Circling back to the top post of this thread - people have earnestly reported resolving seasonal allergies by eating zero carb. There could be lots of reasons for it :

1. They could be lying
2. They could be deluded/placebo effect
3. They had a sensitivity to some food they were eating and removed it
4. They had a sensitivity to a toxin/chemical/pollutant that was on the food they were eating, and removed it.

In the 3/4 scenario something they were eating in today’s food environment was causing them to be sensitive to pollen. Our food environment is hugely different then even 100 years ago, so it’s hard to say what exactly is the cause, but we have reports that people eliminating many variables can resolve their issue. For the OP of this entire post that is useful information for them to have.

People have always eaten plants. A lot of plants.

No doubt, but was it 85% of their energy like it is today? Or just opportunistic in season? Regardless it’s off topic, the topic is allergies.

I’d link to some some scientific papers but fuck Elsevier.

If you have actually read a paper cover to cover, and are willing to discuss it indepth - I’d be happy to read it too and have a conversation.

no wonder you think eating meat cures hay-fever.

If you read my comment, i was clear meat doesn’t cure anything, its the removal of the foods that do sensitize some people to allergens that “cures” it.

Way to hear only what you want to hear from my argument

You didn’t make a cogent argument that zero carb is a fad, we both established that humans have eaten zero carb for a very long time - so we agree the eating pattern is not new.

Sounds like just another “cure-all” fad diet.

Sure, large populations of ancient humans were carnivorous

Ok, so we agree it isn’t a fad. great.

Its the diet humans ate before agriculture, so its got some longevity to it. However, it doesn’t cure anything, it just removes everything that could be causing problems - the diet didn’t fix it, removing the problem fixed it.

Some people report their seasonal allergies going away after going onto a zero carb diet. We don’t know why, but I can speculate it’s about plant lectins binding all over the body increasing immune response in general. https://whycarnivore.com/#Allergies

In my production systems, and in my home systems, and in my gaming computers, I turn swap off. There’s no good reason to wear out disc writes. In production systems, I’d rather have something fail hard, then get slower and slower and slower falling behind.

Quite frankly, there’s no good reason to have swap on anymore, memory is huge. Most programs don’t need as much as they use. You can set memory pressure in systemd, telling programs to reduce their usage, and giving them individual hard cutoffs, so something like Prometheus can’t take down your whole system just because it’s got a memory leak.
