  • There are bio-accumulative toxins that really do get stuck in your body. Lead is a good example. Not that the supposed cures being peddled by these people can actually do anything about those.

    Also, for the normal kind of toxin, the biggest factor keeping the levels in your body high is continued intake. Reducing that totally makes sense. However, you need to first have a real, based on science, understanding of what those toxins are in the first place and not just randomly blame junk food or 5G radiation, and it needs to be a permanent life style change. A two week “cleanse” does nothing. A juice will not detoxify you. (Depending on the juice, especially how filtered and how sugary it is, it may be healthy for other reasons. Standard orange juice is not, it’s way too sugary.)



  • To me, the whole BCacheFS thing feels like ReiserFS all over again. Including the borderline insane, self-proclaimed genius lead developer with an out-of-control ego, the massive over-presentation of how important this filesystem, or even filesystems in general are to Linux as a whole, the complete refusal to work within established structures, both in terms of process and in terms architectural structures in the software or to even have a mature discussion about how these ought to be like, and even the ludicrous claims about how Linux will be hopelessly outcompeted if it doesn’t put his genius front-and-center before anything else.

    At least Overstreet has not murdered anybody.

    There’s also the whole selective perception about software stability. You cannot claim at one point that your fs is completely ready for production use, everyone saying otherwise is a hater, and marking the thing as experimental in the config is basically slander against your person, and then shortly later demand that Linux merge some particularly complex and hard to review several-thousand lines patch in a minor bugfix release because your users could experience horrible data loss otherwise. Those are two things that cannot be true at the same time.

    Note, filesystems really are hugely important to an OS like Linux. Even so, both Reiser and Overstreet managed to overstate that to an outright comical degree.

    Finally someone who sees things the way I do. I always hated it when after sports/p.e. my classmates would add the smell of cheap deodorant to the smell of their sweat. The sweat smell on its own would have been less offensive. (Provided it was relatively fresh sweat. But even in the case of days old rancid sweat, nothing can really take the place of plain old washing yourself.)
