How much coffee is too much coffee? A doctor answers.

adnan360 wrote the following post Mon, 08 Mar 2021 10:46:17 +0300

This video says the amount of coffee that we should consume (if we absolutely have to) is a small cup (that is shown around 1:30 on video), and only once a day.

If taken more it can cause:
- tiredness
- less sleep
- ruin ketosis
- anxiety
- less concentration
- less happiness
- create tension on back of neck
- less digestion

There are possible fixes:
- drinking decaf (organic)
- Teeccino
- Tea (which has been naturally decaffeinated)

If pregant: "Like oxygen and other substances, caffeine passes unfiltered through the placenta into the body of the fetus. However, the unborn child lacks the enzymes to break down the stimulating substance, so it accumulates in the brain tissue in particular."

Looking forward to it being a FOSS search engine.

I wouldn't trust this browser after several security problems in the past.

@Alado Yeah, I guess this will stay with them forever. The first one is probably understandable since (1) they do not recommend TOR window for sensitive browsing:

Note that Private Windows with Tor Connectivity in Brave are just regular private windows that use Tor as a proxy. Brave does NOT implement most of the privacy protections from Tor Browser.
...
If your personal safety depends on remaining anonymous, we highly recommend using Tor Browser instead of Brave Tor windows.

- source

(2) it seems to be unintentional. So I'd say it's alright. They should be more careful in future, but it happens. Even Linux has very weird bugs, e.g. there was a backspace bug. If I remember correctly bugs on sudo as well, that seem unacceptable. But we still use it.

The second one is bad. If typing in binance.us redirected you to an affiliate link instead, it is a bit awkward. Since it's a crypto supported browser, I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this. But it would've miles better if they just asked for the redirection or at least notified that it's an affiliate link and to turn off, you can do this and this.

Personally I don't like surprises like these, so I try to use libre browsers as much as possible. I like IceCat, recently started trying LibreWolf and if I want to use Chromium based browser I like to use Iridium. They are hardened, has spying features mostly turned off by default etc. (Although probably no Chromium based browser is ok since Electron and Chromium has freedom issues and not allowed in Parabola.)

But the problem is that most people are not used to the life I am used to. Brave has a good UI and it's beginner friendly. If someone uses Chrome/ium, I suggest them to use Brave. It's better than those. Brave has made mistakes but it's a good browser at the end. I try to stay away from it but a beginner would get their first step in privacy through this browser. If they become more aware about things, they can tweak it, turn off features or maybe switch to IceCat when they're ready.

It's kind of like Signal. They're doing it "mostly" right, they're at least open source (maybe not libre) so it's better to at least have that instead of proprietary ones.

I just installed LibreOffice for the first time. I am interested in Base, as something part of the MySQL-based data warehouse. To me there is something really insteresting going on...

LibreOffice is building a Google Office and Office365 competitor? If that's the case that is just AWESOME! I use Google Office for over 5 years, and the basic 12 USD / month / user provides very little.. Using anything database-related adds up very quickly to a lot of money, and it just gets worse from there.

Base for LibreOffice is something I might be using alongside with shell-based scripting, phpMyAdmin and Fabrik web forms, and now the desktop.

The manufacturing supply-chain is shaping up, and there are already templates related to QR coding - essential in factory heat-maps, for example.

@FourOh-LLC

Yes, I guess it's called Collabora Office. I recently found out about Collabora Office (same as LibreOffice but focused on online) integration in Nextcloud. I saw this article on Mastodon written by @Ade Malsasa Akbar, tried it and it was just great. You can just use desktop LibreOffice Writer, Calc, Impress from within NextCloud. I registered a free Nextcloud account to try it and it was amazing. I'd argue it's better than Google docs.

#Odysee + #PeerTube (especially #TILVids) has made my video viewing experience a lot cleaner. Nearly all the Linux channels are in these 2 services and not to mention there are many popular channels. Some years ago this would've been impossible. Thanks to all these projects and their hard work. 👍

* Beware of proprietary services mentioned on this video. They might be an alternative and so has been mentioned, but in the long term they will not be good for you. e.g. Dailymotion, BitChute (it uses open source WebTorrent technology, but itself is not Free or open source).

Designed a logo for the incredibly feature-rich FOSS text editor: CudaText

Modern logos tend to be simple and flat without any 3d aspect to it. ... The symbol in the logo kind of looks like an angle bracket (<) we use on code (esp. HTML) when looked from a distance. And when you look close, you get an idea that it's actually a "C", which is for CudaText.

I've posted this on the project's forum. Let's see what everyone thinks.
