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. :)

    i'm doing it again sorry if this is too off-topic (spoilers for homestuck 2792)

    In general I’m liking the more varied art styles for the characters

    1. i can’t get over how cute the art is in this little Flash interactive thing, omg the sprites i am swooning and now I have decided Vriska is my favourite character. also Feferi is so pretty omg. so much gender envy is happening here right now. who did this art, i need to become them
    2. related, but the word spidersona will live rent-free in my head for a while
    3. there’s so many listed music tracks for this one but i uh got lost because it was late and didn’t find most of them, lol
    4. also I loved the actual drawings of :?, good bit

    (I should mention tho in case anyone is interested in checking it out that some of the language is pretty dated as it’s from ~2010 and kinda has its “edgy” roots, the unofficial collection has a whole bunch of content warnings and I think that’s great that they did that but I feel it needs to be said)

    this silly little comic is making me believe in people and my ability to actually have social connections again, so I appreciate that. I’m not sure what class of treat enjoyer this makes me, perhaps Treat Mage?

    So, now that it’s been a couple weeks since initially shaping my eyebrows (and overall I happy with them), I am being plagued by hairs regrowing in the plucked area. I don’t mind replucking them, but when they’re so small it’s difficult to get a grip on them, and they make my eyebrows look bushier than they are do to the color even if they don’t contribute any volume per say. Should I just use an eyebrow razor and deal with them via shaving, or should I just pluck them as they get long enough to repluck?

      ive never tried the razors so can’t say if they’re worth it or not. eyebrows are quick to grow back, you could do a small maintenance pluck after a couple weeks. personally i just wait until it really starts annoying me after a month or so because i find plucking them to be very tedious. it’s worth it though.

    Well, it finally happened. I don’t know how, but it did. My gender’s on the move again, and so I was thinking about it while taking a test. My brain somehow thought about my E dose and my upcoming blood test, and then it hit me.

    I wish I had started at a high dose off the bat instead of fucking myself over on the first few crucial years with low and inconsistent doses. aubrey-pain
    I wish I was skinnier/more comfortable with my weight so I could feel fine gaining weight for HRT affects. madeline-sadeline
    I sometimes wish I was just ace so I could have that as an excuse for my hang ups with physical intimacy. niko-tear-wipe

          spoiler

          yeah, I’d need to be on the lower end of a healthy bmi before I’d feel copmfortble

          I’m just trying to get back to not obese after the usual summer weight gain right now, but would like to at least get down to a BMI of 25 - not sure if I’ve been that low since Elementary school though (maybe briefly after a growth spurt?). Haven’t been physically active that much since the summer, so didn’t start really losing weight until about 2 weeks ago. Do still want to get back to being physically active though, separate from weight loss. Can’t imagine intentionally weight gaining anytime soon, but since I seasonally unintentionally gain weight, I guess that doesn’t matter.

          that’s where i feel good as well. it’s when my bmi starts to push above 20 that I chicken out. If I’m gonna do it I think I just need to not step on a scale until i’ve cycled up and gotten down again.

    Anyone just do a little eye makeup and lip gloss and that’s it? I’m looking at tutorials for the first time and it’s way too much. I’m not doing a full face with foundation and all that. Also, I work a manual labor job, outside in heat/rain, get sweaty, etc. How to do minimal eye makeup that also won’t smear everywhere if I get sweaty? Oh, I also have hooded eyes. @[email protected] @[email protected]

      What kind of eye makeup do you want to do? For the longest lasting eyeliner, you want to use cream liner with a brush. Setting powder will also be your friend to reduce the effects of sweat accumulation.

        For starting out I want to go with something “barely there”, like this:

        I’m not going to be out at work for a long time, but outside of work I want to start really subtle, basically slowly turning the dial until I find something that works as a go-to.

          The photo you sent is a good example of a tightline. For tightlining, you are putting the eyeliner on your upper waterline.

          In addition you can also use a eyeshadow brush and eyeshadow to coat the lashes with or without the liner to create that effect. You would use a black or similarly dark eyeshadow, coat the brush, life your eyelid with one hand, and coat the base of the lash with the brush.

          For a tightline, you want gel or waterproof liquid liner. Pencil might also work, but I am much less experienced with using pencil liner personally, and I like the darker contrast liquid and gel achieve.
