  • That quote is the second sentence in the abstract and the next sentence is:

    However, the impact of ketogenic diets (KDs), which contain even higher lipid content but reduce circulating insulin and induce ketogenesis, remains poorly understood.

    I read that as saying existing science says high-fat diets that cause you to become obese increase the risk of cancer in the small intestine. Not anything about their findings in this study specifically.

    The end of the abstract says:

    These findings reveal that dietary lipid content, through fatty acid oxidation rather than ketone metabolism, influences intestinal tumorigenesis and highlight the need for nuanced consideration of dietary strategies for cancer prevention in genetically susceptible populations.

    Which I think is implying that they found some difference between their “high-fat” (60% lard diet) and “ketogenic” (80% lard diet) cohorts.

    I can’t find the full content of the paper to verify exactly what they’re trying to say, but I think the only claims they’re trying to make are basically, ‘there’s no point in consuming externally synthesized ketones’. Which, yeah, but good to have proper scientific confirmation.



  • Ditto all of this.

    There are no good decently priced domain registrars at the moment. Even porkbun is just a cloudflare reseller now. The only downside of going with cloudflare is that don’t let you use your own nameservers (at least that was true the last time I checked a few years ago), but if you don’t already know that you want that, you probably don’t need it.





  • I just pulled my Bangle.js 2 back out to play with making a better reminder system for myself. It works better than any of the other open source watches I’ve had with my GrapheneOS phone. The hardware isn’t open source as far as I know, but their mobile app (fork of gadget bridge) is, as are all the apps that run on the watch, and (I think?) the watch OS.


  • Check your state or country’s laws, you might not even need the contract amended. In the state that I live in any contract clause that tries to prevent you from doing any work entirely on your own time with entirely your own materials is explicitly unenforceable.

    Plus if it’s just a small open source library (assuming your employer is sane) it’d be a waste of money for them to even ask a lawyer to write a letter to you, because why would anyone care.

    If you really care about getting it right, you can find a local employment attorney and have them explain your local laws and edit and/or negotiate your contract for you. I did that once, but I felt like it was probably a waste of the $900 I paid. (I mean, it definitely was a waste in that case because that job was a nightmare and it only lasted 2 months, lol.)
