  • Yes, FMT is super experiemental. The point of the blog/website is not to convince people to buy poop, it's to find ideal stool donors who may be able to cure a variety of diseases.

    Maybe FMT is a good idea, but it’s still too unknown for me to accept it.

    It can't become "more known" unless a highly effective donor can be found. And such a donor can't be found unless people start helping...

    I don't think FMT is appropriate to regulate as a supplement. The ingredients of supplements are known and standardized. FMT is an extremely complex and dynamic ecosystem. Yogurt is a handful of known microbes in a highly controlled environment. FMT vs yogurt is like the universe vs a zoo.

  • Dr. Alexander Khoruts (University of Minnesota GI, Director, UMN Microbiota Therapeutics Program) made a similar comment. https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/designer-hit-panel-discussion-achieving-cures-together-dec-2023-peter.216/

    He asks an FDA adviser "Does the FDA care more about profits or people?", and the response he gets is "one of the missions of the FDA is to protect the interests of commercial developers". Another question to the advisor: "How much influence does the industry have over the FDA decisions?", A: "A lot".

  • Here's an example of virtually no one out of 1.2 million people caring whatsoever: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/threads/high-quality-stool-donors-are-more-rare-than-one-in-a-million-ai-fundi.304/post-760

    This is the kind of thing that for me invalidates all those pro-natalism "large population = more chances that one person's going to do something great" arguments. 8 billion people and a single disabled person is left to do it on their own. Especially when it's something like this where anyone/everyone can do something to help, and 99.99999% of people just simply can't be bothered.

  • Be sure to actually read the blog. I made a post about this in another community and one person completely ignored the blog and used deceptive tobacco and oil industry tactics to spread FUD and disinformation. But people who actually read the blog should be immune to that.

    For example, here is the reaction of a normal and knowledgeable person who actually read the blogs: https://twitter.com/chydorina/status/1767995009771647375

  • Instead of setting up one nginx for multiple sites you run one nginx per site and have the settings for that as part of the site repository.

    Doesn't that require a lot of resources since you're running (mysql, nginx, etc.) numerous times (once for each container), instead of once globally?

    Or, per your comment below:

    Since the base image is static, and config is per container, one image can be used to run multiple containers. So if you have a postgres image, you can run many containers on that image. And specify different config for each instance.

    You'd only have two instances of postgres, for example, one for all docker containers and one global/server-wide? Still, that doubles the resources used no?

  • Hmm, I watched the Oxygen video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yae8GvpPVo where they build a webpage and it doesn't seem weird to me. As a Squarespace user, it seems more familiar to me than the Gutenberg editor. For example, setting the spacing of two side-by-side elements with Gutenberg seemed really strange. They were spaced really far apart without an obvious way to reduce the spacing.

    Interesting! That looks like a completely free version of Elementor Pro. It looks like it's not on the official Wordpress plugins site https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/PRO+Elements/ though. I read that makes it more risky.
