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.

Started HRT yesterday and all I feel is anxiety
When do I get to the revived emotional spectrum and sense that something broken has been fixed
from what I can recall, like two weeks to a month is when I really grasped “hey, I feel different in a cool new/weird way”
I think its pretty normal to have anxiety when starting something new like that - for my, I had a lot more dissociation I think. Also, my initial dose didn’t really do much for me. The spiro certainly limited T from having its normal effects (even if my T levels didn’t drop), but my E barely increased in the first 3 month. I switched to injections and I could tell the difference within days. Personally though, I feel like my emotional changes are a lot less than some people experience, but there’s a lot of YMMV.
I felt miserable double T during the first couple weeks of blockers but eventually everything opened up and went all over the place for better or worse.
