I'M TRYING TO "JUST SAY NO" TO AI
- I will protect private and sensitive information.
- I will verify factual claims before repeating them.
- I will not misrepresent machine output as human expertise or lived experience.
- I will use tools to support people, not to replace care, judgement, or accountability.
- I will keep human craft at the centre where voice, trust, and meaning matter.

rssLost 3lbs. Way too fast. Appetite has been much worse this time around. Body fat and muscle mass stayed about the same. Body age now matches calendar age! And visceral fat has dropped for the first time since I started weighing myself! One more point to go to get to the healthy range.
Weight down 1.4lbs, body fat up, but no change in body age or visceral fat. Did not workout enough last week. Will get on that!
I had forgotten how annoying it was to work with Gentoo. Installing baseline system to run GoToSocial -- SO MUCH COMPILING!
I'm starting to think a lot more about how I can contribute to holding space for folks who are caught adrift amongst the current apocalypse.
more inside...Made a tiny change to the blog to exclude activity noise from the RSS feed. Also upgraded dependencies!
I tried very hard to find my way into the Secure Scuttlebutt world again after a while away, and just could not. I even got started with a fairly interesting looking thing (https://www.tildefriends.net/), but trying to run a local instance ended in much failure. It would run for a while and then inexplicably crash. I'll poke around again later when I have more energy!
Gained a little weight but lost a large amount of body fat. And body age went down!
Maintained weight but gained body fat and lost muscle mass. Gained 2 yrs in body age. Oh well. Will do better next time.
Also.. this was after I ate breakfast which is not a normal weigh-in.
Weight down by 1lb, body fat percentage down, muscle mass percentage up, and body age down by 2 years! My body is almost as young as I am!
Lost 0.8 lbs and gained a tiny bit of muscle mass and lost a tiny bit of body fat.
Gained a pound but lost body fat and gained muscle mass a bit
Weight down but body fat percentage up. I need to eat more protein!
Weight down 0.2lbs, body fat % down 1.5, muscle mass % up 1.1, and body age down to 50! No change in visceral fat.
Gained a pound. I think it’s time for a dosage increase.
Yoga good. Wish I was more motivated consistently!
