New Map Men!!
MH-, dysphoria
Feeling pretty dysphoric today. Hate that I don't feel that I can do anything with my hair due to the balding spot on the crown.
Also got misgendered multiple times this weekend gone, with no one other than myself making any corrections, which didn't exactly make me feel fantastic.
Sad that just trying to be myself is so expensive to start with.
Look, I'm just gonna say this and add my voice to the others who are saying the same basic things.
I don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut that Microsoft decided that your Windows 10 laptop shouldn't work anymore. If you can't use it, do not throw it away. Find a Linux nerd. We're out there. There are lots of us. Find one of us and give us the computer. We'll use it. We'll put it to work. We'll make it work for someone else.
Do not throw it away, because goddess above what a waste.

International Pronouns Day happens each year on the third Wednesday of October. International Pronouns Day raises awareness of respecting, sharing, and educating about pronouns.
You can find our pronoun resource here: http://transactual.org.uk/pronouns/ We created it to go in email signatures to explain why people choose to share their pronouns in emails.

Our last workshop for the morning is "From Disk to Digital: Techniques for Imaging and Analysing Floppy Disks" by Leontien Talboom at #nttw9
Because there may be a few #vintage computer nerds here 😄, here's a story of how #BBC #Wales handled the decision, for the 40th anniversary of #Eastenders earlier this year, to show the BBC1 globe ident as broadcast in 1985.
Instead of simply using a recording of the ident (which was only on screen for a few seconds) as other regions did, they instead managed to dust off & use the original signal generation hardware that had been sitting in a basement corner!

Wow, this person was like "fuck graphics APIs I'm going to render a triangle on-screen using only memory mapped GPU registers"
udp2raw is a free software that set up a tunnel that converts UDP traffic into encrypted UDP, FakeTCP, or ICMP traffic using raw sockets, allowing you to bypass UDP firewalls or work around unstable UDP environments. This is useful when your ISP block WireGuard or OpenVPN or any other such tunnels using the DPI. This tool is useful for IT professionals and Linux/Unix sysadmins.

If you know more such tools/projects let me know below in the comment section.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too
It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away
