Putting the die in diet in c/lemmyshitpost

I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I'd often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, "you ever try a food allergen panel?"

Turns out, I'm allergic to caesin. It's a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.

Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it's hard to pinpoint if there's even something concrete to even point to

Crysis director says it was so hard to run it became a meme because its highest settings were meant for future PCs: 'I wanted to make sure Crysis does not age' in c/[email protected]

I have a vague recollection of the developers building the highest settings were optimized for a future where single-core performance was where computing power would develop on... But then, cpu technology advanced towards parallelization/hyperthreading/multi core, and it took far longer for single core performance to catch up to Crysis' highest demands

Help Me Satisfy My Wife Using HA (self.homeassistant)

I have an early 2000s house and they went wild with a) the sheer number of wall switches and b) the number of 3-way switches. I want to replace a good number of them while accepting my wife's requirement that they look and function as dumb paddle switches when necessary.

I've looked around and these seem to be the best at fitting all of my requirements but Mama Mia, the price 😭 😭 😭 😭

Anyone have some suggestions?

I've been toying with the idea to implementing HA for a couple of years.

I have no fewer than 10 "smart device" apps on my phone and the privacy implications make me sick. I've been a Google Home and it's been a sad experience.

Over the holidays, I got Proxmox working on an old laptop and ordered a ZigBee stick and some sensors.

Installing HA using helper scripts was dummy easy and the laptop is performing solidly. Got hung up on network setup and z2m but pulled through with some Google-fu.

Did I have to do some tinkering? Yes. Can I control all - literally ALL - my smart devices on one customizable dashboard? F*** YEAH!

I am looking forward to accomplishing more, unplugging from the cloud, learning a lot, and hopefully making some life tasks less annoying.

Thank you to this community for the awesome work, conversation, and inspiration!

Everyone has seen Antelope Canyon on their Windows login screens it whatever but just a few miles away, you can visit Waterhole canyon, which is bigger and quieter. A guide was and to let me spend as much time as I wanted seeing up and getting my shots, a luxury I did not have at the more famous location. My pictures came out ok but the experience was worth it.

Went on a boat in Alaska to see and shoot whales but the crowd didn't afford many great pictures. Landscapes during the sunset though... Can do!

Haleakala Milky Way [OC] (lemmy.world)

24mm 13 sec f/2.8 iso3600

Driving all the way up to the top of Haleakala gets you to slightly over 10,000ft (3,000m) above the island of Maui. After sunset and when I thought it sufficiently dark, I started working on this shot.

I was extremely lucky to get clear skies and minimal wind on the evening of my visit. This particular shot also includes a comet in the top-right corner, a few satellites which I tried to clean up, and some lights (headlights?) which illuminated the observatory at the top of this long-extinguished volcano.
