Open source projects often face challenges in securing adequate funding, donations, and contributions for several reasons: ## Limited Awareness and Visibility Many open source projects struggle to gain visibility among potential users and contributors[1]. Without a large user base or strong marketing efforts, it can be difficult to attract donations or financial support. ## Misconceptions About Open Source There's a common misconception that open source software should be entirely free, including development costs[2]. This leads to a reluctance among users to financially support projects they benefit from. ## Funding Models and Sustainability Traditional funding models often don't align well with open source development: **Donation Challenges:** Relying solely on donations is rarely sustainable for most projects[5]. Only a small percentage of users typically contribute, and amounts are often insufficient to support full-time development. **Venture Capital Complications:** While VC funding can provide initial boosts, it often leads to pressure for monetization that may conflict with open source principles[3]. ## The "Free Rider" Problem Many companies and individuals use open source software without contributing back, either financially or through code contributions[2]. This creates an imbalance where projects provide value but don't receive proportional support. ## Your Proposed Solution Your idea of a self-hosted project with a demo featuring ads presents an interesting middle ground: **Potential Benefits:** - Provides a steady revenue stream without compromising the open source nature of the project. - Allows users to try the software before committing to self-hosting. - Could generate enough income to support full-time developers. **Considerations:** - Ensure the ad implementation doesn't compromise user privacy or experience. - Be transparent about how ad revenue is used to support the project. - Consider offering an ad-free option for users who prefer to donate directly. This approach aligns with the concept of "open core" models, where the core functionality remains open source while additional features or services generate revenue[1]. It could potentially address some of the funding challenges while maintaining the project's open source ethos. ## Balancing Open Source and Sustainability Your proposal represents a pragmatic approach to the open source funding dilemma. By generating revenue through non-intrusive means, the project can maintain its open source nature while working towards financial sustainability. This model could potentially: 1. Attract more contributors by demonstrating a path to sustainable development. 2. Provide resources for marketing and outreach, increasing the project's visibility. 3. Allow for consistent maintenance and feature development, benefiting the entire user community. While not a perfect solution, this approach offers a promising compromise between open source ideals and the practical needs of sustainable software development.

Linux PumpkinDrama • 7 hours ago • 100%

My father asked me to set up a Raspberry Pi with the essentials to try out Linux and potentially ditch Windows if he likes it enough. He specifically requested YouTube, Amazon Kindle, GIMP, Audacity, KeePass, and a text editor like Notepad. I've installed Armbian Debian with the Cinnamon desktop environment. What would you have chosen? As for the essentials, I'm not sure where to find a list of the most commonly used programs to install. I've just installed what I think he would appreciate, for example, Firefox with uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock, KeePassXC-Browser, and G App Launcher extensions. Now I'm going to see if I can install Amazon Kindle and Notepad using Wine, along with a couple of alternatives like Calibre and gedit. Then I'll set up a Google Drive folder so he can share his files with his main computer until he decides to switch. Finally, I'll use Timeshift to create a snapshot after I've finished setting everything up. What essentials am I missing? Do you have any suggestions? edit: I've realized that this is a bad idea. I'll just install Linux on one of his spare x86 computers and explain that many programs aren't available for ARM. Then, after he gets used to Linux, I can install it on his current laptop and maybe move his Windows installation to the spare computer, if I can figure out how to do that.

Debian and Ubuntu users have several package management options available, each with its own strengths and use cases. Let's compare apt, snap, flatpak, and pacstall: ## APT (Advanced Package Tool) APT is the traditional package manager for Debian-based systems, including Ubuntu. **Advantages:** - Native to Debian and Ubuntu - Extensive repository of software packages - Efficient use of storage space - Fast application startup times - Well-established and widely supported **Disadvantages:** - Can be challenging to install the latest software versions - Potential for dependency conflicts - Limited to packages available in official repositories ## Snap Snap is a universal package manager developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. **Advantages:** - Self-contained packages with bundled dependencies - Easy installation of proprietary software - Automatic updates - Sandboxed applications for improved security - Works across multiple Linux distributions **Disadvantages:** - Larger package sizes due to bundled dependencies - Slower application startup times - Limited to Canonical's Snap Store - Some users dislike the automatic updates ## Flatpak Flatpak is another universal package manager, developed by the open-source community. **Advantages:** - Distribution-agnostic - Self-contained packages with bundled dependencies - Sandboxed applications for improved security - Supports multiple software versions side-by-side - Decentralized package distribution **Disadvantages:** - Larger package sizes due to bundled dependencies - Manual updates required - May require additional setup on some systems ## Pacstall Pacstall is a relatively new package manager that aims to bring AUR-like functionality to Ubuntu and other Debian-based systems. **Advantages:** - Provides access to a wider range of software - Community-driven package repository - Easier installation of software not available in official repositories - Supports building packages from source **Disadvantages:** - Smaller package selection compared to other options - Less established and potentially less stable - May require more technical knowledge to use effectively ## Comparison Table | Feature | APT | Snap | Flatpak | Pacstall | |---------|-----|------|---------|----------| | Package size | Small | Large | Large | Varies | | Startup speed | Fast | Slower | Moderate | Fast | | Automatic updates | No | Yes | No | No | | Sandboxing | No | Yes | Yes | No | | Proprietary software | Limited | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Cross-distro support | No | Yes | Yes | Limited | | Package creation | Complex | Moderate | Moderate | Simple | | Community support | Extensive | Growing | Growing | Limited | In practice, many users opt to use a combination of these package managers. APT remains the primary method for system updates and core software, while snap, flatpak, or pacstall can be used for specific applications or newer software versions not available through APT[1][2][4]. For example, you might use APT for most system packages, Flatpak for desktop applications that require the latest versions, and Snap for proprietary software like Zoom or Spotify that isn't easily available through other means[4]. Ultimately, the choice between these package managers depends on your specific needs, the software you use, and your preferences regarding factors like update frequency, security, and system resource usage.

I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can't help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a unique experience. What makes them unique? How do they reimagine the social media experience?

If you're experiencing flu symptoms, there are several self-care strategies and remedies you can try to alleviate the discomfort and manage the fever. It's important to note that if your symptoms are severe, persist beyond a week, or you have difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention. Here are some recommendations based on the provided sources: ### Rest and Hydration - **Get plenty of rest**: Sleep helps your body fight off infection[1]. - **Drink fluids**: Staying hydrated keeps the throat moist and helps prevent dehydration. Warm liquids like broth, caffeine-free tea, or warm water with honey can soothe the throat. Cold treats such as ice pops may also provide relief. Avoid caffeine and alcohol[1][2]. ### Gargle and Humidify - **Saltwater gargle**: Dissolve 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 4 to 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle the solution and then spit it out. This can help reduce throat swelling and discomfort[1]. - **Humidify the air**: Use a cool-air humidifier to add moisture to the air, or sit in a steamy bathroom for several minutes[1]. ### Lozenges and Pain Relief - **Lozenges or hard candy**: These can soothe the throat. However, they should not be given to children age 4 and younger due to the choking risk[1]. - **Pain relievers**: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can ease pain and reduce fever. Remember, never give aspirin to children or teenagers[1][3]. ### Avoid Irritants - **Stay away from cigarette smoke and cleaning products** that can further irritate the throat[1]. ### Alternative Remedies - **Herbal remedies**: Slippery elm, licorice root, and marshmallow root are commonly used to soothe a sore throat. These are often found in teas, sprays, or lozenges. However, check with your doctor before using any herbal remedies, especially if you're taking prescription medications, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding[1]. ### Additional Tips - **Antihistamines**: May help if your sore throat is due to allergies by reducing congestion and post-nasal drip[5]. - **Hot shower**: Breathing in steam from a hot shower can loosen mucus and moisturize the throat[5]. - **Elevate your head while sleeping**: This can help reduce swelling and make breathing easier[5]. Remember, these remedies are intended to provide relief from symptoms. If your sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, such as streptococcal pharyngitis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. It's crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed to fully resolve the infection and prevent complications[1]. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, or if you experience severe pain, difficulty breathing, or a high fever, seek medical attention promptly.

#### Ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 cup sugar - 1 cup olive oil - 1 cup milk - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder - 1 teaspoon aniseed - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon #### Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350°F). 1. In a large bowl, whisk everything together. 1. Pour the batter into a parched sheet pan. 1. Bake for 20 minutes. 1. Allow to cool before serving. I make it without almonds and without a mold for simplicity. I then cut it into pieces and store what I'm not going to eat the same day in an airtight container in the freezer. It can also be made with a round mold. Usually, halfway through baking, it's sprinkled with almonds and sugar. This is a simpler variation I make of the following recipes: - [Torta de aceite de la Serranía de Ronda](https://youtube.com/watch?v=1-Cd3NP4A1I) - [Torta de pellizco de Ubrique](https://www.directoalpaladar.com/postres/receta-torta-pellizco-ubrique-esponjoso-bizcocho-dulce-sabor-tradicional-que-se-mide-vaso) - [Torta de Vélez](https://youtube.com/watch?v=1zzohsnE42I)

Hello everyone, I've recently stumbled upon a fanfic that I'm eager to dive into. I found it on FicHub, but unfortunately, it's incomplete there. The complete version is available on FicWad, but I've been having some trouble downloading it as an epub. I've tried using FanFicFare, but it keeps prompting me to log in. I attempted to register on FicWad to resolve this, but I haven't received any confirmation email from them. Moreover, I'm not quite sure how to use a login when using FanFicFare. My ultimate goal is to listen to the fanfic rather than read it. I usually have my phone read it to me using text-to-speech (TTS), so downloading the fanfic is just a step towards that. However, if there's an easier way to listen to the fanfic without having to download it as an epub, I'd be interested to know. That being said, I still prefer to download and listen to it on my phone since that's what I'm accustomed to. If anyone has any advice or solutions to these issues, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone, I've got a chrome oven ([Moulinex Optimo OX4848](https://www.amazon.es/dp/B06XGTZND6)) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won't budge. I've tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading to rusting underneath. The trickiest spots are on the top of the oven, and I'm wondering if it's safe to turn the oven over to let some steaming water loosen up those burnt spots. What would you all recommend as the best way to thoroughly clean those difficult burnt-on spots without damaging the chrome plating? I want to get it really clean without risking damage to the oven surface itself. Any specific products or techniques you have used that worked well for this? I'm in Spain, so I'd appreciate recommendations for specific products that I can find in local supermarkets (all the products available in Spanish supermarkets are in soysuper.com).

Here are some of the best tips for teeth whitening: 1. Use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The best electric toothbrushes for whitening are the Goby brush and the Oral-B 7000[1]. 2. Get a professional tooth whitening treatment. This involves the application of a high concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide onto the teeth[1]. 3. Use custom whitening gel trays. These trays are made and custom-fitted by your dentist based on unique impressions of your teeth[1]. 4. Apply whitening strips[1]. 5. Use baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth[5][7]. 6. Try oil pulling[1]. 7. Practice good oral hygiene[1]. 8. Regular dental checkups are essential[1]. 9. Prevent teeth stains caused by food[1]. 10. Quit smoking & tobacco use[1][3]. 11. Consider getting veneers for a more permanent solution[1]. As for UV light, it's not recommended for teeth whitening. Studies have shown that UV light does not provide long-term effects and may harm oral tissues, create a greater possibility for teeth sensitivity through dehydration, and put patients at risk of high levels of radiation to sensitive areas[2][4][6][8]. The use of UV light for teeth whitening can be four times more dangerous than sunbathing and can cause toothaches, mouth infections, stomach problems, and nerve damage[8]. In-office treatments that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide gel and UV light are considered safe and effective when performed by a professional, but at-home UV light kits are not recommended due to the potential for user error and damage[6][10]. Before starting any teeth-whitening process at home, it's recommended to talk with your dentist to see what they may recommend for your specific goals[7].

I'm curious if consuming sodium bicarbonate or Eno fruit salt could alleviate discomfort after eating a cheese pizza. Edit: After reading some enlightening responses, I'm uncertain about the specific element causing my issues—whether it's the cheese, sauce, or bread. I can consume each component separately without any problems. However, when I eat pizza, I often experience sluggish digestion, especially if it's close to bedtime, leading to a burning sensation in the morning. I suspect it might be acid reflux triggered by a substantial meal. Perhaps a short walk after eating could help speed up digestion.

I have [a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans](https://www.amazon.es/dp/B06VWD6XSV) that I've used for a while. The coating on them says "Teflon Innovations without PFOA". Recently I've noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off. I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don't want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated! [](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OcTI9g8SL._SL1600_.jpg)

I'm looking for an Android app that allows my household to easily share and edit a grocery/pantry list. It would be great if the app could: - Allow multiple people to view and edit grocery and pantry lists - Automatically add items to the grocery list when they drop below a set minimum quantity in the pantry list - Send notifications when the list is updated by someone - Allow users to add expiration dates for fridge/pantry items, and provide reminders when items are close to expiring Some other useful features would be: - Barcode scanning to quickly add items - Categorization for where items are stored (pantry, fridge, freezer etc) Does an app like this exist for Android? I haven't been able to find one that has all the functions I'm looking for. If you know of one, please let me know! Or if there are any that come close I'd love to check them out. Making grocery lists and keeping the kitchen stocked feels like a constant chore, so anything to make it smoother would be great. Previously I used a Matrix group chat and currently I'm using Our Groceries Shopping List.

The best way to freeze and thaw bread dough for later use is as follows: 1. Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and allow it to prove[1]. 2. Knock the dough back, shape it into rolls or a loaf, and freeze it on a lightly greased baking tray or loaf tin[1]. 3. Once frozen, remove the dough from the tin/tray, wrap it tightly in cling film or seal it in a freezer bag, and date the wrapped dough[1]. Consume the dough within 6 months[1]. 4. When you're ready to use the dough, remove the packaging, place it on an oiled baking tin/tray, and cover it with a damp tea towel[1]. 5. Allow the dough to thaw and rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size and is light and puffy[1]. 6. Be careful not to overprove the dough. Bake the bread according to your recipe instructions, but you may need to bake it slightly longer (by an additional 10-15 minutes)[1]. Remember to store the dough in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality when thawing and baking.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a way to save content from the websites I visit manually or automatically, and then perform full-text searches exclusively within the saved content. Additionally, it would be great if there's a feature for adding tags, flair, or labels to categorize the saved content by topic.

I'd love to hear about any apps, browser extensions, or other solutions that could make organizing and searching through my saved web content more efficient. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you prefer having many tabs open and want to group or stack them, there are several browsers and extensions that can help you manage your tabs effectively. For browsers, Vivaldi is highly recommended due to its integrated tab management features, such as lazy loading of tabs, hibernating background tabs, and tab stacking. It also allows you to save your open tabs in a session and tile tabs that you need side by side[1][3][9]. Opera is another browser that is known for its advanced inbuilt tabs management features, including a feature known as Opera One workspace, which can handle many tabs without any issues[3]. If you prefer to stick with Firefox, there are several extensions that can enhance your tab management experience: 1. **Workona**: This extension is designed to help you organize your tabs and documents by project. It also auto-saves tabs so you won't lose your work. Workona also offers a tab suspender for Firefox, which allows you to auto-suspend tabs or pause them manually to reduce memory usage[2][7][9]. 2. **Simple Tab Groups**: This extension allows you to create, modify, and quickly change tab groups. It also supports multiple windows and integrates with Firefox Multi-Account Containers[6][8][10]. 3. **Tab Session Manager**: This extension allows you to save and restore the state of windows and tabs. It also supports automatic saving and cloud sync[4]. 4. **Tab Center Redux**: This extension features a vertical listing of your tabs on the left side of your browser window, allowing you to organize your work from there[2]. 5. **OneTab**: This extension 'bookmarks' tabs and saves them in an editable list, which can be useful for clearing tabs to have a fresh browser when working[6]. 6. **Auto Tab Discard**: This extension increases browser speed and reduces memory load when you have numerous open tabs[4]. Remember to choose the browser or extension that best suits your needs and preferences.

I'm curious if there are any discussion platforms out there that fall between Reddit and image boards in terms of structure and moderation. The main thing I'm looking for is a platform that organizes discussions by user-created tags instead of communities or subreddits. This would allow more flexibility in categorizing topics. A tag system could hopefully make it easier to filter out or avoid content you don't want to see. This could include topics like graphic violence, abuse, self-harm, pornography, hate speech, politics, religion, phobias, anything related to past traumas, etc. I know some communities allow you to filter by flair, but I'm imagining a more customizable tag filtering system to really tailor what you do and don't see. Does a platform with this kind of tag-based organization and filtering already exist?

I just listened to [this AI generated audiobook](https://youtube.com/watch?v=t0xjyW22wN4) and if it didn't say it was AI, I'd have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects... The last I'd heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry's voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it's clearly advanced incredibly fast. You'd expect more buzz for something that went from detectable as AI to indistinguishable from humans so quickly. How is it that no one is talking about AI generated audiobooks and their rapid improvement? This seems like a huge deal to me.

I use different web interfaces to access Gmail, Hotmail, ProtonMail, Disroot, etc. However, I would like to use a single client to receive all my emails. Which desktop programs would you recommend for Linux, and which apps would you recommend for Android? I need them to support all of these email boxes. From what I've read around here, most people recommend Thunderbird for Linux, Mutt for power users, and K-9 Mail for Android. However, the first thing I noticed when opening K-9 Mail is that it doesn't support Hotmail accounts.

## Beginning the Project with Learning Goals In the summer of 2018, I started a project called Joshuto to learn Rust. At first, I considered learning C++, but became interested in Rust and decided to build something in it instead. While the main goal was for me to learn Rust, over the past four years it has grown into a much larger open source project with many contributors. I wanted to share some of my experiences and lessons learned along the way. ## What Joshuto Is and Early Development I describe Joshuto as a ranger-like terminal file manager written in Rust. For those unfamiliar, ranger is another terminal file manager that makes navigating files and folders in the terminal extremely fast and efficient. The interface usually consists of three columns - the parent directory, the current directory, and a preview of the next directory or file. You can navigate with arrow keys or vim keys, select/cut/copy/paste files, create new tabs and directories, rename files, and more - like a normal GUI file manager. Joshuto also supports bulk file renaming across multiple selected files. My goal was to learn Rust by challenging myself to build a replacement for ranger that matched all my use cases. I decided to use the ncurses library in Rust since I had experience with ncurses-based terminal programs in the past. I quickly built out a UI to display the current and parent directories, added logic to handle different key presses, custom remappings and themes, and background threads for cut/copy jobs. Under the hood, I used a HashMap to store directory contents instead of a tree structure, which was harder to implement efficiently in Rust. ## Reflecting on Design Choices and Major Refactors Of course, nobody writes perfect code on the first try. Over the years I've had to do some major refactors due to early design decisions that didn't age well. One of the biggest was switching from ncurses to tui-rs. Ncurses is very primitive without high level abstractions, making reusable code difficult. I could never get things like windows or panels working well, and ncurses can have inconsistent wide character support leading to compile issues for some users. It also caused a lot of screen flickering from refreshing the entire screen. Moving to tui-rs improved the codebase drastically and adoption rate, at the cost of deleting a lot of existing code. This migration took about a week in February 2020 after putting it off for 2 years. Another refactor was removing the fs-extra library I used for cutting/copying files. Although elegant, it wasn't efficient - doing unnecessary copies and deletions instead of renames. I wrote a custom implementation to directly rename when possible. There were challenges around handling permissions and edge cases, but it improved performance substantially. ## Lessons Learned Some key lessons I learned: - Be pragmatic in your technology choices - don't force a library or design that isn't working well. The cost of refactoring later is worth avoiding longer term issues. - Write in idiomatic Rust - avoid fighting the language and leverage its strength like enums for event handling. - Performance matters more than it may seem at first. Do profiling and optimize bottlenecks. - Listen to your users and their pain points to guide development. Their diverse environments and use cases will reveal flaws in your thinking. - Open source is extremely rewarding. Seeing others use and contribute to your project is an amazing feeling. This has been an incredible learning experience. While a ton of work, I'm proud of the project Joshuto has become and still very motivated to keep improving it. I encourage anyone interested in Rust or open source to give it a try!

Here is a command to create a temporary directory for your user that will hold files for 90 days since their last modification date: ```bash mkdir ~/tmp chmod 700 ~/tmp find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete ``` This will: - Create a directory called `~/tmp` owned by your user - Set permissions on it so only you have access - Run `find` daily to delete any files older than 90 days inside the `~/tmp` directory To automate the `find` command, you can add it to your crontab by running: ``` crontab -e ``` And adding: ``` 0 0 * * * find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete ``` This will run the `find` command every day at midnight to clean up files older than 90 days in `~/tmp`. The `~/tmp` directory will now persist and hold files for 90 days since their last modification date before being automatically deleted.

To make a bunch of Python functions executable from anywhere in Manjaro Linux, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a directory for your scripts: You can create a directory named `bin` in your home directory by running the following command in the terminal: ``` mkdir ~/bin ``` 2. Add the directory to your PATH: You need to add the `bin` directory to your PATH environment variable so that the shell can find your scripts. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell profile file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`): ``` export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ``` 3. Make your scripts executable: You need to make your Python scripts executable so that you can run them from the command line. You can do this by adding a shebang line at the beginning of your script and making the script executable using the `chmod` command. For example, if your script is named `myscript.py`, you can add the following shebang line at the beginning of your script: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python ``` Then, you can make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal: ``` chmod +x ~/bin/myscript.py ``` After following these steps, you should be able to run your Python scripts from anywhere in the terminal by simply typing the name of the script (e.g., `myscript.py`) and pressing Enter. The shell will automatically find the script in the `bin` directory and execute it using the Python interpreter.

Here is a step-by-step estimate of the amount of glucose an average male consumes in an hour: 1. Estimate the person's basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the minimum number of calories needed to sustain vital bodily functions at rest. For a male of average height and weight, the BMR is approximately 1,800 calories per day. 2. Divide the BMR by 24 hours to get the hourly energy expenditure. 1,800 / 24 = 75 calories per hour. 3. Glucose provides about 4 calories per gram. So if all calories came from glucose, the person would use about 18 grams per hour (75 calories / 4 cal/g = 18 g). 4. However, the body uses a mix of nutrients for energy, not just glucose. Glucose may provide around 50% of resting metabolic calories. 5. Therefore, if 50% of the 75 calories per hour are from glucose, that equals 37.5 calories from glucose per hour. 6. With 4 calories per gram of glucose, 37.5 calories equals about 9 grams of glucose consumed per hour (37.5 cal / 4 cal/g = 9 g). In summary, a rough estimate is that an average male at rest consumes approximately 9 grams of glucose per hour to meet 50% of basal metabolic energy requirements. This will vary based on the individual's exact weight, body composition, and metabolic rate.
