Time to introduce my last new project for this year:
«Zeroform» ... is a tool for generating minimalistic, self-hostable forms, with a twist: It can generate both static (html/css/js) and/or dynamic (php augmented) online forms.
My main motivation for zeroform is to create tooling that helps me gather more precise feedback while designing and developing (especially) #faircamp and #hyper8, and to do this in a way that reflects the values of those projects: Independence, simplicity, minimalism, freedom from maintenance, absence of tracking, etc.
Basically you start with a thought, put it down as a plaintext blueprint of the form/questionnaire/doodle/survey you have in mind, zeroform turns it into finished code and design, you can upload it, use it as long as its useful/needed, and then you can just delete it.
Think of it as your own google forms, without bigtech, without dependence on any infrastructure besides the cheapest of hosting plans, commissioned and decommisioned in a mere minute.
I'm now one week into the project, since today I'm developing in the open at codeberg.org/simonrepp/zerofor…, and I will put it to use in the next days already! I have roughly one more week reserved until the end of the year for making this usable for the general public - I'll announce when it's ready. ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ

@pvagner The desktop app is quite decent, although it's an Electron app. The one thing it is mising is a quick way to move between the panes, like the message pane and individual chat message history, and the entry field, via the keyboard, and a more efficient way than pressing tab a zillion times. Arrow key navigation within those lists and chats is already there.

I worked for a while at a place that had some pretty cool CNC machines, so I took videos of exciting stuff like tool changing, and high speed machining, and put them on a spare USB drive.
Around this time I bought a brand new car, and driving on the freeway, I tried out the stereo by plugging in a USB drive.
After a few songs, I started hearing these clunking and grinding and high pitched squealing sounds, so I pulled over, stopped the car, and got out to see if I could spot the problem.
I actually called the dealership to discuss getting towed back to their workshop before I realised … 🤦♂️

It’s hard to believe, but courtesy of @jcsteh today NVDA 64-bit alpha builds finally added something truly interesting and useful. Technically, it’s not listed under New Features but under Changes, and it says:
In browse mode in web browsers, NVDA no longer sometimes treats controls with 0 visual width or height as invisible. This technique is sometimes used to make content accessible to screen readers without it being visible visually. Such controls will now be accessible in browse mode where they weren't before. What this means in practice is that some previously inaccessible controls in browsers are now reachable. For example, when renewing my home internet plan, I had to complete a captcha. The audio option for it never appeared in NVDA, even with object navigation. I had to rely on Be My Eyes volunteers to read it for me. Now, with NVDA Alpha 53246, I can finally access that control and hear the audio captcha myself. Sometimes small changes make a huge difference.

I don't get why it wouldn't have appeared in object navigation though. This change only stops browse mode rendering from ignoring 0 width/height objects, but object navigation never ignored those in the first place. Simple review might skip the object of interest for other reasons, but not 0 width/height, and disabling simple review should have picked it up. Still, it's much harder to find things that way on complicated websites.
Believe me, I did try hard with this audio captcha, but with object navigation/ exploration there was 0 chance of finding and activating it. Strangely, it appears as a blank line in NVDA's page buffer. So I should press Enter on the blank line to have the audio captcha played.

I'd like to parse ipv4 addresses given as command line argument values.
I have got two arguments accepting ipv4 address.
If I specify single such option all is fine.
If I specify both, I 'm getting error like this:

@Federico Mena Quintero Oh, huge thanks for taking a look. Yes it's clap 3. It's not my decision, I'm attempting to contribute to an existing project so if I can make it work without major changes that might be helpfull. As I don't feel qualified for making decisions when it comes to this. I'm novice when it comes to #rust.
--socket argument is required, other two arguments are supposed to be used together and this condition is tested at runtime.
So if I specify all three command line arguments, I am always getting that error.
I have attempted using os::str and casting but the issue remains. I am simply compiling the app with cargo build --release.
Have you been just adding stuff I may have overlooked when trying to simplify for posting or did you actually changed something please?

@Federico Mena Quintero I've figured it out finally. The issue was not parsing ipv4 addresses but using matches.from_os() on the socket argument.
I have changed it to use std::path::PathBuf and it's working fine for me now.
Huge thanks for friendly hint and looking at my code.

I am the guest on this week's Penny Forward podcast. I talked about my journey in terms of finding work that aligned with my values as a blind person and attempted to give some general advice for blind people who are looking for work or looking for a job that better aligns with what they would like to be doing. I also talked a little about investing and about moving across the country. To be clear, nothing that I said was intended as a linear "if you do this, then you will find what you're looking for," but, from the point of view of doing what we can as individuals, it is about positioning ourselves to increase our chances of finding opportunities.

@Piciok @pvagner I’m glad the project caught your interest. To be honest, I’ve put it on hold for now because I ran into problems I couldn’t quite overcome — at least not easily with AI. However, I’ll definitely come back to it someday, since I’ve always wanted to build my own live broadcasting system; I just lacked the coding skills. Yes, SARA will be designed primarily around the traditional model of a live radio DJ — using a mixer, sound card (preferably several), and absolutely no virtual mixers or anything like that.

@Piciok @pvagner I’m pleased to share that I’ve returned to working on SARA. The latest version is now hitting GitHub, featuring an improved audio engine, an NVDA add-on that tames the excessive verbosity of WX controls, and the ability to paste items from the clipboard — including folders. A word of caution, though: inserting large numbers of files is still quite slow for now.
In the next release, I’m planning something no other accessible broadcasting software offers: a dedicated playlist for reading news and easily triggering service sound cues — a feature typically found only in professional systems used for preparing news bulletins. gitrls.com/michaldziwisz/sara/ If there are any features you’re missing in programs like StationPlaylist or RadioBoss, be sure to let me know. Just keep in mind that for now SARA is meant to be operated mainly by a human — full automation will probably come later. :)

@opensourceopenmind Ok. So I made a call from DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @LineageOS calling DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @postmarketOS with @phosh I got a nice ringtone on PostmarketOS phone, and Ubuntu laptop and iOS phone 👍️ I've answered on Postmarket phone. Audio worked great, and I also got video from Lineage phone but not from Postmarket phone (no surprise to me though I have a working front camera on PM OS so theoretically it could already be done). So 10/10 overall. Great work!👍️
@opensourceopenmind @LineageOS @postmarketOS Although for DeltaChat text messages received on PostmarketOS I still only get notification banners with haptics, no sound. Working with Delta running both in foreground and background. To get notification sound I have to have chat with that specific person sending text open in DeltaChat. Again on foreground or background doesnt matter but chat has to be open. Other way - only haptics.
Do you run Delta Chat Desktop or DeltaTouch on the postmarketOS phone?
Requirement to have a chat open to have a notification sound is not expected. Could you open an issue at github.com/deltachat/deltachat… or

Interesting, when a modal dialog (nested within a `<main>` element or some sectioning content) opens in Chrome it seems to disregard its context, so elements like `<header>` and `<footer>` will have `banner` and `contentinfo` roles as if they were scoped to `<body>`. When opened non-modally, they have `sectionheader` and `sectionfooter` (new ARIA roles + mapping) which means that it is computing the roles based on the dialog’s context.
Safari and Firefox keep the context is both scenarios (i.e. modal and non-modal). I have no idea what is correct. Need to read more.
Anyway, here’s a playground for the bug: knowler.dev/demos/MR4JmQW

Peter Vágner reshared this.
Interesting indeed. To distill that further:
data:text/html,<body><main role="none"><header>hi
So it seems Chrome is using the accessibility tree for the context restriction here, not the DOM tree. That means role="none" and any other way of removing content from the accessibility tree, including modal dialogs, change the context. In contrast, Firefox uses the DOM tree in this case.
Normally, the accessibility tree is what you want to use for context because of generics, role="none", etc. However, in this particular case, it seems more appropriate to do this based on the DOM. Hmm.

The spec is kinda vague too. It talks about being "scoped to the body", but scoped in terms of which tree? So I don't think you could argue that either is right or wrong purely using the spec at this point, unless I'm missing something.

Aha. SO I'll wait until it can do MathML before using it. I have no other need for typesetting that can't be solved with a WYSIWYG editor or Markdown/HTML.

Yep, chimed in on the discussion shortly before they finished the job. i'm about to write some papers using Typst now. Sadly enough, most conferences still just accept submissions in LateX, but i'm going to be persistent about it.
Good news! It's getting harder to keep track of new #chatmail relays :)
Recently several public relays were added to the chatmail.at/relays list, in Warsaw, Helsinki, Romania and Barcelona.🧡
If you have #deltachat installed on mobile, you can go to any chatmail relay website in the list and click on a link there to create a chat profile.
It's wonderful to hear about collectives setting up chat infrastructure like the recent xat.fedi.cat from @fedicat and @eXOfasia
Chatmail: Relays
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!chatmail.at

I've been using IndentNav for a while to write Python. Recently I installed BrowserNav and now get way more positional info about HTML elements. It took some getting used to, but now the beeps and tones help me get an idea of the physical layout of a site or electron interface.
It's similar to IndentNav, but it has more rules and works with web browsers instead of being focused on code in a text editor. Positioning is one of the pieces of information that I forgot how much I miss from my sighted days. It's especially helpful with API reference docs that rely on positional encoding. Since there's more info in the browser, I only have beeps instead of precise indentation levels to get a general idea of the structure

I love Joplin so much. I set up the selfhosted Joplin Notes at some point, and I have never, not even one time, had to touch it. It updates itself, it doesn't crash, it doesn't take up enormous amounts of system resources for no reason, and all the apps just work with it on my Windows, Mac, and IOS computers. I've even got other users on it, and it works just fine. And the apps are also good. Offline? No problem! You can still look at the last version of your stuff. Need to publish a quick, well-formatted single page to the web? Done with a snap!

@nick Nope. You don't have to update it if you've got it running in docker. Watchtower or whatever update process you use will handle it.
Ah, gotcha. ...Honestly, we're pretty awful with Docker and I don't think @quinn or I even knew what Watchtower was. Docker's one of those thigns we were dragged into kicking and screaming.
@nick@quinn You could also run cosmos-cloud.io. It'll run and update your dockers for you, configure your reverse proxies, manage your SSL certs, etc. But the nice thing is it uses the standard methods to do all of those things, so unlike other server management GUIs, you can do stuff via the command line or via cosmos-cloud and it doesn't matter.
I've been working with Docker and related tools for years; I even started playing with Docker before it reached 1.0. And this thread might be only the second time I've heard of Watchtower.
@matt@nick@quinn to be fair, it's not something you should do in an enterprise environment. In general, updates for things that aren't your hobby need to be deployed to staging, tested, and only then pushed to production. Watchtower just does an in-place update of the containers. But that's fine, and probably even better, for hobby projects.
Just heard about Bitrig, an iOS app that lets you "vibecode" apps in Swift UI from your phone. It was created by some X Swift UI devs who used to work at Apple, and although I haven't yet tested this out I have no reason to think it wouldn't be accessible. This could actually be a really fun way to learn, as you can not only see the final result, but also view and edit the code. You can even share your new app with friends and deploy to TestFlight. Link to the main site: bitrig.app

It’s actually quite good. I created a tiny visual metronome app for myself. My excitement is temporarily down because they lack some of the frameworks that I needed for another app.
It is really accessible, at least enough for you to design your own apps.
Give it a shot!

For a few years I've been aware of this website that purports to be able to unlock shopping cart wheels using the speaker on your phone, but i finally had an excuse to try and and i remembered in the moment.
A woman was outside the grocery store struggling to move her shopping car that was stuck because two of the wheels were locked
I remembered the website! So I put my phone near the wheels and played the sound. The wheels unlocked like magic. She was very happy. So cool.

Apparently, Zoom P4 Next has been released. It's so so cool to see accessibility being mentioned in the video as one of the features advertised. youtube.com/watch?v=Id73VO07C0…

Absolutely! So obvious question here but this thing is not meant to record, say VST instruments with low latency in a DAW, it would specifically be audio only stuff?
@jpellis2008 Not sure I understand the question. It’s just a recorder with a lot of cool stuff. Can be connected as an audio card though.
Oh wow, cool! this might be one of my next recorders should I want to record externally again in the future.
I have a rather peculiar #Android problem.
- I use personalDNSfilter (zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsf…) to block ads system-wide. It's basically like running a local pi-hole using a local VPN.
- I would also like to use Orbot (#Tor) and run some apps (specifically Nextcloud) that don't natively support proxying through Orbot's VPN.
The problem is, Android won't let me run two VPNs at the same time. And blocking ads without a VPN would require rooting my phone, which I don't want to do. However:
- personalDNSfilter can expose the DNS server on port 5300 without using the VPN (which is useless in itself).
- Orbot can expose its HTTP and SOCKS proxy without using the VPN (which is also useless in itself).
Is there some way to setup a custom VPN that would combine these two things, i.e., let me route some apps through Orbot's proxy and use the local DNS server (provided by personalDNSfilter) at port 5300? I was looking at OpenVPN for Android (github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn), but I'm honestly really confused. Help please? 😅 Boosts appreciated.

@sesivany Interseting, I haven't thought about this. So it supports DoT? I looked at Pi-hole and it's problematic there.
Yes, it does. Standard DNS, DoT and DoH. I use all them them. Standard DNS for our home network, DoT and DoH are open to the Internet and used on mobile devices. Unlike standard DNS no one abuses open DoT and DoH.
