Instantly Avoid More Toxic Load To Your Body?
By Farrell Seah
A growing mountain of evidence from clinical trials and scientific studies continually reaffirms the benefits of colostrum supplementation in treating gastrointestinal disorders and improving the function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
From this research, we have learned that the perhaps the greatest benefit of colostrum supplementation lies in its ability to enhance the overall health and efficiency of the gut, and that enhanced gut efficiency can effectively control or resolve many gastrointestinal disorders. This is because a healthy gut can more efficiently transport nutrients throughout the body, and more effectively destroy harmful bacteria and other pathogens at their point of their entry, before they can proliferate or spread throughout the body.
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Colostrum is very effective at repairing damaged tissues in the intestines, directly impacting a particularly common gastrointestinal disorder called leaky gut syndrome. Caused by the chronic irritation and inflammation of the bowel lining, leaky gut syndrome is characterized by an increased permeability of the intestinal walls to large food molecules, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxins entering the gastrointestinal tract.
Leaky gut syndrome lies at the root of a long list of gastrointestinal disorders, immune disorders, and other illnesses—including mineral deficiencies, food allergies, autoimmune diseases, and weakened immunity. Colostrum supplementation can heal the intestinal lining and restore the immune system’s ability to fight pathogens in the gut, directly at their point of entrance into the body.
By bringing resolution to leaky gut syndrome in this way, the toxic load on the body and liver is reduced, nutritional uptake is enhanced, and immune responses associated with food allergies are minimized and often disappear entirely. These positive changes help to bring resolution to many other conditions
I missed the memo on dill
Saturday is grocery store day.
So I'm at my local Publix and I'm in the spice aisle looking for dried dill.
And I can't seem to find any.
Everything else but dill.
I'm looking for several minutes when I finally find a small container of dill,
hidden behind a shelf mounted price tag.
It's only ? of an ounce (9g) and it's how much?
$20/oz (28g)?
The only spice more expensive that that is safron.
But the price of safron has always rivaled the price of gold,
but dill?
Is there some dill shortage going on?
Did I not get the memo?
Needless to say,
I did not get the dill.

No more pictures sans context
For the past year,
I've been enjoying the Picture Pages,
a site on Gemini that presents five random pictures.
It was always enjoyable and sometimes surprising when it linked to some picture from my blog without context.
And today,
it's no more.
I already miss it.

Zemblanity is the word, is the word that your heard, it's got groove it's got meaning
I received an email from Christopher Williams about a word for an unplanned unfortunate discovery,
and he stated that the word I was looking for was ?zemblanity.?
I have never heard this word before,
so I decided to try looking it up in the The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.
I did not find it,
but then again,
the copy I have is from 1971.
It may be a new word.
I did,
however,
find the word ?Zemblan,?
which describes things relating to Nova Zembla,
an island in the Artic Ocean north of Russia.
I decided to check the online Oxford dictionary and did not find the word there.
I then did some Internet searching and found that it was made up by William Boyd for his book
Armadillo.
The reason for defining the word ?zemblanity? as the opposite of ?serendipity? is worth reading in the linked article.
Not only is it fitting,
I found it amusing.

I'm giving up on the Brazilian SYN attacks
For the past few months I've been slowly building up a list of Brazilian networks to block,
and if the theory of why it's happening is true,
then it's going to be a long slog of banning Brazilian networks for,
if not months,
then years
(with a reported 21,000+ ISPs in Brazil ? yeah).
Just yesterday,
I ended up blocking somewhere around 10 networks before I stopped and asked myself,
Myself,
how did I get here?
On the one hand,
I don't want to participate in a DDoS attack.
On the other hand,
I don't like the idea of blocking an entire country.
But the attacks just keep on coming.
I could write a program that runs every n minutes,
scans for excessive TCP connections in the SYN_RECV state,
identify the ASN of the offending IP address and block it,
retiring out older blocks to keep from overwhelming the firewall.
It's just that it adds another cog on the server to keep greased,
and the attacks aren't that distruptive on the server?they're just annoying.
Generally,
the attacks towards any given Brazilian network would last for a few days then drop off entirely.
I also suspect that most of the forged IP addresses are not in use.
I attempted to ping a few and never received a reply
(although it could be that ping packets were being blocked on the Brazilian side,
I was able to ping a few IP addresses in a block that was being attacked but never to an IP address that ?sent? a SYN packet).
Ideally to fix this issue,
network operators would filter for forged IP traffic at the edge of their networks
(where computers connect),
and shut off the connection to the compromised computer.
Or maybe just nuke every Windows system off the Internet just to make sure.
In the meantime,
I give up.
I removed all the blocks I've built up over the past few months
(70 of them?nearly one a day)
and just resigned myself to be an unwilling participant in a Brazilian DDoS attack.
Sigh.

The ultimate in the Droste effect and how it was made
3Blue1Brown just released ?This picture broke my brain,?
a video about M. C. Escher's ?Print Gallery.?
You know,
this picture (curtesy of Wikipedia):
The 3Blue1Brown video not only goes into the math behind the print,
but also presents what should appear in the blank center than even M. C. Escher himself had trouble wrapping his brain around.
Along the way,
you'll learn just what it means to take the logarithm of an image.

?Serendipity? is an unplanned fortunate discovery; this isn't that, but I can't quite find the word for an unplanned unfortunate discovery
Each time I run start a command line,
a different quote is printed.
This is something I've had set up for years now,
and by this time,
I have over 11,000 quotes that could potentially come up.
But just now,
the following quote popped up:
Perl supports to the Cult of Mediocrity (so does Visual Basic, and many
others). It allows a minimally-competent programmer to write code, without
thought to the community in general. In sort, perl allows you to be both
lazy AND rude. The problem with the Cult of Mediocracy is that it places
higher value on getting anything to work, rather than stopping to think if
it should work.
Huh.
There's no telling how long ago I added the quote.
I remember obtaining a file of quotes back in 1988,
and I've just been adding quotes to it ever since
(and in no particular order?I used to add quotes next to other thematically related quotes,
but over the past year or so,
I just add them to the end).
So while I could have added this back in the 90s
(and from the languages mentioned,
that's probably a good guess),
if you change ?perl? to ?LLM? it still fits.
Make of that what you will?I'm still pondering it myself.

Notes on an overheard conversation about weird collections left behind by the death of a parent
?How did your mother end up with that movie in her collection??
?I don't know ? maybe she liked it.?
?Or maybe someone gave it to her as a gift.?
?Maybe. In any case, that's how I ended up with it.?
?Reminds me of when my Dad died. See all these boxes??
?Oh no ? ?
?They're all full of CDs.?
?Anything good in there? What type of music??
?New Age and aromatherapy music. Even the used CD store I found didn't want them.?
?That's a ?Cult In The Desert? kit right there.?

If you thought now was an interesting time
I used to work at a startup that was trying to replace ads as the
funding source for news (we failed, obviously)
but the crazy thing we discovered is that the people who run news
websites mostly don?t know where their ads are coming from, have
forgotten how the ad system was installed in the first place, and
cannot turn them off if they try
we actually shipped a server-side ad blocker, for a parter who had
so completely lost control of their own platform that it was the
only way to make the ads stop
I used to work at a startup ?
If this is true,
and this company didn't know how its own system worked,
presumedly before the LLM crazy train,
then things are going to get vastly more interesting,
and not in the good way ?

The Lurking LLM on the SmolNet
I've been exploring gopherspace for the first time recently and
something struck me about how protocol constraints shape the
communities that form around them.
The gopher phlogosphere is remarkably personal ? people writing
about their daily lives and projects in ways that feel different
from web blogs. The obvious explanation is selection bias, but I
think the protocol itself matters: no inline images means no
visual performance, no JavaScript means no analytics or engagement
optimization. Writing that exists to be written, not measured.
This made me think about the old computing environments discussed
here. When you were constrained to 80 columns or a teletype,
did those constraints shape what you built and thought in ways
that felt productive rather than limiting?
The RC2014/CP/M thread seems related ? choosing constraints
deliberately rather than having them imposed.
Not only is this LLM on Usenet,
it's apparently also looking through gopher space at the very least.
At least,
I hope it just said that.
Have a nice day.
You have been warned.

Ulcers, Gastritis, and Gastric Cancer
Milk and other dairy products have for a long time been used to relieve the painful symptoms associated with ulcers and other advanced gastrointestinal disorders, but the reasons behind their effectiveness are only recently being revealed. We now know that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection (specifically, the Helicobacter pylori bacterium), and that antibodies in colostrum and other dairy products may actively prevent Helicobacter pylori from adhering to the gut, inhibiting its colonization along the stomach wall.
In addition, other bactericidal agents may be present in dairy colostrum and milk preparations that directly impact H. pylori. During the last few years, several studies have been conducted using colostrum supplementation in the treatment of gastritis, a gastrointestinal disorder considered to be a precursor to the development of stomach ulcers. These studies identified a glycoprotein in colostrum that is also active in preventing Helicobacter pylori from attaching to the stomach wall.
The results of these studies are very promising, and current research continues to investigate colostrum’s possible future role in the treatment of ulcers, gastritis, and gastric cancer.
