Made it over to the new instance. If something has gone awry and we are somehow not following one another, please follow me and I will follow you back. Please boost for reach. The migration process was really not a big deal at all. As usual, I made a big Fuss about it being over complicated and it wasn’t. Lol. Also oh my gosh I am so excited about having more characters. I promise not to spam you all with 10,000 characters each post, but it is good to know that it’s there for when I need it. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Our nieces and one of their moms stop by for a minute to drop something off. It was good to see them. I think we are going to do something together next weekend.

Here's an interesting question related to the character limit issue. Does the limit only apply to the posts you create or does this also apply to posts you read from other instances as well since your home instance is a proxy for all the posts you read in general? #mastodon

Weitere Fragen zur #Barrierefreiheit und #Screenreader

Ich habe ein Manuskript, das vor allem aus Dialogen besteht, also wie ein Hörspiel oder Theaterstück. Eine Hörspielumsetzung mit echten Personen ist wohl unrealistisch.

In der visuellen Version werden die Sprechenden durch Emojis vermerkt, die kann ich leicht durch Namen ersetzen, als AltText oder in einer extra Version.

Wie würdest du so etwas lesen wollen?

Namen sind wahrscheinlich einfacher, da ihre Aussprache vorhersehbarer ist – Emojis werden immer standardisierter und die meisten sind zugänglich, aber sie können oft auch eine längere Beschreibung haben – was nicht ideal ist, wenn sie wie in Ihrem Beispiel regelmäßig verwendet werden.

Benutzt du einen #Screenreader oder Ähnliches?

Vermute ich richtig, dass eine einfache HTML-Seite (ohne JavaScript oder kompliziertes Layout) bei gleichem Inhalt grundsätzlich barrierefreier ist als eine PDF-Datei? Wie ist es mit ePub?

Wertet dein Screenreader PDF-Tagging und Alternativtexte aus, oder liest er nur vor, was an der Oberfläche zu sehen ist?

Ah, danke. Ich kenne mich mit ConTeXt nicht aus, aber wenn die Ausgabe in HTML einfacher ist, würde ich das auf jeden Fall wählen. Es ist standardisierter, für alle einfacher zu verwenden und im Allgemeinen einfacher zu erstellen und die Zugänglichkeit zu gewährleisten.

ConTeXt ist eine TeX-Variante, Parallele zu LaTeX, aber mit einer viel kleineren Community.
Bei LaTeX wurde in letzter Zeit mit erheblichem Aufwand das Tagging für barriereärmeres PDF verbessert. Die ConTeXt-Entwickler stellen die Validatoren zufrieden, im Bewusstsein, dass gutes semantisches Tagging anders aussieht. Solange man TaggedPDF aber nur mit Acrobat Pro analysieren kann, und das niemand finanzieren möchte, wird nicht mehr passieren.

Every so often I go read the Amazon reviews for replacement SawStop cartridges and see how many fingers have been saved lately

Even the folks reporting false positives on wet wood, nails, etc almost always give five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Five star review from MIKE D. “Keep tour fingers” Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021 Saved my finger will never go back to normal Table saw
Five star review from Bruce D. Wedlock “Saved a finger” Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2023 Style: Brake Cartridge Cartridge instantly stopped blade when I accidentally touched it. Saved a serious cut.
A five star review from Calvin: “I love my fingers” Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014 One day I did something stupid and jammed my thumb into the spinning blade of my table saw I expected 3/4 inch of the end of my thumb to be gone, blood all over the place, and a $10,000 trip to the hospital. Fortunately that spinning blade was on a SawStop saw and I received only a tiny nick. Just down to the pink, no bleeding. I put a band aid on it and sat in the corner until my heart rate slowed to normal. The brake cartridge and blade were toast but less than $200 to replace. If l'd cut off my finger it would have been my fault, no question. But since we all eventually do something careless this system is worth every penny. Besides, it is a great saw.

I find myself really irked by the headline here. The problem is not a "simple website bug", the problem is that they wrote thousands of lines of code without ever thinking about what the trust boundaries are, or should be.

This is a massive design flaw. The idea that cars should be controllable from some mothership is bizarre (and not needed for app control - have a digital signature from the mobile device). The idea that cars are enrolled even if the user didn't set up an account is similarly broken. This isn't a "simple website bug" but a massive failure to consider the security implications of features.

Some of these science videos I see on TikTok are so absurd I'm convinced I'm being trolled.

There was one where they were putting a bunch of bees into tiny chairs in a miniature classroom. Then they placed explosives in front of the class and only fed the bees which attempted to investigate the explosives. As a result the bees became conditioned to instinctively stick out their tongues expecting food whenever they detected the scent of explosives. So they built a handheld explosive scanner where the cartridges are literally just rows of bees in tiny chairs and a computer vision algorithm which monitors how many bees stick out their tongues at any one time.

I though this has to be an elaborate prank, but according to Google, this is actually a real device that someone made.

Placed a WalMart order yesterday, it was delivered this morning. We allowed substitutions for most items. So I wake up to a message indicating they wanted to replace Great Value hot dog buns with…wait for it…wait for it…Great Value…oh boy this should be good…hamburger buns! One would think that just the fact that someone ordered hot dog buns would indicate that they want to fix hot dogs, and that hamburger buns would be entirely useless for this purpose…apparently not!

That's because hdmi has the ability to do both audio and video and your hdmi port can probably do both. You will need to set your default sound card to the internal one or whatever you want to be the default. You can also tell your screen reader to only use the sound card of your choice to lock it in. I encounter this when hooking up my ham radio from time to time because one of its functions shows up as a sound card to the computer.

If you want to, you can set your Mastodon account to automatically delete your own posts after a certain time period (for example posts older than 90 days). You can also set it to retain certain types of posts even after the period has elapsed.

There is a step-by-step guide about how to use this feature at:

The guide also answers lots of questions including why deletions sometimes get delayed, and whether auto-deletion stresses server resources.

I just experienced something that I didn’t think would ever happen. I just got through watching last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” with Audio Description. I’ve been an SNL fan for about as long as I can remember, but there have always been points in the show where I didn’t know what was going on. This is the first time where that wasn’t the case.

Many mysql processes "/usr/bin/mariadbd" and CPU at 100%,makes Friendica unstable

Hello @Friendica Support I need your support please
I have a problem for a few weeks now which makes my server unstable , and makes Friendica inaccessible, the simplest and fastest solution is to restart the server.
I noticed that this problem also happens to me when I send friend requests

Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
Friendica version 2024.08
mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.8-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

As you can see from the screenshot there are many mysql processes , /usr/bin/mariadbd , and the CPU is at 100%

Some help please...

Thanks
Cheers

Hi @Michael Vogel
I tried to change my configuration /etc/mysql/my.cnf I added

[mysqld]

join_buffer_size = 2M
innodb_log_file_size = 1G
tmp_table_size = 512M
max_heap_table_size = 512M
wait_timeout = 60
max_connections = 500

query_cache_size=64M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=4600M
key_buffer_size=1G
innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_log_buffer_size=212M
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=5
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
open_files_limit=40000
table_open_cache=2200
wait_timeout=28800
interactive_timeout=28800
max_connections=1000

This is the current configuration,I made small changes at a time, but the problem is the same (Bad Gateway Error 502), with the other configurations I had little RAM usage but the CPU was at 100% .

It could be an inefficient/Slow query? 🙄
