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. :)

Anyone have experience with getting a passport? I changed my name many many years ago and don't know if my parents still have the court order, but I haven't changed my birth certificate because I didn't think it would be relevant. All my documents are in my legal name except for the birth certificate.
I've tried looking up my case online but wasn't sure what court it was in (somewhere in WA) or what year.
My state allows amending my birth certificate but it's a several month long wait and my family wants me to get this all done before anyone has a chance to fuck up the process.
I recently got my passport changed. It was pretty easy besides being a bit expensive, I just bought all of the documents to a post office and had my new one in like 3 weeks.
I did have the court order, not sure if it can be done without. You could probably use your old birth certificate, the point of that is just to establish citizenship. Tho IMO you should change your birth certificate if your state makes it easy, it will potentially help avoid headaches in the future.
According to the current guidance, you can change your gender marker and it doesn't require legal or medical documentation to justify the change.
