Reminder that "sometime not long after December 15th", the botsin.space server, a home to many of your favorite creative bots, will be entering a read-only mode, before its planned shutdown.

(The server will run until at least March 2025.)

Hope most of you bot admins managed to migrate by now!

FindMyDevice je open-source služba pro nalezení ztraceného mobilu
infoek.cz/findmydevice-je-open…

V dnešní době se nevyplácí krást mobilní telefony, jelikož mohou obsahovat různé bezpečnostní aplikace. Každý chytrý mobil má již od výrobce funkci pro jeho nalezení v případě ztráty. Funguje to dobře a zachránit to může mobil za několik desítek tisíc Kč. Kam ale tato data o mém pohybu na mapě vlastně tečou? Samozřejmě většinou do Googlu, Applu a dalších velkých společností. Někomu to vůbec nevadí, což je v pořádku, ale někomu to zkrátka vadí. Jaká je alternativa?

OpenStreetMap Currently Down (Now read-only)


The whole site is down and I can't upload any changesets. It doesn't appear maintenance related.

You can see some stats here:

prometheus.openstreetmap.org/d…

en.osm.town/@osm_tech/11365487…

Hopefully this is not another purposeful attack on OSM.

Edit: Site is up now, but the database is read-only. See: en.osm.town/@osm_tech/11365663…

Two Russian oil tankers have been badly damaged in the Black Sea, causing an oil spill, authorities in Russia have said.

Footage released by Russia's Southern Transport Prosecutor's Office showed the bow of one tanker completely broken off, with streaks of oil visible in the water.

Alright folks, if you miss SoftVoice, here's an updated add-on compatible with NVDA 2024.4: eurpod.com/softvoice2024.nvda-…
- install this over your copy. What it fixed mainly was converting this to use Python3, and I had to fix some pretty nasty recursion issues caused by the set_variant property calling itself. To resolve, I had to make private and public properties for these variables and assign these more carefully there. Indexing is now handled by storing all indexes in speech_list along with the text. Also, When sv_EVENT_SPEECH_DONE (1001) occurs, we retrieve self.last_spoken_indexes and call synthIndexReached for each index. This should add proper indexing support, though testing is appreciated.
Well darn. Say-all fully is still broken, so this is just basic indexing support.

@twynn yeah that's an odd one. I wonder if SoftVoice sends things in larger chunks. Basically, from what I can gather anyway, NVDA sends text to the synth in chunks and expects synthIndexReached notifications within or at the end of these chunks. If the synth only sends indexes at the very end of the entire text or not at all until the chunk completes, NVDA won't have intermediate landmarks to continue from, causing say-all to sstop like this. It's fascinating to me that this works in BestSpeech probably because for us we are having the ability to get these index notifications back after chunks there.

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the linux-game-manager project updated install games function. Inallations are now handled in files in the .install directory. This may be horribly broken, for stability, use the master branch.

Really interesting interview on Volts.wtf with @doctorow - Can we avoid the enshittification of clean-energy tech?

volts.wtf/p/can-we-avoid-the-e…

They cover a lot of really interesting aspects of #ClimateChange, technology and #OpenSource. There are so many good innovators in the clean tech space, yet even with good motives, the incentives can drive towards #enshittification.
