More muscles will consume more kcal. You could lose the 1.5kg simply by eating at maintenance and working out over a few months.

I do the same nowadays. FB every other day (or whenever I can) is better than a split you can't make. And the main goal for mr is to live and have fun and my body supports that livestyle. Not the other way round.

Good comment.

It's also dangerous. If you eat too much today and try to offset it tomorrow by starving (overshooting), you're going to hurt your body if it becomes a habit. (A deficit larger than ~500kcal will decrease your muscle mass)

Rest is also important for recovery, if you need it. The fitter you are. The more you can do.

Yes, but that's not going to happen. Proton vendor locks you in the sense that they don't use open standards.

Worthless projects dillute valuable projects.

Imagine there being 100 photo projects like this.

One of them is immich. You are new and have no experience. How would you decide which one to install?

Cooks want to cook alone.

This sounds like a rant from an openai investor that there is someone who offeres his product - which is roughly the same as the author's (financer's) product - for free for anyone who is willing to host it himself.

Open source is good and not a bad business idea. Open weights is better than fully closed source. Share stuff that you can share and work together, not against each other.

Do I praise chinese products? No. But chinese is not worse than american products from an european perspective nowadays.

Why not usb stick?

Iirc, you can't have two distinct sets of bookmarks. My "work" profile has to have the same bookmarks as my "private" one.

 

Images uploaded to immich via the web miss the geo location. Is that a feature or a bug?

Edit: I created an album, created a shared link, and used that link to upload images. It does not uplaod geo location for me. Default settings, including showing metadata.

Somehow I had a database corruption and I did not know how to restore from backup. It was a bad experience until I saw that it worked. Make regular and check your backups.

 

I just wanted to share it. I'm some random guy. It looks good.

  • It supports shake to reset sleep timer!
 

I tried "all" settings. I tried reading the logs and norhing helped. I had many months without issues. How do you guys debug it? The logs aren't too helpful for me and there are too many settings for me to play with. I've got an intel GPU with eirher QSV or VAAPI. Disabling does not work either. CPU is normal, GPU is normal. RAM is not full.

Edit:

  • one drive was failing. SMART showed a dying drive. I replaced it and everything is smooth again. That is why I couldn't find anything within the logs. And until today I didn't know how to read io properly and check for smart status.

Things to watch out for

  • cpu usage
  • gpu usage
  • right gpu tools. Properly passed to container. Properly used by jellyfin.
  • proper transcoding settings with the gpu within jellyfin
  • ram
  • storage of drives
  • io write/read speed
  • jellyfin folders on ssd, media on hdd
  • healt / smart status of drives
  • lan bottleneck
 

Just wanted to share it. I just discovered it. Looks cool

Currently I use firetv stick but I hate the ads. I only use it to launch arte, jellyfin and smarttube so it's OK. But if I would have children it would be very bad because it's filled with shiny trash everywhere. I wouldn't want my kids (or anyone) to see that stuff.

I am looking forward to plasma bigscreen in june but I can't add more value to it right now than donating to kde. Is there something else? I've got a Samsung TV which is on the same level of badness as firetv. It could be worse but it's far from good as well

Currently, I am in a cut. I try not to overeat. Eating enough protein and more than TDEE-500kcal. Sometimes my calorie deficit is larger than 500kcal, especially if I go cycling or hiking. On those days, I simply add another protein rich meal consisting of Tofu and some vegetables, just to get enough calories out of fear to lose muscles. Do I have to do that?

When is an aggressive cut good? Only if you need to get to a certain weight for a competition?

I can not find any primary or reputable source, only blog posts about it.

Edit: this sounds good https://macrofactor.com/cutting-calculator/

With energy deficits smaller than about 500 Calories per day (which would equate to losing about 1 pound or 0.5kg per week), subjects (on average) were able to experience a bit of body recomposition (losing fat, while gaining a little muscle). With deficits larger than 500 Calories per day, subjects tended to lose lean mass, with the rate of lean mass loss increasing as energy deficits grew

Meaning, avoiding an aggressive cut is advisable if you don't have to get below a certain weight

 

Which lifting belt can you recommend (for amateurs) in Germany/Europe?

I've read strengthshop a couple of times but that may have been just ads, so I don't know if I simply pay an ad premium.

Belt A for ~50€ is made out of Amara Synthetic Leather. That should be good, right?

Belt B for 100€ is made from premium synthetic Amara leather. Probably the machine had more room to move around. The belt looks easier to use.

As an amateur, not looking to become a professional, but I still training two times a week, what would you recommend? 50€ is an OK price to pay for a belt I guess, 100 looks a bit expensive.

A: Weightlifting Double Prong Buckle Tapered Belt, Black - 8MM B: Black Lever Belt, 13mm - IPF Approved

 

It's the one-rep max calculation of Flexify. How weak am I? How much progress did I leave on the table for not working out properly? That's what you get if you only fuck around and don't follow a proper program.

It's in kg and I'm in a cut. I really like how strong I became

I posted already in c/art https://lemmy.zip/post/59580730 but I'd love to have an open solution which is why I post it here as well

I'd like to view more art. Where do I find it?

And after finding a nice picture, how can I save it and store it for later? How can I share "my collection"?

Not only digital art but art from 100 years ago but digital. Is there some wikipedia/openstreetmap/listenbrainz/tmdb for art?

Currently, I save the images and post them to my pixelfed profile (privately) with the source link and a title. It works but it is stupid.

I already asked about theater and neodb was an option but I don't think that that you could apply it to art https://lemmy.zip/post/58053680

Do you move your (lower) back back and forth during the exercise?

I find mixed recommendations online. so far, I think it is better to keep the lower back stiff and focus on arms, shoulders and upper back. Also, you don't move the back when doing barbell rows which is the same movement.

For example, jeff nippard moves his back at 6:00 min in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAXkl-AdJFg not as strong as others do, but still.

Here, they keep the back perfectly straight https://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/seated-row.html

In my gym many people (all that I witness) move their back.
