„HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 explained“

The HN thread full of hilarious „I know better“ alphas and corporate conspiracy fans.

It is fun to explore what is good. It is childish to fight over what is best.
The economy idea that life is competition, that we are in a „lifeboat“ universe where everything needs to be ranked, is toxic.

I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
Thank you.

@Conan_Kudo I wonder if it would make sense to use a portal for that interface, even though assistive technologies like Orca are not currently sandboxed, and it arguably doesn't make sense to try to sandbox them.
The D-Bus interface definition in question is here: gitlab.gnome.org/mwcampbell/mu… Yeah, not documented yet.

@jadahl We've had a need for it ever since the Remote Desktop portal was introduced. We also have requests for it for the Input Capture portal. We even have requests for it for the Screenshot and Screencast portals! It's not theoretical, these requests go back *years*.
And frankly, every single portal should be capable of pre-authorization. It should be in the xdg-desktop-portal frontend interface itself. Instead, the backends have to hack together crappy workarounds to do it themselves.
@jadahl Don't get me wrong, the portal infrastructure is useful, but it has big gaping holes in the design and interaction model because people keep thinking of it as a Flatpak-oriented system.
We need to stop thinking of it that way because it *isn't* that anymore. It's used for system software all over the place. It's *required* for Wayland environments now.
It needs to be treated as the user interaction hot path it is.
@jadahl xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a policy of only implementing portals to bridge to Wayland protocols. This is because the wlroots developers do not like having D-Bus as a mandatory dependency. Every portal must be connected to a Wayland protocol.
The only portals implemented are screenshot and screencast, and only partially at that (you cannot select individual windows because the Wayland protocol wlroots uses for this does not support it).
@jadahl As an example of a highly desired portal that will never get implemented in xdg-desktop-portal-wlr: the Global Shortcuts portal.
The discussion in the project issue exemplifies this policy: github.com/emersion/xdg-deskto…

If you need a blind accessible smart scale in the EU, Lidl's Silver Crest SBF75 body analyser is a pretty good choice for 18 euros. The only inaccessible bit is when it asks for a 6 digit code during bluetooth pairing.
Everything else works beautifully, the Health for You app is completely accessible via VoiceOver (not sure about Android), including the measurements history, weight, water intakes, calories data, etc.
The scale also supports up to 8 people based on a reference measurement during your profile setup, which can be done on the phone through the app as well. All in all, this is a fantastic experience compared to a lot of other, way more expensive bluetooth smart scales. #a11y #blind

I am sure there is, it's just a matter of experimenting which is unfortunately not a good idea for your wallet.
Given that Lidl used to have talking bathroom and food scales, blood pressure monitors, I figured I'd give this a try because their brand is surprisingly reliable for an affordable price and luckily it worked out beautifully. I've heard Xiaomi's scales also work, though their app is not as good.

Ani jsem to nezmiňoval, protože to dnes považuju za standard, který má i konkurence, ale ve Firefoxu to teď IMHO funguje fakt pěkně.

Somebody from engineering suggested $63, but the financial department questioned that and thought "this was from our engineers, they surely meant the binary version of 63".

More details about the end of #IPv4 in state services: On 18th of December 2013 Czech #government decided that every service provided by Czech state has to be available on #IPv6 and be protected by #DNSSEC by 30th of June 2015. Yesterday a followed up action has been agreed on. On 6th of June 2032, IPv4 will be disabled on all services offered by Czech republic and they will be only available on IPv6 from that day on. Apart from that, every June starting from 2025, Czech government will get a report on how are the preparations.
Overall seems like a bold move, but I totally support it! IT sends a message, that #IPv4 is over and everybody should move to #IPv6 already. And even government - the definition of conservative and bureaucratic institution - gets it. Then why shouldn't you embrace it 😉

Seeking Blind Software Developers
From: Job-Listings <
job-listings-bounces@nfbnet.org>
On Behalf Of Richard Davis via Job-Listings
Kevin Fjelsted of R. D. Partners, Inc. is interested in hiring blind persons as software developers. They are engaged in developing telecommunications
software for their customers, including CRM LIght and iOS applications for iPhone.
As you may know, finding software developers who know accessibility is a big problem today. Kevin thinks hiring blind persons is the solution to this problem.
Given the demand for software developers today (100,000 job vacancies nationwide) companies are no longer requiring four year degrees in computer science
or information technology. Instead, a number of "boot camp" training programs have cropped up, some of them quite expensive. R.D. Partners has found a
nonprofit that has agreed to train people for them at no charge to trainees.
What do you need to do to take advantage of this opportunity? First of all, be a power computer user with knowledge of accessibility. Some training and/or
experience in software development is recommended, but a solid interest in learning and a commitment to this type of work is definitely required. They
will be able to determine if you have the aptitude pretty quickly.
This is a job for a creative person. Many software developers are writers, poets, and artistic types. That may surprise some of you, but it is true.
If you feel you are qualified, contact
kevin.fjelsted@rdpartnersinc.com.
He is willing to answer the kinds of tecnical questions I cannot.
Best wishes,
Dick Davis

RevK's privacy-friendly GPS logger
My very clever friend, @revk, has been making a GPS logger which requires no third party account or server, after I said I was looking for one.
Here are my initial thoughts on using it.
tl;dr: it just works. It automatically logs our journeys to an on-board micro-SD card, and uploads them, via https POST, to my webserver, when it connects to Wi-Fi. And it runs Free software!

This is definitely a sign of the work we need to do to increase awareness! As we get the Foundation more fully operationalized we hope to provide some materials to help introduce more folks to Matrix.

Comment sections need to get better at this. Maybe there should be a downvote threshold that starts hiding all comments from one account? Or, sites should prevent people from commenting above a certain rate?
