    Came out to long time friend couple days ago. Turns out he’s queer too which I absolutely didn’t expect.

    I don’t want to say I have found a new name yet but I have pretty much found one.

    2 months on HRT and my hair has just visibly started regrowing. Crazy honestly. Still needs a while before it stops being sucky though.

    Getting better at trans voice, I can get something down pretty consistently now even though the way it sounds is still questionable (though that might be because it’s really hard to tell with my own voice, getting feedback from someone in a bit).

    So yeah pretty great I’d say. At least in terms of transitioning.




  • It’s normal macOS behavior, programs usually ignore the first click that activates a window for UI actions unless it’s something easily undoable (such as opening a dropdown menu). This means you don’t first have to look for a free spot on the window if you want to focus it. (That’s my interpretation of the reason behind it at least.)

    I don’t know if you can disable it. You can use the media control keys though, or ⌘` and then click which might be more comfortable than clicking twice.







  • Since you mentioned Chinese, there’s also an interesting thing in languages that have Chinese characters as their writing system origin and use names based on it (Chinese languages of course, Japanese, Korean and I think also Vietnamese) where names of historical or important people are translated via their written form and not their pronunciation. For example, the Japanese prime minister Ishiba Shigeru 石破茂 is called 石破茂 (shí pò mào) in Mandarin, written with the same characters. (Been a while since I read about this so I forgot the examples where the name is pronounced significantly different and in all of these languages but this is a good enough example)







  • Yeah, this should work (assuming by email client you mean MTA).

    Alternatively, you can set up Postfix to deliver mail over SSH to another MTA by defining a new service in master.cf that calls sendmail on the destination server. This postfix could run in a container as well or on the host, whatever is reachable.

    Old NixOS configuration for that here, see the default_transport and masterConfig parts: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/modules/sys2x/mail/relay.nix?h=ssh-mail

    Alternatively, if you don’t have another mail server somewhere that you want to relay to, the simplest option is probably to just have Postfix deliver into a local mailbox and access that over IMAP (the imaps port should not be blocked, right? You can use a non-standard port though). Turn off non-local delivery though.
