I don’t know much about the potential health benefits, but it is a very cool plant.
I have one growing in my apartment, and one can do some cool chemistry experiments with the turmeric powder! The molecule that makes the powder yellow is called curcumin. You can use it as a yellow dye, a pH sensor, and it has even been used as a component for a low-voltage organic light-emitting diode.
There is a controversial theory of smell that I find fascinating. The hypothesis was put forward by Luca Turin (video), and the idea is that the several of the receptors involved in the perception of smell are not the typical ‘lock-and-key’ receptors that can sense the shape of molecules, but instead work via a mechanism that is able to sense specific molecular vibrations. This might be achieved via an electron transfer reaction in which the electron transfer can only happen if a molecule that contains a vibration with the right frequency is present in the binding pocket.
One reason why this hypothesis is compelling is because we it seems like we are able to recognize molecules with specific atoms and functional groups. One dramatic example I know of is sulfur compounds. We can easily sense a ‘sulfur’ smell, even if the sulfur-containing molecules are very different.
For example, compare ethanol to ethanethiol: their shapes are quite similar, but the ethanethiol has a strong sulfur smell. Simple alcohols in general have an ‘alcoholic’ smell, and thiols have a ‘sulfur’ smell.
When I saw this paper originally I became very excited because I thought that this would finally lay this hypothesis to rest (or confirm it), but it turns out that the receptor that was studied is a specific receptor of a particular class and does not contain the class of receptors that can sense alcohols and thiols… So the vibration theory of odor still stands!
I hope that an odor receptor sensitive to sulfur-containing compounds is solved soon! I am very curious.
My priority would be to help the insect dry while avoiding applying much force on the insect. I would use some highly absorbent material that does not produce much fluff - like a microfiber cloth, and try to dry the area around the wings and as close to the wings as possible. I would then put the cloth right by its legs and see if the insect can hold onto it and lift itself up.
Another option would be to try to make its surroundings as safe as posible, blocking direct sunlight but letting air flow, and then wait for the insect to dry. But if the drying is too slow the insect might hurt itself or run out of energy if it gets agitated.
It is a delicate situation. I have had some similar situations with insects falling into the pool and then trying to get them dry. Sometimes the insects do lose a wing in the process, or even lose it in the water before I find them.
I know that patent trolls are a thing, but I was under the impression that these patent trolls would still have to produce lots of specific but still broad patents. For example, they will file a patent for a whole class of compounds for treating a specific group of diseases without having the data to back it up.
But in this case it is even worse!
They patented a trivial idea - “send voice commands from phone to computer” - without providing any novel practical implementations of the idea. How is this acceptable?
patent/US9794348 Using voice commands from a mobile device to remotely access and control a computer
Abstract
A method of using voice commands from a mobile device to remotely access and control a computer. The method includes receiving audio data from the mobile device at the computer. The audio data is decoded into a command. A software program that the command was provided for is determined. At least one process is executed at the computer in response to the command. Output data is generated at the computer in response to executing at least one process at the computer. The output data is transmitted to the mobile device.
Yes, I agree with your assessment. I think that from the point of view of geo-politics, countries tend to make self-serving choices. Human rights are usually not a priority. There are human rights abuses all over the world, but if addressing them does not serve a political purpose, they tend not to appear in the spotlight. As soon as an excuse is needed one can of course summon these abuses and blast them through the media.
I am not saying that I agree with this approach or that this is the way I think thinks should be. But I think that this is the answer to why the EU does not impose sanctions to the US. Similarly, the US lets the Saudis get away with a lot of human rights abuses to avoid souring relations. And the Israel <-> Palestine conflict, why is the world so chill about that?
Because the US is a closer ally and the EU was forced to pick a side. The EU did not move spontaneously and alone, it moved as part of coordinated action. Furthermore, Russia launched a direct attack into European territory, making it a much more direct military threat.
What you are proposing here is different. You are asking the EU to spontaneously and unilaterally decide to go after its most powerful ally because of the human rights violations that they are committing somewhere else.
What version do you have? I think you have one of the older versions, you can find the latest one here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.26
Try removing the lemmy.conf file from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled,
And then run:
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/uebishe.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/uebishe.conf
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Or, I have made an nginx config file that will work for you
If you already created an nginx configuration file, move it somewhere else. Then, get the new configuration file to the nginx folder, and then restart the nginx service by running these two commands:
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/uebishe.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/uebishe.conf
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Ah! So you skipped this step:
Now i skip old step about “wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf -O lemmy.conf”
You need to have the lemm.conf file under /etc/nginx/sites-enabled, this is the file that tells nginx how to manage the connection. Don’t skip that step! Get that file and modify it by adding your domain name

Sorry, I did not realize that these files had not yet been updated with the changes necessary for version 0.17.0, which are described here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md#lemmy-v0170-release-2023-01-31
I could not find an example of the files configured correctly in github, so I have uploaded some example files. You get them this way:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/lemmy.hjson
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kradyz/Tutorials/main/files/docker-compose.yml
Then modify the variables inside {}, like the domain name and the database password.
Remove the following blocks from the docker-compose file:
networks:
# communication to web and clients
lemmyexternalproxy:
# communication between lemmy services
lemmyinternal:
driver: bridge
internal: true
proxy:
image: nginx:1-alpine
networks:
- lemmyinternal
- lemmyexternalproxy
ports:
# only ports facing any connection from outside
- 80:80
- 443:443
volumes:
- ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
# setup your certbot and letsencrypt config
- ./certbot:/var/www/certbot
- ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt/live
restart: always
depends_on:
- pictrs
- lemmy-ui
And try again. Does it work?
Do you want to install a fresh instance, or do you want to upgrade an instance?
If you are installing fresh, most of that tutorial is still going to work out. But you now need to pull the config file this way:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/main/config/defaults.hjson lemmy.hjson
If you install the more recent docker version, you don’t have to install docker-compose the same way. Follow the instructions from the website, and use ‘docker compose’ instead of ‘docker-compose’.
The nginx configuration does not need to change.
What problems are you getting?
There is a newer version that fixes this: https://lemmy.ml/post/743037
An issue was opened for that three days ago:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2678
I don’t think it is possible through the UI at the moment.
Very interesting collection of strategies! I like the strategy of removing the sugars that the bacteria use for invading the mouth.
Genetic engineering is super cool! But, in the context of agriculture, I personally prefer strategies that use a more holistic approach and try to use what we know from nature to try to create a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Unfortunately these more “organic” strategies are not compatible with a rapidly changing environment and the insanely high production demand of the world we live in. These are tools that we want to use to cover up the symptoms of a sick world, not to treat the underlying causes. Continuing in this direction is unfortunately going to cost us a large amount of the world’s diversity 😞
Nice article! :)
I like to think of the following example:
There is a magical room. This room is full with an infinite number of images - every possible image that can exist - every combination of pixels - is in this room. A person while in this room has an infinite amount of time and an infinite amount of patience. You enter that room with the intention of finding an image that conveys a particular emotion or feeling. You walk through, looking image by image, trying to find one which you believe conveys that emotion. Finally, you find the perfect image. You take it out of the room so that now you can share it with others.
Did you make art?
Not everyone would answer that question the same way. For someone, the act of a meaningful selection is artistic in itself - in a way similar to pointing the camera somewhere and clicking a button as long as there is an intention to do so. But someone else might say “no, you simply picked up an image that already existed, so it is not art”. There is no objective set of parameters to define art, so there are lots of different subjective opinions.
Also related. My family makes jewelry. I have helped them make some AI-inspired designs and posted them on social media. Some people got especially upset and left us nasty comments in which they stated that AI does not make real art, that this was intellectual theft, etc. We never made any artistic claim or called it art - they are jewelry designs that look cool.
AI can be extremely helpful during the first steps of the design process. Usually a client describes their vision, an artist draws it, the client asks for corrections, artist draws version 2, client changes their mind, version 3… AI-aided design can facilitate this process dramatically by quickly iterating through options live to eventually generate a much better initial input for the artist!
I see more people criticizing AI art for not being art than I see people who use AI tools claiming that it is!
Also, did you change the variables in the Lemmy UI environment?
(Edit to specify, in the docker-compose.yml file the variables are now different)
The lemmy-ui environment variables have changed, and should now look like:
environment:
- LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=lemmy:8536
- LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST={{ domain }}
- LEMMY_UI_HTTPS=true
There are also other instructions that you need to follow. Are you following the release note instructions?
See: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md#lemmy-v0170-release-2023-01-31

Woah! That’s amazing. We think that we know a lot, and yet we are still discovering organelles within a model organism that gets scrutinized under the microscope every day all over the world!
