    LiteStep, then bb4win for me. A lot of the people I talk to to this day are from the LiteStep IRC. The customization ability of windows has just plummeted over the years.

    Food is so much easier to get and denser than it was. Combine that with most people not needing to spend days/nights hunting for food, and you get heavier people. So the idea that the weight loss medicines, not the fads/starving/fasting, is wrong or bad is a bad take, in my opinion.

    I've done low-carb before and lost a lot of weight and kept it off for a while. When I won my bet, I practically lived on myfitnesspal. Inputting foods, weights, figuring out how to put foods in, weighing food. When it went down for a week, I felt lost. It wasn't healthy or sustainable, and the weight trickled back on. I had more than one day when I was under 1200 calories too, on top of already being on a deficit based on the calculator given my height/weight and exercise.

    In my situation, with my other health and mental conditions, I think a medicine to help with weight loss is a good idea. Not forever, but if it can help me get going, then it's a good thing.

    I was on r slash keto (they get no linkbacks from me) and some of the other subs and the comments here about them focusing more on being skinny than healthy is true. Not everyone, but enough that it was the prevailing theme, even though they didn't necessarily realize it. I lost about 60 pounds over a three-month period doing keto and tracking everything on myfitnesspal as part of a bet with a friend.

    I won the bet, but slowly stopped tracking everything and the weight came back on. Losing 60 pounds changed nothing for me. I didn't feel physically better, I didn't sleep better or have less fatigue issues. I still struggled with waking up sometimes and then staying awake during the day. My doctor was supportive at first, but as the weight came back he kind of belittled the weight loss since I had so much more to lose. He specifically mentioned BMI in context of my weight. Which, like others above-mentioned, isn't really a good individual measure.

    After listening to Adam Ragusea's podcast video and then reading about these medicines, I'm going to have him put his money where his mouth is. The world's weight gain is an epidemic, and one way to fight it is to use medicine, along with other medical and mental supports.

    I have Unraid set up with Unbound and Pi-hole, then Nginx Proxy Manager for hostnames. You can't use FQDN for the DNS server, it has to be IP. You can use NPM to access Adguard or Pihole or whatever using a FQDN.

    For my setup, I had to use acme.sh to get NPM a wildcard cert for my domain and now I can use it's proxy host to create the names. They don't work outside my lan, but I could set up plex or whatever if I wanted remote access.
