Wrote a somewhat lengthy piece on the (non-computer, non-camera) tools I use daily and that I consider not garbage, a category that is disappearing faster than insects in mainland Europe

The thing about blogs: If it looks modern with a short URL and has tons of cookie popups and self-promo, stay away. If it looks like a plain HTML page with some basic CSS, found at a long URL at the bottom of your search result, it's probably trustworthy and written by a passionate self-hosting human being.
Basically, the more it looks like motherfuckingwebsite.com, the higher the quality of the material you're about to read.
An early In-Process this time, since we're heading off to CSUN this weekend! So this time around; - CSUN 2025 - Update on NVDA 2025.1 - Harun: Fast and Local in Türkiye - Thanks to Airbnb - New donor badge - Speech and Braille viewers
Hi everyone, and welcome to an early In-Process! We’re busy packing and getting ready for CSUN next week so we wanted to put out In-Process this week to keep you going until we’re back from the USA…
A (hopefully good) comparison of decentralised video sharing platforms like @loops, @peertube and @owncast to centralised platforms like Youtube and Tiktok went online yesterday.
Platforms like Loops and PeerTube offer new ways to share videos, in a world where the monopolies of YouTube and TikTok dominate video-sharing, while prioritizing user control, privacy, and federation.
Welcome to another In-Process, whether you are reading on the web, or via email. This time around we cover: NVDA 2025.1 Planning for CSUN What’s on the web Reading paragraphs in Braille NVDA 2025.1…
today is officially *THREE* weeks until the submission deadline for Good Internet magazine!

And as @adamconover eloquently explains, the “manly” antics of the tech bro oligarch class really aren't fooling anyone.
Performative masculinity—particularly its extreme form of fragile masculinity which inevitably leads to toxic masculinity—is tearing my country apart right now. Clearly we must to find healthier ways to reach and help young men.
At the same time…I kinda just want to deconstruct gender entirely? 😅

The CLI struggle is real Command-line tools are meant to simplify infrastructure and DevOps workflows, but the reality is often the opposite. Instead of speeding things up, the vast array of commands, flags, and syntax turns the CLI into a puzzle.
My GoToSocial instance has been running for more than a month now, and so I gathered the different bits and pieces of my experience running it, and made them into a blog post. I talk about resources usage, monitoring and backups.
Also, sharing the link on this fedi account running on the mentioned GTS instance is an experiment in itself, to see how my server will handle the traffic

Jeseň ubehla rýchlejšie než som plánoval, ale to nie je to podstatné, čo som chcel povedať. Dosť som totiž uvažoval, ako poňať pokračovanie môjho predchádzajúceho blogu, a teda ako by mala vyzerať lekcia 2. Nakoniec som sa rozhodol nenosiť drevo do lesa a prichádzam iba s prekladom článku z eff.org - How to: Understand and Circumvent Network Censorship licencovaného pod otvorenou licenciou CC-BY takže to čo teraz budete čítať, nie je moje dielo, iba môj pokus o preklad.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of provisioning and managing your computing infrastructure using code, rather than manual processes and settings.

Over the last 20+ years, commercially available compute virtualization solutions such as VMware have become powerful tools used to lower costs, improve efficiency, ease management tasks, and improve on-premises flexibility.
Whether you choose to operate entirely on AWS or in multicloud and hybrid environments, one of the primary reasons to adopt AWS is the broad choice of services we offer, enabling you to explore, build, deploy, and monitor your workloads.
'It is fine not to like a piece of Free software' and other oft-unstated FOSS-related freedoms
“Free software”, according to the FSF’s definition, embodies four freedoms.
There are plenty more than that - or, at least, many freedoms which are inherent in, or arise from, those four freedoms - most of which go unstated most of the time.
This is far from a complete list, but rather my jottings based on ponderings and observations from the last few days, across a couple of different (intentionally unstated / unlinked here) things.
In-Process is out, featuring the results of our braille survey, Elston Changemakers event, the 2024.4 Release Candidate, an NV Access All-Hands, and using Data Validation in Excel.

What happens when your finances are controled by the one you're supposed to trust most? What happens when you're told to keep up appearances to family and friends when all you really want to do is confess? What happens when walls get built and secrets are all you dabble in?

Businesses that use data lakes, machine learning (ML), and analytics need scalable data storage. However, not all stored data is accessed equally. Some portions of data may be accessed often, while whereas other portions of data are rarely accessed.
In this post, we explore a sample solution that you can use to deploy an image editing application by using AWS serverless services and generative AI services.
Point-in-time ‘snapshots’ enable administrators, developers, testers, and end users to quickly access a storage volume or share how it was at an earlier point-in-time.
Enterprises use block storage such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for mission-critical workloads because it provides high performance, low latency, and reliable data access needed for demanding applications like databases, ERP systems, an…
Für #Publii gibts schon ne Weile ein größeres update. Hatte gezögert, weil ich keine Energie für eventuelle breaking changes hatte, aber es scheint probelmlos geklappt zu haben.
