As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn’t immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

tmpod@lemmy.ptMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should Lemmy potentially add an hourly post counter to help users avoid flooding communities?6·13 days agoWhile the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn’t a good solution.
The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I’m not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there’s still some relatively “low hanging fruits” in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).
I say this as someone who’s been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.
This. And to add to what other commenters have said, by using Bitwarden and paying for their Premium plan (very cheap, just $10/year), even if you don’t use all their features, you’re supporting a good project. It’s critical infrastructure, I think the price is more than fair.
Either way, you should always make periodic backups from any cloud service you use, encrypted of course.
Very useful, even for someone who has been using Linux for many years. Sometimes you just forget or need that tool you rarely use.
tldr
can be much handier than parsing a man page when you’re in a pinch.I use the tealdeer implementation, but any is fine really.
tmpod@lemmy.ptto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there any way to un-freeze my device when it freezes, without shutting down and losing my work?51·7 months agoNever knew about prelockd, seems like a pretty neat and useful idea, thanks!
tmpod@lemmy.ptMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?2·10 months agoconduwuit is a fork of the less “energic” conduit.rs software, and both are maintained by the community, not by the Element people, like Dendrite.
Agree, but mad props to the Gentoo people too. Nice community and incredible wiki as well.
tmpod@lemmy.ptMto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•With all the bad stuff happening in the world like politics war racism homophobia etc. What is some good news that isI happening that we don't read or see about?5·10 months agoYeah, I am lucky to live in such a country and it’s amazing. The state and municipality each subsidised part of the purchase, so I ended up paying 300 something euros to install 3.5 kW of panels. My electricity bills are almost non existant during summer and also cheaper during winter. To make it even better, anytime I’m not using the produced electricity, it gets sold to the grid, even if pretty cheap, rebating on my next billing cycle.
Yeah, exactly! I was quite amazed at how fast my French degraded after I stopped having classes.
I’m a native Portuguese speaker, fluent in English and can understand Spanish and French. Despite having had 3 years of French in school, I can no longer speak properly, and my writing is really bad, but I can understand pretty well. Spanish just comes to me because of the similarities with Portuguese, I never formally learned it.
True, it’s been much more slow paced. Thought it was because the videos took much more time to make, wasn’t aware he was quite active on Patreon.
This is a good suggestion. Docker is more mature and has more resources, so it’s better to learn the ins and outs of containers. After getting comfortable with it, you can move to Podman and have a much better time tackling its peculiarities regarding permissions and rootless.
I used Docker for years and only recently decided to give Podman a try, porting my Lemmy instance to it.
Oh really? Was not aware of that at all. Their recent videos about the second Punic Wars were incredible.
How can I make using Arch Linux my personality
That cracked me up x)
Anyway, I’d say it’s good that the OS is out of your way once set it up. Even though I don’t use Arch directly, I like how comprehensive the AUR is (even though there may be repositories more packages, like nix and whatnot), think the ArchWiki (like the GentooWiki) is a very useful resource, even if you use a completely different system.
Very well put, he makes an effort of bringing you along, which is a nice thing for a younger audience. I never stopped liking his relaxed style, though. His videos are one of those things I always reserve some time to enjoy.
Yeah, I suppose. His channel has less than 500k subs, though, so I always like to recommend it :P
I went through my subscription list on FreeTube and filtered these out (the list was much lengthier initially :p)
- Alt Shift X — well detailed and narrated videos about fantasy series such as Dune, ASOIAF.
- Captain Disillusion — very well made videos about VFX.
- Computerphile — computer science twin of Numberphile; neat videos about the field with a wide range of guests.
- EthosLab — pretty much the only Minecraft creator I still watch; witty, quiet and virtually the same for a long time.
- hbomberguy — well known video essayist, easily one of the best in the platform
- Jacob Geller — another quality essayist, exploring different themes, such as horror
- Lemino — very well known creator focusing on mysteries, with incredible narration and stunning visuals
- LockPickingLawyer — very simple, to the point and informative channel about locks and lockpicking; also virtually unchanged for years
- Oversimplified — great overviews of major history events and periods, with funny narration and visuals
- Tantacrul — fairly unknown essayist on music, with well researched material and nice takes :P
- Then & Now — possibly my favorite atm (alongside hbomberguy); extremely well researched and presented video essays about history, politics and philosophy; very underrated imo
Exactly. There were good comments on that thread already.
Sadly “your local email coop” is very far from being common. Sounds like a fun thing for nerds to do, but I doubt normal folks would be interested in that, over just using one of the big players.
Yes! Oh my, I’m silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃
Thank you for the correction!
