Can you maybe clarify what you mean with “work”? What are you trying to achieve by significantly exceeding any supplemental recommendation that I’ve ever heard of?

Are you worried, that your Vitamin D3 levels are significantly too low, because you’re suffering e.g. from SAD, another mood- or an autoimmune disorder?

Talk to your doctor, get your levels checked, follow their advice and take the dose they recommend for the time they recommend!

Are you planning to relocate to a cave? Will you never see the sun again?

Talk to a medical professional about that plan, take whatever supplements they recommend for as long as they recommend them.

Are you living in a cold and dark country like Sweden? Then that country probably has safe guidelines you can follow. If you’re still worried or you are experiencing any symptoms that might be related to low Vitamin D3 levels, talk to a medical professional!

Why are you trying to exceed any recommended dosage by the factor of 10? Where did you get that number in the first place?

I believe that number is still low enough to not pose any immediate risk in the short or mid term. Your doctor might even agree that high supplementation is necessary to get your level up.

As a long term plan and without knowing your actual levels, it’s just stupid: At best it does nothing but waste your money on needless supplements. At worst it increases the risks that come with overdosing on Vitamin D3.

I know, you know, that I’m not telling the truth.

I’m disabled …

Geeze, what an obvious sales pitch.

Try The Secret of Money Island instead, it’s much better than Loom. 😉

As an AI language model, I concur with this assessment.

It certainly doesn’t help that Lemmy had and still has absolutely no sensible way to actually surface niche communities to its subscribers. Unlike Reddit, it doesn’t weigh posts by their relative popularity within the community but only by total popularity/popularity within the instance. There’s also zero form of community grouping (like Reddit’s multireddits) - all of which effectively eliminates all niche communities from any sensible main view mode and floods those with shitty memes and even shittier politics only. This pretty much suffocated the initially enthusiastic niche tech communities I had subscribed to. They stood no chance to thrive and their untimely death was inevitable.

There are some very tepid attempts to remedy this in upcoming Lemmy builds, but I fear it’s too little too late.

I fear that Lemmy was simply nowhere near mature enough when it mattered and it has been slowly bleeding users and content ever since. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, though.

Boost is the reason I’m contributing to this community.

The ball gag is for the “Ommms” not to bother the neighbors …

Same here. One of the biggest issues is that Lemmy is currently terrible at surfacing content from niche communities: no weighted activity, no “multi-reddit-syle” community grouping - pretty much any main view mode is dominated by a few large communities only. This makes the death of the small communities a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The next version of Lemmy is making some very tepid improvements in that regard, but it’s nowhere near enough.

A stupid dystopia.

Even if we ignore the whole “planning a Star Wars inspired regicide to impress an AI” part, trying to assassinate a 95-year-old is just a dumb race against time.

Unlike e.g. vitamin C, excess vitamin D isn’t really excreted. It’s stored long term and eventually causes hypercalcemia and kidney stones if persistently supplemented at high doses over a long time. OP’s dosage is above the “sensible if you never see the sun” range but not quite in the “dangerously excessive” range.

I believe one can’t 1:1 compare the dosage, Pfizer’s MRNA was supposed to be a little more stable and hence less of it was needed. But, yeah, Moderna’s dosage is higher.

I’ve gotten both over the years and Moderna always knocked me out harder, but never like OP. Symptoms have always been medium to strong fatigue and at most a mild headache.

I haven’t gotten the new booster yet.

Unraid 6.12 and higher has full support for ZFS pools. You can even use ZFS in the Unraid Array itself - allowing you to use many, but not all, of ZFS extended features. Self healing isn’t one of those features, though, it would be incompatible with Unraid’s parity approach to data integrity.

I just changed my cache pool from BTRFS to ZFS with Raid 1 and encryption, it was a breeze.

I generally recommend TrueNAS for projects where speed and security are more important than anything else and Unraid where (hard- and software-)flexibility, power efficiency, ease of use and a very extensive and healthy ecosystem are more pressing concerns.

Unraid is also awesome for places with high energy cost: Unlike with your typical RAID / standard NAS, it allows you to spin down all drives that aren’t in active use at a relatively minor write speed performance penalty.

That’s pretty ideal for your typical Plex-server where most data is static.

I built a 10HDD + 2SSD Unraid Server that idles at well below 30W and I could have even lowered that further had I been more selective about certain hardware. In a medium to high energy cost country, Unraid’s license cost is compensated by energy savings within a year or two.

Mixing & matching older drives means even more savings.

Simple array extension, single or dual parity, powerful cache pool tools and easily the best plugin and docker app store make it just such a cool tool.

Brought peace.

Just about every UEFI-compatible BIOS has a “boot override”-key (F8, F12 etc.) that brings up a Grub-like boot-selection screen.

The aqueduct?

Most of them? The fact that most niche communities failed to successfully migrate away from Reddit is the reason why Lemmy isn’t really something I frequent as often as I would like these days.

Heck, it would probably be a whole lot easier to list the three niche communities here that may be thriving.
