Battling #brainfog as a part of a severe #Depression is no fun, therefore I am going on with one small step at a time.
I decided to reinstall my home #server with a clean #debian #trixie , got a #ghost #blog , #nginx and #kuma installed so far and tomorrow I will continue with hardening the setup with #ssl and #firewall ...and then I might start writing again.
What a journey for an absolutely non-skilled person in any tech.
I like it, and especially doing it the #foss way and connecting with like-minded people here on #mastodon .
So, have a nice day and weekend ahead!
not a good day today. not yet a really bad one, but fatigue and pain are higher than 'comfortable'. I shouldn't be surprised. I've had nearly a full week of good day streak, my body was bound to say โ€œwell, enough of thaf, can't have you forgetting,โ€ sooner or later. no appetite and extra brain fog doesn't help matters. at least floki is keeping me company while I rest. here's hoping it doesn't devolve into a full blown flare-up and I'm well enough to socialise outside Saturday.

This nasal spray rewinds the aging brain, restoring memory and reversing inflammation in preclinical models

Picture this: your brain is a high-performance engine. Over decades, it doesn't just wear down, it also starts to run hot. Tiny "fires" of inflammation smolder deep within the brain's memory center, creating a persistent brain fog that makes it harder to think, form new memories or even adapt to new environments, all the while increasing the risk to disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Scientists call this slow burn "neuroinflammaging," and for decades it was thought to be the inevitable price [โ€ฆ]

you know the brain fog and cognitive functions are not good, when you literally spill the eggs all over the counter, not only once, but twice, while trying to make yourself an easy dinner you've made lots of time and have it down to a spoons saving science..... โ€‹โ€‹

COVID infections are causing drops in IQ and years of brain aging, studies suggest | CBC Radio

Researchers are trying to understand the profound effects of COVID-19 on the brain, looking at how it disrupts the blood-brain barrier, how it affects brain volume, and showing that even a mild case of COVID can lead to the equivalent of seven years of brain aging.
