don't use one anymore, it will have to go. Things are to be used and enjoyed. I hav

Interesting idea :) I don't think spambots are currently using Chromium or even running JavaScript. Using simple spamfilters in JavaScript still works fine on my setups.

Thank you. CBD oil is something worth to try out then. THC delivers the high in the weed. I know people who use pot, but I stay far away from it.

Thank you. Any tips for lowering inflammation? I only know of these; lower intake of alcohol, sleep well, kurkuma, aspirin. Just as a datapoint, I suffer from psychosis and experience a good response to aspirin.

No, it is outside of the Operating System. This happens at a lower level, in the firmware of the chips with GPS and modem. Every 5 seconds your location data is sent to the cell tower. Even if you turn off all your connections and GPS, it w

Did you check out Jolla and Sailfish OS? You can now buy a Sony EXperia X and flash it to Sailfish OS. I am quite happy with Sailfish. Still using it on my Jolla 1 as a daily driver after 3 years.
