You know what damages your heart more than keto? Being fat.

[–] grandkaiser 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of. I went on keto over the past 6 months and lost 60 lbs. I ate bacon almost every day. Keto is about maintaining ketosis by keeping carbs to a minimum (no fruit, no starches like rice and potatoes, no sugars, no bread, etc). You can eat as much no-carb food as you want. You lose a lot of weight.

instructions unclear, Turkish gyro still gave me heartburn (but it was worth it)

Doesn't sound like alt history. Sounds like a joke. Two totally different eras.

I use both Linux and Windows (Linux professionally, windows personally)

Got a buddy of mine that will wax on for hours about how windows is pointless and should have been replaced by Linux years ago. I'll then go "Cool, so uh, did that game download yet? Lets play!" Then start up the game. Four hours later and he's still trying to get the sound to work or make the graphics display while continuing his rant on how user friendly Linux is.

Like, Linux is great and all, but fuck me, it's not user friendly.

Encrypted VPN between each side. IPSEC over GRE using 1024-bit AES encryption is more than enough.

Honestly though, if someones cracking IPSEC with any encryption against a random person then that's already leagues more than any script kiddie is capable of and professional hackers don't have the motive.

.com domains are availible for about $12 per year. .sucks is a gTLD scam at best.

With few exceptions, this is where the buck stops with the internet. If ICANN doesn't recognize you, "the world" can't associate your IP address to a domain name. Some "alt dns root zones" exist, but they're either rogue states, bad actors, or even in one case, a crypto grift.

DNS engineer here, got two corrections to make if you care:

the owner of Twitter.com couldn’t really do shit about you owning it.

That's not entirely true. .sucks is walking an extremely fine line and if they ever grow big enough and piss off enough companies, they will be shut down. Larry Strickling, head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration has spoken on multiple occasions about his concerns about gTLD (what people are calling "novelty" TLD's) abuse to redirect users incorrectly (either for parody or for malicious purpose) Source. ICANN absolutely will crack down if they think a gTLD is acting rogue as they would be afraid of the NTIA cracking down on them. Passing the gTLD rules was already very contentious for many reasons. Defensive domain list expansion being one of the biggest.

There’s the other obvious issue that if you’re making a site like “twitter.sucks” you will have to be very careful not to infringe on their copy rights for things like their logo, etc. Especially if the basis of the site is to mock the .com version of the same.

Surprisingly, no. Copyright infringement doesn't apply to parody. Unless twitter.sucks is a fully functional site that draws in revenue (and not just from the humor, but from actually having a directly competing product), then it's mostly safe from a copyright claim.

Me to, but in this case, I think it's because of politics.
