I have pretty much the same experience. It was especially bad in times where my mental state has been worse. You always have to remember, that its ok to take it slow and remind yourself about the things you did (as example: Bought youre first skirt, got some underwear, painted your nails for the first time, went out in Girl mode for the first time). I can also only recommend starting a diary. It really helps to be able to tell all the things you feel (and if its just a book). It can also serve you as a record you did and create a record for if you feel down a lot.

I second this. I would not recommend it, but getting stoned sometimes helps for Dysphoria. You should stay away from Drugs as a stopper for Dysphoria due to a bigger potential for addiction

As I already stated, AI is my last resort. If something doesn’t work because it has a logical flaw googeling won’t save me. So of course I debug it first, but if I get an Error I have no clue where it comes from no amount of debugging will fix the problem, because probably the Error occurred because I do not know better. I Am not that good of a coder and I Am still learning a lot on a regular basis. And for people like me AI is in fact quite usefull. It has basically become the replacement to pasting your code and Error into stack overflow (which doesn’t even work for since I always get IP banned when trying to sign up)

You can use AI to generate code, but from my experience its quite literally what you said. However, what I have to admit is, that its quite good at finding mistakes in your code. This is especially useful, when you dont have that much experience and are still learning. Copy paste relevant code and ask why its not working and in quite a lot of cases you get an explanation what is not working and why it isn’t working. I usually try to avoid asking an AI and find an answer on google instead, but this does not guarantee an answer.

It may have been with Alpine Linux. It has been a while since I saw it the last time.

Or it comes as a second low with an even higher peak at the end.

Sadly I dont have this Copypasta where someone explains to an Arch purist why his Distros is just Linux.

I will turn it into a general system for two reasons:

1: Because I know I can rewrite my old code in much better quality

2: Because this is something that I and my work colleagues may need regularly, so we dont have to rewrite it from scratch every time.

While that’s true and I do document my code, I still get the urge to rewrite big parts of it. In the end I will in fact rewrite it, but that’s because I want to turn the original version of the code into a more general system that I can then use for my future work/projects.

Then you never had to look at your old code (that tends to be of way worse quality than what you are currently coding due to improved skills) xD

:(

It may be possible, but I have no clue. It may also be, that the position of the router and the Laptop is important, but that’s probably something you would have to test.

Yeah sadly it is paywalled, but I have been lucky enough to get access to it through my university.

Heres what I found regarding your question in the article:

Fig 1 illustrates Pulse-Fi’s system architecture which consists of three main components: data collection using commodity Wi-Fi devices, a CSI signal processing pipeline, and a custom lightweight Long Short Term Memory neural network for heart rate estimation.

Fig 1:

And this is the Setup they used to collect the ESP-HR-CSI Dataset (left site) and the one that other researchers used to collect the E-Health Dataset (right side):

The parts on how they collected the data:

A. ESP-HR-CSI Dataset
We collected the ESP-HR-CSI dataset from seven participants (5 male, 2 female) in a room of a public indoor library. It was collected using two ESP32 devices, one as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. The sampling rate is 80 Hz, with a 20 MHz bandwidth with 64 subcarriers positioned at different distances. Each participant was measured at distances of 1,2 and 3 m for 5 minutes each. The participants sat in a chair between the devices and wore a pulse oximeter on their finger to collect ground-truth information as seen in

B. E-Health Dataset
The E-Health dataset [20] contains CSI collected from 118 participants (88 men, 30 women) in a controlled indoor environment measuring 3 m×4 m (Fig 4). The setup consists of a router set in the 5 GHz band at 80 MHz bandwidth as a transmitter, a laptop as receiver and a single-antenna Raspberry Pi 4B with NEXMON firmware for CSI data collection (234 subcarriers). Participants wore a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 for the ground truth.

Each participant performed 17 standardized positions or activities, with each position held for 60 seconds.

To me it sounds like, that they really just used standard WIFI to collect the data (this is especially true for the E-Health Dataset), since all the processing gets done on the Raspberry Pi.

Health data is extremely valuable. You can use it to serve more personalised ads or even use it to, as example, define prices for health insurance. When you combine it with lots of other data it becomes even more valuable. Also never forget, big corporations track literally everything. Why not add your heart rate.

The Paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/11096342/metrics#metrics

This is very cool and useful, but at the same time very concerning. While I see a lot of good use cases for this ranging from hospitals to stress recognition in animals I Am also quite scared, that big corporations will use this to spy on us. Luckily currently it is only possible to measure the pulse at about 3m, but it should be possible to increase the range. It may fall short when multiple persons are in detection range, but as far as I have read from the paper they did not test this.

Are you planning on using a separate draw and injection needle?

That’s something I did not have in mind, but its a good idea. I have not bought needles and syringes yet, but will keep that in mind.

Regarding Location I’m from Germany. For anything else I would say, that its better if you hit me up on Matrix (my Account is in my Bio)

Damn, that sucks. The Website is an absolute Masterpiece. I can only recommend it for anyone seriously considering HRT. Their introduction to HRT gives a very good overview over dosages and eventual risks and what to look out for. I gonna start reading some of the other articles too, to get even more info.

I’m still annoyed that my endo waitlist took over a year, so good call on starting DIY

Same here. I still need one document to get onto the waiting list (that is about one year). And then next Month I gonna try to get my bloodworm done and start DIY. I got my plans on what Dosages I want to take and after what period I will get my second blood testing done for knowing where Estrogen alone takes me, so I have an idea on how much Cryptoterane Acetate (I hope I spelled it right xD) I have to take to maximise T suppression. I gonna plan on going with 3mg weekly so that I Am circulating around 160-200 ng/ml (I absolutely love this simulator for estrogen intakes on transfemscience.org)

I sure hope you do Not use a non patched Xerox Workstation for it…

Explanation: They had a bug a few years ago where the scanners would alter numbers due to their compression algorithm.
