I am able to access it pretty consistently on interstellar and the web, but it is so slow it is not really a decent experience.

For me, connecting from the U.S., takes around 5 – 15mins, but I can barely vote on anything.

I remember there is a post stating that LemmyNSFW is eating up the VPS resource, and the provider throttled the VPS, which also include FediNSFW. My guess is that after LemmyNSFW is down, people are eagar to backup that instance, which created an absurd amount of traffic.

The recommended protien requirement is around .8g per day per kg of body weight, and double that is enough if you work out (you can go even lower to around 1.2g per kg, while still seeing significant gains), everthing above that get diminishing returns:

• https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8978023/

Assuming you weight 80kg, then you will need only around 96g – 128g of protien per day, and everything above 160g will likely be a waste and they can even cause digestive problem for me.

One pack of super firm tofu https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/high-protein-organic-tofu-083089 or 500g of falafel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falafel#Nutrition provides around 70g of protien. Plus many daily food like grain, beans also provide a good amount of protien: https://www.nal.usda.gov/sites/default/files/page-files/Protein.pdf For example:

• one cup of all purpose flower gives you 12g of protien
• one cup of pasta, again, 12g
• one cup of long grain rice, 13g
• a bagel provides 10g of protien.

So I feel it is pretty trivial for me to reach the required protien in take if I just add some tofu and plant-based meat in my diet, and perhaps most importantly, eat 3 meals a day. If anything, I need to sometimes scale down a bit in protien intake, since it is very easy to go over board and cause problem in digestion.

For me, most of the high protien source are tofu, gluten, and plant-based meat. I also mainly eat mix grains, and add chickpeas in my rice.

What about when you hang out outside on a weekend, then that is easily two meals outside.

Do you not hang out outside that long or do you go home for lunch and go back out?

The deal-breaker for my for blorp is that every action induces a pretty strong haptic feedback. I definitely will wake my wife up browsing fedi on the weekend.

I have since switched to interstellar.

For additional reference, boiling a liter of water takes just shy of 100Wh (not counting heat absorbed by kettles or heat distributed into the air): https://www.quora.com/How-many-watts-do-I-need-to-heat-1-liter-of-water

As far as I know it is still much more expensive compare to alternatives like grammar checker and web search. Especially give that model already searches the web on its own in many queries.

Just because inference is more efficient than an training, which consumes energy on the scale of nation states, doesn’t mean inference itself is econonical.

I used ddg and startpage, they are both great. Although I slightly perfer ddg, but stays with startpage because it is european.

I also turn on ads to support them. However, now I have more money but less time to scroll pass all these ads, I switched to kagi, which is ad-free and fast. The price is not cheap and they are not based in Europe (they are registered in the U.S. with employees all over the world, which is technically better than U.S. centric ddg), however there is no alternatives that I am aware of.

Piefed has much better blocking than lemmy. For lemmy people/instance you blocked can still see, comment, and vote on your comment and post, you just cannot see it. When I was on lemmy, I need to find a instance that completely defedrates from tankie instances like ml.

For PieFed, the blocking is two ways, effectively defederate from them yourself.

That is one of the reason I switched to piefed. The other reason is that I donate to the project I use, and I don’t want to support tankies financially.

I think lemmynsfw is one of tge largest lemmy instance.

Remind me of #asstodon which of course is for posting donkeys on the fediverse.

Not until they sue fedex

I never talked to my parent about this, but I imagine way better. My dad is one of the earlier master degree holder in China. He got his PhD much later; I believe around his 40s.

At my age, my dad is an entry level doctor and my mom an entry level nurse. They live in a room of 10 square meter assigned by the hospital they work in.

I am at the end of my 20s and is an assistant professor; a very busy job, but nevertheless stable, which is an excellent perk in this economy. The pay is not bad (not as much as industry though) and the work is really fulfilling. The only unfortunate part is that I almost always need to work overtime. It is not uncommon for me to work from waking up to going to bed, if not working into midnight.

Yeah, I have seen the animal bleed out once, and it is hard to watch.

A small and young lamb is all tied up laying on the ground with the carotid severed. It is clearly in fear and tries very hard to get away. That struggle lasted for a long time until it eventually is exhausted and died.

I am not sure if this is how halal and kosher meat are produced though.
