Trans Megathread for the Week of November 4th, 2024 to November 10th, 2024
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. :)
As a reminder, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
So theres a few ways i tend to go about it. Cw anatomy for this whole thing.
If you feel any pain, stop. This isnt something to fuck around with, and you can give yourself hernias and make your life more difficult if you ignore and try to power through the pain. Thats not to say you 100% will, just that it is a possibility. Its also important to look out for any numbness or similar.
general principles
Locate your inguinal canals. They are on either side of your genitals, and open into the scrotum. They are small tubes that run up and out towards your hips. If you feel around beside the base of the penis and kind of crook your finger towards yourself you should find them. It may be easier to do this laying down.
Press your testicles into the canals. They may be difficult to fit, especially if you arent on hrt or havent experienced testicular atrophy from hrt. If you feel any pain stop immediately. These canals are not stretchy and can be damaged. Similarly to step 0, it may be easier to do this laying down.
Pull your penis back towards your anus, almost pinching it between your butt cheeks. Optionally you can wrap your scrotum around the shaft of the penis, or tuck it back with the penis.
tucking panties
These are pretty self explanatory. They are panties with a wider gusset and made out of either compression material or a more rigid material than other panties. You just do the general principles and then pull the panties on. I find it easiest to tuck my testicles into the canals, pull on the panties, and then tuck the penis back and readjust everything to be nice and tight.
If i need a bulletproof tuck and am using tucking panties, i pair them with heavy duty compression top pantyhose, which hold everything almost too well.
tucking tape
WARNING: do not use duct tape, or any kind of tape not meant for sensitive skin!
For this you will need to shave your pubic hair and potentially your shaft and butt cheeks.
As per tucking panties, do the general principles, but let the penis itself hang for now. (Also i have only been able to do this standing).
Once you have the testicles in the canals, wrap your scrotum around the shaft of your penis and then wrap it in a single strip of tape, to hold it together as a single unit. If you do this just right it will look like labia under your panties when done. It should kind of look like a hot dog in a bun.
Now do the actual tuck by getting two strips of tape long enough to go from your pubic bone to your butt cheek, and apply them to your skin on or above your pubic bone at such an angle that they cross and make an X over the shaft of the penis. How far forward/back on the shaft is up to you, youll have to play around with it to find what works best. The goal is to have just the head poking out from the center of the X, as this will allow you to pee without un- and retucking. Often the tape wont hold for multiple adhesions, so this is important.
Now pull the penis back, while making sure not to let the tape adhere to anything. Once its in position, apply the tape to your butt cheeks to hold everything in place.
There is an alternative to this if you only have one wide strip of tape: find where the tip of your penis would hit the tape when tucked, and cut a vertical slit there. Place some paper over the adhesive directly around the slit. Now tape everything up as normal (without the X of course) and make sure the tip of your penis is pulled through the slit before adhering the tape to your butt (in this case your butt crack).
This all allows you to pee while tucked, though you may need to fish around and pull your penis head out. Because of how muscles and the urethra become oriented while tucked you will need to wipe and may need panty liners in case of leakage. This is entirely ymmv territory, ive spoken to girls who need liners and girls who stay bone dry.
Im glad I can be helpful! Theres probably other ways to tuck as well, but this is what I do (i tend to just use tucking panties, they get me most of the way there, and you can double up with a normal pair of panties for extra security if desired)
