@pjf in this meta-review walking or jogging have the largest effect against depression, and the error bars don't even cross into null hypothesis territory (i.e. very likely a real effect).

Further down in the paper is stunning data showing dancing outperforms everything else against depression, but they don't include it, presumably because the n is small.

Exercise generally is a v powerful medicine no drug company will shill for.

Best of luck!

Worklog: fixed a regression on https://hostedgitea.com and added a new test to catch it in future.

Worklog: I've been writing e2e tests for https://dopeloop.ai to make sure new changes to the backend and auth aren't going to break for users.

Also upgraded all https://hostedgitea.com customer instances.

I've also been tinkering with nostr - specifically NIP-78 "application specific data" with a view to building some decentralized/cypherpunk micro-apps. Pretty fun technology.

2025 is shaping up to be a productive year!
