In general I agree, but I would oppose the "much less" advice.

If one is not morbidly obese, it is much easier to reduce the number of calories by a small amount and adjust to this lifestyle. Short diets with a strong calorie deficit require careful planning to be effective (exact nr of calories, protein, diet breaks etc).

If you assume an average person who is 10kg overweight due to slacking over the last 5-10 years, then we are talking about a daily surplus of 20 calories per day. Cutting your daily intake for around 220 calories will allow one to go back to the initial weight over the course of a year without dramatic lifestyle changes.

To cut these 220calories out, all of your advices apply, I would just not combine all of them in rapid manner. Most humans are not bodybuilders and will not have the willpower to sustain such a diet with appropriate planning.

The perspective on this one is rather important I'd say. To run a service and buying a few IPv4 addresses is quite feasible. But operating an ISP and maintaining either large numbers of prefixes or costly CGNAT hardware at that scale puts it way more into focus.

Of course I'm not implying that IPv6 isn't nice to run inside your infrastructure but I guess it isnt at the top of ones expenses.

I don't agree with Joe Rogan, but this is a very wild claim.

This summer I experimented with a waterbottle hack (if you will).

Where I live winters are usually somewhat cold, but houses are more or less well insulated and heating is widely available. However, summers have become quite warm nowadays and there are very strict rules around installing AC.

Thus, I was thinking if a water bottle can keep me warm, perhaps it could also cool me down?

So what I do is put a handful of ice cubes into water and then fill that into my water bottle. Although last summer was not the best for a test it worked quite well. I got through a full workday (~30°) with 2 bottles.

I'm aware that using my fridge does contribute to some degree to the heat in the apartment. But given the little amount of ice needed I'm pretty sure its negligible and certainly more efficient than AC. I also want to note that it is way more comfortable (at least to me) than having these humidified ventilators that are quite popular nowadays.

This is exactly what I did after trying a dumb phone. I have to say asisd from all the diversions, smarthpones do bring very nice features. I just wouldnt want to miss E-Banking, 2FA for some of my apps and so on. This is why I bought a Wiko Y81 for 60$ and I continue to love this phone. It is so painfully slow that it truly allowed me to get my social media habbits off. However while being slow it is still a solid phone, reading, listening to spotify and doing emergency stuff (like retrieving a lost boarding card from google drive) works fine. What's even better is due to its weak screen the battery lasts forever! It's so refreshing to just leave the house with 15% battery for the day and still getting through.

Couldn't you revoke the permission for the android app to draw on your screen? But maybe I misinterpret your comment.
