Jak se z nás stali geokačeři Přemýšlel jsem, jak v pochmurném prosincovém počasí dostat děti ven, až mě napadl geocaching, který se ukázal jako trefa do černého. Pár řádků o tom, jak se z nás stali geokačeři. #děti #geocachingblog.eischmann.cz/2026/01/17/j…(reakce na tento příspěvek se může zobrazit jako komentář pod článkem)
yes, yes. The output for "level" seems incomplete, possibly missing leading "l" and "və." This might be happening because the pointer iteration isn't handled properly in the script. espeak_TextToPhonemes might modify the text pointer internally, and I may need to adjust this to correctly handle wide char pointers (wchar_t*) instead of using c_void_p. Let's fix that. Why not, let's fix it all. All the bugs. Fix fix fix. No breaks.
OK, I got some questions: 1) I assume the instructions at the GitHub page to deal with phonemes are outdated, since they talk about data.py, right? 2) If I want a phoneme to sound different in Portuguese, should I create a phonemes section in pt-br.yaml and put the phoneme parameters there, or should I modify a phoneme in phonemes.yaml itself?
@clv1 nah, I updated them just recently :) the instructions should be recent. It now talks about the formats for the various pack files, so definitely do a control+shift+R just to make sure you get the latest version. Espeak is able to speak many of them, but you have to like, read them as individual letters sometimes. Yeah. I think JAWS is the only one I know where there's a way to get Eloquence to speak IPA, and supported posts about this (ruf.rice.edu/~reng/jaws-ipa.ht…) but it's tricky for sure. I will switch to Espeak sometimes in this workflow (or Speechplayer) and see how it speaks the symbol and compare as it's the only one I've seen in NVDA doing some interpretation.
So, I may not modify a phoneme in phonemes.yaml, because it would affect other languages, not only mine. Instead, I must create a new phoneme, then normalize it in my language yaml file. Am I correct so far?
@clv1 kind of. For language-specific tweaks: don’t edit a shared IPA key in phonemes.yaml unless you want every language to change. Instead: 1. “copy the closest phoneme to a new key (e.g. y_hu / ᴇ) in phonemes.yaml” 2. “in your packs/lang/<lang>.yaml, add a normalization rule that maps the IPA symbol to your new key” That keeps the phoneme table centralized, and language packs only decide which key to use.
Also, how can I hear each phoneme to perhaps discover better existing ones? Perhaps there should be a command line tool to extract and play phonemes, and test the voice each time I change a phoneme.
3) Do you have special settings for NVDA to pronounce IPA symbols and unicode characters in general? Synthesisers like Eloquence, or ESpeak itself, tend to stay silent on most characters like those.
President Trump announces that from Feb. 1, there’ll be a 10% tariff on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands and Finland, increasing to 25% on June 1, until a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland by the US.
I listen to someone recommend portfoliocharts.com and portfoliovisualizer.com and wonder if they're going to be accessible to me. I hope so, at least in terms of doing the things that I'd want to do, but they have "charts" and "visualizer" in their names, respectively... So we'll see. A lot of things out there weren't really designed with someone like me in mind. That's just my life. If I'm going to be using a new thing for some reason, then I'll wonder, am I going to run into any accessibility-related trouble with it?
Going to go eat something and chill a bit y'all, taking a break, let's check into the Next We Have podcast with Gareth Reynolds, love the show for chilling to. All his stuff, the more Gareth Reynolds I have in my life, the better.
It allows remapping your keyboard in many ways, and it's controlled from a simple configuration file (so, you can prepare one for your disabled friend).
You can, for example, remap the keyboard to only use its right half, if the left hand is dysfunctional (similar to the mirrored keyboard I made, github.com/clackups/qmk_firmwa… ).
Also, it should be useful for #disabledgamers , to map, for example, AWSD to different keys.
А як ви намагаєтеся спростити йому життя? Щодо мене, зараз я не вирішую ніяку проблему, але я сам сліпий, до того ж комп'ютерний ґік, люблю вселякі такі штуки, особисто коли це конфігурується у текстовому файлі.
@menelion ми випробуємо різноманітні альтернативи стандартній клавіатурі. Я зробив один фізичний прототип, але виявилося, що він не дуже зручний. Зараз розмірковуємо над новим дизайном.
А сенсорна не легше йому буде? Ну типу як у планшета, просто рухати пальцем по екрану? Взагалі, звичайно... жах. Сам терпіти не можу, коли людям мене шкода, але не можу утриматися від цього відчуття.
@menelion ні, там все складніше. Складно пояснити без відео. Рука рухається випадково, її складно націлити на клавішу. Ми уявили, що треба зменшити рух руки вздовж клавіатури, щоби простіше було націлити палець на потрібну клавішу. Тобто, кількість клавіш треба значно зменшити.
Тоді, може, щось на зразок джойстика (чи джойстиків) для вибору клавіш? Ну типу, один джойстик під одну руку, другий під іншу, і рухами вправо-вліо-вгору-вниз вибирати символ?
@BorrisInABox translation: one of our nodes has been sucked into a wormhole and will be available in approximately 9.42567 years with a latency of 7 light minutes. Your welcome.
@differentieel Yeah, that. I like the idea in principle, but just didn't want to deal with all the junk anymore. Things are worse to deal with now than they were back then.
@matthewcroughan Mostly, I got tired of getting blacklisted by <Insert_Big_Provider_Here> every couple of days, having to run around proving that I'm not a spambox or whatever.
@matthewcroughan @BorrisInABox @neil@co.uk You don't need to. You can end up on IP blacklists entirely by accident, or because $bigco just applies a weight to the entire IP range of your provider. And getting off them is hell.
@matthewcroughan @BorrisInABox It is when of them is your landlord, or your bank, or a job application, or anything else you need to interact with as an adult human.
Two of these are actual examples where I had this happen.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social Hey, I love what you do and I appreciate it, but please take the flatpak package more seriously. I hope you do this year.
Using an AppImage is not really a universal solution. For example, for those of us on musl distros (Alpine, Chimera Linux, etc.) that package is useless.
I really hope you consider treating flatpak as a first-class package because in musl it is our best and probably only option
@serrebi looks to be a timeline switching bug: it's telling me "home:" and "notifications": but not syncing it even with the setting to sync the timeline to the UI is checked. Very odd one. For sure the issue isn't that they're showing the same but that it's not shifting timelines even though the new one is announced to me. This one is tricky to pin down for sure. @Bri
@serrebi fixed: looks like I somehow had multiple instances of fastSM.exe up and running. Even simpler. Never let multiple spawn. Right now you can launch FastSM.exe as many times as you'd like. @Bri
I'm very happy with my frontend. It talks to my backend well. Saying that outloud will make me laugh every time. Sounds really dirty, but it's the truth y'all.
Indeed, I personally do notice a change in performance. To really test, just hold the tab key down. Do you hear the startings of letters consistently and does speech stop after you release it on a control right away? If so, the new frontend is not introducing performance penalties, I'd say.
Aha, how fitting for NV Speech Player. eurpod.com/synths/nvSpeechPlay… is the first version to hit the 10th file milestone for my synthesizers. It's also the first time I'm using the new directory link. This copy fixes memory corruption problems in the frontend, Post-stop aspiration block was made non-brittle now, and the applyRules allocation performance fix. No new versions for awhile until we have tweaked more languages, so I'm done with new files at least until way later in my evening or tomorrow.
one thing that I dislike about NVDA at the moment is that whenever addon updates are available, it pops up with a dialog in the middle of whatever I am doing to let me know, hey, you can update your addons! Can you just send me a toast notification? Please and thank you.
I mean you can change that. Settings>Add On Store>Automatic Updates. Honestly though it's mostly at the startup and then I don't really mind anyway, get a bunch of random shit when starting up anyway.
Sadly you can't change it to a tost notification. Like either you can disable thaht entire check I think and then you need to check yourself, or enable auto updates, which is, idk, is that really better?
People asked for it, and I do think it's a great idea! All of my Speech synthesizers live at eurpod.com/synths - easy to remember URL, and if you want to check it for updates, easy to look at for a version difference. At most, we are only keeping the last 2 versions of a synthesizer, so they will not pile up here. Still uploading some of the larger files, but in the next hour this will all be updated. The old URLs will work for now, a little bit. As time goes on I will remove them from their old locations and update the blog page to point to this folder too.
Hlučnost tepelných čerpadel vzduch-voda je předmětem mnoha debat a panuje o něm mnoho mýtů. Když u nás bylo po ránu -15 ℃, využil jsem toho a nahrál jsem si naše tepelné čerpadlo Nibe F2120-8 při teplotě, při které už si opravdu mákne. I při takto nízké teplotě se jedná jen o šum, který už pár metrů od čerpadla nijak výrazně neruší. Tento model podle výrobce dokáže pracovat přes kompresor až do teplot -25 ℃, ale technik říkal, že ho mají vyzkoušené i při -28 ℃. To je na českou zimu dostatečná rezerva.
To byl split, že? Ten asijské značky dělají především. Je to levnější, ale menší venkovní jednotka, menší ventilátor, vyšší otáčky, větší hluk. Tohle je sice velká krabice, ale i při takových teplotách si to jen spokojeně vrní.
Hehe, ty seš nadšenec, u nás bylo -17℃ a já byl tedy taky koukat, jak to běží, že to nepotřebuje použít ani elektrickou patronu, ale telefon jsem nechal doma a honem pospíchal za ním A upřímně, všímám si, že nejhlučnější je TČ v teplotách okolo nuly, asi jak je "hustší" vzduk plný vody a ten to protlačuje lamelami a i ventilátor běhá na vyšší otáčky. Jakmile je mráz a klesne vlhkost, tak je to paradoxně daleko tišší, protože ventilátor sníží otáčky. Sice se více namáhá kompresor, ale ten je u dnešních TČ tak kvalitně hlukově zaizolován, že není skoro vůbec slyšet a to ani při 17 pod nulou.
@electriccz to ráno jsem na střeše 15 minut ometal sníh z panelů, takže 15 sekund u čerpadla už byla maličkost. 🙂 Jinak mně nejhlučnější přijde, když jede na zpětný chod a chladí. To ho občas slyšíme i v koupelně, nad kterou je.
We will be doing some performance tweaks in the C++ wrapper next update. I can already see people complaining that there's a slight hit. You want to know why? I made a mistake. Or maybe GPT. Well one of us did anyway. I wrote the base C++ outline for it and then it helped me. But uh, at the moment we are allocating memory for out and copying the entire text string for every single rule, even if the rule doesn't match. If we have 50 replacement rules (common in phonology), we are re-allocating and copying the full text string 50 times per function call. Ouch ouch. I'm fixing this.
It would be easier to ignore if people (not you) made free test accounts for testing their Mastodon client posting features. *old person grumbling noises*
@jscholes Even easier when you host your own instance ;) I thought about doing that, but I'd be creating another account basically on the same server posting to the same local TL. Once I add this visibility combo box this will stop being annoying too.
@jonathan859 @jscholes Quite a bit opposite to most of the Windows clients though. Plans are for a 100% native desktop app, no scripting languages like Python or JavaScript, and for it to be closed-source shareware. If I'll actually get any users, I do not know.
@jscholes Oh, interesting. Well, will probably depend on the interface and features and stuff. I have no doubts that it'll be a great product with you developing it though. Good luck.
@flyingpenguinMwauthzyx @jscholes Unpopular opinion these days, because not everything has to be open source. I don't know anyone who'd contribute to it and I don't see the requirement. Tweesecake also wasn't OSS and people loved it. I like OSS software yes, absolutely, but it's also work to respect kinda. I know that wasn't your intention just saying my thoughts. Of course Quin can and probably has a different reason.
@jonathan859 @jscholes that is true, and I can see that side of things as well. On the other hand, I can see why people want open source software as well. They get to modify it however they see phit if there is something that they dislike or if there are things that they want to change for instance.
@jonathan859 @jscholes like for instance, currently I am using a mastadon client. And yes, I know I probably spelled that wrong. Anyways, there are a few features that I want aded, so I might just vibe code it in. As unpopulare as that is, python is not my language of choice, so as a result, I am not good at it lol.
The great thing is, people should not notice changes to existing sounds and tonality. What did change were expansions of rules we can define per language, but to everyone else, this update should not introduce changes in UK and US English, or how the voice sounds. That was not the goal. The goal was to decouple the IPA rule tokenizer into a nice, beautiful frontend.
OK. Huge huge refactoring of NV Speech Player is now complete. Download: eurpod.com/nvSpeechPlayer-2025… We now have per-language files in the packs folder. Check it out. It is currently defining 22 languages. I would like help improving these languages, now that everyone is able to modify rulesets for them. This has decoupled the rules from the IPA.py engine itself, allowing anyone to freely update and modify voice prosody, tonality, and inflection per letter and phoneme creating it. That is, huge. Languages supported: English (US, UK), Bulgarian, Chinese (Mandarin), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Spanish (Spain, Mexico), Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian and Portugal), Romanian, Slovak, Swedish. Speakers of these languages are invited to modify their language files and test to make it sound more native.
@radiorobbe wow that's definitely strange. But I think I figured it out - the driver defaults don't set good properties if you fresh-install them, so I'll tweak that a bit. Thanks for noticing, a lot of people will be upgrading and I suspect you fresh-installed which is a great observation.
Any chance you could put all your project assets in one browsable directory? You're producing a lot of updates and it's hard to keep up or find the latest things later without trawling through your timeline.
@jscholes latest copy always the base file - eventually I plan to do just releases in general on GitHub again, but first need to get passed this awful alpha stage into something people can consider a beta. It's 90% there I feel like so perhaps that change will happen sometime after or during today.
Sure but I mean that all your assets are uploaded to the root of your web server. If you were to put them all in a directory like "/synths" instead, people could save or remember that link and go there to grab stuff whenever.
@jaybird110127 not just speak window. I plan to build an entire app that helps you modify language params and see them in realtime by testing a specific word with that language.
@jaybird110127 Oh thank fuck! I have no idea how to use espeak rule editing, and the current American English is somehow even worse than espeak's own. As someone who speaks general American, at least, I'd be glad if I could help make it suck less. Did you say you had to revert to 2007 eSpeak pronunciations?
@x0 @jaybird110127 not yet. Unfortunately when the speak / edit program becomes real, I might. That's because NV Access restricted this to GPLV2 and it's the last GPL-V2-compatible form of Espeak, unfortunately. It lacks some of the phoneme conversions you could do with espeak.exe directly so I would have to hack into espeak's dll to grab them, ugh.
including any of the phoneme table rules themselves would be, yeah, unless we built that from scratch too. Basically the IPA symbols that come together to form a specific word. Right now NVDA lets you just import Espeak in the synth driver, which will also not be so easy in 2026.1 anyway, so there will come a time when this will pronounce things less sharply because it'll use old Espeak phonetic data (from 2007).
@jaybird110127 I already think its UK pronunciation has gone off too, not just the US one. Pretty sure original speech player was better than that, though I can't quite put my finger on what exactly changed.
@x0 @jaybird110127 yep that's coming next. So for secure sandboxing I'd have to include my own Espeak, and for just including a compiled copy of Espeak.exe, I think that's not breaking GPL V2/V3. What is would be is integrating it with the DLL more directly, or including Espeak's phoneme compiler so that the engine reads the phondata and phontab files Espeak uses directly + language dictionaries. That's the no-no line. So at first, going the included espeak.exe route isn't bad, just less direct. Haha I know US English will definitely get worse with 2007 Espeak, but maybe some of that was sound too, if we can get things to have better pronouncing then maybe the downgrade won't be so bad.
@jaybird110127 Ah, hell. Definitely gonna stay away from it for years then. Not just because it breaks my synths. It sounds like it'll break every damn add-on in the book, especially ones I rely on like translators which thrive on monkey patching.
@x0 @jaybird110127 unfortunately yeah. At least the re-write effort on the community will be a large one. I think they plan to give tools for sandboxing, I heard they were going to make a compatibility layer that lets you run any add-on with it or add-on devs can utilize it, but I have no idea how that's going or if it'll be ready by 2026.1, there's talk of it pushing to 2026.2. So, who knows RN LOL

Anyway, BIND 9 now also has Bug Bounty program via #YesWeHack (fosstodon.org/@iscdotorg/11576…) and we got exactly one genuine issue out of 15 (and that's issue that has been previously independently reported). The rest was: ⁃ Cryptographic Weakness in BIND 9.20.15 PRNG Enabling DNS Cache Poisoning (Bullshit AI Slop; it just proved lack of randomness in provided PoC :) ⁃ Multiple EC/TLS Private Keys Committed to Public Bind9 Repository (yeah, in system tests) (1/2)
When the European Commission approached us about funding a bug bounty for BIND 9, we were impressed with the proposal. We have a policy against bug bounties (because we were frustrated with people wasting our time), but under this proposal, the YesWeHack team would do initial triage, and use their expertise to minimize the 'slop' reports. This is a game-changer for a small development team.
The bounty program is active, and we are looking for our first valid report.
Seinfeld soup nazi vibes, absolutely love it. The use of direct copy/paste AI output in these reports is so incredibly disrespectful to you and anyone else who works on your program. And shame on H1 for allowing this nonsense.
Games I love like Warsim, The Wastes, and usurper inspired me to think about creating my own console-based game. Then I wrote 750 lines of code just to make a reusable system for console menus. And realized the save system is going to be another 500 lines, probably. And then the settings system. And after thinking about 2000 lines of code before I can get to anything even resembling the simplest game mechanic, I'm not inspired, anymore. Why is 99 percent of programming doing the least interesting part of any project?
Early in my programming career I wrote a whole series of functions that did the mundane things in a business program. Then I wrote a program that allowed me to create input and output screens WYSIWYG. Those screens called my functions. In a few weeks of work, which was kinda fun, I eliminated many days of tedium for each application I was to write over the next decade.
Keep that in mind when you build the foundation. You do it once.
@RegGuy Hmmm. I only wish I found that kind of thing fun. But it's just a lot of thinking about menu lists and settings objects and what gets passed where and how and what's global and blah.
@MostlyBlindGamer@RegGuy Right, but it would take me just as long to understand someone else's engine as it would to right my own. And none of them do quite what I want, anyway. IE a terminal window with options you select by entering a single number or character and pressing enter. They're all command-based. But if I want sighted players I have to think about output colors. And so that means a settings object. And some people want ASCII boarders ("---------" etc) and some don't. So now we have a bunch of case statements and need to check colour and ascii art settings. And if we're doing that we might as well do sound, too, to have an earcon when prompting for an option and a click when an option is selected. But now that means an audio library. And utilities to think about file paths and including assets. And now we're at 2000 lines just for menus.
@MostlyBlindGamer@RegGuy And we haven't even talked about localization. Because if I want that it has to be done at the start, or else it becomes a huge impossible thing later.
Lots of people struggle to prioritise fun over flexibility. My suggestion is to organically build those boring boilerplate systems bit by bit as they're needed. No menu system might mean manually editing stuff in a file between runs during initial development, but is probably better than no game.
@jscholes If I do it that way, it just means refactoring later, though. And that's even harder and less fun because now you're rebuilding things that already exist.
If you haven't built a menu system to begin with, there'll be nothing to rebuild. The refactoring will mostly be limited to slotting it in once you start.
If you've built one early that doesn't actually solve the problems you end up needing it to, or solves them in a way that ultimately makes it hard to integrate, that's when you'll end up rewriting stuff.
That said, thinking about object graphs, what gets passed where, and other architectural stuff is legitimately my favourite part of software dev. But I can't really do it without at least a semi-useful or interesting project to apply it to.
@jscholes Hah. So this all started when I decided I wanted a class where I could create a new menu, add the selection key, a name, and a callback function for each item, then call the menu to print itself and do all the input and error checking, and call the callback for whatever item was chosen. And then it just kept growing. I'm not even at the object graph stage. I just hate most of the text games I mentioned, where every menu looks and acts different, because print statements and case statements are just sprinkled all over the code.
@jscholes If I ever finish the basics, the thing I'm aiming for, probably in 70 years or so, is a singleplayer trade wars/elite style space game. Planetary exploration, trading, combat, procedurally generated galaxy, etc. All the stuff we have in that style is either multiplayer PVP, or only semi-accessible like smugglers5. Interface via console menus, because that feels both simple and retro. But with stuff happening in realtime like textspaced used to be (it's now discontinued), and high quality sound. The idea is you just let it run on your taskbar and check in every 20-30 minutes when you hear something that needs doing. So kind of casual all-day play while multitasking. I've dreamed of something like that for like 20 years, but nobody has done anything even close. Textspaced was the nearest, but it never quite got there, and it's gone, now.
From the standpoint of accessibility-first, need recommendations for office suite software that is not Microsoft Office? It doesn't have to do everything that MS Office does. Documents and spreadsheets are all I really need. I'm also rather hesitant to go the Google route for this stuff. Libre Office? OpenOffice? Any ideas?

as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.
Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.
As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky :) ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.
What do you think, anybody interested?
Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?
I’ve found an issue with syllable start detection compared to Python. In Python, the detection starts at a consonant if it's followed by a vowel, which influences pitch path calculation. This could explain some differences. But there’s also an exception for stressed vowels. Interesting!

The amount of times Google Gemini gave me a solid code correction and answer while Chat GPT sits there thinking and thinking is staggering, honestly it's making me disavow it because it's not like this is better in "pro" mode. I noticed Gemini "thinks" in smaller chunks but it could be just that they update the process more often. Regardless, GPT, you're beginning to really really suck. Gemini can give me the same quality of C++ and Python code recommendations, it's still shit when pasting back full code for you so better when patching, which is about the only thing holding me back from it as opposed to GPT. Gemini can read attachments but it doesn't quite get the same containerization treatment - GPT mounts your files from /mnt/data, Gemini clearly stores it somewhere and can read but when writing it is restricted from spitting back a file for you and envoking commands in a container. Huge downside to Google, ugh. Something that using a local Gemini Cli instance could solve though, honestly.
You wanna talk about Gemini? They fixed the uploading multiple files thing in AI Studio, now the response formatting is all fucked up so each file isn't a single code block anymore and the download/copy buttons are gone. Fix one thing, enshitify another.

I will switch to Espeak sometimes in this workflow (or Speechplayer) and see how it speaks the symbol and compare as it's the only one I've seen in NVDA doing some interpretation.

That keeps the phoneme table centralized, and language packs only decide which key to use.
