Woke a while before the alarm, 5:20? but was drowsing again at the alarm.
I dreamed we were in DC, still living there it seemed? I had parked the one car some blocks away, in a little single houses neighborhood next to blocks of nice apartments, so, not sketchy. But I had to cross some sketchyish 'hoods on foot to retrieve it. When I got to where I thought the car was parked, it wasn't there, and I had a sinking feeling - but then I realized I was a block west of where I had thought I was, so the car was almost certainly just a block east. And then the alarm, so I never got to confirm the car was where I left it.

Apparently I skipped supplements again yesterday :/
29g soy/cocoa bev, creatine, phytosterol ~11:20a
- Whey or soy protein isolate bev, alone on an empty stomach, spikes plasma amino acids within 30-60m

- or maybe not, as Mike apparently has nothing to do but camp out in the kitchen all day
Whey protein alone (e.g. protein shake w/minimal fat/fiber) on an empty stomach is about the fastest way to get amino acids into the bloodstream. That said, the body is very efficient at managing its amino acid "pool". The crusty old advice about pounding fast-uptake protein immediately after a workout ... is considered mythical in modern sport nutrition. It could conceivably be a concern for Olympic-tier bodybuilders, but at my level it's more important to just get ample protein, spread out throughout the day - i.e., a normal meal cycle.

Proton Drive Sync evaluation
Feeling my way forward to a Grand Unification of personal files across local storage and cloud services, the big question about files on Proton Drive is - in the event of a catastrophic internet outage, will Proton Docs and Sheets files be editable, or at least readable, with offline software?
1. Have a Proton Docs word-processing file and a Sheets file in P.Drive
2. Install the Proton Drive app for your computer OS/architecture
3. Let the P.Drive app sync the cloud repo to a local folder, e.g. %USER%\My Documents\Pdrive
4. The local copy of a Proton doc/sheet gets filename extension ".protondoc" or ".protonsheet"
5. The P.Drive app installer registered P.Drive as the handler for .protondoc and .protonsheet files
6. Disable the network interface: unplug a wired connection or turn off wireless adapter
7. On double-clicking a local copy of a .protondoc/.protonsheet file, the app calls the OS default browser;
- but browsing fails because of course now you're not connected to the Internet.
8. R-click : Open With... Notepad++ shows nothing, because these are empty (0-byte) placeholder files.
Conclusions:
- If Proton shuts down, or your ISP blocks it? there's no local backup of Proton native-format file contents.
- If you open a remote XLSX (or presumably DOCX) file within the PC app, it makes a Proton-native copy for viewing/editing. Ergo, any changes won't be backed up in the XLSX file on sync; they'll only be reflected in the Proton-native copy.
In theory, the Collabora Office (LibreOffice fork) Android app should dodge Proton's file-format boondoggle:
- Standardize on LibreOffice for ODT / ODS editing on local PC
- Sync to Proton's cloud Drive service with Proton's PC sync app
- Collabora can't edit Proton cloud-hosted files directly; trips over Proton's end-to-end encryption
- SO, sync the cloud repo to fon local storage using the mobile Proton Drive app
- Then use Collabora mobile app to edit fon-local copies, which will then sync back to cloud.
- NextCloud, OwnCloud and Seafile offer smoother Collabora integration (WOPI live-editing); but self-hosting a NextCloud instance is way more hoops than I want to jump through for this initiative.
Bottom line? Proton Office Suite (Docs, Sheets, ?) is just getting started. The P.Docs platform is very basic compared to G.Docs: can't even tune line/paragraph spacing; no outline-level navigation features; lacks ODT/ODS support.
