DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. ‘Interactive Unified Portable Operating System’) is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.
It’s development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).
Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.
The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.
An archive of the DEMOS source code can found here: https://github.com/bpr97050/DEMOS There’s some interesting comments and mailing list archives in that repository as well. :)

Well, it finally happened. I don’t know how, but it did. My gender’s on the move again, and so I was thinking about it while taking a test. My brain somehow thought about my E dose and my upcoming blood test, and then it hit me.
I MISSED MY INJECTION
This explains a lot of what I’m feeling today, to be honest. Feeling “off” and now I’m exhausted.
“Injection” Day
I wish I had started at a high dose off the bat instead of fucking myself over on the first few crucial years with low and inconsistent doses.
I wish I was skinnier/more comfortable with my weight so I could feel fine gaining weight for HRT affects.
I sometimes wish I was just ace so I could have that as an excuse for my hang ups with physical intimacy.
weight
i feel you on the weight thing. i’ve tried putting on some kilos a few times to maybe speed up some effects, but it just makes me feel gross and big and I get cold feet almost instantly
Anyone just do a little eye makeup and lip gloss and that’s it? I’m looking at tutorials for the first time and it’s way too much. I’m not doing a full face with foundation and all that. Also, I work a manual labor job, outside in heat/rain, get sweaty, etc. How to do minimal eye makeup that also won’t smear everywhere if I get sweaty? Oh, I also have hooded eyes. @MusicOwl@hexbear.net @magi@hexbear.net
What kind of eye makeup do you want to do? For the longest lasting eyeliner, you want to use cream liner with a brush. Setting powder will also be your friend to reduce the effects of sweat accumulation.
For starting out I want to go with something “barely there”, like this:
I’m not going to be out at work for a long time, but outside of work I want to start really subtle, basically slowly turning the dial until I find something that works as a go-to.
pooing it and pooing it and pooing, it smell
i have so many incredible, dumb stories from tonight. i hope i remember them
Why are nice clothes so expensive?
Befriend women at that point in their life where they gain 10kg and decide to never lose it again, its how ive gotten most of my nice clothing, from family friends. Plus i feel like im basically a postmenopausal woman anyway and we have tons to talk and bond about
befriend middle-aged women to steal their former drip
Idk I’m a cheap clothes queen 💅

Brain lore dump binary thinking/depression?
As much as I like the idea of falling asleep to music I need the time to have a dialogue in my head to think. I know it’s a little weird but the two main voices in my mind are a bit of roles I assign Quique (masc) Kiki( femme). Probably just me switching back and forth like playing ping pong with myself but my best thinking gets done like that. It helps explain the contradictory emotions I feel by assigning them to one side or the other and I gotta manage my best making both happy.
I also stop using I and go by we for a while, instinct really it’s weird. All of this might me coping from loneliness since I got no one to talk to most of the time but as far as coping mechanism go it’s easily on of my more healthy ones I’ve tried. Maybe all of this is just my imagination but so far it’s helped me get out of the worst of my depression the ability to just
myself and get a quick prep talk through the worst of the negative self talk.If it’s helping that’s really all that needs to matter

Girl we’ve been knowing how to draw
Going through old comments on stuff like youtube, SCP wiki watching as more and more profile pics put up a trans flag or have trans pride colours - the harvest is coming, more and more nya ha ha… you fool, you posted in the video that makes you trans 8 years ago it’s only a matter of time
I feel like shit but I got a lot done today

dialectic is in motionThe best thing about losing weight is being able to sit cross legged in unconventional ways I haven’t been able to since my early 20s
i was last thin when i was like 4,so it was a very cool surprise to not have the belly in the way
doomerism
does hormones and laser even do anything?
I thought I’d see more of a difference for how long I’ve been doing both.
I see so many trans girls that just look like normal girls (even if you can still kind of tell they are trans) is it too much to ask for for myself?Will laser actually eventually get rid of all my facial hair?
Will hormones do more eventually? Is it cuz I’ve been losing weight so not as much fat redistributes?
Do all the girls who pass just rely on makeup? That’s the only thing I can think of to cope, but o don’t know what I will do if I try makeup and still don’t pass.I fear my gf is tying her life to mine and I am destined to just be miserable forever.
Will laser actually eventually get rid of all my facial hair?
Probably not quite all of it. It’s a good idea to go through one full course of treatments and then do electrolysis to mop up the rest, if you can afford it and/or handle the pain. Electrolysis is weird, though, because they sort of do it in strips to minimize skin damage – so after your first appointment, you’re going to come out of it with just one section done. It also can take multiple passes just because of how slowly some of the hairs grow in before they’re permanently zapped.
Meanwhile, I’m still boymoding in public and absolutely do not think I pass as femme, but I keep getting “ma’am-ed” regardless. I’m not sure how to feel about that. I’m pretty sure the local yokels have just never seen someone with long hair and a deep voice in a Slayer t-shirt before. It’s culture shock to them
Anyway, hang in there – it gets better, and everyone progresses at different rates, so don’t sweat it. You’ve got this.

Yes, laser and hrt works. You do need body fat for it to be redistributed. It can only do so much redistribution without body fat. One of the biggest tools for passing is voice training and yes it’s a pain and takes a long time, it’s also the only thing that doesn’t rely on lucky genetics and you will get a more femme voice by sheer effort (and sometimes coaching, but you can do it on your own too). You’ve also been doing HRT for a while, yeah? Eventually the big changes you get from the first 2 years slow down. Stuff still changes but they don’t come as fast and hard and those first few years
For you, specifically, you do seem unnecessarily harsh with critiquing yourself. You do seem to discount the times you’ve passed. You do have some actual advantages, you are short(er) for example - I know we tease, but your height is a genuine physical advantage you have. Your personal issues with passing seem way more tied up with what’s going on in your head rather than anything physically. I mean, I guess you can only take it with a grain of salt because I’ve never actually seen you just read some posts.
I would encourage you to take these things that might be bothering you to a therapist (ideally one who works well with trans people) if you can afford it. I swear these thought patterns can be worked through and we can get you to a place where you see a woman when you look in a mirror like so many other people do when they see you.

I’m worried I fucked myself over by being on a really low/bad dose for the first few years and now it’s pointless.
I had a lowish oral dose for a couple years, got SRS (so no need to rely on shitty Spiro) , gained fat, and saw some pretty feminizing effects from that. Then about 9 years after starting I switched to injections and prog and now my boobs are growing again. So I really doubt your changes have plateaued.
I hope so
I’ve never worn makeup in my life and I am stealth, and Im friends with other trans women who pass without makeup as well. HRT really does work, but honestly, passing is about way more than just HRT or lazer or makeup, or behaviors, or voice training. It’s a skill and the only way to get better at it is to do it and do it for long periods of time. Trying your best to pass through all those methods above at all times for long periods of times WILL yield results, much more than just doing HRT and waiting.
The only constant in this world is change. I wish you peace.
