If you have any questions, please ask. I love yapping.

Let's say we have some periodic function f. The goal is to represent it as a bunch of sine waves. This is called a Fourier series (FS).
The FS coefficients are given by
⌠2⋅π
1 ⎮ -i⋅k⋅x
f̂(k) = ─── ⎮ f(x)⋅e dx
2⋅π ⌡0
for whole numbers k. We can then approximate the original function with
n
___
╲ -i⋅k⋅x
╱ f̂(k)⋅e
‾‾‾
k = -n
and make the approximation better by making n larger.
For non-periodic functions, we can still get an approximation! The Fourier Transform (FT) uses a continuous range of frequencies instead of whole numbers, and the sum is replaced by an integral (the inverse FT).
FT's are used everywhere, for example in signal processing and spectroscopy. If a recording contains an annoying high-pitched noise, we can apply the FT and filter the unwanted frequencies. Spectroscopy separates light into its different wavelengths. By comparing the resulting spectral lines with known measurements, we can determine which elements and molecules are present in stars and planets, for example.
idk what more to add ._.

sorry to be the bearer of bad thread https://hexbear.net/post/9313324
What the fuck...
@SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net has the correct take i feel
Just read that post right now and holy shit that was a train wreck. I just want to say I really appreciate all your effort-posting there.
As always!
This argument is always wild, just because there are some downsides to patriarchy for men doesn't mean that they don't benefit at all.
Maybe if you're very effeminate as a cishet man you will not benefit as much, but then its just because you're bleeding into queer territory.
Also a little dash of "male socialization" as a treat
fuck i saw that thread in the morning and just knew it was going to be shit
oh my god that thread is rancid jesus christ. and they say women are sensitive and fragile
so fucking whiny i dealt with those brainworms on leftbook when i was a fucking closeted child god how infuriating i guess it may be easier to let it go when you're not a man but good lord
in awe at how we got from "men are affected by patriarchy" to "The number of men that actually enjoy any benefits from [patriarchy] is small. Sure, most men get some benefits from it. However we mostly don't enjoy them." and "The patriarchy runs itself and benefits and hurts all genders." IN A THREAD ABOUT HOW TO INTERACT WITH SHITTY MEN
they really can't help themselves, like the very least a man can do on a thread like that is shut the fuck up lol
literally, if i felt scratched or attacked by some men are trash shit back in the day, i just knew not to stick my head in
Holy fuck
My desire for a trans separatist instance continues to intensify daily
Somwhat to completely unrelated, I remember a year or so ago I went on Tumblr in hopes it wouldn't be incredibly awful on basic issues as I had never used the platform before. Terrible mistake, wretched platform.
Somehow, Tumblr is worse than it's ever been. Which is saying something. It's never been good. Every single person worth engaging with on there I knew before I ditched it got dogpiled and run off. I shudder to think what it looks like now.
A good platform is like a spoon
If I had the money to rent a vps and have a domain name, oh the things I would do.
I think my biggest concern is that that stuff is more on the ops side of things than I’m used to and I suspect I’d likely commit some rookie ass fuckup and get my ass doxxed or, worse, someone else’s
Between the lot of us maybe we can find the money, knowledge, and time/energy to do something?

::: spoiler I'm not a sysadmin, but
If youre serious, I would be up for contributing labor. I'm no wizard but I admin shit at work and am up for contributing in that kind of way (just dont make me an instance admin).
I understand you. I'm pretty much like that too. (Also I presume your netstat is my
ss -tulpn)ⓘ This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.
Damn ur quick. I edited down my post real fast cause I didn't want people hunting for my software lol. But yeah I can contribute labor.
Do you run encryptioninspace? Is pretty cool
Right, if we are at least two people that can do some sysadmin stuff that would be good (one of the reasons I haven't made an "open" instance cuz I didn't want to be the only admin, both sys and instance. But also don't make me a moderator too)
I do run encryptionin.space
ⓘ This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.
Yeah, its good to always have someone available. like, being the only sysadmin is great for your own stuff but the second its open its so much pressure and responsibility. And yeaaaaaaa I can't administrate people, I dont have those social skills lol.
Would it be like 100% trans only with no federation? Or just everyone on the instance itself is trans?
I think ideally it’d be trans-only and fully private (i.e. login required to view anything, no federation) but also somehow federated enough that we could still post here… I’m not fully sure how how exactly that would work though. Maybe two instances on one machine behind a single reverse proxy or something? Idk I’d have to RTFM pretty significantly to see what kind of support there is for something like that. It may already be readily doable without much fuckery.
Of course it’s also possible to just handle the “also posting elsewhere” part by just having separate accounts.
You can have local only communities that only people that are logged in can see.

Sick! In that case I’d think that’s probably exactly what we’d want!
https://hexbear.net/c/transenby_liberation
is a local only community but if you want to make a new one let me know.
lemmy 1.0 will expand on that to gives you the option to ask local users to apply for entrance into a private community.
Oh neat, I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks! The thing about local-only though is that a number of the calls have been coming from inside the house.
It seems like the private community would be ideal then as that gives another layer of control over who can access the space, hoping lemmy 1.0 comes soon!
Oh snap yea that would probably do the trick very nicely.

Thank you!
At least one of the trans hexbear communities is local only know. Maybe more? I forget their names tho since I can't see them anymore
I’m still hung up on how declaring sex and/or gender immutable (post wasn’t super clear on which) is somehow not reactionary or counterrevolutionary. I think I need to put this one down and walk away.
