The Roland SC-8820 can be powered solely on USB, without the need for wall power, though this results in some USB bus noise with my setup, possibly because I typically have it connected to my laptop in two places at once through the USB connection and headphone jack. I have a few MIDIs that crash the SC-8820, and on USB power, the crashing is actually audible as a change to the buzzing. Note that I've raised the volume of this clip slightly so the change is easier to hear. The buzzing isn't typically this loud in practice.
If you want to power your SC-8820 from USB and connect it's audio output to something on the same box, to do it safely and without that noise, you'd need a DI box to isolate DC/ground from audio, preferably feeding an audio interface with balanced inputs. Of course, eliminating USB will also (mostly) take care of that.
You know what ““““AI”””” feature I’d actually use in Firefox? A locally-powered text-to-speech feature for the reader mode. Read me this web page in a natural voice, using some of the advances in recent models!
Is that possible to do efficiently in the browser, or are those models too big to be effective? Or would it need to lean on the OS APIs?
@metux, let the team know about the discussion of this feature. After my research, perhaps this will reduce the likelihood of malicious actions on the part of X clients and allow them to be identif...
In an academic sense, how bad is this actually? Assuming that X11 is already up and running before anybody can log in (no LD_PRELOAD or ENV fuckery) and "which" and "sh"/"bash" are a root-owned binaries that can't be substituted.
It's obviously dumb, but I'm kind of curious if this is actually exploitable.
Somehow, through some weird observation I cannot understand, I don't think that helping the PR author, or even notifying the PR author about that possibility was ever the intention of this thread.
there are quite a few reactionaries in my comments, some of which have been defederated in their entirety.
for the others:
1. although the system("which ...") use is silly, that isn't the problem here.
2. what do you think will happen when the code in this PR encounters a process named `" && :() { : | : & }; :&`? will it safely handle such a process name? before saying "that's impossible" please read setprocname(3), setproctitle(3), or in the case of Linux, understand that argv[0] is mutable.
3. yes, it is an open PR. it is also reflective of the code quality of many other PRs which have been merged to Xlibre already. how do you think that impacts its security record?
and yes, sometimes i post these things as bait to find out if we are missing alt-right reactionary servers that we need to defederate. it's like vaccines but for social media ❤️
In 1974 I visited the UK for the first time. It was also the first time, that I could (at least very, very rudimentarily) understand the language in a foreign land.
So my parents had „the talk“ with me: Why people may react negatively to me being a German. There was a big war and a very bad man named Hitler. I didn’t understand anything at all.
Will future U.S. children have to go through a similar talk?
How much of the justification for SaaS really boils down to "We have no idea how to administer Linux systems and we can't be bothered to hire anyone who does?"

oh I totally need to attend this because OAuth is totally broken in the account hub process and non-hub path won’t even let you try to do EWS. So I’m very curious how this session will go.
@btaroli We hope this video helped, and we are definitely working to make anything that might be bumpy more seamless. As always, if there's anything that should be working but isn't, please open a bug with the link and instructions in the blog post!
Pleast boost for reach: On the subject of Linux phone accessibility, the developer of AT-SPI wrote: There's a long-standing issue that Joanie filed against at-spi2-core for touch screen support: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2…
Ande I haven't taken the time to figure out how best to handle this. I'm not sure if evdev would do what we need, or we might want to work with the maintainers of mutter, KWin, etc. to create a protocol for intercepting/manipulating gestures. We would also need code that can detect gestures from touch screen presses. NVDA has code that we might be able to use as a model.
All of this is theoretically on my list of things to do. Of course, help would be welcome if anyone else was able to take it on. end quote
For blind people to switch to Linux on phones, we need to use the touch screen. If anyone can help with this, it would allow the blind to take one step closer to being capable of creating our own accessibility, our own environments, in the way that helps us most. See NVDA as a great example of how that goes. #accessibility #blind #foss #linux #phones #pinephone
Orca currently is able to register grabs for, be notified of, and consume keyboard events of interest. It should be able to do the same for touch/gestures.
Here's an interesting bit* of Canadian history and woodworking trivia, brought to you by me being enraged at a screw stripping while I was trying to remove it.
Most people are familiar with two types of screws & drivers: the old fashioned slot screw and the cross-shaped Phillips screw.
What if I told you there was a better way?
In 1908, a Canadian inventor named Peter Lymburger Robertson invented a screw with a square hole for the driver. If you've done any woodworking, you're probably familiar with it. This screw/driver design was very popular, as it is self-centering and the driver rarely slips out of the screw.
So why didn't the Robertson screw catch on in the USA? I blame Henry Ford. He initially was the Robertson screws biggest fan, as it was found to remarkably increase production speed. So Ford tried to get Robertson Inc. to give him an exclusive contract. Robertson wasn't interested. In the 1930s, an American inventor, Henry Phillips, created a screw/driver with a cross-shaped slot. Mr. Ford liked this screw because it worked well with powered screwdrivers. I think he also had sour grapes over Robertson rejecting him. At any rate, Ford's adoption of the Phillips screw/driver made it very popular throughout the USA.
If you've ever tried to build Ikea furniture, you probably know the frustration of cheaply-made Phillips screws. If your screwdriver is not the precise size for the screw, it will slip out of that cross repeatedly or just turn helplessly, unable to engage with the screw. In either case, there's a chance of stripping the screwhead. This can also happen when overtightening.
My husband insists on replacing stock Ikea (and other manufacturer's) screws with Robertsons, especially on anything that requires good structural strength or is made from a harder material. Worst case is that the screwdriver bit gets stuck in the screw, but this is easily remedied. With a Phillips screw, if it strips, you're hooped. You have a loose screw or an embedded screw that's never coming out.
tl;dr: I recommend replacing Phillips screws/drivers with Robertson ones, especially if you find your Phillips screws stripping regularly.
Phillips is a PITA for sure. I tend to use Torx where possible; Robertson seems to have similar qualities. I'm not sure about the IP situation there.
These days, a drill clutch in the chuck allows the operator to set a rough maximum torque; with non-slipping fasteners and powerful or single-speed drills, this prevents accidents. In its absence the Phillips cam-out acts analogously. So, I wonder if the drill clutch was only introduced after the episode you described.
I'm a European immigrant. I discovered Robertson screws here and it's one the better things Canada do... unlike insisting on using limbs as measurements.
Before the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started operating in May 2025, substantial food entered Gaza, but Hamas seized much of it, diverted large quantities to fighters, and sold the remainder on the black market at prices ordinary Gazans could not afford. None of this appeared in wire service imagery. honestreporting.com/how-hamas-… Gaza-based photographers reinforced a global famine narrative, producing images that aligned with a political storyline rather than a complete reality.

Today is audio ducking day here at interfree! If you use the 64-bit #NVDA, there are a couple small releases for you: * eloquence: audio ducking now works thanks to akj: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v5* unspoken-ng: if you use this addon, you also need to update, or audio ducking will remain broken, because someone (glares at himself) didn't quite understand NVWavePlayer: github.com/fastfinge/unspoken-ng/releases/tag/v1.0.3
@BlindHedgehogStew Is it running as admin? IE can it read the secure logon screen, UAC screens, etc? In my experience, whenever I see that error, it's because NVDA doesn't have the permissions it needs. Addons can't generate that error as far as I'm aware.

@BlindHedgehogStew Try that, yeah. Otherwise...I'm really not sure. Nobody else has reported this issue to me, and a couple folks have confirmed that audio ducking is now working correctly for them. Best I can say is file an issue on the repo and see if anyone else chimes in.
@BlindHedgehogStew Right, but they don't get any money from you for doing that. And it's not really planned as much as it is forced. Python itself is going to discontinue 32-bit support in the next couple of years. So NVDA doesn't have much choice. They couldn't keep 32-bit even if they wanted to.
@BlindHedgehogStew Yup! I got an early start with eloquence because I knew it was going to be difficult and annoying work, with no help from NVDA themselves.
Short of reading material on a flight this afternoon I noticed the RNIB's Access IT magazine pop into my inbox just before takeoff. It's never exactly been on the front foot, but to arrive *today* with a whole section about deals *from the RNIB themselves* which expire on *December 5th* ... takes the editorial standard to a new low. Still, it killed 15 minutes at 37,000ft. Bertie has had 2 impressive bowel movements whilst out today. Shame the magazine wasn't in braille, could have used it to clean him up!
They mostly all have internal speakers, some are far better than others though. I have a Lenovo and the speaker is pretty crappy. I also have a Dell, and the speaker. on that one is better. Are you thinking in terms of TTS?
Mini is such a relative term these days. A few years ago I got a Lenovo P360 tiny. At the time that was classified as a Mini PC. It's six or seven inches wide and about the same deep. The Dell I have is about the same size. That said, I think some Beelink models include speakers, no idea how good they are though.
No speakers in mine. I got my GmkTek K7 a year ago and am very proud of its capabilities. I especially like the fact I can make hardware upgrades as needed. Check Amazon, as they have deals now for Christmas.
@menelion I agree. And NextCloud should improve its accessibility in their apps (web, desktop and mobile) - I'm blind, screen reader use, would like to use my nextcloud even for note taking and productivity, but all those features aren't usable by blind folks
to be honest, Nextcloud are among the best in the open-source community, at least by far not the worst. Most of the open-source devs like to preach about European sovereignty, "great is free", "quit GAFAM" and all these sweet but practically useless things if you are blind, have reduced mobility or have other accessibility needs, but don't give a flying F about #Accessibility. It's better in the mobile land for some reason, but on desktop…You need it, you fix it, — that's what I read lots and lots of times. At least web version of Nextcloud is not bad. As for desktop… it's QT, so, I'm afraid, it will never be usable enough. I have plans to overcome it, and you'll know about it among the first.
@menelion I always say it, we folks with disability -especially blind and movement impairments- are the most vulnerable in technology. This "you need it, you fix it" falls down by itself it's like the crocodile chasing its tail. If many programming books (and then code repositories) don't respect accessibility themselves, how could a blind person "fix accessibility issues" about open source software on their own? That slogan "you fix it, you need it" is just the longer version of "RTFM" and is one of the reason why in almost 20 years, even more, many open source suites are still quite a niche.
@elettrona Even if you are a developer (I am, for example). So yes, I'm probably the best person to fix it: I'm blind myself, I'm a developer, I'm an #Accessibility specialist. Great! But I cannot fix all and all the stuff, from operating systems to messengers to office suites to editors to... you name it. Because it's my work, and I need money for some reason to pay my bills… That's why I'm so angry about this whole "Move to Linux/quit GAFAM right now!!" movement.
@menelion You know, I'm back and forth from this world (free and open source software) for about 24 years. And it's always the same old game. The usual ethnic war one against the others, like kids arguing for some marbles. The result? Closed source platforms are seducing the masses even more, with the risks of authoritarian regimes to take advantage of them. Yes, we have the fediverse, there are many alternatives now than 25 years ago. But when people keeps behaving like this, it's very very slow to find something working in short term. For now we can use both technologies depending on our needs. Have you tried onlyoffice? Did you see what a mess it is?
@menelion @elettrona Yep, I can confirm also. LibreOffice is coming along, and I can now grade student work with LibreOffice calc now but I'm afraid to rely on much else besides Emacs with emacspeak, Firefox, Pidgin, the old guard.
Husband loves Spotify Wrapped and hates Joni Mitchell. All year i've been playing non-stop Joni on his laptop every Sunday while he's at football. Now we wait.
When I tried to tell my mom about me wanting to change my name, she made an absolutely massive deal about how people would think it's unprofessional or that I was trying to hide my identity (whatever that means, never mind my legal name is on invoices and anything relating to finances). She hammered it into my head that I wouldn't get a job if I put anything other than my legal name on my resume. But would you look at that, first try putting my authentic self out there and I work at a company with some of the most supportive and awesome coworkers ever, and I love my job. So TLDR, my mom was wrong as is pretty much the norm for any queer issue, and supportive work environments are terrific things.
Wait that post I saw a couple days ago about the US State Department banning the Calibri font and ordering Times New Roman because Calibri is "too woke" wasn't a joke??
Můj první toot na GrapheneOS. Začínám se pomalu zabydlovat. Co používáte za aplikace na soukromém (bez googlu) účtu? Hlavně náhradu těch googlových, jako jsou Kontakty Kalendář E-mail
Jaké další aplikace si do toho hlavního účtu má smysl přidat? Na starém mobilu jich mám tunu, spíš občasně poużívaných 🙇
@Milu FairEmail umí také více účtu, ale Thunderbird není špatný. Já porad nevím co je špatného na Owner profilu mít Google play, které běží v sandboxu. Nemá v systému žádná práva, je to jak běžná aplikace.Sice teď mám také víc profilů, ale stále si říkám, jestli mi za to stojí. Newpipe mně momentálně nepřehraje žádné video.
@Milu Já jen ještě dodám. Třeba originální Grapheneos kamera je nic moc. Ja mám klasickou pixel kameru a vypnutý u ní internet. Zase když už má člověk trochu dražší telefon, chci ho pořádně využít. Jinak k tomu Google play, samozřejmě nechci nikoho nutit co a jak má používat, jen si říkám, jestli se někdy zbytečně netrápíme 😀 Na počasí mam BreezyWeatheer f-droid.org/packages/org.breez… A ještě přidám Syncthing - fork f-droid.org/packages/com.githu…
@GuloGulo Jo, chápu 🙂 Každý to má nastavené jinak. Když to korporát dovolí a vyhovuje ti to, tak proč ne. Apple má výhodu v tom, že spoustu věcí řeší za tebe a nemusíš se v tom tolik vrtat, ale na druhou stranu jsi tam víc zamčený. Hlavní je, aby tě ten telefon neotravoval víc, než musí.@Milu @nacelnik01
@schmaker Já mám taky Aurora store na apky co na fdroid nejsou a potřebuji je.
Jinak mě asi ta jejich kamera stačí. Nejsem zas nějaký fotící maniak a pro mě je to dobrá kvalita. Skromná jsem 🥸 Na počasí mě asi nejvíce vyhovuje Cirrus. Vyzkoušela jsem jich hodně a toto rozložení mi vyhovuje. Jinak asi máte Zdeňku pravdu, že u GOS ty apky z play nebudou problém ale za mě osobně se mi líp dýchá čím míň jich tam mám. Jen pocit.
A ted mi při mé hlouposti došlo, že už máte Milane ten pixel s GOSem? Já myslela až po novém roce? 🙃 @archos @nacelnik01
@Milu Přesně tak — u GrapheneOS je to hodně i o pocitu. Technicky ty aplikace z Play problém nejsou, ale když jich má člověk míň, prostě se mu líp dýchá. Hlavně má každý jiné potřeby — já se v práci bez WhatsAppu neobejdu a pravidelně potřebuju navigaci. Pro mě je důležité, aby kalendář, kontakty, e-mail a další věci neměl Google, stejně tak vyhledávání. To, jestli mám Google Play v sandboxu, je mi v zásadě jedno.@schmaker @nacelnik01
@GuloGulo Jj dva telefony jsou opruz. Mě vadí u iPhonu hlavně cena, ale když ho dostaneš, tak super. Jinak navigaci teď TomTom @Milu @schmaker @nacelnik01
It's totally OK to have strong opinions either way, but I feel like in certain circles it's becoming a purity test.
Do you hold the RIGHT opinions about AI, how it's trained and how it's used?
I think pointing out the dangers is important. Pointing out the risks is important, but recognizing that the situation is nuanced and complex is important as well.
I think the appeal of the purity approach is that completely refraining from using generative AI is something concrete that some of us can do right now. So it's easy to feel that it's incumbent on us to do so.
@matt To make an analogy to something much less divisive: it was clear to me that at some point, we would want to move away from subversion to some other version control system. It was also clear that the market would eventually settle down, and whatever won would have a clear upgrade path from subversion -- but that couldn't be said for all of the intermediate contenders.
So it was prudent to avoid moving until the winner clearly emerged.
I am letting people play with LLMs in controlled circumstances, wtihout ever putting their results into production and clearly marking what they do and how they got there. Someday it may crash and burn; someday it might produce something worthwhile and sustainable. But until then, the responsible thing to do is not to do it.
@dashdsrdash The one that I still get hung up on is: Did using an LLM to generate this code meaningfully plagiarize other people's work or use their work without their consent? And I'm not sure of the answer.
Gosh, no. "The web interface looks the way I want" is not "the web interface is correct", and the entire history of software development as a craft slowly working its way into an engineering discipline is the story of why those things are different.
There are things which have provably correct answers, and beyond the trivial ones, they tend to be things like "use this well-tested theorem prover".
The problem with repeatedly feeding LLM output to a theorem prover and checking for correctness is the same problem as with bogosort, the canonically worst of all possible sorting algorithms.
In case anyone is standing next to the computer help desk... With the ever increasing number of IOT devices in my house, I'm looking to migrate to a more secure networking strategy with 0 trust approach using segmented VLANs. Does anyone have experience with Firewalla vs. equivalent Ubiquiti gear? I'm currently running an Eero POE gateway with an Eero 7 Max mesh. The network functions well enough, however I'm finding the lack of control over basic routing functionality on the Eero maddening.
I've done this with Ubiquiti stuff. By default, VLANs are not completely isolated, I.E. they can still talk to each other, and editing firewall policies is a bit odd from an accessibility standpoint using the web app, where you get all the controls. That being said, I did eventually figure out how to fully isolate each VLAN.
In this case, I was using a Gateway Light with a remote, multi-site controller, but I think it would be the same with a Dream Machine based deal.
@BorrisInABox Thanks for confirming this. From what I’ve been reading, ubiquity gear is super powerful, however it requires a lot of fiddling to get settings just right. I guess this is why I am also interested in Firewalla gear which is supposed to segment VLANs and isolate things by default. I’m not particularly trying to become a network engineer just to get things set up correctly.
@kevinrj Yeah. You can have it as basic or not as you want. Everything pretty much just works by default if you just want a standard network configuration.
Könnte man der #Nextclout mitteilen, dass man das *High-performance backend* nicht benötigt, und bekäme dann wieder einen grünen Haken im Admin-Panel, fände ich das sehr schön.
Doch, das kannst du bei den Talk Einstellungen vornehmen. Da kannst du einen Haken setzen, dann kommt die Meldung nur noch als Bemerkung, nicht als Fehler.
This version adds RwLockWriteGuard::downgrade(), adds Location::file_as_c_str(), improves diagnostic and validation for various attributes, no longer warns for unused Result<(), Infallible>, and more!
