  • I had been looking for a reddit alternative for some time, but nothing I found was both active enough and not a receptacle for all the shitheads who were too reactionary for reddit. When the API fiasco happened, it seemed like there was an opportunity for federated link aggregators to be that. So far, it seems like that has been true. I was also attracted to the open source nature of the thing.





  • It’s easier to use your will power to not buy snacks at the grocery store than it is to not eat them once they are at your home.

    Track your calories. Eventually you get skilled enough at it that you don’t necessarily have to journal everything to have a good idea of how many calories you are taking in. If you can eat the same things day after day without getting bored, that helps a lot.

    Learn to cook well. Chicken breast doesn’t have to be dry and bad. Veggies can be dressed up and made tasty without adding too many calories.

    Sugar snap peas are a tasty, crunchy snack and you can eat a lot of them without blowing out your daily calorie limit.

    If you drink alcohol, stop, at least mostly. Even a shot of vodka with no mix is ~60 calories. In fact, try not to drink calories in general.
