  • I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I’m looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don’t want to have to use Meta’s apps on my phone.

    From what I’ve read so far, it seems like it’s going to be the most convoluted install process I’ll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I’m excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I’ve been putting it off :P



  • I’m actually friends with one of queens mentioned in the article! These people are honestly so brave, every drag queen I know has received so many death threats in the past two years.

    Last year, a couple of local queens I know were hosting a music festival, and a man was overheard heading into the venue saying “if those fucking f*gs come out on stage I’m leaving to get my gun”. Thankfully he was arrested, but talk about terrifying. And yet these queens keep on fighting publicly for what’s right.





  • You don’t have to be prescribed estrogen to have bloodwork done! I definitely think you should seek it out if you go the DIY route.

    OP’s not asking for advice on what to do with her therapist, she’s asking for advice regarding DIY HRT. IMO it’s not really our place to question why she might make that choice for herself.








  • Blaming your fellow queers for your oppression, that’s so incredibly lame.

    I’m sure you are the perfect expression of queerness, and if every gay were like you, the bigots would stop hating us. /s

    Like what are you even proposing? That in order to be an effective queer activist, you need to be okay with misgendering? I feel your rage, but please direct it towards the fascists taking away our rights instead of bashing other queers. This kind of community in-fighting in what the bigots want, we need queer solidarity right now.


  • I was having issues getting my Android device to use my local DNS server over VPN, what worked for me was setting it up through RethinkDNS. There’s a setting to prevent DNS leaks by capturing all traffic on port 53 and directing it to the DNS server you set. It doesn’t feel like an elegant solution but hey, it works.

    Note, you’ll have to make sure your private DNS setting is off, in the internet section of the system settings.
