Hey folks! I'm getting back into Thunderbird as my main email app on Windows and I'm on the hunt for some great add-ons.
I'm especially interested in **accessibility-focused add-ons** that play nice with NVDA and JAWS screen readers. But I'm also curious about any **cool add-ons** that make Thunderbird even better, even if they're not specifically for accessibility.
Got any recommendations? Share them here!
Tagging @mastoblind and @main to spread the word. This is for my fellow blind users, but anyone with a favorite Thunderbird add-on, please chime in!

What if we could convince all Canadians that the NDP is the safe anti-Cons vote everywhere? Minimize the vote splitting, but to the left, and not to the (neoliberal) right?
... I think we could win.

OK. I haven't done one of these for a while. Let's play a predictive text game. Write the words "I am so" and let predictive text handle the rest! I'll start the madness.
I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the situation in this country and will not allow it to happen in the future

Hmmmm. "cool" feature of some IX's combined with some IX participants.
First, find a IX address that is not in use:
root@linx-ns:~# ping 195.66.231.230
PING 195.66.231.230 (195.66.231.230) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 195.66.231.230 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0msThen hard set it's neighbour mac address to something that is not on the IXP
root@linx-ns:~# ip neigh replace 195.66.231.230 lladdr de:ad:ad:dd:dd:dd dev enp129s0f0.700Then set a destination route to go via the mac-address-that-does-not-exist
root@linx-ns:~# ip route add 9.9.9.9/32 via 195.66.231.230and then ping it
root@linx-ns:~# ping 9.9.9.9
PING 9.9.9.9 (9.9.9.9) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 195.66.226.119: icmp_seq=1 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 195.66.225.238)
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.720 ms
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.756 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.47 ms (DUP!)
^C
--- 9.9.9.9 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, +2 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.720/0.981/1.468/0.344 ms:wow-horse: Cool right??
What is happening here is nuts on many different levels. To start, the non existent MAC address forces this IX (LINX) to treat any packets send to as "BUM" traffic, LINX could have prevented this by using static MAC like quite a lot of the other big ones do.
That however does not explain why we got ping responses... It turns out some routers on the peering LAN don't check if the destination MAC address for a packet is their own before forwarding the traffic! in this case 3 different LINX member routers saw my unknown unicast packet and was like "sure, why not, I'll route that!", and the packet routed all the way through to 9.9.9.9, and a response came back to me.
Mental!

Hello o/ I am excited to announce Bechamel a collective around the software knows as Guix (which most people use through the Gnu channel of Guix)
Bechamel is something I started as a much easier way for people to contribute to a guix channel (no emailing patches, workflow not built around Emacs, xmpp used instead of irc). It also aims to be a more private and safes space to contribute to Guix things (like using the JoinJabber CoC and the soon the Cooperative Software Development Guidelines) among other things. Rationale: codeberg.org/Guix_Bechamel/col…
There are also some other plans including tackling the long-standing accessibility problems in Guix, adding pilul support to guix, rust/python build system improvements and much improved and updated support for xmpp things. Hopefully you are going to see me post a lot more about it from now on :)
At the moment it has updated Gajim the XMPP client to 1.9.5 which brings around 2 years of updates. It also has started having some extensive practical documentation around Guix. And some other things like cerca the forum software.

“Have we been able to able to contact London?”
“Negative, Commander. All of our primary and backup channels remain down. We have also been unable to make contact with any other British submarines.”
“It’s been four days, now. I think it’s time. It’s safe to assume something catastrophic has occurred.”
The commander looked solemnly toward another senior member of the crew.
“Fetch the letter.” He said.
“Absolutely, sir.” The officer said, moving out of the submarine’s control room.
“You see,” the commander said, addressing the remaining crew. “Every Prime Minister prepares letters of last resort for British Submarines. It contains instructions on what we should do in the event that the government has fallen and we cannot make contact with them. No one has ever opened one of these letters, let alone had to follow the instructions.”
The senior officer returned with a sealed envelope, and handed it to the commander. The commander proceeded to open the envelope. He took out a folded piece of paper and paused.
“We are a family aboard this submarine, and we may be all we have left for one another. For that reason, I will read this aloud, so we all know the plan at the same time.”
He unfolded the paper.
“Here goes,” he said, taking a deep breath. “It reads, HP Laserjet P1102W Self Test and Device Configuration.”
The Commander stopped and looked up.
“I believe they may have put the wrong page in.”
