These are the sounds Remy the dog makes when he's playing with his favourite squeaky elephant. Apropos of nothing, I seem to be getting less recording done here lately.
Hahaha. Ridiculous bloody dog. I can't work out whether he loves the toy desperately, whether he loves chewing it but is bothered by the squeaking noise or... what.
@jcsteh He goes to find that toy a couple of times each evening, so I suppose he likes it. This doesn't happen every time he has it though. NO idea what the variable is yet. Haven't managed to dig up much data on squeaky elephants.
Ich werde immer wieder gefragt, was so die häufigsten digitalen Barrieren sind. Und weil da jetzt so viele Gutachten vorliegen, konnte ich die einfach mal zählen: barrieren-gutachten.de/blog/to…
In circa der Hälfte der manuell getesteten Bundes-Seiten ist die Bedienung mit Tastatur nicht möglich, noch öfter reicht der Kontrast nicht aus. Und in 77% der Fälle haben Entwickler*innen qualitativ schlechten Code produziert und Komponenten nicht wie vorgesehen entwickelt.
After a few hours of mixing, editing, rendering and writing subtitles, I've finally published the last of my talks from DebConf25 (@debian)
"The Security of Debian - An introduction to advanced users - DebConf25 " is a good starting point for those curious about how distributions handle security vulnerabilities and how that's organized outside of the distros.
How Debian handles security vulnerabilities (CVEs) for its packages.Learn how security vulnerabilities are tracked and fixed, together with some tips on how ...
If you wanted to monitor a website but specify a different IP address than the one in DNS and have it only affect that one test, how would you do that with your monitoring tool? It should use the correct hostname for SNI and the HTTP Host header. Can you?
I can do that easily with my stack, but I can't picture doing this with Nagios and other common tools. Not to my recollection anyway
@sun np was just wondering out loud. I only remember with Nagios every single minor test modification requiring you essentially define a new version of a test/check with your custom parameters and it sucked balls

A mild-looking barber slices into his morning loaf of bread to find a human nose embedded within. You might imagine this image opening the next David Lynch movie, but it actually sets up a more lighthearted, much older, and much more Russian story:
I’m starting an Amazon store that sells a single product called “Nothing, like literally nothing” for 25¢ so Prime people can qualify for overnight shipping.
"Stardust is the name of a small startup with enormous ambitions. The company, which is based in Israel and registered in Delaware, proposes to do nothing less than dim the sun"
So dimming the Sun seems like an easier and more realistic goal than ending capitalism? Or even just regulating the energy sector?
Read somewhere that Americans wear clothing items on average 7 times before tossing them (no idea how accurate) but if I don't wear any given clothing regularly for a minimum of a decade I feel like I'm the world's most wasteful person. Honestly did not realize I was that far off norm? Anyone else?
let me know how the test is these days, mine was a bugged Flash app that crashed and that's why I didn't get my cert. couldn't convince Cisco to give me it when I worked there either lol
@decryption lol I was reading the M.2 specification a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out that nut is doing triple duty - not only does it hold the card in place at the correct mechanical position in the socket, but it also provides an extra electr…
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.
Vomit sound, do not listen to the attached file if you are affected by such sounds

Anyone know where this file originally comes from? I've heard it used in YouTube videos from years ago. It's starting to get used again and I really like the sound.
NV Access is pleased to announce that version 2025.3.2 of NVDA, the free screen reader for Microsoft Windows, is now available for download. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version.
@Bruce @mcourcel FIrstly, yes, if you are using alpha builds of NVDA, the latest alpha has the patch. Re the exact nature of the patch, I must admit I haven't investigated it, but we often see that when people start looking at one particular bug (security related or not), and then testing the implemented fix, it often does uncover other, related issues which also need addressing
@carrottop1023 The automatic update dialog already contains the add-on's title. Can you confirm what the title bar said for this update and the add-on please?
2 June 2021 The Western face of the US Capitol, perhaps the most "classic" and iconic view of the building. Note the temporary fencing and scaffolding, lingering remnants of the January 6th 2021 attack by insurrectionists. Rodenstock 90mm/5.
Captured with the Phase One IQ4-150 digital back, Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR-Digaron lens (@ f/6.3) and about 10mm of vertical shift to maintain geometry.
Almost five years ago, a group of insurrectionist losers sacked this building in an attempt to overthrow the US Government and prevent the transfer of power to a newly elected president. They got frighteningly close to succeeding.
This photo was made about six months later; some of the physical damage from the attack remains visible here.
I post this mostly as a periodic reminder to myself that it wasn't that long ago that the rule of law and the constitution prevailed. I hope it will again in my lifetime.
@x0 It does a lot more than winamp for input. I have a portable copy that works like my old portable winamp did. Switched to foobar years ago, totally worth it.
@FreakyFwoof I know there used to be a component to bridge winamp input plug-ins to foobar as well. There are a few chiptune formats that I still need winamp to play because the foobar components for such don't emulate as good.
It's kind of disappointing to see another blind person posting straight-up Islamophobia (this was over on my fb feed). Do we not understand, as members of a minority group ourselves, that the public tends to hold misconceptions and make sweeping generalities towards groups that they do not understand?
I have here an 18.27 megabyet executable which, when working properly, produces exactly one line of console output. Oh boy, the joys of Python and Nuitka.
@fastfinge Does it need to be an executable if it's a tool just for your own use? I use quite a few of my own Python tools without dealing with the thorny issues of packaging them up as .exes.
I often package them up if they need to run on a different machine from the machine I developed them on. Saves dealing with setting up a virtual environment and so on.
@fastfinge Perhaps. Tools like uvx are somewhat making that a problem of the past, particularly as they can transparently manage Python installations. If you're gonna download an executable to another machine, it may as well be the smaller one that does more and gives you access to all your projects.
You're assuming I want to install uv and modify the path and keep uv up to date and have multiple python versions on the machine. And in one particular case, that the machine has an internet connection at all.
@fastfinge I don't think I'm assuming most of those things.
I'm assuming that you're happy copying one or more executables to another machine, each of which comes with its own Python environment even if they use the same underlying Python version. I'm assuming that because you said you were.
At which point, for many use cases it seems objectively better to use a tool that is also a single executable, doesn't require you to manage Python at all or even install it, and can update both itself and your tools. If you don't want to change the PATH and wouldn't have done so for your other executables, don't. That's up to you.
I was assuming internet access, true. Mostly because I think the tool that started this thread requires it.
Anyway, figured I'd mention it for people who weren't aware. Python has a reputation for being historically annoying to manage which isn't as much the case anymore. It doesn't even need to be installed in the first place to use uv and uvx. @jaybird110127
Yup, I love uv. It just feels like huge overkill for anything but the machine I actually develop on. And I think uv needs you to modify the path, in order to do everything it does, but I could be wrong. Also, don't modern Python packagers do some tree-shaking so they're not including the complete Python environment in every single build? I know that NVDA's environment, to my sorrow, doesn't include multiprocess, for example, because NVDA doesn't use it. So if I want it in my addons, I have to include it myself, even though it's a Python builtin.
I have a private code phrase known to no one but myself that I will use to verify it's really me if I ever meet my past or future self via time travel.
I work in telephone sales for an insurance company. The next two customers I had to call were Mrs Cockburn and then Mr Woodhead. In a moment of confusion I asked to speak to Mr Cockhead, immediately hung up and marked them both as Do No Contact in the CRM.
I forgive the meet and assist lady for Delta Airlines at the Atlanta airport for almost making me miss my flight to see my sister and her kids for thanksgiving because she actively refused to walk me from the gate to the place where the other meet-and-assists were, until I sat in a wheelchair.
I don't know what went wrong in her life to make her such a miserable human being but I hope whatever it is gets better for her.
