The most popular curl download – by a malware
During October 2015 the curl web site sent out 1127 gigabytes of data. This was the first time we crossed the terabyte limit within a single month.daniel.haxx.se

After exploring #R2E, I've decided it might not be the best fit for my needs. Here's why:
1. R2E doesn't support #Inoreader's #OPML format, requiring manual feed addition.
2. I realized I have many feeds and need a more comprehensive solution.
I'm now considering #Miniflux, which can manage #RSS feeds, #Podcasts, and #YouTube subscriptions in one place.
Until I get my #RaspberryPi for Christmas, I'm weighing two options:
1. Self-host Miniflux on my #Windows PC using #Docker
2. Use their $15/year hosted plan temporarily
Fellow #techies, especially those interested in #accessibility and #SelfHosting: What would you recommend? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

I'm curious to hear from fellow blind users about your favorite accessible Windows apps! I just reinstalled Windows and would love some recommendations. What apps do you find essential for daily tasks, productivity, or just for fun? Please share your favorites! #Blind #VisuallyImpaired #Accessibility #WindowsApps #AssistiveTechnology #Windows
Wer sich den kostenlosen Screenreader NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) installiert, wird mit der freien Sprachausgabe eSpeak oder den Windows-stimmen leben müssen. Diese sind brauchbar, für längeres Arbeiten allerdings eher weniger geeignet. Sie sind zwar tief in Windows integriert...

Hey fellow #BlindMastodon users! I'm looking for recommendations on two types of writing tools for Windows:
1. Accessible text expanders
2. Word prediction software
I use both #JAWS and #NVDA screen readers. I tried Espanso (an open-source text expander), but it didn't work well with NVDA. I also tested Lightkey for word prediction, but it didn't seem accessible.
As an #ActuallyAutistic person, word prediction would really help with my autism-related communication challenges.
Have you found any text expanders or word prediction tools that work well with screen readers? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your recommendations and thoughts!

Disabling #Windows #AI features organization-wide using #GroupPolicy.
This will turn off #Recall (the periodic screenshot service) and #Copilot (the AI assistant service).
1. Download and install the Windows 11 24H2 administrative template files: microsoft.com/en-us/download/d…
2. Add the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 Sep 2024 Update (24H2)\PolicyDefinitions to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions on the domain controller.
3. Start Group Policy Management on the domain controller.
4. Create a group policy object with these values:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Turn off Saving Snapshots for Windows = enabled
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot = enabled
5. Link the group policy object in at an appropriate level in your domain.

Huge props to the #NVDAsr team for recognizing this and taking the steps to make #Braille a priority. Will be filling out their survey and hope other #Windows #ScreenReader users will do the same.

No, this is no a new CAPTCHA, this is a new malware vector which tricks users to open #Windows command line and paste a command to download some harmful stuff.

I mean, it's crazy! What are you *working* on, you piece of… software? Is it a huge task to move me from one folder to another? Are you carrying me manually on your shoulders to that folder or what? It always used to be a super fast thing to do! I mean… O tempora, o mores.
option CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE doesn't work with new version · Issue #14368 · curl/curl
I did this I use curl to request to a php web api. The PHP server will take a long time to answer the request ,like 600 seconds.So,I need to keep alive to wait the reply. Old version 7.65.3 works w...GitHub
turns out #Windows is slow to fail connect attempts to non-listening ports entirely on purpose because it waits and resends the SYN several times, contrary to how other TCP stacks behave.
#WhatsApp for #Windows lets Python, PHP scripts execute with no warning
Granted, Python needs to be installed on the system prior.
Meta says they will not bother to fix this, despite maintaining a built-in list of potentially dangerous file types (ex: .exe)
No, Southwest Airlines is not still using Windows 3.1
A story that's been persistently making the rounds since the CrowdStrike event is that while several airline companies were affected in one way or another, Southwest Airlines escaped the mayhem because they were still using windows 3.1. It's a great story that fits the current zeitgeist about technology and its role in society, un

Random #Windows tip of the day
What to do if the text on your screen is too small? 👀
Well, there are a few options
If everything is a little small, you might consider changing your scaling in Display Settings
If just one random thing is too small, even if that app doesn't have zoom, you can always pull up Magnifier with WIN + Plus to zoom in (WIN + Minus to zoom out, WIN + Esc to close)
If text in general across Windows is too small, then check out the text size option under Accessibility

#Windows 11 is now automatically enabling #OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
"Quietly and without any announcement, the company [#Microsoft] changed Windows 11's initial setup so that it could turn on the automatic folder backup without asking for it."
Imagine your operating system forcing all your desktop files to sync to the cloud, without letting you know it would do that. Users should be aware of when their files are synced to any cloud.
Oh wait, I forgot... Microsoft has zero regard for user choice, #privacy, and #security.

Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.Taras Buria (Neowin)
