  • It"s my dogs who are usually mouse-breath though. I mean, cats kill with their paws, and dogs get rid of the body with their black holes. Mouse breath is Hawking radiation. Also Biblically accurate mouse vomit.

  • Whoa, FreeDNS is a killer, I wish I knew about it before! I have domains to donate probably (unless they expired lol). I sure need to try that.

  • Yeah, using VPS to route traffic is an obvious solution, I'm thinking about it as the last resort here.

  • So how does this work then, I host DNS and it pushes my data to other DNS servers around the net every time my IP address changes? Can you share an example of how could be set up?

  • Why, my cats were making boxhome at carrier boxes when they were certainly not about to be used.

    Then a carrier box broke on a train station and I fished my puffed ball from under the train shock dampfer 1 min before departure and I don't have those carrier boxes anymore

  • yeah, the whole point was to make fun of web2 development as it went. Now he has web3 logins too, which are way more awkward than anything before, but, like, work with as few 3rd parties as possible.

    The regular login is just password that fetches creds stored in local storage without any cookies. Most of time one wouldn't even notice it, and as secure as CORS/HTTPS (which would screw you if not working properly anyway). Kind of shows what a pile of data-stealing nonsense this all is.

  • Some dudes with oldstyle websites from web 1.0 times actually keep doing this. A friend of mine has a login with dog chip on his website among dozens of other options.

  • It's their protein source; honey is pretty much carbs-only, good in winter, when they just keep warm, but raising kids on that is not good. Besides, bees are wasps, and wasps are carnivores, they need protein and mostly eat pollen protein in summer if they can. Honeybees eat flesh too, including cannibalism, just less often than plant material - apparently, with organized labor veganism turned out to be more effective, at least for them. No morals behind it, pure business.

  • What? I literally can see them collecting alder pollen in huge quantities, carrying it on their hind legs like cavalry pants and forming into highly nutritional tubes, it's possible to trace them from tree to hive - well, it's not that there is any other pollen source here now anyway. And when I collect honey, quite some amount of this stuff falls down into the tank, not mentioning cross contamination in "pollen is processed at the same facility" honey manufacturing business bees are running. At least that part of the story is certainly true, that gives some basis to disregarding the conclusions of the meta-research you found.

  • Mind you, as far as I understand, bees convert it a bit too, so it might be somewhat slightly less aggressive than just flying particles in the air or sniffing a flower. Kind of "allergic vaccine" if that mechanism works, which, again, I'm not certain about.

  • I guess it's getting a bit easier by the year; but I mean, until it's gone completely, I couldn't really tell. I'm basing my "strategy" on same anecdotic knowledge you mentioned, although I've never seen it proven right or wrong in a methodical research; I don't really care, it's not that if I know it for certain anything will change, I'll just keep living here and eat the stuff.

  • It totally is! I'm allergic to several types of pollen, also I live in the middle of the forest and am a beekeeper. My stomach hurts when I eat that stuff. Nothing of this stops me; I also love Spring. I feel quite sick now, too (well, cold weather came back and it's a bit easier than 2 days ago). Good that I have mild allergy, I'd be dead by now if I had it hard. When birch flowers unusually hard, I sometimes have a symptom that feels like how people describe asthma.

    Maybe some day I'll get desensibilized enough, after eating this stuff regularly. Maybe I'll die trying.

    My neighbor doctor - also a beekeeper - says that many people who perceive honey as slightly spicy actually get allergic reaction from traces of pollen in it. He also thinks my strategy of eating pollen to overcome allergy should eventually work; I think I just like the taste too much to stop.

    The trick with pollen I've discovered is that as soon as it is extracted from the honeycomb, it starts quickly degrading; whenever it's sold, it's bleak tasteless flavorless powder, not even close to explosion of flavor that happens when you chew on a fresh blob right from the honeycomb (usually with the honeycomb, who cares, it's edible too. Almost everything inside the nest is edible, apart form the frames and other human-made nonsense). Apparently you can get the stuff only from an actual beekeeper (or by raiding wild bees nest probably, I think it's not a good idea though), and I only figured it out when I started keeping bees!
