My car is turning 25 years old next year, still has a tape deck and is missing pretty much all features that you might expect from cars these days - but thanks to @bagder it now has curl on board regardless 😁

In the curl project we produce and ship a rock solid and reliable library for the masses, we must never exit, leak memory or do anything in an ungraceful manner.
Very interesting. I'm wondering whether the use of sanitizers (AddressSanitizer, ThreadSanitizer, maybe UBSanitizer) could replace some of these wrappers. They have a small overhead/footprint and are part of gcc and clang.
This is one of those when you read it you have a facepalm reaction and go about implementing in your long-running test runs... Should of course include an option to force run some tests via commit message tags or similar.
@excds often when one of these tests show a problem I rerun the tests in their entirety locally when working on the fix. The "fixed seed" per month then makes sure that the next CI round runs the same random set and thus verifies the fix properly when merged.
The fixed seed certainly verifies failures found in a test run, but if you add a new test to additionally verify something, it's probably nice to be able to run that newly added test.
Hmm, what about always running tests that were written the last month? Then you would get the benefit of always running the newest tests together with the random ones for different code paths.
Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Updated code for -t flage. Does the same thing just better implemented.
Reminder that "sometime not long after December 15th", the botsin.space server, a home to many of your favorite creative bots, will be entering a read-only mode, before its planned shutdown.
@joshbressers @wdormann joking aside, I don't like the prospect of deciding an issue should be severity LOW but then we set the CVSS score and it says something else. It will be hard to communicate without causing confusion and sadness.
@dazo @joshbressers @wdormann I'm pretty sure we need to provide a CVSS 3.1 string and it checks the input so going outside the box is probably not even possible

When is the last time you heard of a black man killing a white, homeless man on the subway, and then getting invited to a festive event by the Vice President?
Oh… that never happened?
That is strange, because a white man killing a black, homeless man on the subway just got invited to a festive event… by the incoming Vice President.

Alright folks, if you miss SoftVoice, here's an updated add-on compatible with NVDA 2024.4: eurpod.com/softvoice2024.nvda-… - install this over your copy. What it fixed mainly was converting this to use Python3, and I had to fix some pretty nasty recursion issues caused by the set_variant property calling itself. To resolve, I had to make private and public properties for these variables and assign these more carefully there. Indexing is now handled by storing all indexes in speech_list along with the text. Also, When sv_EVENT_SPEECH_DONE (1001) occurs, we retrieve self.last_spoken_indexes and call synthIndexReached for each index. This should add proper indexing support, though testing is appreciated. Well darn. Say-all fully is still broken, so this is just basic indexing support.
@x0 wondered the same! I'm not sure, would make the tracking of last index if it did. I'm not sure if any good docs exist on that specific DLL but would be interesting to dig up.
Ah OK. So you do know what the functionality of indices is, that they're to be returned during the stream if possible to help it keep track of where in the stream it is?
@x0 yeah, there's definitely good demos of it for both the DECTalk and Eloquence synths I've read through. Those also support using the shift key to pause speech since the TTS has that functionality. Wish we could have that for both Bestpeech and softvoice but that may just be a pipedream
Yeah, if the synthesizer literally doesn't implement the functionality, usually done via callbacks or something like it, then you're basically out of luck
@x0 I'm used to working with stuff like Brailab before which never had it, so it's for sure a good reminder that if I do get my hands on anything related to how that internal DLL works to find out whether Softvoice has this or not. I may debug it later and try to look at the typedefs I can export to see what it returns and go from there, maybe if I can.
@jcsteh @x0 looks like softvoice was a bit more similar to Bestspeech in that you post the messages to a hidden window thread and trigger playback through it, unfortunately. Not sure if the DLL has any direct speaking functionality without it but it's how the previous version was made so I stuck with it.
Huh, it looks like every time I open speech settings, the pitch decreases to zero as a default, but it otherwise sounded fine before doing that. Solution is to change the variant, but then it takes the default pitch value of zero into account again the next time you open settings.
Also say-all is not working. STR: 1. Open the user guide. 2. Navigate to the Introduction heading and begin reading. 3. It stops after "Welcome to NVDA!"
@twynn yeah that's an odd one. I wonder if SoftVoice sends things in larger chunks. Basically, from what I can gather anyway, NVDA sends text to the synth in chunks and expects synthIndexReached notifications within or at the end of these chunks. If the synth only sends indexes at the very end of the entire text or not at all until the chunk completes, NVDA won't have intermediate landmarks to continue from, causing say-all to sstop like this. It's fascinating to me that this works in BestSpeech probably because for us we are having the ability to get these index notifications back after chunks there.
Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the linux-game-manager project updated install games function. Inallations are now handled in files in the .install directory. This may be horribly broken, for stability, use the master branch.

Today, we celebrate the 165th birthday of Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhof, the visionary creator of Esperanto. His goal was to establish a language that would facilitate communication among people from different countries and cultures, thereby contributing to peace and cooperation among nations.
Esperanto is now the most successful planned language in the world, with millions of speakers in over 120 countries. It is utilized on the internet, in social media, and even in some universities and institutions. But Esperanto is not just a language—it's a movement. It represents a community of individuals united by the common goal of promoting peace, unity, cultural richness, understanding, and cooperation among all people. Esperanto is a language of hope, unity, and love.
Zamenhof's vision is more relevant than ever. In an era of increasing globalization and interconnectedness, Esperanto provides an opportunity for people from diverse cultures and countries to communicate and collaborate without language barriers.
Moreover, Esperanto serves as a valuable tool for inclusion and accessibility, thanks to its simplicity and regular structure. It not only eases communication between speakers of different native languages but also supports neurodiverse individuals who may struggle with learning natural languages or navigating irregular writing systems like English orthography. Thus, Esperanto can promote accessibility in education.
What makes Esperanto so special? Its simple, logical grammar and vocabulary derived from the most common European roots make it incredibly easy to learn. Its phonetic spelling features one sound per letter and one letter for every sound, unlike English or French. Beyond its practical benefits, Esperanto embodies the noble ideals of mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and the brotherhood of all people.
In our increasingly interconnected world, Esperanto has found new life on the internet, where online communities and resources allow learners to connect across borders. It is truly a language of the digital age, used for everything from casual conversation to academic discourse.
As we celebrate Zamenhof's 165th birthday, let us embrace his timeless vision of a more harmonious world, where Esperanto serves as a bridge between cultures. By learning this beautiful language, we honor the legacy of its creator and take a meaningful step toward a more peaceful and productive coexistence for all.
Happy birthday, Zamenhof! Your dream lives on. ✨ Thank you for your inexhaustible legacy and the inspiration you have given us all. Let us unite humanity and reach for the stars! ✨

Just finished reading Conclave by Robert Harris, more or less without stopping. The characters are well written, and the narrative is compelling without being obvious about it. Somewhat unexpectedly, the ending made me chortle to myself. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conclave…(novel
