Hello Masto-peeps who use screen readers!
I just learned that I need to put alt text on URLs for more accessible PDFs, but -- what should it say?
I am formatting academic citations that include a URL, so all the information about where that link will take you is in the text. I don't want it to read the URL to you and I don't want to just repeat the same information you just heard. What do you find most helpful in this situation?
Pls boost for reach!

Anyone using the Blade Player for Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud?
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/v.bla…
It wasn't updated since 12/2023, but still sees more than 100 installs per month here. In its issue tracker, there are reports of crashes, and Spotify being broken. Does it still work for you? Or should we rather remove it?
EDIT: as it seems entirely broken, it has now been removed. Thanks to all who checked!

Need some #Ceph advisory for my private cluster on #proxmox:
3 nodes with 2x 18 TB HDD each.
According to some docs I found, WAL/DB size should be 1-4% of the disk size, so a SSD should be between 180 to 720 GB for each disk or 360 to 1.44 TB for the two disks in each node.
Is this still be true or is it nowadays more relaxed and - let's say - 200 GB for each HDD will be sufficient?
Looking at the *at family of functions and I just realized that I viewed them as part of the capsicum security framework and not as part of allowing a threaded program to access relative paths from each thread's own working directory.
This explains why absolute paths are allowed and ignores the directory fd.
FreeBSD's openat man page explains this.

@bagder @DoomHammerNG In any case I assume the tools are by no means a substitute for real knowledge and experience, else it's like putting a toddler in an excavator and expect good results - he might dig holes, but...
I reckon the Debian ssh-keygen bug (CVE-2008-0166) was caused by someone supposedly trying to fix a bogus Valgrind error (I say supposedly because if he limited the change to the lines triggering Valgrind that would've been the end of it, but he applied it everywhere)

Fette Lücke in der #GameEngine #Unity mit Schadcodeausführung, teilweise auch aus dem Internet: heise.de/news/Spiele-Engine-Un…
Die Liste erscheint mir, auch mit der Einschränkung "in Unity Gaming Engine Editor Version 2017.1 oder neuer" erstellt etwas kurz, wenn man bedenkt wie krass verbreitet Unity doch ist. Und ob da noch alles gepatcht wird, darf bezweifelt werden - da sind ja so seinige Legacy-Titel bei.

Like, this is only looking at android to begin with as desktop systems have usually no app isolation anyway, so "local app can gain privileges of other local app" is not a vulnerability there.
On android some malicious app you have installed can exfiltrate your savegames or game logins, I guess?
Remote exploitability while theretically possible has a lot more requirements.

***** An Open Letter to the CEOs of #Apple and #Google: Would you have supported the Nazis during WWII? *****
Dear Tim and Sundar,
Hi. I'd normally start a letter like this asking how you were doing, but since you're both billionaires who have been palling around with Donald Trump, I think we can dispense with that formality this time.
I've got a question for you guys. I don't really expect an answer, but I feel that it needs to be asked anyway. Here we go ...
"If Apple, Google, and apps had been around during WWII, would you have supported the Nazis, either explicitly or implicitly?"
As you probably know, IBM has been raked over the coals for decades for the technological assistance they provided the Third Reich, helping them tabulate "undesirables" for a "final solution."
Which brings us to you two! Yeah, you knew this was coming. I have to assume that your dramatic decisions to remove apps that helped the public legally determine the location of ICE operations was approved at your level. If not, you're still ultimately responsible, of course.
Word is that DOJ requested Apple to pull the apps, and that Google pulled them proactively without waiting around for a request. These of course were completely legal apps, breaking no laws that I'm aware of. Banning them from your apps stores effectively bans them virtually completely in a practical sense. Sideloading in iOS has always been difficult, and Google has announced upcoming restrictions that would make sideloading much more difficult for Android as well.
The parallels between your decisions regarding those apps and what went on during WWII in Nazi Germany are very troubling indeed. The Nazis legally (under then current laws) rounded up their target populations: Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and a range of other "undesirables", then "disappeared" them with minimal or no due process, whisking them off to concentration camps. This included cripples, mothers, children -- an enormous range. Many were never heard from again. Millions were exterminated.
I don't need to spell out the parallels with what Trump's ICE is now doing -- they're obvious on the daily news. And before you protest that you're not killing anyone by banning those apps, I'd argue that you indeed are very likely contributing to deaths.
The large majority of people being deported via these ICE raids have no criminal record and their only "crime" is being in this country illegally -- sometimes for decades raising families of U.S. citizens. Many are being deported to countries where they face the high likelihood of horrific treatment including torture and death.
I don't really need to go on any further, do I boys? You're both intelligent and informed. You both know exactly what you're doing. So I come back to the original question. If your firms had been around during WWII, would you have supported the Nazis? If not, your apparently enthusiastic embrace of the current administration's fascist behaviors seems inexplicable.
But hey, perhaps you have logical explanations that aren't obvious to those of us in the non-billionaire class. If so, we'd love to hear them!
Sincerely,
L

If Canada wan't a dirty petrostate it would have said that 50 years is more than long enough for the oilmen to have developed a technology to clean up their toxic tailings lakes that are polluting the Athabasca River. If Canada wasn't a petrostate it would take over the tailings lakes, clean them up, and bill the oilmen directly.
But Canada is a climate villain petrostate. Perhaps the EU should look to better trading partners than #PetroStateCanada

You could try Braille Scrabble, learn about assistive devices, simulate visual impairments and listen to sound samples collected by @Piciok to guess where they were recorded (e.g. a train station, a beach or a city centre). I also appreciated the separate room that had been decorated with candles and fairy lights to create a cosy atmosphere, offering some relief from #sensory #overload 🕯️
