It’s scar tape! My best friend just had top surgery and was applying it and we had a chuckle.

👀

I mean they aren’t not that, but sometimes they just hit, I prefer them frozen…

Mostly agree, but my thinkpad x220t with the full spin and flip screen and stylus is just fun to use!!

Isn’t this the original canon? Wasn’t there an edit in the 90s or early 00s that changed it? I feel like I remember downloading the original cut project that went around a while ago and in it Han shoots first. I think it was called the “Despecialized Edition”.

Hard agree on crocs being optimal footwear. I only add socks situationally.

This and also being paid by weight for putting trash in public bins.

I rock climb as my job (route setter). I find full on tucking to be really rough for being active multiple days in a row (4 day 10hr shifts work week). As such I layer comfy underwear of choice (in your case something geared toward hiking), then “booty shorts” or whatever. Like spandex type things and then a pair of snug but not tight joggers from Prana. If I want to add leggings for warmth, I’ll put those on first and then still layer the shorts and pants as I find my gear and friction on my legs will try to slide the leggings down. If I want to do just leggings I can get away with putting the shorts under the leggings but for climbing and hiking it turns into a lot of adjusting.

I guess it’s worth noting that I am generally not a super sweaty person, like definitely well below the average. Especially coupled with my smell getting even less offensive on hrt, I’m sure I’m able to get away with a lot tucking wise and just smell in general.

I like Prana’s clothes, even though they can be a tad pricey, particularly their more technical pants. I don’t think they do underwear, and the only other spots I can think of aren’t really companies I love supporting anymore (Patagonia and REI). I’ve found Popflex leggings and shorts because they don’t have a front seam, which is a dream for tucking.

I get this more and more often!! Even just passing by a mirror the other day I had to double back because I caught a glimpse of a woman looking back at me!! 💜

Honestly I want a Linux phone, but the scene needs to mature a bit. I’d also like a physical keyboard, so I’m even more limited in my options. LilyGo just released something I’d try, but it sold out almost instantly. Good call on the signal transfer, though I wish better platforms were catching on. Having to use a phone number to sign up kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. Graphene and Postmark are on my short list of things to try if I end up on an android device.

To be totally honest I didn’t read your entire post, but just from your intro I think we are in similar situations. ISP router, low costs, using only the hardware you have around. I’ve solved a lot of stuff with Tailscale. None of my services are public facing and instead I connect to them over Tailscale (could be replaced with wireguard).

The wall I’m hitting you or maybe others could help with, is accessing my services from sub domains of a single Tailscale address rather than having to type port numbers for everything. I know this involves a reverse proxy and DNS (I use PiHole for that), but I’m stuck trying to configure the two in a way that actually works. Once I finally ditch iOS for good I’ll probably just sync a hosts file between all my devices using Syncthing to help streamline the DNS situation.

The token cis gay guy in my AFK friend group 😆

Also non-binary on feminizing hormones! Sometimes it feels like a tricky spot to exist in, but I can’t agree more that learning and experimenting with language has helped me settle into that fluidity!

I honestly had something very similar happen timing wise. A breakup that coincided with me starting hrt. It was a rough combo, but similarly finding roommates that I trust with my whole self has helped a ton.

Huh, good to know. I know of a company that makes tuck kits and tape that uses it in their logo. I feel like I remember reading a post on their blog about the history of the symbol that included trans and gnc folk. I’ll see if I can track it down, but I had also thought it was just used for gay men in Nazi Germany when I first learned about that period in school.

Deal.

Yeah, Tailscale!! It’s a very nicely packaged front end for Wireguard, which is a “mesh vpn” if I’m remembering my terms properly. Basically makes all my devices think they are on the same network at all times, and provides convenient names to use to connect to them.

I self host sunshine and use the moonlight client on iOS for my remote desktop. It’s meant for in home game streaming, but using Tailscale I can connect from anywhere.

I wonder is something like “a mason jar full to the brim with wine” would do anything interesting. As someone else pointed out the training data for containers of wine is probably disproportionately biased toward stemmed wine glasses that are filled to about the standard restaurant pour.

I currently have Arch on my main rig because I like tinkering. NixOS on an old thinkpad for a super stable (in theory) portable experience, AlmaLinux on a single board computer for a basic home server, and Bazzite (in the near future) on an old gaming laptop as my TV computer. I’m also not a femboy so I suppose what you said doesn’t reeeaaaallly apply, but you definitely don’t need to be changing distros for anyone!!
