<p>The big draw of this modem is, it&#39;s designed for farmers and other rural users: where a typical modem is designed for one ideal line impedance, the Woomera has 8 different impedance-matching configs, and &quot;learns&quot; over time which one performs best for your line and specific counterparty. This means that on loooong, messy rural lines, you can reduce attenuation and echo, and so get much better stability and speeds!</p>

<p>I only just learned that we have home-grown Australian modems! For those overseas, &quot;woomera&quot; is a Dharug word for a lever that matches the impedance of a hunting spear to that of a human arm - a skilled user can get a massive range increase (I&#39;ve heard 3× bandied about).</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://is.badat.dev/users/meithecatte" class="u-url mention">@<span>meithecatte</span></a></span> i mostly stopped thinking of gender[-related changes] as something i care about because it will give me a positive reward and more it is something i care about because it will take away a positive punishment through far too much effort i can&#39;t apply</p><p>i sure feel do trapped about it</p><p>i try not to think about it too much</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://is.badat.dev/users/meithecatte" class="u-url mention">@<span>meithecatte</span></a></span> hormones? sure i can tune that, but it&#39;s entirely instrumental to my life, basically just &quot;okay what do i want to do with myself&quot;</p><p>surgeries? would be nice, but, extremely same on recovery. a friend has promised me to help but couldn&#39;t manage something much simpler. this is a recipe for disaster</p><p>i don&#39;t really call myself &quot;non-binary&quot; even if it technically might apply because it sparks absolutely no joy</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://is.badat.dev/users/meithecatte" class="u-url mention">@<span>meithecatte</span></a></span> i think the only thing i&#39;m confident in is that i don&#39;t want androgen-dependent hair more or less anywhere, and that i&#39;m completely fine presenting female to most of this society on a daily basis (i.e. not my friend circle, who get something more complex)</p><p>this is... not a lot. i&#39;m also not really very familiar with gender euphoria. the closest thing to gender euphoria i got in the last few years was going on T</p>
