  • My normal method is I will hit the phishing attempt icon that IT Security added to our Outlook on anything that I did not request or sign up for.

    I'm sure the IT Security person who saw all the "free gift card" emails had a great Christmas if they claimed all the gift cards emails they deem legit.

  • I have also noticed it seems harder to find stuff on Google now. My pet theory is that it is the building in of AI to search (Bing Chat anyone?) that is affecting Google search results. Lately, I have been going to Bard & ChatGPT to do searches but treat it more as a jumping off point to help point the direction of where or how to search.

    Not perfect, but just a method I've been playing with for the past month off & on.

  • That's an error on my part, apologies. I copy/pasted and tried to redact my url from the APP_URL=https://bookstack.example.com section and ended up deleting the entire line; yay replying from mobile. :|

    I currently use Bookstack on Docker in Unraid but the above docker compose snippet is from when I used a debian VM with docker installed on it to run my docker stacks.

  • Here you go, this is my docker compose. You can modify the pieces as you see fit.

    version: '3' services:

    Bookstack

     
            bookstack:
            image: lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack

  • I do have to be cognitive of bending over after swallowing something because I can feel it trying to make it's way back up.

    For about a year, I used a husband pillow behind my pillow so I would sleep upright. Eventually, I figured out what works best for my body which is basically just make sure I don't eat at least 2 hours before bed.

    Other than that, the fundoplication takes care of preventing stomach contents from coming back. Here's a quick video!

  • Never hurts to get checked. See about having an enscopy performed and they can check it out. Another procedure is called a Esophageal Manometry. They put a thin tube up your nose and down your throat and make you swallow fluids to measure how well your esophagus squeezes or in my case, they said it spasmed and basically doesn't respond as it hood.

    I wish you the best.

  • First Dr visit was sometime in 2018 with surgery in Q2 2019'ish. I would have been 37'ish when symptoms first started coming on.

    From what I've read, only 1 in 200,000 have it so it took multiple Dr's to finally find one who said to me, "I was just at a convention last month and heard a talk about a condition like yours and just happens one of the top Dr's on achalasia lives here in our city." Few months later and I was scheduled for surgery and it's been worlds better post-surgery. :)

    It definitely affects my life every day with what I can & cannot eat (bread is a nightmare) but I take it in stride and drinks copius amounts of water with every meal.

  • Achalasia. My esophagus does not squeeze food/liquid and it gets stuck in my esophagus. Since the nerves in the esophagus are dead (paraphrasing of course) this then causes the top stomach sphincter to not know food/liquid is coming and to open up. Instead, (pre-surgery) food/liquid piles up on top of the stomach and I would have to hope the sphincter would open up and let food in. I had times where I could not swallow water as it would just sit at the entrance waiting to be let in & would have to force myself to vomit as it started to hurt.

    Post-surgery (heller myotomy with fundoplication) my esophagus is effectively a slip & slide and I rely on gravity to be able to get food down my esophagus and into my stomach. The top stomach sphincter has now been cut open and never closes anymore. They then stitch part of the top stomach lobe to the sphincter/ esophagus junction area to prevent stomach acid from backwashing.

    Even if space travel for the masses occurred during my lifetime, I will never be able to go to space because I rely on gravity to get food to pass through my esophagus.

  • I use Apache Guacamole with Duo 2FA and LDAP authentication. All of it is self hosted and sitting behind Nginx for SSL. Works great aside from when I'm in the office and they do some security te blocking that I'm too lazy to find a work around for as I rarely go into the office.

  • Using the litter aspects of cigarettes as a reason to curb smoking has always been a tough one for me. Say someone quits smoking and takes up vaping. Now we have introduced plastic waste & to an extent e-waste in the form of batteries in the disposable vapes.

    I don't have an answer to it but I have at least thought about how there is no 100% environmentally friendly alternative outside of smoking straight tobacco leaf in rolling papers.
