there is no apparent trend in either count or rate over the time spanned by this data set; however, the cutoff below 150 uses may mean that we are looking entirely at outliers.

@zwol I was looking for something completely unrelated on Wikipedia, which then linked me to The Big Lebowski, which then linked me to that.

> Both the U.S. and China are major countries that use incarcerated workers and pay them pennies on the dollar, if at all. Legal advocates say prisoners in the U.S. are exploited and pressured to work, because convicts do not enjoy full protection of the country's employment laws. Prison labor in China is even less regulated.

Before I go to bed for the day I'm just gonna leave this here because I definitely didn't just spend an hour playing when I should probably be resting. Someone just made an accessibility mod for Balatro and now I understand why this game blew up. If you haven't heard of it, you're basically making the best poker hands possible with a standard card deck trying to reach increasingly higher score targets. For reaching them you get money which you can use in the shop to buy various upgrades and special cards that let you get even higher scores, which gives you more money... And that's how the game loop works. All this is accompanied by some very chill background music and satisfying sound effects. Another win for #GameAccessibility for sure. You can find the mod here forum.audiogames.net/topic/541…

Do you love hearing your NVDA say "row 1 through 2 column 2 table with 4 rows and 2 columns row 3 through 4 column 2 table with 2 rows and 2 columns row 1 column 1 ⁠" and "row 3 through 4 column 2 table with 2 rows and 2 columns row 1 column 1 ⁠" you don't need to look far, just read a Wikipedia page like this one.

Am I the only person who turns off headings, tables, lists, landmarks, etc. etc. for browse mode? One of the first things I do with a new installation.
in reply to Jage

@Jage I usually turn off tables, lists, and landmarks. I keep headings for navigation.
@Jage
in reply to Pratik Patel

@ppatel @Jage I usually keep them on mostly to get the experience of the default settings as close as I can (as my QA / test-centric brain has forced me into it.) Also, I worry that if I were to disable these, I wouldn't know whether I've stepped into a table and more crucially its boundaries or dimensions, something that's helpful info to me to have so I know how many blocks to navigate by within my memory.
in reply to Tamas G

@Jage I keep my testing setup separate. There, I definitely keep all the structural announcements.
@Jage
in reply to Pratik Patel

@ppatel @Jage I wish you could disable announcements for the table role but still get dimensions (like 3 rows and 4 columns) - looking at some sites I visit, it could be extremely difficult to tell whether the part of the page belongs to the table data or as actual text on it, which would still disorient me a lot. I do disable some, like clickable elements that I would have on for testing, as those tend to annoy me the most on sites hearing it repeated.
in reply to Tamas G

@ppatel @Jage honestly, I had no idea that you could turn them off. I honestly might do that. Especially because I read a lot of Wikipedia pages, and sometimes it gets very annoying to hear that information.
in reply to John Dowling, Jr.

@jmd2000 @ppatel @Jage this is where I do wish NVDA had site-specific settings though, because it would be nice to have that info off for certain domains and not others. If I'm just looking at specs for a product or something like that on Wikipedia the table info just serves even less use once it's more than like 10 columns wide.
in reply to Tamas G

@pixelate That is one of the things that would steer me away from using NVDA on a more regular basis honestly. I do not like how verbose it is about tables.

For signing and notarizing a desktop app written in Python, you might be interested in encrust (github.com/glyph/encrust) by @glyph. See also this blog post: blog.glyph.im/2023/03/py-mac-a…
in reply to MikoΕ‚aj HoΕ‚ysz

@miki Not true, you just need to allow the app to run in Settings rather than right clicking and choosing open.
in reply to Chi Kim

@ZBennoui I think you can do it in settings but not in the context menu any more.

Not on the beta though.

in reply to MikoΕ‚aj HoΕ‚ysz

@miki @ZBennoui correct, you have to go through privacy settings, where it'll give you an "open anyway" button. Or you can xattr -c the application from the terminal which is probably a bit faster.

I think that Matrix is better in the sense that there is one specification and two official reference implementations, one in Python and one in golang while XMPP has a base specification and dozens of additional specification and end to end encryption is either provided by OpenPGP, Off the Record or the newer specification and all of these are incompatible with one another.

When you say it's an "EGA text parser" game, what exactly does that mean?

in reply to Matt Campbell

To clarify, I know what parser games are in general, but am unsure what "EGA" means in the context of a modern Windows game. Is it recreating an EGA aesthetic using a modern engine? Is the underlying parser-based game using an interpreter like Glulx or a Z-machine interpreter?

I want to determine if it would be feasible to make the game accessible to blind people using screen readers.

How to increase the timeout for a timeline fetch operation?


I'm currently trying to use a tool named FediFetcher, specifically to try backfilling certain Lemmy groups that are taking much longer than usual to sync, sometimes taking up to one week to receive a message. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the step where I try to fetch the lists where these groups are, because it inevitably fails due to a timeout of 60 seconds that I cannot figure out how to raise. For instance, this is the output of FediFetcher:

$ bash fedifetcher.sh
2024-08-08 15:50:10 UTC: Starting FediFetcher
2024-08-08 15:50:10 UTC: Getting context for 677 lists
2024-08-08 15:51:10 UTC: Job failed after 0:01:00.229908.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1640, in <module>
    timeline_toots = get_list_timeline(arguments.server, user_list, token, arguments.max_list_length)
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1424, in get_list_timeline
    posts = get_paginated_mastodon(url, max, {
  File "/home/admin/FediFetcher/find_posts.py", line 1043, in get_paginated_mastodon
    raise Exception(
Exception: Error getting URL https://hub.azkware.net/api/v1/timelines/list/1. Status code: 504

I've been digging through the source code and cannot figure out whether the limit is on Friendica itself, on PHP (or FPM), or on the database. This is a list of files, and the edits I have added, in the hopes of raising that 60-second timeout:
  • /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf:


innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 600

  • /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/friendica.conf:


pm.max_requests = 0
request_terminate_timeout = 1d
php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 600
php_admin_value[set_time_limit] = 0

  • /var/www/friendica/config/local.config.php:


'worker_max_duration' => [
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_CRITICAL   => 1440,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_HIGH       => 20,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_MEDIUM     => 120,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_LOW        => 360,
    Friendica\Core\Worker::PRIORITY_NEGLIGIBLE => 1440
]

And of course, the "Network Timeout" option in the main admin page was raised from 60 to 600, to no avail. Any suggestions?

@Friendica Admins @Friendica Support

in reply to Carlos SolΓ­s

These are the wrong places they are meant for something completely different. It seems as if your webserver cuts the connection after 60 seconds.
in reply to Carlos SolΓ­s

I think I found the proper place to change it, for those that are in a similar issue. On your site's nginx settings file (in my case /etc/nginx/conf.d/hub.azkware.net.d/friendica.conf), edit this section to add the following parameters (which I copied from the defaults for Nextcloud):
 location ~ \.php(?:$|/) {
    fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 600;
    fastcgi_connect_timeout 600;
    proxy_connect_timeout 600;
    proxy_send_timeout 600;
    proxy_read_timeout 600;
    send_timeout 600;
  }
