Včera jsem byl na první dávce očkování proti žloutence A a B. Odpoledne pak vyšel na iDnes článek o současném šíření žloutenky a v diskusi jsem našel tenhle poklad.

Na žloutenku se moc neumírá, ale rozhodně nemá smysl ji tímhle způsobem zlehčovat, protože je schopná člověka vyřadit z pracovního procesu na měsíce. Navíc to je něco, co se v rámci domácnosti snadno rozšíří.

Spor lékařů o vakcínu zdarma. Žloutenka A zabila od loňského podzimu už 28 lidí

Česko čelí patrně největší epidemii žloutenky typu A za posledních 46 let. Začala před rokem a půl v Ostravě a její šíření se nedaří zastavit.

@FreakyFwoof that would be fine with me. I have no need for Apple Intelligence or any of that stupid crap. I don’t know how badly the glass itself is damaged by being lifted up. Replacing the battery would at least fix the battery health problem. If the glasses is damaged, that’s a totally different story. From what I hear, they charge out the nose to replace your screen.

Been working on getting Slidgnal, a #XMPP to #Signal gateway built on #Slidge back up and running with a mix of Go and Python; after a recent spree of work, we have fairly good support for 1-on-1 chats with reactions, attachments, etc. all working. Couldn't have been done without the great work by @nicoco and tulir (tulir.fi on bsky).

If you're running your own #XMPP server and are looking to bridge your #Signal contacts over, give it a go, repo is here codeberg.org/slidge/slidgnal and Docker/Podman or PyPi-based installs are well-supported! Group support is up next!

What's up with my #reading habits lately?

Me: "I'd really like some #fantasy or #scifi comfort food. Nothing complex; maybe something cozy or slice of life, or a power fantasy where the good guys always win. I'd love that."

Me, a few hours later: "Hey! This #book was just a predictable power fantasy where the good guys always win! It was overly simple slice of life, and the conflict was low stakes. I hated that!"

It's gotten to the point where I haven't rated the last few #books I've read, because "2 stars: was exactly what I asked for!" just seems like an unfair review.

Anyway, authors: please figure out what I actually want to read and write that, then advertise it to me as what I think I want to read. Because book marketing isn't hard enough for you, right? Thanks! #bookstodon

Very sad. My VarioUltra 40 kicked the bucket today. It was my last hope for Bluetooth Braille on Linux. If anyone knows what kinds of batteries are used inside of these units and whether one powers off with the battery removed, let me know. For now, it keeps going up to 5 cells charge, trying to exit stage 1 bootloader into stage 2, freezing, draining itself, re-doing charge to 5 cells, freezing, ETC. Gosh. How horrible, and what cheap batteries it had. Although, about a year of storage might give most lithium-polymer ones the same result, I tried to give it at least a yearly recharge cycle but alas now that hope is dashed.

@andrew oooh yeah, I don't know. The new VisioBraille might still service them yes. Mine did get the newer mainboard right before the Baum shuttering, and I used it for about a year reliably with it, when in 2021 I got the newer Bi 40X. It was such a sad departure: The Vario is still way lighter, thinner, and the only thing to ding it for maybe are how cheap those laptop-style keys do feel compared to a quality display. I missed the PDF / Excel viewers, and the NaviStick - as much as Vario did run on Windows CE which died right about the same time it released in 2015, it was able to do surprisingly a lot with it.

ok ifixit has one disaasembled. From what I can see, it uses a lithium ion 14500 battery with what looks like a JST-XH connector. The batteries I find with this connector seem tp have the positive and negative wires back to front. So I could point you in the direction of a replacement, but you would need someone with electronics knowledge to verify the polarity, and possibly de-pin and swap the wires on the replacement connector. Do you know someone confident to do this?

@latelesley oooh really wait they did a teardown whaat? No way. That's a huge help knowing the battery type though. I think I could take it to a local battery / computer repair place and ask them to swap it in, if I have the parts and instructions they can do the labor and I pay them the $60-100 for a better job than I could do. Huge thanks for that info and help :D

@latelesley oooh, super-Vario. Interesting. I wonder how this model differed from Vario-Ultra, perhaps a bit earlier I'd think (Ultra was 2015 or so.) Still worth a shot to see if there's any compatibility though. If I figure out how to find the right screwdriver that takes it apart I might be able to get pictures of the battery inside so at least someone with technical eyes can verify if that battery is the same one or different. So that may be forthcoming as a weekend project xD

I was talking to a friend who is in his late 30s. He said that he'd only been to five memorial services in his life. I've been to dozens, partly because I'm on the pastoral team.

When you're younger, most people you know are getting married and having children, so you attend a lot of weddings, baby showers, etc.

When you're older, many people you know start dying. So you're attending more memorial services.

I think younger people should try to attend more memorial services. It helps us to put things in perspective and prioritize important things.

"It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart."
Ecclesiastes 7:2

I finally managed to narrow down the problem I'm having with Delta Chat to likely being that some part of the Chatmail stack doesn't like inbound messages from my provider, since I was able to communicate okay with a remote user on a third-party server, but E2EE setup with every single remote party on a Chatmail relay fails with a bounce message about No DKIM signature.

Meanwhile, trying to contact the same users on an account I set up on a Chatmail relay works fine.

I've currently got a ticket open with my email provider to look into this and see if we can shake any more info out before creating an issue with Chatmail and/or @delta

This is unfortunately a drawback of the fediverse. Any protocol where multiple servers can become part of the network and there's no central authority over the authenticity of a profile will have this issue.

There are ways to somewhat mitigate this issue, however, for example by linking to a site on your profile that has a link back to your profile with the rel="me" tag added. It is not perfect, but I imagine buying domains would be painful for someone who wants to impersonate lots of accounts.

Here's a fun idea for a hack-utility that could work: To get the Brailliant BI 40X series to play regular Mp3 audio, just convert a folder of audio files in with a book wrapper, so that the player thinks it has chapters but those are just pointers to the track data for each audio file. Would be neat if something like that worked, since clearly the playback capability exists, it's just that you're not allowed to use it for standard audio playback.

I tested OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Atlas browser for Mac with VoiceOver. The built-in AI is impressive—especially Gmail prompts like “Summarize unread emails.” But major accessibility issues remain, from unlabeled buttons to missing feedback when typing.
I believe in Atlas’s potential and want to help make it better.
