  • Do your policy enforcement at the port level, connect the printer with a physical cable, that way even if the printer gets compromised and changes it’s Mac your rules still apply.

    Also setup your network alert system to notify you when a a new driver is available and the printer is behind so you can manually apply security updates.

    1 is fine from the port level

    2 is great, but more brittle

    2.5 only allow incoming connections to the vlan on printer ports, and outgoing mdns

    Depending on your threat model, you might need 3, if the printer is malicious, and printer drivers are also malicious, they can proxy information from the printer through a client device to the internet.

    That is a very common myth. the rise in modern heart disease is directly proportional to the rise in low fat diets and insulin resistance.

    Humans are lipovores, we are fat burning machines, that is why we store the vast majority of our energy as fat. real saturated fat is healthy

    No, it’s just a reflection of how our diets have changed over time. When fatty liver disease was first being categorized. It only happened in alcoholics. So fatty liver disease meant The patient was an alcoholic. However, now with high glucose-driving diets, elevated insulin levels, the vast majority of fatty liver disease patients don’t drink alcohol…

    So we have this awkward naming scheme because our diets have changed faster then our language

    Persistently elevated insulin from high glucose driving diets.

    Even “healthy” people end up putting glucose food into their mouths 8 or more times per day. Insulin inhibits the body from mobilizing fat, and the liver builds up fat stores it cant get rid of.

    The fastest way to resolve fatty liver is to stop eating food that elevates blood glucose - i.e. carbohydrates.




  • In my production systems, and in my home systems, and in my gaming computers, I turn swap off. There’s no good reason to wear out disc writes. In production systems, I’d rather have something fail hard, then get slower and slower and slower falling behind.

    Quite frankly, there’s no good reason to have swap on anymore, memory is huge. Most programs don’t need as much as they use. You can set memory pressure in systemd, telling programs to reduce their usage, and giving them individual hard cutoffs, so something like Prometheus can’t take down your whole system just because it’s got a memory leak.






  • Yeah the literature coming out on the metabolic brain connection, and improving metabolism resolving psychiatric disorders can’t be ignored.

    Given we are in a metabolic health crisis that is only trending up, it’d reasonable to speculate it has had a impact on larger mental health trends since the metabolic health collapse started.

    I.e. 96% of western adults have impaired metabolic health.
