Nearly all clients are connected via ipv6 on my server, but you can never be sure, people can use a stupid wifi etc. So it's good to have a turn server just in case.
My Alditalk mobile contract gives me ipv6 @daniel
Some in my family had ipv6 not enabled in the APN settings. I turned it on then then it just worked. Don't know why it isn't always the default.
@daniel
May very well be that it is newish for some carriers.
Progress 🎉
All in all I have the feeling Germany has nearly full support for ipv6 everywhere. (not in corporate networks, OK)
But it isn't bad anymore.

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣
Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.
The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum…
It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥

1/N Starting to write an outline of article about how open source maintainers (especially of data science and scientific computing libraries) can reduce carbon emissions, and realized I might get to talk about my favorite ACM Computing Survey paper, "Systems Approaches to Tackling Configuration Errors: A Survey" (tianyin.github.io/pub/csur.pdf) and related research by Tianyin Xu and collaborators.
This is just one point out of many, but it's maybe the most surprising—
Had to explain to another user why asking a volunteer project to fix an issue is inappropriate.
And I get that's it's a really subtle point here between saying "I also have this problem" (fine) and "Please fix this issue" (not ok)
i.e. You can only ask people you have a relationship with to do work for you. You can NOT ask strangers to labour for you for free, even if you think it's important, or appropriate.

So questions for #Blind #Edgucaters, #teachers, #school staff and anyone in the #education field as a whole.
I am a university student who originally planned to double major in computer science and elementary education, but I’ve recently faced some concerns that I’d like to address.
I’ve been told that pursuing a teaching certification might not be advisable because schools may be reluctant to hire a teacher with low vision, who is mostly blind, to manage a classroom of thirty or more students. This has been quite upsetting.
My dream was to work with elementary students, focusing on #STEM subjects and teaching technology-related topics like understanding tech, its role in the world, and the basics of programming. Now, I find myself uncertain about what path to take.
Working with kids, especially those in elementary school, is my biggest passion, even more than tech or music. It’s something that would truly fulfill me. Since I can’t have kids myself, guiding and teaching young learners is the next best thing. It’s a career I’m committed to and want to excel in.
Being advised not to pursue a teaching certification and to focus solely on computer science has been quite discouraging. I’ve been told to study elementary education as a secondary focus and combine it with my computer science studies. This might involve developing educational systems for kids, but it would likely mean limited direct interaction, possibly just during product testing, which isn’t enough for me.
So, I have a few questions:
1. Are there any educators with #Blindness or #LowVision challenges working with elementary students? If so, in what capacity do you work with them?
2. How has your disability affected your effectiveness in the field?
3. What challenges did you face in getting certified and qualified, and how did you overcome them?
4. What obstacles have you encountered in the classroom and with colleagues, and how have you addressed them?
If these questions don’t apply, what advice can you offer me in pursuing my goal of working with children? While tech is a focus, I’m open to being flexible, as long as it’s an area I’m confident in.
Finally, if teaching isn’t possible for me, what other career paths would you suggest that align with my goals?
I’d really appreciate any support
and engagement in this discussion.
Boosts welcomed and appreciated.
