I'm still not sure how I feel about haptic trackpads on laptops. It's a mixed bag. For one, the ability to disable it completely from within Windows Trackpad options is nifty, then it just turns into a slab of pressable glass under your keyboard which has a slight spring to it. Ha. On the downside, though, every time the speaker is at louder volume (and this laptop has 4, so I assume it's the bottom-facing wufers causing this,) the inside of the trackpad make a slight raddle sound, sort of like the old BrailleNote classics did with their singular speakers raddling the Braille pins, you know? OK, you probably don't, but either way it's not pleasant. Placing my hand over the trackpad will stop the noise, and again it's very slight and only at louder volumes, but still. The downside to a haptic trackpad.
Hallo @Friendica Support , meine Instanz dica.interfel.de liefert seit vorhin Err 504 Gateway Time-out zurück. Sie liegt bei Uberspace und der DNS-Eintrag funktioniert offenbar. Die Datenbank scheint auch ok, ich habe gerade erfolgreich ein Backup davon erstellt. Konsole und Performance auf der Konsole, Quota usw sind ok.
Die einzige Änderung der letzten Monate ist die Aktivierung des Addons Bluesky. Es lief bis gestern Abend sauber und hat drei Accounts von Bluesky in meine Timeline integriert. Mehr nicht.
Habe als erste Maßnahme gerade auf der Konsole versucht, das Addon zu deaktivieren, aber der entsprechende Befehl scheint das Addon nicht zu finden: [... bin]$ console addon disable bluesky [Error] Addon nicht gefunden
Der Befehl zum Auflisten aller aktiven Addons liefert auch nur eine leere Liste: [... bin]$ ./console addon list enabled +------+---------+ | Name | Enabled | +------+---------+ | | | +------+---------+
Gibt es irgendwelche Ideen dazu, was ich tun kann?
So funktioniert schon mal der 'disable bluesky'-Befehl - zumindest kommt keine Fehlermeldung. ./bin/console list enabled wirft allerdings die gesamte Liste aller Addons raus, obwohl ich nur einige wenige aktiviert habe.
Der '504' kommt immer noch. Es ist die Friendica 2024.06.
Kann ich über die Konsole irgendwie einen relevanten Status herausfinden? ./bin/console maintenance 1 bzw 0 funktioniert übrigens einwandfrei.
Leider kein Protokoll mehr, nachdem die Instanz seit langem unauffällig lief. Kann ich das Protokoll (trotz "Ich hoffe...") manuell irgendwo einschalten?
Der Fehler ist behoben, aber das Konsolenkommando zum Einschalten des Friendica-Protokolls wäre bei Gelegenheit trotzdem von Interesse. So für das Befehls-Archiv.
Habe aufgrund Deines Hinweises mal das PHP-Log von Uberspace aktiviert. Das dauerte sehr lange und hatte schon durchs Einschalten dutzende ERRORs im sehr langen Logfile. Dann auf die PHP-Version auf 8.1 umgestellt und erneut das PHP-Log aktiviert. Drei Zeilen im Log und "ready to handle connections".
Laut History war zuvor PHP 8.0 aktiviert und war wohl Ursache des Problems. Irgendetwas muss vergangene Nacht bei Uberspace verändert worden sein.
Die Instanz läuft nun wieder erwartungsgemäß und Deine Hilfe bei der Konsole hat mich auf die Spur gebracht. Vielen vielen Dank dafür!

Real time collaboration software and text boxes that rapidly save drafts to the cloud essentially log your fingerprintable typing behavior. The industry refers to this information as “keystroke dynamics” or “typing biometrics”.
Keystroke biometrics are difficult to anonymize without installing software such as kloak or browser extensions (the latter of which may add fingerprintable vectors) designed to cloak some of your typing habits. Signature typos, approximate typing speed, etc. will still leak. Alternatively, we could normalize typing messages out in a simple offline editors that don’t store revision history before pasting them into other input fields.
Would any editor with an undo history apply as well?
Even for the case of vim, where (I'm not familiar with how history is really stored, only guessing that) undo checkpoints are determined by switching from insert to normal mode, there is still fingerprintable information in how often and where someone switches to normal mode.
@hedy Strictly speaking, yes. But since it’s stored offline I’m less worried. I’d be even less worried if programs on Linux were sandboxed properly by default and had runtime permissions to view shared filesystems.
What a refreshing story!

Absinthe is back, says The Observer. The emerald spirit – beloved by “history’s most bohemian creatives, from Oscar Wilde to Vincent van Gogh” – was nicknamed the “green fairy” thanks to its supposed hallucinatory properties (possibly something to do with its whopping 70% alcohol content). In 1915, French officials banned the drink for almost a century, but an EU rule change overturned the ban, and in recent years the harsh-tasting liqueur has become something of a staple at in-the-know bars.
Me and a few friends had a night on the absinthe once.
One thing we noticed was that it made us incredibly flatulent. Being the mature grownups we were at the time, we decided it'd be funny to let rip into jars, and seal them up.
Anyway, next day, in my jar, there was a tiny motorbike- a replica of the CRF1100L Africa Twin.
Unbelievably, this is a common occurrence, and all the bikes came from the same manufacturer.
Turns out that absinthe makes the fart grow Honda.
dream, racism, historical inaccuracy, strangeness, long post, anti-black and anti-Irish prejudice
Sensitive content
My entire night last night was taken up with a long, involved #WeirdDream. Apparently my subconscious is both racist and terrible at history. I'm sharing because it was so detailed, long, and nonsensical that it's kind of impressive. As it opened, I was somehow teleported to what the dream called 1700's New York City. I decided that the best way to become wealthy and successful would be to invent the record player, years before Edison was even born! Unfortunately, I put tons of effort into it (somehow involving origami tinfoil birds), without realizing the obvious flaw: why would anyone buy a record player, when it's cheaper just to pay an Irish girl a penny and she'll come to your house and sing for you? As everyone but me probably already knows, every single street corner in 1700's New York City had an absolutely identical Irish girl clone on it. Same voice, same appearance, same clothes, and apparently no name or anything. But all the Irish girls could sing, and they all knew the same songs. If you taught one Irish girl a new song, all of the other ones would just immediately know it. So record players were just unnecessary and expensive! Thankfully, I had a second idea to ensure my wealth and success: I invented a slide projector, and an easy way to create slides that involved crystals, lenses, and movable type. It went gangbusters! The New York Times loved it, and said "Thanks to the invention of PowerPoint, mankind has achieved the pinnacle of human civilization." Unfortunately for me, not everyone was happy, and I found myself betrayed by the New York City police (all of whom were absolutely identical Irish men) who were still upset about the record player thing. They allowed me to be kidnapped by what my dream ambiguously identified as an African tribe. The tribe put me on a ship and we sailed to the jungle (lots of rocking and floating sensations), where the chief started to yell at me. He was upset because now that I had given the white man the mighty PowerPoint, his entire culture would be unable to survive, and the whites would surely use PowerPoint to exterminate all of them. Fortunately for me, I figured out how to dematerialize my hands (it felt extremely tingly, and I'm pretty sure my real hands had fallen asleep at this point) and slip them out of the handcuffs. Then the dream turned into a silly action sequence involving swinging on vines and climbing trees as I tried to escape the jungle. Lots of rocking and swinging and falling, and I think I was starting to wake up. Then my alarm went off and I woke up completely before my jungle escape could get resolved. Anyway, now I pretty much have the entire plot for a new 1920's style pulp fiction book for boys. Tom Swift And His Electric Slide Projector, maybe? Good grief, I have absolutely no idea where all of that nonsense came from. Yet it somehow felt meaningful; something about how bureaucracy is the first requirement for genocide, and slavery only goes away when the alternatives are cheaper, maybe? I dunno. But it was one of the extremely rare (for me) dreams where I woke up and felt like I was supposed to take...something...away from that experience. I just wish I knew what.
that is very very very cool that someone is finally making this happen! I wish I could help test it, but from what I am hearing, it is on discord, and me and that program don't get along. lol.
@Tamasg I can already think of suggestions, but this is super awesome that it has finally happened. I will tell you you do have to adjust your speed inj the general tts aria. they don't ahve a speed thing yet in the actual app, and I had to put it at 78 percent just to get it at almoost a normal rate, but like I said, this is alpha. I am sure there will be lots of changes being made kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkksoon.
@JamminJerry lol as bad as it is, it's making me wonder if we could get it ported on iOS too just as we have the ESpeak one, but it's an entirely different beast there and Android needed more of the TTS options with as stale as some of the engines were going.
@Tamasg @JamminJerry And with Optispeech in development, we'll have a better, definitely more future-proof alternative to Vocalizer for those seaking a human-like speech engine that's actually responsive.
@Tamasg oh boy! I think I might have found a phone that the dec-talk doesn't like. lol. just tried to change from google tts to dec-talk on the smart vision 3, and it is like the whole phone froze. lol. touch screen isn't working, and even the arrow keys are not working at all either. woopsy! lol.
@JamminJerry oh noooo. If you have ADB access to the phone by chance you might be able to remove the package via the PM command and then it should revert your TTS to the default installed one
@JamminJerry oof yeah, that's quite a pickle to be in right there. Sometimes I've "blindly" tapped the bottom right corner of my screen which accepted it, but it's such a hit or miss type situation then.
@JamminJerry hmm. You'd first need to find the exact package name (unless Jack knows this) - type: adb shell pm list packages | grep "micro" Then you can do an adb uninstall with that package name after words.
@JamminJerry well, the "grep" part there at the end filters through for you, so in theory it should only show packages that have the word micro in their name. You can play around if nothing comes up with other names like "dectalk" in case the package name isn't exact.
ah darn. that's right, it's windows being Windows. you'll have to separate them (so do adb shell first, then hit enter, and the other part of the command after) You can just type exit after to go back to the command prompt and do adb unstall like normal with that package name.
@Tamasg oh dear. I think something really broke. I just tried pressing and holding the volume keys to get talkback on, and I got a notification sound, but still no talkback. oh boy.
@JamminJerry wow hmm. Maybe it needs a full reboot? In theory it should revert you to the last enabled TTS (or a default one like Pico / Google TTS if those came with the system)
@Tamasg what if somehow I get the latest talkback installer, and somehow install it using adb? could that work, or would that break things even worse? I mean I would somehow have to get the installer for talkback, but yeah.
@JamminJerry yeah, I think sites like apkmirror do host the files for the accessibility suite, unfortunately you'd need to know if you have a 32 or 64-bit chip (most times these days that's arm-64) and grab the right apk file for it. I'm in a work meeting else I would xD
@Tamasg we learned a valuable lesson here today. don't install the dec-talk tts on the smart vision 3 or you will really screw things up. lol. if you are still going to try messing with the dec-talk on the smart vision 3, make sure you have ADB connected, and aloud on the smart vision 3 before installing dec-talk so that if it does what it did to me, you can at least uninstall itk, and get talkback working normally again. lol. I did get it to talk once, when I pressed and held the volume keys to turn talkback on or off, but only once did it say anything at all.
@JamminJerry lol! Super glad you got it working! Wish we could debug exactly what's happening with that phone, in theory things should work since it has both 32 and 64-bit libraries, so maybe certain Cotlin-based apps don't play as nice on older Android versions. Was looking at it though and love how minimally it's built.
@Tamasg @JamminJerry Works great on the braille sense for everything and sense player for third party apps that use android tts. I am finishing my demo tomorrow showing why we need android tts support throughout the sense player.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg I can tell you right now, I don't see the whole third party tts thing going anywhere with the sense player. they will just tell you it is a multimedia device.
@JamminJerry @jpellis2008 sadly maybe not. They treat it differently from their BrailleSense 6 a bit which is a shame, and maybe that's on purpose, who knows. This is good news though as it does mean it'll work with the BS6 which I do have to test it out on with Android 12 there.
@Tamasg @jpellis2008 well like I just told him, it isn't going to happen. they won't do itl. if I am wrong in the next 18 months, I will give him 15 bucks.
@JamminJerry @Tamasg And that is exactly why it is needed and I will be pointing that out. If it was hard for them to actually implement it I would agree with you but it isn't, just backport from the braille sense. I assume it might literally take seconds to change the code.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg I will tell you what. if I am wrong, and with in the next year and a half if they actually make it to where you can use what ever ttws you want on the sense player, I will pay you 15 dollars. no it isn't much, but there you go. I am telling you it isn't going to happen.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg they could, yes. they could have done it way back when I talked to them three different times about it. they didn't, and they won't.
@JamminJerry @jpellis2008 lol I think the issue is that the Sense Player is not Play certified like the BS6, and to them this makes enough of a difference to class-distinguish it. I still can't get why they couldn't play certify a device at that price unless it's hardware related though, but it may be why they locked down shell and settings so much on that.
I am also pointing out in my demo that this has nothing to do with any certifications as I have the braille sense signed out of all google services so it acts as if it isn't certified.
@Tamasg @jpellis2008 as much as that thing costs, they could have done the play services no problem. for what you pay for that thing, they should have built a better body for it too. hell! the victor is cheaper, and doesn't do anywhere near as much, but it is built a lot more stirdy than the sense player, and what in the hell is it with the microphones on the wrong side? not only that, why is the monitoring recording so shitty? seriously? I mean come on!
@Tamasg ok, it works. it works. meaning talkback is talking again. I don't know why it didn't say it was avaialble, but I have talkback once again. lol.
@Tamasg oh wow! I think talkback got totally hosed! so I just pressed the google assistant button, and said, "turn on talkback." I just heard from google that talkback isn't available on your device. this isn't good at all!
Dectalk for Android recently fixed a bug that caused it to default to an abnormally high pitch range. As a parting gift, here is said bug as if it were an expiring trial of decTalk for Android.
@fireborn It's a dictionary parsing issue that is being worked through. I think because Microdectalk is 4.2-based, and the 4.99 dictionaries aren't entirely working.
@fireborn Yeah, they're trying to make it run on Dectalks' standard frequency with some success in a test environment, but right now on the actual builds it's using Microdectalk's default.
"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

Continuing on my journey to switch to Windows Terminal, I want my various terminals to have separate pinned icons on the taskbar so I can get to each one quickly with Windows+number. Nothing I do seems to allow me to do this. There are command line arguments to focus a specific tab in a specific window, but that doesn't help with the initial launch where you need to specify a command line. This all worked just fine with conhost and various shortcuts. 😩
I found a very ugly, not at all intuitive way to do it: 1. Create a shortcut which starts the terminal with the desired command line, specifying a unique window name with the -w option; e.g.: wt -w wsl wsl.exe ~ 2. Create another shortcut which focuses the first tab in the same window name; e.g.: wt -w wsl ft -t 0 3. Pin the second shortcut to the taskbar, but not the first. You can then delete the second shortcut from wherever you created it if you like. 4. When you want to launch it, you'll have to use the first shortcut. However, once launched, you can use the pinned taskbar shortcut to switch to it.
It took me a while just to figure out how to create a simple shortcut to open a specific Windows Terminal - mainly so that I could open a WSL Terminal at a specific folder without navigating to it.
I tested pinning one of those just now, but as you note, my shortcut doesn't manage new vs multiple tab instances.
Windows Terminal keeps improving and sometimes surprises me as I continue to learn more neat things about it, but it definitely still has some awkward quirks!
"In his new book, Supercommunicators, the journalist Charles Duhigg writes that one of the most common sources of conflicts in relationships is when partners don’t agree on the type of conversation they’re having. Some conversations are practical: Let’s solve a problem together. Others are emotional: Let’s talk about and understand our feelings. Many fights mistake practical for emotional conversations, and vice versa."
I read in a magazine today that, by 2040, only 1.5 million people in the UK will rely on a TV aerial. There were supposedly some in that picture and I wonder how many of them are up without being used these days.

I have emphasized numerous times in the past why you should not use #HCaptcha, especially in situations where equal access is vital. Their practices are not inclusive, locking out users who have no other way to access whatever the captcha protects. This blog post illustrates one of the scenarios: michaels.world/2023/11/i-was-b…
Also known as: why you shouldn't trust a company who makes their product intensionally inaccessible with allowing you an accessibility workaround Update: I've been informed that hCaptcha now has a text captcha option.
