Artemis' Blog

Phew, just in time for April 2022 ^^ I've been sorta into writing some, uh, stories recently?

Turns out we had a post t'least once every month so far since December 2020 (n actually every month since we started back in Jul 2020 barring Nov 2020).

As you may have noticed, our Matrix server has been down recently.

So uh, we set up Nitter, over at tw.artemislena.eu.

So… TL;DR: We lost all of your data created after 28th November 2021 at midnight… No, we probably can't get it back for you… Yes, I am terribly sorry, this affected us as well… a lot… anyway… Matrix data should be mostly recoverable, we hope, except for p…

So… first of all, despite the possibly technical sounding title, this isn't a post on programming, networking, or the like… If you came here expecting that… sorry to disappoint you… This is on my (and actually our) personal takes on nosology, clinical psy…

T.: We're already hot ^^ fc17: I beg to differ… T.: Look at that butt. fc17: Being hot isn't just about butts… T.: And that hair. fc17: It's more… holistic… Listing individual body parts won't get you anywhere… T.: What'f I list alla them?

So we recently stumbled over this project over here, and while the idea seemed pretty based, somea the answers, uh, might need some… adjustments.

So, as ya might know, we're trans, and we've been on E2 (estradiol), since the 30tha August now, and we started on cypro (CPA, an antiandrogen) on Thursday this week.

[Context: Wikipedia says schizophrenia lowers life expectancy by about 20 years] fc17: So schizophrenics die more often… T.: What?

Yesterday, I stepped back from my role as a moderator in Techlore's Matrix rooms and left all of them.

L: Why did I call you F. instead of FC17?

Ah, bathroom thoughts ^^ So, we came up with this: Basically, others like putting, yk, comics, or short stories or whatever on their sites, but those require like, writing some fiction usually, and that's not ideal for us cause imagining a character in our

There useda be a rickroll here but not anymore since we're sunsetting Invidious.

Hey there, thought I'd write this one.

I have thought about this for a while now, and after collecting most of my considerations in a private chat with some other people, I realized I could as well make a blog post of this… T.: I realized that.

Normally, neither I nor Laura deal with political issues, given Tanith and FantasyCookie17 are occupied with these enough for one body.

So, this's basically a continuation of my last post, so maybe read that one first ‒ or don't, this one's less sensitive or whatever.

I've talked about wanting to write this article in Bloggers Gathering for quite a while now, so, here it is.

Just wanted to let you all know there was this petition here, basically aiming to abolish the outdated TSG (Transsexuellengesetz, "transsexual law") in favour of a more modern self-determination law.

You may have already seen me on the last post.

L: I wrote a new post here, amending some of the things here, but uh, do still read this post for reference (as in, read both posts before you create or modify a key or any config files) Update: This post explains how ya can get the public key from the sm…

Domain I bought the domain artemislena.eu in a sale at netcup.

English Recently, my psychologist, after hearing about the amount of trouble I went through with my gender transition, especially in finding out whom to talk to in order to for medical and legal measures, suggested to me that I could try to start a sort of

Update: The joke has worn off, there are more interesting and elaborate parody religions, such as Pastafarianism, and so on… The link mentioned is dead and the menu entry has been removed.

Today, someone in one of the rooms I moderate had to get banned for spreading homophobia and transphobia.

The original title included a short list of such positions, including gender nihilism.

I still have no idea what actually was going on… Most of what I know is in this issue.

I have seen the mistake of confusing the two concepts at least one time, and it is probably not uncommon in cultures that are rather far away from both of them (such as, for instance, at time of writing, the U.S.A.).

This is likely going to be my last post this year, though maybe not my last post this week… Sounds strange, doesn't it?

After it was been pointed out ot me that having a short rule set of poorly categorized and elaborated terms might be inferior to a full code of conduct, I decided to write one.

Seriously, do not.

Given the large amount of time that has passed since my last post, I thought I would just give you a small update on what happened recently.

Update: The project has been abandoned as it was quite ineffective, it seemed.

Just a quick note - I offer some (currently just static) web services at the according link in the menu.

Anyone who is a member in one of my rooms should have noticed by now: Something went terribly wrong.

I have been using Gitlab for quite a while now, however, I was never too happy with it. uBlock Origin found some tracking elements on it, and it is very slow… I have been considering Sourcehut, however, there are several things I do not like: It may keep…

I talked about Qubes OS in my post on secure operating systems.

Someone shared my most recent post on Tildes.

Update: After quite a few comments on Tildes, I wrote a follow-up post.

I do not use Qubes OS anymore.

Update: The project moved from Gitlab to Codeberg; you will find it here.

I have now uploaded all source code I wrote that I use to build this website!

For those who do not get the reference: In very active forums and news sites with comments such as ComputerBase (which reminds me, I have not visited that site for probably months now, and it was not that bad after all), it kind of used to be (and probably
