A blind colleague recently joined a new federal agency. The agency is refusing to let him use the NVDA screen reader (free, open source), because it's created by an Australian non-profit which is not registered on SAM.gov (because they're not a vendor).

If you know of how a federal employee has gotten approval to use NVDA, would you let me know what magic words were required?

@Bruce_Toews That's an ugly situation. A blind computer user requesting a specific screen reader isn't the same as someone requesting an alternative to the company's Office suite or CRM. It's equivalent to someone needing a larger monitor or an ergonomic keyboard. I suppose you could argue that the screen reader used by a company might also have custom scripts for that company's applications that make that particular screen reader work better than a competing screen reader. Still, a screen reader is a very special type of access and I wouldn't want my employer interfering with how I best use my computer.

@Bruce_Toews So it's essentially JAWS or Dolphin's Supernova, then? I'm glad that I know JAWS and NVDA equally well but I feel bad for users who only know NVDA who then have to learn a whole new screen reader. Fortunately, Web navigation commands are very similar but configuring the two screen readers uses very different commands and methods.

I haven’t gotten a voicemail like this in years and years! Apparently they can still happen. Who’s still doing this? Also, I’m realizing most of my younger followers have never gotten a call like this, or dealt with the absolute certainty they’re about to get a couple more, because it always retries.

@MHS_Jenkins i'm thinking of installing debian testing, was on arch in the past, but to many bleedin updates every day. being blind debian testing may be a good choise? also a good middle ground between update frquency of updates and stability? please, don't get me started on f** snapps! I dispize them. they are squashfs filesystems mounted on boot and when say you run the firefox snap for the first time, it has to unsquashfs the file system it's why it takes a little time in launching. sorry about the rant! your thoughts on my progression path? why debian has all services start on install of a package I will never know.

@FreakyFwoof oh, pi-hole, I love you! you've saved my ass so many times, kepd the predations of the windows adds away and the telemetry. I can't wate for your upgrade to pi-hole v6! good buy php! you will no longer be required, nore will you lighttpd a server will be embedded in to the binary, this makes things alot smaller in footprint! warning, warning felloe pi-hole users! when you go and upgrade to v6, you will have to remove php and lighttpd manually! apt-get purge! alot less ram usage when the query log is being displayed. here's if you wish to read more on the upcumming changes! pi-hole.net/blog/2023/10/09/pi…

With PiHole it uses a set of upstream DNS servers like CloudFlare or Google. It can also use DNS over secured protocols to stop evesdropping on what DNS queries the server is making. If you install a recursive DNS server like Unbound behind Pihole then the Unbound itself will resolve the DNS records for you directly using the root nameservers and there is no third-party DNS resolver involved.

Got it working on my test Adguard Home RPi installation. Installed V5 with the admin web interface but chose not to install Lighttpd or PHP. After upgrading to the beta I got the new admin interface up. Not sure I would switch from AdGuard home, to me AdGuard Home is more compact in its file layout. Web interface seemed fairly usable, one thing I noticed was the toggle between basic and advanced mode didn't announce clickable.

Sure, but to the users using the program, it does seem random, unless they’re aware of the list. It also makes answering any questions accurately much harder, which is why I personally dislike strange exceptions.

Q: “Does cURL do DNS lookups?”
A: “Well, yes, unless…”

And when you end up with lots of those exceptions in programs, it becomes much faster to explain something quickly and accurately. This then leads to the situation where you’ll have to test and debug every new case or read the source code to gain knowledge of how the program works, because it can’t be simply and shortly explained. And when the TLD exception list is updated, it changes the behavior of existing setups, which can also be surprising at times. (Of course, this is nothing new, especially to you. But see it just as a generic comment).

All of this, of course, is just a personal opinion based on my personal experience with many projects trying to follow KISS.

P.S. I’ve used cURL a lot with Tor and I2P, and so far I’ve been happy with the --socks5-hostname and --resolve options. - What am I missing here? Maybe something essential, I just don’t know what.

To save your very valuable time, I also asked an AI for a reply to my comment and asked what I am missing.

“I understand your point about simplicity and predictability, and it’s true that exceptions can make it harder to explain how a program works. However, in the case of cURL, the exceptions are often necessary to handle the complexities of the real world.

DNS lookups, for example, are not always straightforward, and there are many edge cases that need to be handled. The TLD exception list is one such example, where certain TLDs require special handling. While it may seem like an unnecessary complication, it’s actually a necessary evil to ensure that cURL works correctly in all scenarios.

Additionally, the –socks5-hostname and –resolve options you mentioned are actually examples of how cURL provides flexibility and customization options to handle specific use cases, such as working with Tor and I2P. These options are not part of the core functionality, but rather provide a way to extend cURL’s capabilities to work with specific networks or protocols.

It’s not necessarily about what you’re missing, but rather about understanding the design trade-offs involved in creating a program like cURL. While simplicity is important, it’s not always possible to achieve simplicity without sacrificing functionality or correctness. In this case, the exceptions and options in cURL are a necessary part of making it a robust and versatile tool.”
