Hey #Edmonton #YEG, important ask here:
Anyone have a spare phone they're willing to part ways with? My friend's phone is refusing to turn on, and they rely on it for basic necessities.
Neither of us is able to pay anything for said phone, given our financial situation, and the spare I have laying around is broken (screen shattered, digitizer damaged [screen is basically unusable], random touchscreen activations).
It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to work. Any help, if you can offer it, would be vastly appreciated ❤️

Does anyone sell (preferably from a queer person) a decent sized pin of the agender flag to wear proudly? At the Pride event today, the closest I could find was the non-binary one, which is close but still different.
I'm in the USA, but can plan for high shipping costs from elsewhere if needed.

What is the current preferred way to detect (preferably in CSS) when a user is using text-to-speech output so that document elements that have no relevance or can’t be rendered aurally can be hidden/skipped?
I’ve looked through the MQ4 media features list and don’t see anything relevant; but surely I can’t be the only one who wants to do this?

A question for the Fedi Hivemind:
There's a webcomic I can't remember the name of. x__x I remember coming across it in the mid-late 2000s. It was bright and cartoony and very well drawn; I remember it being hilarious, actual laughing out loud kind of thing. It was short, though, and unfinished.
It took place in a high school, followed a number of different characters. In particular, I remember one of the teachers, a rather nerdy guy, selling his soul to the devil because he was so fed up with the kids or something, and becoming a devil himself; he grew large horns and gained more of a devil-like temper. There was also a rooster? I think? Anyway... hell and fire were some of the major themes.
I know it's not much to go on... I remember it so well, even if I can't remember details or the name of it. Anyone have any ideas what it could have been?

QUESTIONS
1
My main question is for tips on how to manage orthostatic hypotension.
There is a lot of discussion about what to concentrate on during training with hypotension versus hypertension, but the first question is probably: Should I even treat this as a hypotension and concentrate on getting my blood pressure up or should I rather concentrate on better regulation of blood pressure, if that is even possible. For example for burnout I learned that to reduce stress the goal is not to get the heart rate down, but to increase the heart rate variability (HRV). Is there such a thing as training for blood pressure variability/flexibility?
2
Next question is for tips on how to manage burnout and PAIS if and when I get both at the same time.
My burnout management involves lots of activities ranging from light intensity long walks to sprints and high intensity interval training and strength training as well as lots of meditation, breathing exercises. I try to go for a walk for at least one hour after every meal, because (at least during a sick-leave) meals cause the most and longest lasting stress if I don't walk it out. That's why I try to eat only once a day at noon - eating in the evening can ruin my sleep.
My management during an infection that feels like the start of a PAIS involves lots of sleeping without any circadian rhythm detectable and very little activity.
My management of PAIS involves pacing which I'm not good at yet though. It's really hard to know what is too much and what is too little. But I guess I can't be very wrong with just lots of slow walking without too much uphill parts.
3
Now if you have any other general tips on managing any of the mentioned ailments feel free to let me know. I didn't mention everything I know already, but feel free to also mention things you assume I already know.

I have questions to people who have knowledge about Burnout, PAIS (post-acute infection syndromes, like Post/Long-Covid, ME/CFS, etc…), orthostatic hypotension, blood pressure management, fitness, pacing, etc.
This will be a long post and you don’t have to read all of it. Just look for the paragraph with the headline “questions” in the first reply. I’m mostly writing so much to get my own thoughts in order.
NOTICE
I’m asking this here in the Fediverse because this is the best place to reach actual people who know stuff. Before the ecocide slop boom I’d have started with internet research, but that’s no real option anymore. If an account answers me that seems like AI it will be blocked. If you answer me with what you just found on random internet sites, you will be blocked. Everybody else: Thank you! Btw you don’t have to be a formal expert on any of the subject matters. Anecdotal evidence by people affected or relatives is highly valuable too.
BACKGROUND
I’m prone to both burnout and PAIS (undiagnosed, because the health system is inadequate) but haven’t yet had both of them at the same time. This might be different now. My burnout is definitely back and I’m having an infection that feels a lot like it will turn into a PAIS. I’ve had a PAIS two times both starting in MAy of 2024 and 2025 and lasting for 3 months each. So this would be the right time to get it again. Since the last PAIS I’ve had two infections though that felt like the start of PAIS, but I probably stopped them with lots of medication, supplements and other methods. My last sick-leave was due to my first burnout for 6 weeks (obviously not long enough). I’m on sick-leave again since Wednesday because the burnout is back - the infection broke out one day later, but probably already made my body weaker before, playing a role in the burnout-relapse.
MY SYMPTOMS
For burnout my main symptoms are: tinnitus, tensions in the ear, jaw & neck area, headaches, bad sleep, fatigue, susceptibility to stress, low psychic resilience. For the PAIS its fatigue, bad sleep, brain fog, bad performance in all systems (fitness, cognition, social, etc..), malaise, some symptoms of a cold or allergy (constant tingle in my nose, running nose, sometimes coughing and sneezing, …) and bad memory that lasts longer than everything else (years instead of months).
SPECIAL SYMPTOM: ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION
I’ve had bad orthostatic hypotension as a child with regular syncopations. It has gotten better (rarer) and I’ve learned how to deal with it, at least a bit. I do still have it whenever I have an illness that makes me bedridden, like infections and depressions. There are basically 4 levels: 1 (usually without positional change): I feel that something is wrong with my orthostasis. 2 (usually with some positional change, like from lying to sitting): I feel dizzy and weak, like my brain is not supplied with blood as it should be, but no signs of unconsciousness. 3 (usually when changing from lying to standing): I feel my conciseness fading, I get tunnel vision, my legs let up and I have to hold tight to make sure I don’t fall. I get the feeling of a slight dissociation, but I’m still there enough to control it and it slowly fades away giving me a warm comfortable feeling when the blood flows back to everywhere where it’s needed.
- (sometimes combined with 3 and me not controlling it well, sometimes immediately after standing up too quick after lying for a while): I loose consciousness and fall down, sometimes banging my head badly. I haven’t had this level since my teenage years and my consciousness always came back immediately when I’m on the ground. Now I’ve learned that orthostatic hypotension is both a symptom and a risk factor for PAIS and since I’ve had it forever I think it might be a good idea to learn to manage it better as to not get PAIS again or at least less frequent.

[RonLeo] #AskFedi Hi! We are looking to buy a (small) computer for a home server, and we were wondering which one to get? What are thinking about running on it:
🪼 Jellyfin
🥧 Pi-Hole
🌱 maybe a vanilla Minecraft server if we have space or ram left over for it
🦋 storage (ROMs, photos, etc)
Also we have ~3mb/s download speed, our home internet fucking sucks. So if any of this is unrealistic, please tell us!

Is anyone here on Fedi selling stickers that say "Fuck AI" (or something similar) or knows someone who does?
I wanna carry around a stash of stickers to stick on posters I see on the street that are obviously made with genAI.
(Please don't suggest sites like StickerApp, I know those. I am looking for something more DIY that doesn't involve giving money to a corporation)
