In world political news that went under the radar over the past few days: the government of #Nepal has been overthrown by youths following a governmental move to block social media, and accusations of corruption.

A new PM was elected over #Discord, and has been accepted by the military. They aim to hold elections within 6 months.

I repeat:

THEY ELECTED A NEW GOVERNMENT

OVER

DISCORD.

And no second ammendment was needed to rise up against against tyranny.

Things Charlie Kirk, dead Nazi, publicly stood for:

1. A few gun violence deaths
2. Making children watch public executions
3. Delighting in the deaths of one's political opponents

Things MAGA wants us to feel bad about:

1. Charlie Kirk died from gun violence
2. His children watched his public execution
3. We are delighted that he is dead

@adam You might be interested to know that I completely replaced the Bell Gigahub modem without any issues this morning. The process is perfectly accessible, other than needing someone to read the ONT ID off the back of your bell modem. You need a router or switch with an SFP+ port. You also need a fan or other active cooling for the fiber module; they run at about 90 degrees. Then I purchased my x-onu-sfpp from fibermall. Once you have these things, you can use these instructions: pon.wiki/guides/masquerade-as-the-bce-inc-giga-hub-with-the-was-110/#purchase-a-was-110-or-x-onu-sfpp

Cool stuff. Glad you're off that garbage modem. You should notice a huge increase in connection stability. I have two WAS-110 SFP+ modules, so when i upgrade the 8311 firmware, I just pull the fiber, plug it into the second one, connection comes right back up, then I do the firmware upgrade, and then swap the fiber back when its done.

Seems to have slowed down, star its GitHub repo for updates.

Although I'm not sure if that is what's running on your device. But its the custom firmware I'm running.

Oh yeah, they really do get warm. The chassis is the heatsink, essentially. Some have come up with air cooling solutions, but mine have run without fail for years without active cooling.
As for benefits over PPPoE passthrough, you'll probably notice a bit of a reduction in latency, perhaps 1 MS better. Minor, but a perk.
Certainly the fact that you're in control of everything up to the fiber connector, you can choose when firmware updaes happen, and not Bell. No more modem reboots over night, and even randomly during the day. Oh yeah, and no more incidents of pushing bad configs to a million modems causing them to be down for 8 plus hours, LOL.
I was enjoying the net all through that incident.
Also, may be a good reason to revisit some VLAN snooping to see if IPv6 can be found anywhere.

No worries. Glad to do my best attempt at describing the process. To be specific, I am describing attaching and detaching an SC-APC connector on the end of an ISP-provided singlemode 125NM fiber line.
So you will note that the connector is square, and if you feel along the sides of the square that naturally face your fingers as you grip the connector, you will feel narrow slits, that should feel like they're for finger usage to loosen or unlock the connector. And this is what happens. You squeeze these tabs inward, and the lock is released. You then pull very gently, very slowly, and very straight with your entire hand, and the connector should slide off the SFP+ module, or out of the modem. The modem will likely be a bit trickier in handling, and may require some effort to unplug the connector. Do your best in gaging if you think you're overdoing something, but at the same time, the modem connector may be stubborn. Most of all, always pull or push connectors straight.
Also, never, under any circumstances that you can control, touch or point the end of the fiber connector at your face or any one elses. Touch should be absolutely limited to necessities, or purposefully destroying a connector. To plug the connector back in, ensure it is aligned with the square receptical, and push gently. If aligned, it will slide a short distance, then lock into place with a bump and a slight click.
Hope this helps some.

No worries! If I wanted it to be private, I’d have sent a dm. What Adam says aligns with my experience. The plug on the modem was extremely stubborn; I had to tug on it harder than I like pulling on any connector, and I had nearly resigned myself to giving up before it finally came out. Even then I was scared I had broken it. As for touching the connector, I was cowardly and had the rubber cover in my hand and ready to go. I put the cover on until I was ready to plug it into the new module.

I thought I was going to just get up and make a bunch of new AT-SPI releases, but no such luck. I check my email and find that someone tested my latest fix and found that, for Bengali, Orca isn't reading all characters as they are typed. It isn't clear to me if this is a regression or just a bug that has been there all along and that I didn't fix, and I was going to backport my fix to the old stable branches, so now I have to figure out the answer to that before I can proceed.

Proton Mail Falls Under U.S. Jurisdiction

If you read their Terms of Service, at first glance, they reference the laws of Switzerland. However, because they now have offices in the United States — along with registrations, trademarks, copyrights, and patents in the U.S. — they also cite U.S. laws. The only two countries you'll see mentioned are Switzerland and the United States — nothing else.

Their CEO has, on several occasions, also praised Donald Trump. Additionally, Proton left the Fediverse because they couldn’t silence users there as they have on platforms like Facebook or Reddit. The fact that they’re now trying to silence journalists doesn’t surprise me.

There are better alternatives to Proton Mail.

#serviceToot one of the mirrors at #IzzyOnDroid had a power outage, and is currently in recovery (file system repair) – the USV didn't like to be triggered 3 times in a row 🙈). Good thing there are multiple mirrors, so you shouldn't even notice it – unless you pinned your client to our US mirror…

You can watch the state at our monitor, and thus see when the mirror recovered:

Okay, fine. I caved. I Preordered an iPhone 17 Pro today. I have never been less excited about ordering a phone. I will never stop being bitter that i can't get a small iPhone anymore. I decided on the pro over the 17 because of the slightly larger battery and I figured the fancy camera might be helpful for Aira, Be My Eyes and all the other blindy related stuff I do with the camera. By the time I got in, the delivery date was Sep. 25 so I have a couple weeks to try to get happy about my big ass phone.

The person arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder?

As Joyce Vance says,

"The suspect [is] a cisgender white man raised in a religious, Republican home."

So will Wall Street Journal and New York Times now apologize for promoting the lie about bullet casings left behind by the shooter that were marked with "transgender" symbols, whatever the jumping hell that means?

I doubt it.

Remember that white house executive order against DEIA, “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility”?

They went out of their way to add the A for accessibility. So this is very sad but not surprising.

"Trump administration cuts funding to Oregon disability programs"

#Oregon #Disability #Accessibility #DisabilityJustice #Education

The U.S. Department of Education is ending grants to programs across Oregon that support students with disabilities, citing practices related to diversity, equity and inclusion. The cuts could make it harder for disabled students and their families to access help, especially in some of Oregon’s poorest rural communities.
