I've got a question about how reitti calculates significant places/visits.

I was thinking of adjust gps logger so that it doesn't log points if they're within 10m of the last point it logged. That will clear up the data when I'm at home or work, so that there is less of a random squiggle of location data. It will record me arriving at home, and leaving home, but not much in between.

Will that impact how reitti calculates locations though? Is it looking at the number of points, or is it simply a matter of duration within a particular vicinity?

Having all of this data stored in a location I can control has been really good.

But yesterday, it was pointed out to me that the API reitti provides means I have access to over a decades worth of location history that I can use to geotag my photo collection! That is a game changer. I've been trying to find a way to pull that information from google location history for a long time, and it turns out, you've created it!

This is really valuable to me, so I want you to know just how much I appreciate the effort you've put in to making it. Thank you

Was the vaginismus like involuntary contractions that created too much resistance for the dilator?

Not contractions, more like a permanent contraction. Well, semi permanent, as it resolved eventually. But until then, it was contracted tight 24/7

Has there been any thought about seeing the surgeon again or looking into rehabilitation, or is it easier to have moved on?

My surgeon retired, as did one of the others, leaving a single Australian surgeon with a long wait list, with no guarantees he could fix it, especially given it was another surgeons work. In theory though, I could get PPV with him, but still an uncertain outcome at the end of a long wait list.

In theory I'll do it one day, but the older I get, the less likely I'll bother

But I'm impressed by your healthy and adaptive mindset about it.

Heh. That's me with the benefit of time. When I was going through it, I didn't have a healthy adaptive mindset

My case was a bit more complicated than my previous post outlined. After a year or so of dilating, and having difficulties, I went back to my surgeon for a followup when I was supporting a friend who was having surgery with the same surgeon.

He had a look at things, and confirmed the presence of scarring causing the issue, but his examination also triggered something like vaginismus, and it became impossible for me to dilate with anything but the smallest dilator for a month or so after. By the time that issue resolved, I had lost more depth and girth from the lack of meaningful dilation. So I spent some time trying to regain what I had lost, but ultimately getting back to where I was before the vaginismus would have taken months, with no guarantees of success, but given that even full success was back to a starting point that wasn't working for me, it become really hard to keep dilating.

And then covid happened, and my surgeon cleared his lists and stopped taking bookings. I wasn't able to have penetrative sex anyway even before any of this happened, so at that point, I couldn't see the point in continuing.

It was a pretty big deal for me, and it left me feeling crushed. But, the way I looked at it was that even though I couldn't have the sex life I had hoped for, that was also true before I had bottom surgery, but bottom surgery left me feeling comfortable in my body in a way I'd never had access to before, so I was still better off than where I started, even if I didn't end up where I had hoped to.

I'm on android. I'll raise a bug report.

Kaity has worked her magic and implemented the fix. Search is working now

Basically, after my healing was done, it just never got any better. No matter how much I dilated, the largest dilator was never comfortable, and with the effort it took to use that, nothing made out of flesh and blood instead of rigid plastic was going to stand a chance.

Because it was never comfortable, and I was never able to have penetrative sex, I ended up just giving up on dilation during the covid lockdowns.

I had a very different experience unfortunately. It turns out that I had quite a bit of internal scarring, so dilation was never pleasant for me. It wasn't hard to do, but it didn't feel comfortable. Sort of like stretching a piercing. It was tense and uncomfortable.

Still, despite that, it was a life changing experience, and I'd do it again every time if I had the choice!

Well, the last update seems to have cleared the queue, and all of my history from that 10 year import now shows, with trips and places identified!

But now, it's having issues with importing the new google format import. I've got a 34MB file there that goes back to 2017, and this data says that it has imported, but then never appears in my history.

If it's relevant, there is overlap in the data, as my 10 year takeout import went up to 2023, and my "new format" import starts in 2017 and went a couple of days ago. I changed my google account in 2017, but logged in to both on my phone simultaneously, so I was accruing location data on both accounts at the same time for a while before I turned it off on my old account.

Who?

Yep, we have the fix, and will be putting it in place ASAP

That's really interesting. Australian here, and I've remarked several times how the userbase of the fediverse isn't dominated by American voices like most other social media platforms I've used.
