If you do decide to try monotherapy, gel is unlikely to give you blood e levels high enough to suppress testosterone production if it’s applied as directed (upper arms and thighs) https://transfemscience.org/articles/high-dose-transdermal-e2/ You can get higher levels by applying it to your scrotum, but it’s quite irritating https://transfemscience.org/articles/genital-e2-application/

If you want testosterone suppression without an AA, E injections are generally the best option. Vanna pharma is based in the uk and is reputable (not sure if I can post a link here, but the url is on diyhrt.cafe). Her product has a lower viscosity than Lena’s so you can get away with 29g fixed needles (higher gauge = thinner needle = less pain). You might need 27g or even luer syringes with a low gauge needle for drawing and a higher gauge for injecting if you order injectable e from elsewhere.

Here’s the 27g needles I used to use with Lena’s EV https://www.exchangesupplies.org/shopdisp_unisharp_fixed_1ml_green_27.php\ Drawing the product from the vial can blunten the tip a little, so occasionally an injection would be a little difficult and painful. It could also take several minutes in winter to draw 0.18ml into the syringe due to the higher viscosity.

Here’s the 29g I use with Vanna’s EV https://www.exchangesupplies.org/shopdisp_Unisharp_fixed_1ml_yellow_29.php\ These are thinner and I’m yet to have a painful injection. It takes around 15 seconds to draw 0.18ml at current temperatures (5-15C).

There are several different esters of estradiol available for injection https://transfemscience.org/articles/injectable-e2-meta-analysis/ , but the most common one is estradiol valerate which is often dosed at 0.18ml of 40mg/ml solution (0.18 x 40 = total dose of 7.2mg) every 5 days. Ideally you’d get a blood test after a couple of months so that you can check your levels and adjust your dosage accordingly.

Oh no, not our precious neolib governments :((

If you’re asking for an android file manager app with a gui that will connect to sshfs, solid explorer does what you need but it isn’t foss.

Something like this should work on linux or mac. On windows you’ll probably need to use wsl or convert it to powershell if you can’t install the dependencies natively. The script requires bash, unrar, and find.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read -r rarfile; do
  while read -r password; do
    if unrar t -p"$password" "$rarfile" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
      echo "$rarfile $password"
      break
    fi
    echo "$rarfile password not found"
  done < /path/to/passwords.list
done < <(find /path/to/rars -type f -iname '*.rar')

The poor lad just wanted to kill people in peace. Who could have known that he’d eventually be the one getting killed.

If you have a homelab or vps you could try rolling your own with https://hub.docker.com/r/onerahmet/openai-whisper-asr-webservice for the transcription and a foss Tasker alternative for retreiving the voicemail when your dialler app posts a voicemail notification. If you don’t have the capability to selfhost whisper, you’d probably have to sacrifice the illusion of privacy (your mobile carrier will always have access to any calls made over their network) and use a transcription service from google/microsoft/openai.

Asterisk https://www.asterisk.org/ might be worth a look too (i.e. selfhost your voicemails)

LibreTube is probably what you want. There’s no g**gle sign-in in third party yt clients though (vanced only has it bc it patches the official client) so you’ll need to export and import your subscriptions https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube

Assuming Linux with SystemD,

sudo systemctl edit docker
[Unit]
RequiresMountsFor=/path/to/external/volume

You can use a SATA caddy with its own power supply if your basic USB adaptor isn’t able to draw enough.
