A revised copy of the reaper navigation scripts I semi-created have been revised by Scott and added to Toni Barth REAPER Things reapack repo, located at https:/github.com/Timtam/reapack/raw/master/index.xml.
@vick21 I agree, just as Delta became part of reaper for effects. That was something that I had made years ago in the form of an effects chain, but Scot brought the idea forward and it is part of reaper today.
Here it is. I went through many many Youtube videos to dig out these. The sounds of: First a Monarch, then a dotPad X, then the Cadence. all 3, side by side. Interesting to me that DotPad's noise is more fragmented, maybe a tad louder than Monarch, almost on-par with Cadence. Cadence may be the loudest, but also fastest-refreshing (which is where they'll always have an advantage, even when you pair 2 or 4 that refresh rate doesn't go up.) Refresh rates between DotPad and Monarch feel comparable to me: Around 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, depending on your text's complexity.
@Bri yeah, granted perhaps if you equalized volumes to the exact same levels on all 3, I still think Cadence comes out as loudest, then DotPad very very close (and also a sharper sound) while Monarch leaves that almost softer noise piezo-electric Braille makes but more in a wave. I find that interesting as you'd think DotPad would refresh a little faster, but it appears to still be about the same, it's only a marginal change despite 25% less pins.
@vick21 I do wonder if DotPad X has the membrane around it, like how Monarch does. If it's not the same kind of feeling that way then we know it also helps to dampen noise to some extent, as it would probably be a super sharp-sounding wave without it perhaps. But who knows. I'm sure there's a reason the DotPad X costs somehow were kept down at 1/3 of Monarch, despite having 1/3 less cells overall.
@vick21 20 cells instead of 40 less lines no internal apps on Dot Pad. That's how. i'm not critical of any of them and think they all have their place but glad to have my Monarch back.

I took a call from someone with questions about the Blazie Technologies products. He told me that he was a former customer of Blazie Engineering and how much he enjoyed those products. I was then quite amused when he told me that I was too young to remember those products, such as the disk drive accessory that was sold as a storage device for products like the Braille 'n Speak. I should have thought to tell him that I co-wrote the disk drive manual but I guess I'm so old I forgot to mention it. 😀
I know it's late notice, but a friend of mine has two tickets for the Super Bowl. They are box seats and he paid $3,500 per ticket, which includes the ride to and from the airport, lunch, dinner, a $400.00 bar tab and a pass to the winners locker room after the game. What he didn't realize, when he bought them last year, was that it's on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place. It's at St. Paul's Church at 3 p.m. Her name is Ashley. She's 5'4", about 115 pounds, a good cook, loves to fish and hunt and will clean your truck. She'll be the one in the white dress.
I got obsessed with painting Capybaras in January of 2024 because I love their cuteness, calm, and peacefulness. Can't believe how many paintings I've made! Proud of each and every one of them!

Are there any good video players for Linux for TV shows? The user experience I'm seeking is:
- I select a folder to play - I start watching - I close the app - Sometime later, I reopen the app and it loads the playlist I was watching, at roughly the same position
In essence, I want the Netflix viewing experience except with the media I already have.
Please don't recommend hacks. I'm looking for sane defaults. I prefer an app that targets #GNOME but, really, anything will do.
my kids' DeutschlandTickets were cancelled because my name changed and we had to get new ones for everyone. another count for the "programmers mysteriously believe name field is immutable" systems
You know there is something that really make my blood boil. Two years ago I apply for a job at some place. Was denied. Now I get 2.5 years later spam like I am one of their customers.
The worst? I had in my notes they did that in Dec 2 years ago already. And I'm pretty sure I *unsubscribed*
That why we need privacy laws. (but then they are in the US so it's moot)

@jscholes It'd make a pretty nifty drama, a la Adolescence. I went to bed with Last Lesson expecting a so-so story and got out of bed to review it at half 1 in the morning. Sadly as I age, books that fizz me like that are rarer.
Fun fact: The Cadence braille display, made by Tactile Engineering, is manufactured in Lafayette, Indiana, USA, utilizing local Indiana and Midwest tech companies for its advanced components, with support from Purdue University connections. Might also be why it's priced closer to a standard 40-cell display per module, but I would rather support manufacturing that's here at-home (US) Probably unavoidable that some parts could be made elsewhere, like a specific microcontroler or other smaller piece, but from what I've gathered and info I read they are assembled and components for the cells manufactured here. Fairly awesome, and again it's why I love supporting local, including the BTSpeak too which is at least north-American made and US serviced. By contrast I'm sure the larger companies do their manufacturing and assembly more internationally.
I was under the impression that the modules for the vast majority of Braille Displays were made by a single German company. Not sure where I got the info from though.

The way I see it is that any anti-trust concern about Netflix will be ignored for Skydance/Paramount, if their hostile takeover is sucessfull. Why? Because they are friends with the dictator and it funded by the Saudis masquerading as the son-in-law... Netflix deal was already above the initial offer from Skydance.
Either way the biggest losers are gonna be the people, and all the one actually making shit.
“Cows die, Family die, You will die the same way. I know only one thing That never dies: The reputation of the one who’s died.”
-Hávamál 77
Together with verse 76, which is much the same, this is the most famous part of the Havamal. 76 starts the same and says that “a good reputation never dies, for the one who earns it well,” but I prefer this verse. It implies that the reputation you have earned at your death is the one that will stick around, whether good or bad.
The advice, then, is to work on that reputation while you have time to do so. Leaving a good legacy is more than doing one good deed, it's continuing to be a good person as you grow and change with life.
I think this also applies to remembering those who have passed. Odin wouldn’t say, “Don’t speak ill of the dead.” Everyone should be remembered as they lived, even if they were an asshole, and it’s okay to say so.

This is just a guess, but since NVDA 2026.1 has officially finished its new-feature phase and development has now moved on to 2026.2, it wouldn’t be surprising if @NVAccess releases the first beta of NVDA 2026.1 in the coming days. Considering the huge changes related to the 64-bit transition and the difficulty some add-ons have had keeping up, especially those tied to speech engines and other low-level components, it would be an interesting milestone in its own way. And let's see how users will react to the super-basic, and hugely error-prone, offline AI model used despite all warning signs in place.
I have been hearing a lot about the new Llama CPP UI but have not tried it yet. This week I am going to run it in a real on device AI workflow and see how well it fits into my day to day work as a blind iOS developer. If you are using LlamaCPP or similar local model tooling, how is the new UI working for you in practice. What does it do well, and what still gets in your way. #AI #OnDeviceAI #LlamaCPP
Recently we completed a security audit of Thunderbird Send, our upcoming end-to-end encrypted large file sharing service, with the help of the @ostifofficial and 7ASecurity. Read our summary of the report's findings, and learn how we've acted on these recommendations to be more secure and worthy of the trust our user community places in us.
While I think it's a bummer that Firefox Send does not return for free (which is understandable), I really like the transparency here and all the effort (and provably money) you put into ensuring your product is secure and trustworthy 👍
I might have a new prayer: God, give me confidence of DHH claiming his proprietary license is Open Source. 37signals/Basecamp has a great new product called Fizzy, whose brilliance and innovative q…
I mean DHH will be DHH, and that's why I avoid anything related to him, his companies, and his projects. Don't get me wrong, not everything he says is worthless. I mostly agree with his approach to modular/majestic applications, but even a broken clock is right twice a day!
I have no stake in this, but he does say it isn't open source, but the "source is open" which could be true if the person hadn't already proven themselves to be disingenuous.
As to the product... "Fun and shiny" isn't something that is going to move anyone away from Atlassian's implementstion.
"This is done under the O'Saasy License, which is basically the do-whatever-you-want-just-don't-sue MIT License, but with a carve-out that reserves the commercialization rights to run Fizzy as SaaS for us as the creators. That means it's not technically Open Source™, but the source sure is open, and you can find it on our public GitHub repository."
Don’t ignore me… and don’t ignore my innocent children. Please, don’t underestimate how much even a little can help — a small amount truly makes a big difference.
If just 5 people donate right now, each with $5, I’ll be able to buy my child a winter jacket to keep him warm in this cold weather. Please… don’t hesitate. Your small support can change a child’s life. 💔
