#AskFedi #cars, what new hotness exists in the world of windscreen washer fluid since the last time I bought a bottle like a decade ago (which has just run out)? Any special formula to get? Anything with rain repellent or anything added in? Anything specific to avoid? Any and all suggestions and boosts welcome.

Okay, friends. I've got a large, large list on the board of things I've considered and probably will eventually write about, but I'm also having a very cynical month and am likely too tempted to take a negative view on something (the topic of thought at this moment is this insane cult-like "mom group" out here that is incessantly trying to recruit me despite that I've gone NC with their leader because I strongly suspect some kind of very not-good things are going on at her house and within this group) and write on an antithesis when I think what would be more valuable to you all is probably something a bit more productively oriented.
With that being said, let me know if there's something you need to learn right now! If you don't have ideas of your own, here are a few you can vote on (though I'd really welcome your specific ideas or questions if you have them!):

Okay hive mind, here's one for you. Ready? I'm a Totally #blind #musician looking to learn bansuri. Are there any blind/visually impaired bansuri players or Indian classical flute players out there? I’d love to know how you learned hand position and flute angle, particularly for larger flutes, without relying on visual demonstration. I have played the western concert flute for over 25 years, so getting a sound is easy. I'm also seeking accessible teachers/courses or live online lessons with strong verbal description. Boosts very much appreciated!

What's the easiest way for me to script moving the last line of a text file to the Nth line? I have a whole directory full of files that need the exact same treatment.
Update: My solution in replies!

I am looking for a possibility to bridge Matrix rooms to Signal groups. For our local #makerspace. Any hints appreciated!
(I've researched that I could do it with setting up my own synapse homeserver with the right plugins, but I hope there is a simpler way for doing this...)

Did a nice recovery ride this evening...maybe only about 7 miles, but a very leisurely 7 miles.
My wife thinks I should do a solo tour this summer - maybe 150 miles or so - to see how I like it over a few days. I have some money to spend so I may start looking at pannier bags and other touring sundries. Anything in particular I should shop for (other than safety gear)?

If you have migraines and are currently working, what do you do and are they currently hiring?
I’m looking for a hybrid or work-from-home position.
My work experience includes customer service, retail sales, data entry, social media management, and many years of writing, both fiction and nonfiction.
Open to other ideas, too.
I live in Toronto, so Canadian leads and recommendations are most helpful. General advice is welcomed as well, though.

#AskFedi is there a #FOSS app (for smartphones, so #iOS and #Android at least) that allows live streaming from the camera to a companion server app (preferably running on #linux in a VPS I own)?
I'm not interested in streaming to a/social media and the ecosystem should support sudden interruptions as I'd plan to use it in protests.
Boosts welcome.

QUESTIONS

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.#FollowerPower #PleaseHelp #AskFedi #question #burnout #pais #PostCovid #LongCovid #MECFS #FatigueSyndrome #fatigue #orthostasis #OrthostaticHypotension #OrthostaticDysregulation #pacing #HRV #BloodPressure #BloodPressureManagement #syncopation #BurnoutManagement #PAISManagement

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.
4. (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.#FollowerPower #PleaseHelp #AskFedi #question #burnout #pais #PostCovid #LongCovid #MECFS #FatigueSyndrome #fatigue #orthostasis #OrthostaticHypotension #OrthostaticDysregulation #pacing #HRV #BloodPressure #BloodPressureManagement #syncopation #BurnoutManagement #PAISManagement

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.#FollowerPower #PleaseHelp #AskFedi #question #burnout #pais #PostCovid #LongCovid #MECFS #FatigueSyndrome #fatigue #orthostasis #OrthostaticHypotension #OrthostaticDysregulation #pacing #HRV #BloodPressure #BloodPressureManagement #syncopation #BurnoutManagement #PAISManagement

#AskFedi has anyone on the #LazyWeb got a comprehensive free reference to the DIN/EN50005 terminal numbers (those weird 14, 23, 81etc numbers you see on the back of relays, contactors and power switches? (EDIT: there is also the related DIN 72552 standard which covers numbers used in automotive wiring looms).
Making the standard that tells you "where do I reattach this spade terminal that came off its post so that I do not die" cost €€€ to access makes Kit mad Mad MAAAD.
ETA: There are dozens of search results along the form of "hey, I needed to work out these inscrutable codes, and here are what the particular four that I needed mean" but I've not found a nice chart or list that is comprehensive enough to keep for reference.
