Trans rights are gamer rights!

Essentially, more-or-less, broadly speaking, predominantly, etc. (for debatelords, that they may peper and solt it as they plese)

Direct message

Communists make hella stuff, second only maybe to anarchists. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

One thing I didn’t lose in my transition is my audacity

Loved this bit <3

I had a few ideas off the top of my head that might be useful.

  • Adam Savage’s guide to wearable magnifiers
  • For generating a wave, the PiFM project lets you use a first generation raspberry pi to transmit FM or AM from 0 - like 400 MHz at 5v, and all straight off an easy to attach to GPIO pin. Maybe you could fuck with the line voltage going into the pi a little, or use some kind of amp? Maybe even one of those cheap as dirt 8 watt Baofeng radios which can be hacked easily to cover a wide range of frequencies? From personal experience licking the antenna port stings quite a bit… :>
  • For holding the needles, I’m having a hard time getting an idea of what size they are but would some kind of oscilloscope probe do it?

    Particularly the little hook grabber ones?

On instances that do not use downvotes they aren’t counted when viewed from that instance.

I was still testing positive at day 14 so if you ask me even that is on the risky side

The typical distro’s installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don’t worry about that. I’m doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

Yes, easily done.
Open KDE partition manager
Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
Once it’s transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check “automatically mount on boot”

You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!
