I really hate that these days when you just mindlessly strg+c and strg+v into somewhere else it'll link the contentent (e.g. Pictures) instead of copying them.

Just opened an old E-Mail that I hazily wrote using the #posteo webmailer and some of the pictures are no longer available because they linked to mastodon posts (unintentionally).

/me Note to self: Always screenshot stuff. Forget that "strg+c" and "right-click => copy-image" even exist.

Need to vent about the NHS displaying institutional ableism yet again, but no remaining spoons today :Sighing_Face:

Writing this post in the hopes it reminds us to do so when we next do have spoons.

note to self run "nohup nixos-rebuild switch" instead of just "nixos-rebuild switch". When it restarts the GUI it'll kill itself and leave you with a half-started system :P

And running it a 2nd time failed because of some dbus connectivity issue...

Workaround "systemctl stop user.slice" (or reboot) and then rerun it (both from tty1)

Note to self, don't cook with meat when sick. It just sucks having to throw away so much of it just because the body decided that it doesn't want any food after the first bite after all...

Note to self: Never trust your coworkers, not even the smart ones that usually know what they're doing. ALWAYS verify.

"reverse DNS is automatically created" - my ass. Apparently it isn't for us. Most likely we're missing permissions for it to work...

Note to self: The onboard SAS controller of this #supermicro mainboard does not support attaching disk arrays. Slotted in a Dell SAS HBA and it works like a charm. Everything detected first try...

Note to self, when building a (home lab) rack with generic rails instead of the ones the components originally shipped with, account for leaving exactly one gap hole between each of the components.

A 1-2mm rail does not fit in between 2HE servers/disk-arrays that are exactly 2HE. Especially not when you try to replicate this 3-4 times right next to each other.

Shit...

Note to self, I should have stuff to drink at home that do not depend upon having working tap water...

Notes to our future selves when they wake up

• You have a lot of positive qualities that you do not give yourselves credit for
• Your worth is not defined by how productive you are in the eyes of others
• Your struggles are real, and you're doing the best you can to deal with them
• Others genuinely like you, even if you don't understand why
• Māui catten snuggled up behind your back and fell asleep

#NoteToFutureSelf The recovery partition from #LineageOS ALSO honers the wipe userdata flag when you do "fastboot oem unlock" and had the phone boot into it instead of the normal os.

Lessons learned Nr. 2
LineageOS doing that wipe breaks the Stock ROM for whatever reason and it gets stuck in the boot animation afterwards...

Update driving licence and passport when possible.

The photo on those (pre-GAHT and hair removal) increasingly doesn't look like us any more 😅

We've come to a mixed realisation :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

A lot of folks taking gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):

• have a lot of misconceptions about it.
• have the misguided belief that their gender-affirming care provider should be trusted unquestioning to know what's best for them.
• don't know that there are different types of GAHT or that they have a choice in the type.

We know that we can write PSA posts here without issue to dispel myths and spread information, but if we want to reach a wider audience, we are pretty much gonna need to turn it into full articles and video content 🤔

However, the moment we do that, we're going to need to start being even more cautious about what we write or say, especially as:

• We don't want anti-trans people to become aware of certain resources.
• We may end up breaching terms and conditions of places like YouTube and Twitch.
• We may put ourselves at risk of breaking UK laws... or being treated as if we have, even if we haven't.
• We may end up risking crossing the streams between our work-profile and our online alias, which could increase the risk of being doxed or essentially becoming "persona non occupabile".

There's also the issue of us being a neurospicy disaster with unreliable executive function, who struggles with committing to any long-term projects... or even doing basic tasks sometimes 🥺🤦‍♀️ :AutismInfinitySymbol: :ADHD_Butterfly:

Note to self/selves: go through posts using the DIYHRT hashtag, then do any of:

• Answer questions.
• Boost where requested.
• Like posts.

#NoteToSelf #NoteToSelves #NoteToFutureSelf #NoteToFutureSelves #PleaseRememberToReadYourNotes

Really need to actually look up our notes tomorrow and write up posts. Need to write up:

• Rant about voice training survivorship bias.
• Rant about HRT being delayed for trans youth.

#NoteToSelf #NoteToFutureSelf #NoteToSelves #NoteToFutureSelves

Note to selves: write a vent post about survivorship bias in voice training.

Upgrading one of my #Django apps from 4.2.8 to 5.0.1 and ran into the following error in my tests:

"AttributeError: 'BlankChoiceIterator' object has no attribute '__len__'. Did you mean: '__le__'?"

Turns out this is an open issue (not just with django-countries TextChoices fields) & was able to successfully patch & upgrade with the workaround provided here:

Really great to find these issues documented clearly! #NoteToFutureSelf

#NoteToFutureSelf version 1.0.0 is when it goes to production #echoCTF 😂​
