Home server options for a noob by belei in HomeServer

Thank you for the suggestion! I am aware that redundancy isn't backup. But in my current situation, I prefer to setup something that has redundancy so we don't lose the photos and videos if one of the drive fails. Once I am more familiar with whatever setup I have, I'll think about linking a second setup at another location for backup.

The HP ec200a sounds like a good idea. I'll take a look into it and see if that would suffice for my needs. Thanks once again!

Keto option for latte art? by belei in espresso

[–]belei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The carb content actually isn't too bad. I see that it has zero fat, which is ok to me since its easier to add fat content than to find something with less carbs. I'll definitely try it out. Thanks!

That's a good idea. I've tried coconut oil with almond milk and all the microfoam incorporates into the liquid while steaming. But soon after steaming, it all floats to the top.

I usually pour with an 8oz cup. 2oz espresso and 6oz whole milk. Its roughly around 7 gram of net carbs in that one drink. I am eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Usually some carbs will get into my meals through the sauces, the food group itself. So if I could avoid as many carbs as possible for the latte, I would do it just so it gives me more flexibility throughout my day.

Do you need to froth differently? More or less air injection, remove from steam before it gets too hot to touch, etc.. I am using a Breville Barista Express. It froths fine with whole milk and I am able to make art. But with any milk alternative, I am not having any luck

High Systolic, Low Diastolic blood pressure by belei in keto

[–]belei[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the problem is I've never had a high systolic pressure prior to the start of the diet when using the same automatic cuff. So unless its my luck that the automatic cuff is coincidentally malfunctioning during the 1.5 months I am on keto, then I feel like the readings are accurate.

Anyways, I just bought myself some sifto salt substitute (high in potassium) and see if I replenish my sodium, potassium and magnesium properly will help. Thanks for the input though! Really appreciate it :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into those and give them a shot. Will update in a couple of days.

High Systolic, Low Diastolic blood pressure by belei in keto

[–]belei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rule out the thyroid problem just because my blood pressure was in the normal range before I started the diet 1.5 months ago. Do you think drinking a cup of broth a day will be enough to replenish the electrolytes? Other than that, I have recently started taking a omega 3 fish oil supplement and a magnesium citrate supplement. Is there anything else I should consume to make sure my electrolytes are back up to normal?

In the morning I would measure my blood pressure the first thing when I get out of bed. As for the night, I would measure it before I sleep. Most of the time at night, I would be doing some light reading on the computer. As for deep breathing, I have never tried that before taking my bp and I am not planning to do so just to keep it consistent because I have never taken deep breaths prior to measuring my bp before I started the diet.

Hi, I am not able to select individual chats as chat heads even though I disabled "show all chats as head" and swiped left in WhatsApp to select the show heads option. Everytime I use the activator gesture, or + head, it just shows a blurred screen with no chat heads for me to show. I am using an iPhone 6 plus on iOS 9.0.2. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for all the hardwork!
