Really annoying Orca behavior: you have to navigate by word to find spelling errors. rather than by paragraph or sentence. This is a massive productivity killer. If any #Blind #Linux users know how to change this, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll write to the Orca list and see if this can't be fixed.
Update: have written to the Orca list about this and hoping it's something that I can simply configure.

Basically the only way to get #curl stickers (without printing your own set) is to approach me when I show up somewhere to talk.
The next big chance is at #FOSDEM where I usually give away **thousands** of curl stickers.
It is always fine to pick a few extra to hand out to your friends and grandparents.

Supposedly 'offensive' lyrics in seasonal classic songs could come under the watch of the Government's new workers' rights legislation, it has been suggested.Aidan Radnedge (Daily Mail)
I went for a walk this morning. A tree branch hit me in the face. It scratched my cheek, missing my right eye by not very much, and yanked my right AirPod out completely. I had to use Find My to recover my AirPod. If you own trees and their branches overhand public sidewalks, please, PLEASE keep them trimmed. Not everyone can see and avoid branches.
Oh, and yes, I've called the office for code enforcement about branches. They never called me back.

When an entire class of technology states on the packaging that it was made in China but intended "for overseas use only," this should really give you pause before plugging it into your network.
You will find this verbiage on a lot of Android TV streaming boxes for sale at the major retailers. There's a very good reason the country that makes this crap doesn't want it on their own networks. My advice: If you have one of these Android streaming boxes on your network or get one as a gift, toss it in the trash. I'll have a lot more about this in the New Year, but these things are responsible for building out a botnet that currently has ~2M devices and is growing rapidly. blog.xlab.qianxin.com/kimwolf-…
Background On October 24, 2025, a trusted partner in the security community provided us with a brand-new botnet sample. The most distinctive feature of this sample was its C2 domain, 14emeliaterracewestroxburyma02132[.Wang Hao (奇安信 X 实验室)
@miki The bot forms the connection to the server. Bing bang boom.
There's also IP6. That may or may not be available for direct addressing.
That's all the issue is. The outside doesn't know how to address something behind a NAT. Once a connection is formed the NAT gateway deals with the translations and communication happens normally for the two sides. The NAT gateway does the work at that point.

Sad to hear that Chris Rea passed away today. I haven't heard Driving Home for Christmas yet this year, so I'm dusting off a cover I wrote and recorded a few years ago on a fundraiser album. This version is what might happen if a blind person decided to drive home for Crimbo, with everything you're hearing being done by actual blind people. Well, everything apart from the driving (didn't have the budget for a car or good lawyers).Credits:
David Eagle did the lead vocal.
My guy Dwight Brady did the angry drivers/traumatic adlibs, was also the tiny child at the end.
@technowitch was the police dispatcher.
Ché Martin was the swat team commander.
Satauna Howery was the news reader near the end.
Dwight again on drums.
Me on bass, all the button-pushy production stuffs and writing stupid lyrics (before AI could do that BTW, mentioning so you know who to blame).
@daygar on piano/keys/strings.
Chris Faelnar on guitar.All told, the production went to 7 countries.
And all that to say, RIP Chris, you bloody legend.
Enjoy! x
Lyrics:
I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh I can't wait to feel those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Driving even though I'm blindAnd it may seem wrong
But I will get there if I push on
It's like the end of days
When I'm borrowing your car
Driving home for ChristmasIt's gonna take some time, but I'll get there...
Caused a 10 mile tailback
Oh I hear sirens all around
But this is kinda freeing, yeah
Making people go to groundSo I facetime you
'cos Aira said they can't guide me through
Don't fear, it's just me
Borrowing your car
And driving home for ChristmasDriving home for Christmas, making memories...
I hear the shout of a driver next to me
He's up in flames...I made it through the tailbacks
There's a police convoy in bound
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Laying waste to every townNow I'm on the news
There's helicopters, a swat team too
I hope you'll forgive me
Borrowing your car
And driving home for ChristmasDriving home for Christmas, with a thousand casualties...
Say a prayer for the family next to me
They've all been mamed...

I haven’t tuned into CBS since its morning news promoted that interview (and Weiss) last week. This latest announcement validates my decision.

I consider DoH in browsers to be data collection enabled by default. I always customise the browsers to use a DoH server I trust or disable DoH entirely.
...and I use DoH for the upstream DNS requests in my server.
This means that any DNS requests in my home network will be automatically converted to DoH, but using the server configuration I control.

What strategies have worked to get organizations to stop advertising for Twitter/X?
Some orgs have made the shift here but most still seem to promote their presence on X more than any other.
It is tolerable for organizations to meet their users where they are.
It is not ok to give free advertising!

#Introduction for my (recreated) solo instance
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Hello! I go by Leora online, late-20s, pronouns she/her 
❥ I am happily married! 
❥ I am a 🐈 #cat mom to 3 and a 🐶 #doggo mom to 1 very crazy #whippet. I will likely be posting a lot of pictures of my #cats Saria, Majora, and Link, along with the occasional Mabel picture.
❥ I am a Linux Server Administrator. 
❥ I currently live in Arkansas in the US, but I'm trying my hardest to relocate out of the South for obvious reasons. 
❥ My memory is absolutely terrible, can't really recall a majority of my past. 
❥ I’m reasonably confident in my programming ability; my projects are often less so. 
❥ Took a 🇯🇵 #Japanese language course in high school only to forget it all the next year. Currently working on relearning what I've forgotten.
❥ Use to be super involved with 🎭 #theatre. I was in a mime troupe in high school; I learned mime stuff, stilt & ball walking, small bit of 🤸 acrobatic stuff, diabolo stuff. I was active on stage and behind the curtains for several shows throughout high school and college. My social anxiety has mostly put an end to that chapter of my life, though.
❥ In my free time I'm either tinkering with my 
#homelab, watching 
#jellyfin or youtube, 
reading #manga or #webtoons, 
playing video games (sometimes on #Twitch), or taking 📸 pictures of my cats.
Feel free to add me, I enjoy meeting new people!
