I do not believe that is as relevant as you think it is.

There is a certain overlap between autistic people and furries/therians, but that is very much not the reason for this behaviour.

This is generally a bad idea unless you have a very specific threat model, as it makes your house stand out from the ones nearby, and may even then attract more unwanted attention.

Not necessarily a sign; just a common quirk to have with the condition.

Not all toe-walking is related to autism: it can also be musculoskeletal or related to other psychological conditions; and at the same time, not all autistic people walk like this.

I have a habit of sneaking up on people like this, too; and yeah, not all toe-walking is related to autism, just as not all autistic people do this.

Just “autistic toe walking”. I myself have no sources, sadly, but it’s widely reported and documented.

There can be a few reasons. Sensory, coordination, neurological… Usually it simply feels more natural.

A common quirk of autism is putting pressure on the fronts of your feet (though rarely as high as this) while walking.

I do it a bit, but the only sign that I am is that my shoes wear down on the front faster than other people, while the heel generally stays intact.

I gave up on notes platforms like this a couple of years ago. I just have a bunch of well-sorted Markdown files that I edit with nano on desktop and Markor on mobile.

I also plan to run Haiku on one of my older machines, but I can’t write down its components (e.g. init system, audio server), as it’s more monolithic than NetBSD or GNU/Linux.

To transfer files using netcat, it’s:

# Replace 1337 with any port number you like
nc -vl 1337 > file   # On recipient
nc -N 192.168.X.X 1337 < file   # On sender

Of course, things like compression and encryption need to be done beforehand; but one would hopefully use other means to transfer such files.

(InfoSec vs. PrivSec, perhaps?)

Depending on your drivers, you could give Guix a go. It’s not for everyone; but it’s decent, solid, and I used to run it on a 32-bit machine with 3GB of RAM.

If you do require nonfree drivers, there are guides to set it up using Nonguix; but I don’t know how well that works (I am yet to try it).

Fuck the pro-state!
