My Plan To Date

I have been dieting, trying to lose weight, trying to keep healthy at the same time. What have I learned so far? What are the most important things I still need to do and continue to do?

Keep my carbohydrate intake low. Carbs are not bad. But I have been eating a lot of it and getting it from unhealthy sources. I have to get my carbs from vegetables. This is the struggle with keto. Keeping carbs at the minimum but at the same time eating vegetables which are made of carbs. Eating at least 2-3 cups of my favorite vegetables daily adds up to at least 16 to 18 grams of carbohydrates. And I need to eat more vegetables to get to the minimum 5 cups daily. Right.

Intermittent Fasting is my friend. If you told me to fast 18 hours a day a few months ago, I would have given you a skeptical look. I have done 12 hours, 16 hours and now 18 hours intermittent fasting, IF, maybe twice a week. I'm sticking with 18 hours since I feel more comfortable with it. My last meal would be lunch, then I don't eat until the next day around 6 am. Breakfast, literally.

Eat real food. Eat vegetables. Eat nutrient dense foods. For someone who's trying to lose weight I sure advice people to eat with emphasis a lot. Real foods are single ingredient foods. Compared to food made by a company, real food is made by nature or something very close to it. The least modified from the original food from nature the better. If that's unclear then the list in this website could help you. Even they will tell you the list isn't exclusive. Feel free to try your favorite vegetables.

Sleep more. I sleep 6 hours and I feel that's enough. Sleeping an extra hour now and then improves my blood pressure and my fasting. It enhances my weight loss efforts.

I'm open to suggestions and criticisms.

ZFS Unable to System Snapshot, bpool is Full?

I first encountered the problem after a routine update / upgrade of the system. Well there was a kernel upgrade and I have not checked how many old kernels are still left for backups in /boot. Apparently, there was a few and the partition is 85% full. Every software update included a warning because of the restriction in disk space. Also, zfs could not create snapshots. It is also full. This is not very clear to me. Snapshots were suppose to be diff copies so why would it take up a large space. Most of the snapshots are less than 2MB. Or 0MB. Another problem that popped up is the constant freezing of Rhythmbox. I don't know if the config files are corrupted. The CPU cycles from one to the next. Peaks for 5-6 seconds then on to the next CPU. This forced me to download Clementine and Audacious. But both applications do not find the zfs pool or don't show the zfs structure. Why not? My final solution is to reinstall Rhythmbox via snaps. I re-scanned the music libr

Renter's ID and Business Licensing 2023

Last year's business permit application involved an undertaking of submitting lessee list to the Barangay in order to get them ID's including one for the lessor himself. I received a letter of notification just before New Year's Day. It informed me that I might be denied renewal of permits because I did not comply with this undertaking. So the Renter's ID is a serious thing now. When I went ahead and applied for a business permit renewal at the local government office everything went well except they want my list of lessee. So I had to backtrack and go to the Barangay and submit the list. They produced the ID's and I provided the photo ID's and of course have it signed by the lessee. After that, they pointed me to the cashier to pay the taxes and permit fees which totaled php15,305.00 ($280.33) During the payment of Fire and Safety department, they reminded me to bring my fire extinguisher official receipts of payment. I can pick up my new pe
