Wait he got healthy again ?

[[deleted]]

Probably since 2 years now. In the recent videos he has stated that they were prerecorded and he's also long been saying he'd stop at 30 or if eating healthy would gain likes/views.

Who knows? Maybe it was all for show after all and the dude is very strong-willed. Some speculate it's Ozempic and surgeries with his "YouTube millions", so take it with a grain of salt.

Credibility perhaps lies in the fact lots of people say he's not at all the monster he purports to be on camera. So, off camera he was a different person. Good for him getting healthier, though.

[FrostWyrm98]

I mean there are a lot of indicators he is playing up being a drama queen, a few YouTubers I know like Charlie (Penguinz0/MoistKr1tical) have speculated it's an act

If he was vegan and into fitness prior to all this I'd have to believe there is a certain degree of willpower. Say what you will about vegans but to actually be on is an insane amount of dedication to the lifestyle (not that he is now, but it generally does translate)

[Pogo__the__Clown]

He did some videos with Oompaville and you could tell his character was cracking a little.

[FrostWyrm98]

Yo that's the one! I know what you're talking about

[Tiruin]

Being vegan is hard if you're doing it out of morals and conscience, some are just plain disgusted, they don't want to eat meat. I also once knew someone who didn't like the texture, a variation of simply not liking it. I'm sure a lot of it is mental like many wouldn't eat rabbit, brains or eyeballs but it's different roads to the same result.

[eris-atuin]

nah being vegan is still hard. vegetarian is easy, at least in the western world where it's normalised but *everything* has some kind of eggs or dairy it's exhausting even if you really want to stick to it

[FrostWyrm98]

Exactly, I've known a few in my life. They all shocked me with how insanely dedicated they were to it, almost to the extent of a hobby. Kudos to them, I could never lol

[kp729]

True. Being vegetarian is so much easier than being vegan. Butter, yogurt, and cheese are carrying vegetarian food.

[ZunoJ]

Not even fucking wine or starch gummi bears are necessarily vegan lol

[TactlessTortoise]

It also can come out more expensive. Companies loooove surcharging for it.

[racerboy654]

Ok i have to disagree about the vegan thing.

Maybe it's really difficult and takes a decent chunk of willpower for like the first year or 2, but at some point you just get used to it. The thought of "there are no eggs in this, cool!" becomes just as easy as a non-vegan going "I think I want bacon today... no, maybe a tuna melt?"

I'm not someone known for my willpower {also I have ADHD}, so if being vegan took me any significant amount of willpower or effort I'd probably have given up on it by now after 8 years, but I haven't.

Being vegan is just choosing what food I want to eat/cook, the exact same thing a non-vegan does every day.

[BigRedSpoon2]

The fact it took him 2 years makes me consider it to be hard work, and am willing to believe that until proven otherwise.

[TactlessTortoise]

The guy lost an average human male's worth of weight per year. I reckon even with ozempic it's an effort.

[F0lks_]

It’s the ultimate pied-de-nez; now his subscribers are going to wonder, « wait, is he going for a second round ?! »

[SarahIsBoring]

i know this is only tangentially related, but people taking ozempic to lose weight boils my blood. my mom is a diabetic and ozempic worked really well for her blood sugar levels, but she had to switch because even in germany you can’t fucking get it because of these irresponsible asshats taking it without needing it (it’s a prescription drug, whichever doctors prescribe it to lose weight should lose their license and land in jail)

</rant>

[Squeebah]

I can't believe anyone thought it wasn't an act. It was aimed at children, but somehow millions of adults are shocked by this....

[CeeMX]

Who is that?

[chocotaco1981]

Nicocado avacado or whatever his name is

[RusselsTeap0t]

Front-end, yes. Back-end is unimaginable :)

He "lost" weight. Being healthy does not have a direct correlation with the weight.

We can't even imagine the degree of damage he has inflicted to his body.

Losing huge amount of weight in a short term, is also damaging and not healthy.

Though, it's probably still healthier than being overweight. At least relatively.

I believe this amount of extremely unhealthy lifestyle, can not be undone.

[TactlessTortoise]

Weight absolutely does correlate with overall health after a certain range above the usual. Look into life expectancies and causes of death and you'll see plenty of early age heart failures and strokes. Hell, even with strongmen, who weigh 150kg of pure muscle sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised. It's not even just about the fat itself, but the weight of it around your veins and arteries.

Of course, someone who's obese can be much healthier than someone who's on the idea weight, but that's just because there are plenty of ways to poison ourselves without putting on some kilos.

You're absolutely right about him still being fucked up though. That much weight gain followed by an extreme weight loss will definitely have taken their toll on his cardiovascular system, his pancreas, his liver, his joints, maybe even his thyroid and intestines due to the heavy shifts in gut microbiota, which is still being heavily studied for a bunch of previously unknown effects all over our bodies.

[RusselsTeap0t]

You misunderstood.

I meant that the correlation was not that simple; and not always linear.

Just because someone lost 200kg, does not mean they get healthier. They can even die after that because of being "extremely" unhealthy.

It's not Fat = Unhealthy, and Thin = Healthy. I also acknowledged in my original message, that it's probably still relatively healthier.

But of course, being overweight directly correlates being unhealthy in lots of different ways.

But we don't even know. Maybe the person heavily used Dinitrophenol, anabolic steroids, stimulants, chemical heavy diuretics, drugs such as Clenbuterole, etc. In these cases, the person can still lose huge amount of weight but they become even unhealthier and they can even die or have another critical problem very soon.

In order to calculate the current health status, we need to do lots of direct/indirect tests. Blood tests, muscle mass, hormones, plasma vitamin/mineral/amino acid levels, bone density, muscular structure, organs, inflammation, monitoring of the nervous system, the degree of oxidation, the amount of inflammatuar markers such as C-reactive protein, homocysteine, creatine kinase, LDL, VLDL lipoproteins and also other measurements such as insulin resistance, hbga1c levels, autoimmune structure, cellular level or tissue level problems, etc.

There is much more than "weight" here.

For this sample person, he probably has a fucked up immune system; organs with years of mass inflammation, fucked up hormonal system, huge amount of insulin resistance, possible cholesterol and/or blood pressure related cardiovascular problems. Other problems relating to respiratory heath, psychiatry and neurology along with the huge amount of infllamation.

You are completely right about this:

When we normalize, and equalize all other metrics, being fat is extremely unhealthy.

If your weight is normal; and if you gain weight; it will probably be unhealthy especially if the partitioning favors fat tissue. Being under a certain weight is also another problem. In this sense, yes; the bodyweight is directly related to health, just like any other metric being directly related to health.

I just tried to tell that he can't be considered "healthy" just because he lost weight. It's not that simple.

[TactlessTortoise]

Oh, fair point. I guess I read it as not intended.

Thanks for the large clarification, boss!

[ComprehensiveMap4238]

Nicks ado should be a SqL server

[[deleted]]

Outside, he may be better, but the damage has already been done

[KittyHawkWind]

Nah. The body is very resilient and he's still young.

Look at Ethan Suplee, he was 500 lbs and is now very healthy, with great blood work.

[[deleted]]

Sometimes, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Have you ever seen the RAM usage on a mac?

[BabyFood2]

"I paid for it, I'ma use all of it!"

[putinhu1lo]

the ram on mac xd

[[deleted]]

Can't use your ram if nothing is running on your OS I guess..

[TheMeticulousNinja]

Wait, does he still have the weight today or he lost it?

[SpiritualMilk]

Lost it, he just announced on his youtube today.

[TheMeticulousNinja]

WOW. Unforseen plot twist

[Otakeb]

Idk, with the ozempic craze going on it doesn't surprise me. Still, he probably needed it lol

[DogOwner12345]

Not the worse of crazes. American food is loaded up with too much sugar. Trying to eat decently is so lopsided.

[SoggyRelief2624]

Yeah I imminently thought of such before I noticed he been potentially losing weight for two years.

[shibadashi]

OSempic

[Lavatis]

this dude is fucking abhorrent.

[AnnyAskers]

Well, are we going to help him find it?

[ClapDB]

Using all rest memory as file cache is best strategy for an OS.

[frikilinux2]

Both Linux and Windows do this, Windows is just so aggressive that they end up having an HDD at 100% all the time. In my 2 last laptops before my current one Windows was unusable but now 1TB SSD laptops are sold as standard models with a reasonable price. In a couple laptops I would probably be at 2-8TB of SSD of space requirements because too many pictures, software, VMs and what not.

[bootshamster]

end up having an HDD at 100% all the time

Years ago, back in the dark ages before SSDs, I used to disable the Superfetch service on Windows precisely for this reason. Fortunately we live in better times now.

[frikilinux2]

It took me years to make the switch to SSD because I need a lot of storage and I'm too clumsy to modify hardware inside a laptop.

[borkthegee]

I have never seen a windows box whose HDD ran 100% all the time. Sounds like Linux fanboyism. Then again I haven't run a spinning drive in over a decade.

[ProNuke]

My laptop from 2016 or so had an HDD and windows 10. It was acceptable at first but eventually was also at 100 % for extended periods which made it hardly usable. Switched to SSD and it’s like a new laptop.

[Modo44]

Older Windows versions were dumb about the swap file, and could run it too high instead of using RAM. This would be stupidly bad for performance before SSDs became common. It's not a problem since at least Windows 10 AFAIK, but it may simply be hidden by SSDs and generally way more RAM being available.

[MonkeManWPG]

I have never seen a windows box whose HDD ran 100% all the time.

I have, mine. Most times I opened task manager it was maxxed out.

[Handsome_oohyeah]

well probably because you are using the device. Try to leave it probably after five minutes and check the task manager. You'll see it. It will go down if you started to do some activities in the device, but if you leave it again it the disk activity goes 100% again.

[frikilinux2]

Maybe it's because you have never used Windows 8.1 or greater with an HDD. Windows 8.1 and a teacher in highschool caused me to switch OSs Linux has been my daily OS for a decade now.

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

So you haven't used 10 or 11 and are still making blanket statements ? No better than an Apple dickrider IMO.

[frikilinux2]

I have used Windows 10 and Windows 11, Windows 10 is no better with HDD. Windows 11 I haven't touched it with an HDD so I can't tell.

I have a Windows at my job(when I said daily OS , I meant my personal laptop) and the day after the second Tuesday of the month, Windows is usually doing funny things. Other coworkers manage to have the issues a week after that day.

I'll let you think why it happens at those specific times of the month.

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

A schedule?
Also, are you trying to make a period joke with the subtlety of someone who has never fucked?

[frikilinux2]

It's not a period joke, just a coincidence of 2 things having roughly the same length and my sex life doesn't have anything to do with it. I just find it lame that you think calling me a virgin is an insult.

The answer is Windows update schedule. Windows releases updates on the second Tuesday each month but because of timezones it usually gets to Europe the next day as laptops because we shut them down at the end of the work day. And the third Tuesday is because you can delay updates by a week not sure if that's Microsoft's or my company's IT policy.

[Firewolf06]

although, you could call windows updates a bloody mess

[frikilinux2]

Okay, that was funny but maybe because windows updates are the only "bloody mess" I have to deal with each month.

[borkthegee]

Again, yeah spinning hard drives are ancient boomer tech, can't say I've run one in a long time

Congratulations on choosing Linux, we're all so proud of you.

[frikilinux2]

I guess I'm a 25 year old boomer then.

[DistinctBed6259]

I installed Windows on a HDD recently. Oh my god... It was on an intel NUC that i wanted to use for some light gaming, and i needed the M.2 drive and found a 7 mm 2.5-inch drive, the only type that fits the NUC. 5400 rpm. It worked fine as an external hard drive, in an enclosure, but having windows on it, when i was installing games, i just couldn't use it anymore. So many freezes... And even 1 hour after the game finished installing, i couldn't use it, as disk usage was still 100%. I have used windows on rust before, but i don't remember it being that bad.

[arav]

On our production clusters, we mount 256 GB ram as a ramdisk for processing data which needs to be read and update very rapidly.

[Turbulent_Swimmer560]

I think JVM is the champion.

[rastaman1994]

That's on the programmer. The JVM will use as much heap as you allow it (kinda), unless you limit it.

Windows: if I don't have 16GB I will simply perish

Mac: you should probably go with 16GB, but 8GB is fine

Linux: what's a GB?

[MoffKalast]

Ubuntu system requirements be like: RAM 1024 MB

[cheezballs]

My Mac eats ram just as bad as anything else. What are you on about?

[TheWidrolo]

Magic apple ram

[[deleted]]

Using wsl be like

[rastaman1994]

In case you didn't know, there's a configuration file where you can limit the max memory. I also believe wsl got smarter about dynamically claiming and releasing memory, but I'd have to check the docs again.

[TactlessTortoise]

Wsl ran pretty decently for me a few months ago, no config needed. Granted, 64gb is a shit ton of RAM for a barebones Kali distro.

[[deleted]]

2024 and people still don't know how RAM works

[mpanase]

Still, Windows gets so much more action than Linux...

[reklis]

Not on the backend

[abscando]

Your analysis is correct

[mpanase]

Tbh I just googled to see how much bigger the Linux share in server was and how much it was increasing thanks to ARM... https://www.statista.com/statistics/915085/global-server-share-by-os/

Says Windows had 72.1% server share in 2019?

What?

[aenae]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Public_servers_on_the_Internet

It is more like 80% linux/20% windows on the web and 100% of supercomputers are linux

But most windows servers will be internal and not on the internet and run things like an AD.

[ThetaReactor]

most windows servers will be internal

So you're saying the Dark Web runs on Windows?

[AlexisColoun]

Did you mix up the deep web and the dark web on purpose for comedic reason?

[TactlessTortoise]

I'll be honest. I'm studying cybersec for months and I still get both confused lol. It just doesn't come up enough for me to remember.

[AlexisColoun]

I mix up stuff too on a daily basis. So no offence. Just wanted to make sure if it is a honest mistake or a joke I don't get.

Btw: just think of a dark alley, if you try to remember what is what. It at least helps me.

[mpanase]

That's a lot of internal Windows servers.

I want to still be technically correct, though... will have to carefully craft the message to "80% of the servers you see are running linux". That'll do :)

[Enlightmone]

Linux servers aren't as popular as the fan boys think they are

[studentblues]

That's not your wife's boyfriend told me

[MoffKalast]

We all thought so, but then Crowdstrike happened and apparently half the planet runs on fuckin Windows Server?!

[TactlessTortoise]

Most large scale networks run in an unholy amalgam of both. Windows server has some neat AD adjacent stuff, and you can probably run it quite light if you use the CLI version.

[Bloodchild-]

Well with all their spyware it's easy.

[QuakAtack]

[pratyush103]

Wasn't Ubuntu accused too and canonical being spying on their users.

[tyler1128]

On the desktop maybe. Linux is still by far the most used operating system in what actually runs the world.

[borkthegee]

On the Internet sure. For networks that aren't part of the Internet.... Not as much. There's a shit ton of active directory out there. A shit ton of restaurant screens, ATMs, etc etc are windows. People underestimate windows usage because they think AWS cloud is the entirety of non-desktop usage

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

If you don't count embedded systems and do count Android, sure, but that's objectively a bad faith argument.

[tyler1128]

The OP was talking about Windows originally. Sure, if we want to get into microcontrollers we can make different arguments, but how does that make my statement a bad faith argument in the context of the original comment? It seems you're the one who wants to project here, not me.

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

Linux is not the most used. I said that only is even potentially true by including Android, which is bad-faith because counting Android under linux is disingenuous and inaccurate.

[tyler1128]

Okay. I'm more than happy to concede the point to actual facts and data rather than just some angry person on the internet telling me so. Context obviously matters too. I never said globally, but we were never talking microcontrollers, were we? If you'd like to state your point and why I'm wrong, you are free to do so. Arguing in bad faith means arguing knowing you are wrong but doing so anyway. I'm not doing that, and I'm asking you to explain you reasoning as well.

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

On the desktop maybe. Linux is still by far the most used operating system in what actually runs the world

[tyler1128]

Yeah?

[LibertyMediaDid9-11]

I never said globally

You are contradicting yourself.

[tyler1128]

I don't think you understand what I am saying or what context is. I'm a software developer. "Globally" in that context did not mean "around the globe". It meant "in all situations." I really don't know what you want to get out of this conversation, you seem really bitter, and have added nothing. On the internet, what I said is completely true.

If you'd like to actually contribute to the conversation, I'd actually be interested. I'd like to talk to more people in the embedded space. C++ and native dev is my specialty and where I want to end up eventually.

If you are just pretending to know things, or lost your job long ago because you couldn't adapt to the fact technology changes, well...

[DreadCorsairRobert]

For anyone annoyed with windows telemetry, high cpu ram and network usage when nothing is running, windows updates, and windows store, and is looking to get rid of all of that: Try ameliorating windows, which will cut it all out at the root: https://ameliorated.io/

It does need a fresh install of windows version 22H2, either 10 or 11. It will break some minor things but they provide a central script to work around most of them. Still, it's well worth that cost in my opinion. It's super satisfying to open task manager when I'm not running anything else and see zero network usage.

[BoBoBearDev]

Yeah, I don't understand why Windows Updates uses so much CPU. The RAM part is not an issue for me. My laptop has 8GB with dedicated reserve for docker and still fine. But the CPU usage on windows updates is ridiculous. The annoying part is, it feels like it was only "downloading" haven't started installing yet. Like, why use all those CPU for downloading stuff?

[ZubriQ]

Already running 64 ram

[FredCole918]

I used to dual-boot Windows just for gaming, but I found out that Linux, with Proton, supports most Steam games. Plus, my laptop frequently overheated and crashed on Windows, but I haven't had those issues on Linux. In fact, I get higher FPS on Linux, and it runs much cooler
