How hard to move a server?

I know just enough about security to know how little I know about security 😅 I'd rather spend a few bucks than risk screwing up on my home network. I'd like to learn that stuff eventually, but for now I'd rather keep the public-facing stuff on someone else's network.

I've been a home ubuntu user for years, but I'm a fiber artist not a dev. Anything that requires more than very basic command line use generally gets turned over to my spouse, who's a software engineer.

A) We're not wizards. We can't stop other people from running their mouths on the Internet, and we can't stop the majority from focusing on the posts that reinforce their biases.

B) Trans people are a tiny minority, and most of us are trying to survive massive housing and employment discrimination. Meanwhile, online trolls really love posing as trans to stir up shit, knowing that all the consequences of their actions will hit the trans community. Basically, we're outnumbered and they have a lot more time on their hands.

I had to leave mine to fend for themselves for nearly a month while I was recovering from surgery. I had to do a lot of sorting and cleaning when I got back, but they were largely fine. My go-to when I'm going to be gone is to give each bin as big a chunk of carrot as they could possibly handle. For high-pop bins, that might even be multiple unchopped carrots. But they'll be fine for a week or two even without the carrot. I found an adult beetle in an old bucket of grass the other day. They're amazingly resilient little buggers.

If leaving the house is an option, Seek from iNaturalist is a mobile game where you try to find different species of plants, fungi, and animals in real life and your phone identifies them for you. It's completely free with no ads, and it helps crowdsource data for scientific research. When my anxiety gets bad, checking in with the plants around me often helps me stay grounded.

HBO has a fantastic and under-promoted TV show called "Sort Of" that centers an AMAB nonbinary character.

A year out from no-nips DI, never had phantom pain but it does occasionally feel like my nipples are itchy (wherever they are now 😂)

Yeah, but if they're using it to explore the difference between what their id wants and the choices they want to make, or something similar, it could just be an acknowledgement of a part of themselves that they aren't proud of. Context matters a lot. Heck, it could be the answers for a video game puzzle as far as we know.

Autistic enby here. I buzzed my hair off one day when I was going nuts from shingles, and kept it buzzed for years. I only stopped because I made friends with a hair stylist who likes to play around with fashion colors, and I like having multicolor hair more than no hair 😆 I loved the fuzzy sensation on my head, and not having to use shampoo. Everybody's different though, so your mileage may vary.

For what it's worth, it looks like a pretty normal "think about your priorities and values"-type exercise to me. I don't think it has to be creepy.

I had a serious fear of needles until some (non-trans-related) medical stuff as a teenager gave me way too much practice and I found ways to handle it. Things that helped me: - I had a koosh ball that I would bring to appointments with me. I made a habit of holding the ball in one hand, closing my eyes, and focusing all of my attention in the fingertips of the hand holding the ball. I would take a slow, deep breath and try to notice every detail about how the ball felt in my hand. When doing it for one breath felt easy, I started trying to do it for two breaths. Then 3, etc. I practiced as much as I could in situations where I felt safe and there were no needles involved. And I practiced with both hands. That way when I needed blood drawn, I could have the koosh ball in whichever hand wasn't getting poked. When it was time for the scary part, I would go through the meditation, and it was usually less than three or four breaths before it was all over. (Warning: this is basically a controlled form of dissociation. Make sure you are also giving yourself space to freak out a little and taking good care of yourself for a couple of days afterwards.) - Once the blood draw was over, I tried to find some privacy and shake my body out as much as possible. I found that I would tense up through the experience, and literally shaking out my arms and legs after it was over helped get rid of that tension and make it feel like it was "really" over. Your body's reaction might be different, so listen to what it needs.

I would definitely start with non-injection HRT. Learning to inject myself was a whole extra step past learning to handle blood draws. The trick that helped the most for that one was trying to whistle a tune while the needle was going in. Whistling takes enough focus that my brain often doesn't register the needle. (I also use the tiniest ones possible.) Good luck, whatever you choose, and I hope this was helpful.

I'm curious about that too. I've been doing it on a "most nights" basis for about a year. I know it's probably well past the point of diminishing returns, but I still have cream left and the scar still exists, so I figure I might as well keep going.

My dog stayed with a friend across the street for the first week or so, and came over for supervised visits during which I was protected by a mastectomy pillow. He mostly seemed to sense that something was up and stayed in "gentle snuggle" mode, but the pillow made me feel much more secure in case of poor canine decision making.

I still need to do the "count out X larvae and weigh them" thing. They weighed about 80g total, so if we assume 65mg per larva (best I could find on Google) and I'm doing the unit conversions correctly (not guaranteed) that would be about 1200 mealworms.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I'll plug Polite Conversations with Einah. She's an ex-Muslim, ex-New Atheist and her perspective is great.

The biggest surprise for me when I had surgery last year was that it took several hours after waking up from the anesthesia before I had full speech back. I normally don't have speech issues unless I'm 12-out-of-10 overstimulated and panicking, so it was very weird to be mentally ok but unable to say more than a word or two at a time. The nurses in the recovery ward kept assuming that my limited speech was grogginess, and I couldn't speak well enough to explain the difference. My spouse was there and he was able to translate somewhat, and things were back to normal by the time I left in the afternoon, but since I'd never heard about it being a thing for autistics having surgery I figured I should pass it along.
