Looking for folks living in Japan who are on hormone replacement therapy. Need advice.

Hello World! I'm just going to start by posting the illustration from which my avatar and banner come, it's called 'Aegean Princess.' Any other fantasy or children's illustrators on here?

Good news everybody: Tusky 1.3 will be released in two days!
If any translators want to check if their language is up to date, now would be a good time: https://github.com/Vavassor/Tusky

Wherein Andrew Tanenbaum writes an open letter to Intel about MINIX3 being used in the ME and fails to call them on their shit.

I program in #Perl, #Haskell, #Fortran, #C++,#Python.

@wim_v12e is my main account, I use it mostly for the non-technical stuff. The computer stuff usually goes on @wim_v12e.

Hi I am Konrad. Some people call me Conny. I am a 27-years old software developer based in Vienna, Austria.
On monday (1 week!) I start my new job at a big business group & I am really exited. Previously I only worked for small startups.
In my freetime I code opensource stuff like @Tusky, or donotlink.it.
Sometimes I also paint with watercolors, maybe I will share some paintings on here later.

#introductions

I'm Theresa, a PhD student in Computer Science, a network geek, a queer #bisexual feminist and activist. Other relevant identities include cis, white, femme, poly.

On here I often write about my research, tech stuff that I came across and that I find interesting (like on #WiFi #opensource #Linux).
I try to make my posts accessible to people who don't feel like they already know everything - Please tell me if I succeed. :)

But, in searching for it I stumbled on "The Lamb will slaughter the Lion" by Margret Killjoy, which is not really a whodunit, but is still quite a nice little book filled with lots of queer anarchists, demon deers and, well, murder.

There are a few pacing issues and I'm not really sure about the "villain(s)"m but I'd still recommend it. (And it seems there will be sequels, so we'll see how that goes.)

For a while now, I've been looking for something that I feel should exist but, AFAICT so far, doesn't:

A #whodunit or #hardboiled detective/#crime story, but set in the #anarchist/far left/squatting scene.

It seems so obvious: Close-knit community with lots of reasons not to involve regular authorities, ripe with conflicts both personal and political, big questions about what justice does look or can look like, cultures of both solidarity and self-reliance, ...

Sadly I have yet to find it.

How would you optimize a Mastodon-compatible server intended for single-user instances?
