So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.

1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years

This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".

Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.

The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.

Just released a new version of wcurl:
github.com/curl/wcurl/releases…

There's 3 new exciting features:

* New option "-o|-O|--output" for those who would like to choose the output filename.

* Automatic percent-decoding of output filenames, especially handy for URLs which are not written in Latin-based languages.

* Default filename set to "index.html" for those cases where wcurl/curl couldn't identify an output filename from the URL. You can now download everything with wcurl!


Release v2024.12.08 · curl/wcurl

New parameter -o|-O|--output|output= which allows the user to choose the output filename. Default to index.html as filename if none can be inferred from the URL. Percent-decode output filenames by ...

Nová studie vědců Floridské státní univerzity ukazuje, že přidávání olova do benzínu způsobilo jen v USA deprese, úzkosti nebo hyperaktivitu u více než poloviny populace. V roce 2015 mělo více než 170 milionů Američanů vysoké hladiny olova v krvi během klíčových fází vývoje mozku. Důsledky zahrnovaly nejen pokles IQ a nižší příjmy, ale také rozsáhlé problémy s duševním zdravím.

Two related stories, both involving NVDA basically saving the day:
1. A week-long goalball camp that took place in a school during the summer. The library computers were locked down and had no screen reader on them. I helped a few people get NVDA running. I think it was version 0.5 at the time.
2. All throughout high school the blind school had hilariously old computers running a six-year-old version of JAWS. I basically ran my own portable software suite with NVDA as the screen reader. I can confirm it ran much, much better than JAWS ever has ... and possibly ever will.

As a service to security researchers, I added this section to #curl's hackerone page:

AI

If you have used AI in the creation of the vulnerability report, you must disclose this fact in the report and you should do so clearly. We will of course doubt all "facts" and claims in reports where an AI has been involved. You should check and double-check all facts and claims any AI told you before you pass on such reports to us. You are normally much better off avoiding AI.

Day 8 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. If a view has isAccessibilityElement to true, assistive tech won't look for any of its subviews. That means that if there are any buttons inside, they won't be accessible. In those cases, you can add custom actions to be able to activate the actions for those buttons.

#365DaysIOSAccessibility

Calendar of Advent of iOS Accessibility. Day 8. Inaccessible buttons within accessible views. Example of the Mastodon app. If we make the table view cell representing a post an accessible element so it is easier to navigate, the subviews, including the buttons, won't be accessible anymore. So how can a VoiceOver, Keyboard, Voice Control, or Switch Control user interact with them? Custom actions to the rescue. In SwiftUI there is a new modifier, since iOS 16, called accessibilityActions. Before, you had to add the actions one by one. In UIKit, there is an accessibilityCustomActions property, which is an array of UIAccessibilityCustomAction.
