I just read something where someone claimed that "Live probiotics in food work better than probiotics in pills"

This comes from a misunderstanding of how probiotics work.

Given the same dosing of probiotics and the same strains, the effect will be the same, but often the fermented foods that come have probiotics also have prebiotics.

Prebiotics, mainly in the form of digestible fiber, create a healthy environment for those probiotics to live- that is what makes them more effective.

When the COVID thing started, I got back into a lot of very bad habits, fueled by easy to store carbs- gained a ton of weight.

This week I decided to go back to keto, where I'd lost a lot of weight and more importantly, had a ton of energy, but that transition sucks.

Not sleeping enough, needing to pee during the night, muscle soreness. The transition from SAD to Keto is not fun, but I look forward to all the benefits I used to have.

Dear Germans,

Do you drink this? If so, do you like it?

Rarely in my experience is "Thanks for the offer" about actually being thankful for the offer.

I'm back on the keto train, day 2... my tummy is not happy...

Next perhaps Nextcloud can get a collaborative whiteboard with the same ease as sharing documents.

Perhaps there is some future for Nextcloud and Spacedeck?

Very excited to try the new High Performance Backend to #nextcloud talk. This has been probably the biggest problem with my recommending Nextcloud- that the Talk backend just doesn't work beyond a few people at once.

Very excited to read this:
