The weather's cloudy a lukewarm. Perfect for today's stream where I create a "yes, but no" resource for everyone who tells me to just switch to #linux :P
Nah but seriously we'll look at a number of first-time experiences (install, initial boot into the OS ec.) of various popular and less popular distros. I will comment on the #accessibility considerations primarily for #screenReader users and I'm sure other things'll come up. See you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed around 3 PM EST/8P BST/9pm CEST over at twitch.tv/ic_null or youtube.com/@blindlyCoding. My #peertube account is, unfortunately, not approved yet :) #selfPromo #tech #foss #selfHosting #homeLab #stream #ubuntu #debian #fedora #elementaryOs #kaliLinux #blind

A recap: We've covered a number of things on this channel so far, from an @elementary review to a look at code editors, datascience tools, screen readers, hacking tools like Burp Suite and platforms like TryHackMe, all from a screen raeder user's perspective. I'm only just getting started though, intending to cover a wide variety of different things, from more #FOSS tools, audio/video editing, programming and hacking tools etc.
Today's stream will be more #tryHackMe content, with a look at #HackTheBox Academy next week. Anyone who wants this kind of feedback, and doesn't mind constructive, but thorough, feedback, come talk to me :) We'll be going live today at 3 PMeST over at https;//twitch.tv/ic_null and youtube.com/@lindlyCoding #infoSEc #cybersecurity #accessibility #selfPromo #twitch #youtube #streaming

Ok, in an hour, i'll be starting this up. High temps, high effort and high complexity, what oculd go wrong? Let's dig into the #screenReader #accessibility of #jupyter notebooks, a tool prevalent in #dataScience, #python #programming in general, #machineLearning and therefore also practically all things #ai etc.
See you then over at twitch.tv/ic_null and youtube.com/@blindlycoding #goingLive #twitch #youtube #selfPromo

ok ok ok, we covered #jupyter last week. Our #datascience adventure continues with checking into the #accessibility of #google CoLab. Is it better than jupyter? Worse? Are there tools to make it better? How's a #blind person even do #ML and datascience anyway? Come see in just over 2 hours at twitch.tv/ic_null and youtube.com/@blindlycoding #python #programming #coLab #selfPromo

SO when the #accessibility testing, advocating and fixing becomes a bit much it can be rather cathartic to, rather than take " we'll maybe at some point get to this eventually possibly maybe" , you just fireball your obstacles out of existence.
I do gaming stoofs too on this tiny little #twitch channel simply called Zersiax, and will be checking out some #diabloIV over there in half an hour. If the new #openSSH vuln is making you sad or the ladybird dev's got you down on your luck, come see stuff getting exploded, it helps, I promise :) See you then, over at https;//twitch.tv/zersiax #selfPromo #gaming #noTechStuffForAChange

I have more to say. I will not be silent! :)
In an hour, we resume our explorations of #burpsuite, @zaproxy and other such fun tools, through a #tryHackMe lens. More theory last week, more practicals this week. Come see, you'll be glad you did! :) twitch.tv/ic_null or youtube.com/@blindlyCoding, pick your poison :) #selfPromo #hacking #cybersecurity #allThatJazz :P

I can already announce that next IC_Null stream, this tuesday at 3 PM EST, is about the #accessibility of notebooks like #Jupyter, #googleColab, the #VSCode implementation of this concept. If you do #dataScience, #machineLearning, even the polarizing #AI stuff, you are going to run into this at some point. Can a #screenReader user use these properly? Where's the #accessibility hurdles? Do any of these work better than the others? These are all things I'll try to go into.
See you Tuesday, 3 PM ESt over at https;//twitch.tv/ic_null or youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #selfPromo

So... I made noise on their official discussion spot. That means I'm locked in. uh oh :P discourse.jupyter.org/t/stream… :P #dataScience #AI #MachineLearning #jupyter #notebooks #Python #programming #selfPromo #twitch

Ahright, Patch tuesday be upon us so the final IC_Null stream for the week is upon us. Let's run down the remaining part of the web portion of the #thm Jr Pentester path so we're all good to go for the #burpsuite deep-dive next week. I can already say, that dive will be gory indeed :) You all know the drill by now, #accessibility as in how do these #thm rooms work when all you have to parse them is a #screenReader. Relatively smooth sailing so far, when do we run ashore and how do we sail on? COme see :) See you at 3 EST at twitch.tv/ic_null or youtube.com/@blindlycoding, pick your poison :) #twitch #youtube #streamer #selfPromo

It's Patch Tuesday. Good time to check your updates are up to date! But also it's time for another IC_Null stream today at 3 PM Eastern/9 PM CEST. More of #tryHackMe's Junior #penTesting path today, we zapped past most of the theory-only stuff last week and this week will be all about #webHacking. Prospective #bugBounty hunters curious about accessibility, this is the one to join. See you then at twitch.tv/ic_null #twitch #selfPromo #infoSec #goingLive

Just gearing up, and OMG THE VPN WORKS! We're starting back up with an ic_null stream, more #tryHackMe with a #screenReader, significantly more smooth than last week and hey, I'll even archive it this time Come hang out while we hack the system over at twitch.tv/ic_null #blind #twitch #accessibility #goingLive #selfPromo #toomanyHashtags

Yesterday's stream was archived here: youtube.com/watch?v=34-uebClUq…
Little high on theory but we did get to do some proper hollywood hacking. More next week! :) #selfPromo #acccessibility #infoSec #cybersecurity

OK :) Next IC_Null #twitch stream will at 3 PM eastern on #patchTuesday. VPn issues were sorted (obviously the cuplrit was #windows) so we can start the #tryHackMe content off good and proper this time. Expect #linux #accessibility, #screenReader black magic and other such rantings tomorrow at twitch.tv/ic_null #selfPromo #streamer #areHashtagsEvenStillCool?

Just a reminder, we're blasting off at 3 PM eastern today at twitch.tv/IC_null. Be there or 🐝🟥 :) Cookie for anyone who catches why what I just did is an #accessibility blunder. Today on the Docket; #tryHackMe's #accessibility, as well as whatever tools we encounter along the way. See you there :) #twitch #streamer #AMA #selfPromo #goingLive

We got up to 71 followers in not even a day. That is honestly meteoric.
Tomorrow at 3 PM EST I'll do a first #stream. We'll make us a #TryHackMe account, go through the new user flow, maybe do a room or two while looking at the various #accessibility gotchas we run into. In future streams we'll do similar for HTB, HTBA etc. as well as more #programming related things but tomorrow ...we leave pallet town all mozie-like. See you all then! #twitch #infoSec #selfPromo

So ...let's face it. A LOT of folks in tech circles are somewhat amazed a fully #blind person can even find the power button on a computer, let alone operate it professionally. I am such a person, and I'd like to bust that myth.
It's also true that many #hacking tools, platforms, courses etc. could use some help in the #accessibility department. It's a neverending vicious circle.
Enter my new twitch channel, IC_null. On this channel, I will be streaming #programming and #hacking content including THM, HTB and who knows what else, from the perspective of a #screenReader user.
What I need, is an audience. If this is something you reckon you or anybody you know might be interested in, drop the channel a follow or share this post. Gimme that #infoSec Mastodon sense of comradery and help me out to make this idea an actual thing :) twitch.tv/ic_null #tryHackMe #streamer #selfPromo
