Hello everyone, I made an audio recording of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin for a friend.
I've licensed the audio to the public domain, so if you want to listen to it, or remix it, or use it in a thing, go nuts. (Note: the text itself is under copyright, see replies to this post for licensing contact if you have commercial requirements.)
I'm still working on my voice acting and narration, but I think it came out well. (And if you require this voice, please note that I need money and you can hire me to read things for you.)
You can read the story in text at:

AWESOME new @kagihq update:
For ex: I want to look at the #OpenStreetMap wiki page for (power) sockets.
Previously you could do search like this:
socket !osmwiki
this would bring you to wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sp…
But if I know that the chance of the right page being the first result on #Kagi is high, I can just do:
socket @osmwiki !
then I land on: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke…:*
! is basically the Kagi equivalent of that google "i'm feeling lucky" feature from back in the day
@pietervdvn yeah Kagi is using the same ddg bang list but with some modifications.
instead of doing
!wosm <search>
I now will do
@wosm <search> !
which will put me on the first result Kagi finds. skipping having to click on the osmwiki search results first.
In my example, doing
!wosm socket
would land me on the search results page on the wiki
but
@wosm socket !
would land me directly on the key:socket page

Some more work on testing congestion control in picoquic on high speed loopback links. I found out that the data rate for a 10GB download using Cubic was less than half the data rate of a 1GB download. The issue: ACK Frequency was setting a 1ms delay and a very large ACK Gap, causing feedback frequency to drop and Cubic to slow. The fix: cap the ack gap to 32. More in the blog.

The first investigation of loopback performance focused on the randomness of the RTT measurements on loopback, and the fix for BBR was to not make congestion control decisions based on delays if the RTT were small.privateoctopus.com

Three years ago I blogged about #OpenSSL's decision to deliberately block #QUIC progress in the world: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/10/25…
Which is timely with the OpenSSL 3.4.0 release announced just days ago: that still does not offer a working (and performant) QUIC API. (yes, there is an attempt there but it's not production grade)
It's almost like the writing was on the wall already a long time ago.
In a world that is now gradually adopting HTTP/3 (which, as you know, is implemented over QUIC), the problem with the missing API for QUIC is still a key problem.daniel.haxx.se

25.10.1950 se narodil Christopher Ward Norman, 🇬🇧 glam rockový zpěvák a hudebník.
Chris byl především tváří kapely Smokie, kde zpíval v letech 1964-1986. Mimo ni zaujal v r. 1978 duetem Stumblin' In se Suzy Quatro a v r. 1986 vydanou deskou Some Hearts Are Diamonds s hitem Midnight Lady.
Smokie i Chris dodnes vydávají každý svá alba. Pro mě ale ty největší ♥️ovky dál zůstávají v 70s a ujíždím na nich dodnes. Ujeď si 2x i ty.😉👇

UnitedHealth has confirmed for the first time that over 100 million people had their personal information and healthcare data stolen in the Change Healthcare ransomware attack, marking this as the largest healthcare data breach in recent years.
Before you tell a disabled person that they need to “just make the healthcare worker mask”… please understand the imbalance of power that exists in hospital settings.
We can’t “just make them” do anything. If they refuse -our options are to take the risk or go without care.
There’s little recourse when a HCW refuses to mask - there’s almost NO recourse that exists in the moment.
You can file a complaint after the fact - but if the care you require is urgent or an emergency - that won’t help you
Imagine you’re taken to the emergency room with an urgent (or life threatening) issue. The doctor comes in and refuses to wear a mask.
Do you walk out? Throw a fit? These are not good options
Even if you manage to keep your composure and strongly advocate for them to reconsider - the longer you argue the more potential virus you’re being exposed to.
The more you “annoy” the staff - the greater the odds of retaliation or reduction in care.
This isn’t like telling a friend or a colleague to mask. The dynamic is completely different.
HCWs have the ability to help you or harm you. You want them on your side.
A note in your chart indicating you’re anxious, difficult, non compliant etc can follow you around and impact all your care going forward. Getting charts corrected and notes removed is a time consuming and difficult process
As a result many patients don’t push the issue. They delay medical care as long as possible and then just cross their fingers they will get a compassionate HCW when they do finally go.
These delays can also cause harm - and shouldn’t be necessary.
Hospitals have never been terribly safe places. They’re where the strongest and most resistant bugs thrive. They’re also where the sickest and most vulnerable people are.
At least before Covid it felt like hospitals were TRYING to prevent infection.
These days it’s as though any amount of infection control is seen as weak. People are actually bragging about how many times they’ve had Covid or about the risks they’re taking with their health. Staff aren’t masking even around babies, cancer & transplant patients
We have to change course. Our healthcare systems could barely handle the amount of chronic illness they were facing before Covid - they certainly can’t handle the constant influx of disabled patients and staff that Covid is causing.
This is why we need mandatory masks in healthcare settings. The responsibility to keep themselves and others safe should NOT fall on the vulnerable patient.
Many are unable to advocate for themselves - and others are unable to mask.
Mandatory masking protects everyone
Lastly - the solution to this problem should not be “don’t go to the hospital”. It’s not right to make ANY patient feel like they’re wrong for seeking care. Like they’ve somehow “failed” if they end up with Covid.
Until you’re facing a life threatening emergency or serious health challenges - you can’t possibly know what you would do.
Is it scary to go to the hospital right now? Of course. Is it also necessary? Absolutely.
Patients should never be blamed for needing care or for being unable to get HCWs to mask. The system is failing us - we aren’t failing each other.
If you need the hospital - you have all my love & support. It’s impossibly hard - and I will keep fighting to make it better.
As long as hospitals refuse to do what’s right to prevent COVID (hello clean air & mandatory masking)… the onus is unfairly on the PATIENT to avoid COVID.
My guide offers tips to reduce your risk of hospital acquired COVID (and other HAIs)

A guide to navigating the risk of hospital acquired Covid - as well as how to manage overall risk of nosocomial infections and hospital derived complications.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
I’m sad that a guide on how to avoid COVID in hospital is even needed. But it IS needed.
What we need MORE is mandatory masking in hospitals. They would prevent the overwhelming majority of covid infections.
HCWs - you don’t need to wait for a mandate. You can CHOOSE to do the right thing and put a mask on! Protect yourselves and your patients - you will save a life.
disabledginger.com/p/a-plea-to…
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)

The Flac format (as I have added some replicated high frequencies that the mp3 encoder threw away) can be downloaded from MediaFire here

in reply to Erion • • •@erion Thank you so much, Sophie Aldred is one of my favourite narrators, so I may unconsciously mimic some of her style.
And thank you for working on the track. if you'd like to put your production chops into further practice, here's a FLAC of my original WAV file (with minimal cleaning and noise reduction - I have an uncleaned version available as well).

in reply to 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat • • •You are most welcome, glad I could help.
Sure, I'll do a revised version, no problem. For best results, the original, unprocessed recording (flac or wav) would be fantastic if you don't mind posting it. The one I posted has some noise reduction artifacts that were not easily correctable from the original mp3 unfortunately.

in reply to Erion • • •@erion Here's one with no attempt to ameliorate the sound or erase noise. I've left a few seconds of ambient room noise (most egregiously a computer fan) at the end.
