I won’t pretend that the Sourcehut accessibility situation ideal, but it’s usable for the most part with assistive technologies IME. From what I can tell, it doesn’t have critical issues like hidden/un-focusable items, interactive widgets that don’t change states, keyboard traps, etc. The only other forge that generally passes that is GitHub. Core functionality all works, but ancillary functionality and quality-of-life could use some sign..

Balancing the needs of many users is hard. The gift of having a quirky setup is it improves inclusivity by default. In addition to using mainstream browsers with and without screen readers, I browse through other means: I often read by piping Readability output (using rdrview ) through a textual browser, using non-mainstream browser engines (e.g. NetSurf), using a textual feed reader with a bespoke markup renderer (Newsboat), and using the..

I’m deeply skeptical of most things happening in the tech sphere at the moment - but I am very excited for these recent, rapid developments in art generating neural networks. Being able to iterate an idea to drawing instantly is going to allow people to create wonderful things.

I might drop GitHub mirrors for new projects, but I worry that this could disproportionately cause friction among disabled users. The main reason I currently mirror to GitHub is accessibility. The only other forge I know of that’s usable with assistive technologies is Sourcehut, my primary forge. Many feel uncomfortable with Sourcehut’s style of contribution and the other FOSS forges are severely lacking, so that leaves GitHub. GitLab r....

Create Dynamic Views with jOOQ 3.17’s new Virtual Client Side Computed Columns

One of jOOQ 3.17‘s coolest new features are client side computed columns. jOOQ 3.16 already added support for server side computed columns, which many of you appreciate for various reasons. What’s a computed column? A computed column is a column that is derived (“computed”) from an expression. It cannot be written to. It works like … Continue reading Create Dynamic Views with jOOQ 3.17’s new Virtual Client Side Computed Columns →

I am not, alas, a compiled languages guy. I do find Rust absolutely fascinating because by inverting the common assumptions, a whole class of software errors are being avoided. Given that we live in a constant shite show of software quality, any engineering practices that generate better code are highly desirable . Discovering testing and pair programming for me was I suspect as life changing as Rust feels to a C programmer. Even thou....

Would love to see something that conforms properly to the WAI Authoring practices and supports microformats2. That could combine well with a stylesheet that doesn’t use any custom classes, just microformats classes and role attribute selectors. My current site doesn’t actually use any classes in the CSS apart from image-rendering utility classes; I use POSH, ARIA and microformats selectors for everything else. The great thing about a pu..

It is always tempting when buying or designing things to plan for the future; to add features that make your design or purchase “future proof”.

We have a Sony Bravia television connected to a Sonos Beam which in turn is linked to a couple of Sonos Ones. They have been working fine for quite a while but suddenly lost sound.

I have the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones. They’re good for consuming content. Audio calls with your colleagues? Forget about it. Thanks, Bluetooth. #notsponsored by Värska, it's just very hot right now. This is the setup I have to go with, and it has all to do with how Bluetooth works. Your options with Bluetooth headsets are the following: high quality sound output, no audio input low quality sound output, low quality audio inp....

W.G. Sebald is widely considered among the best modern German authors, so I approached this book with curiosity and high expectations. The Rings of Saturn records the author’s walking tour along the East Coast of England. As W.G. Sebald resides in the intellectual world, his tour naturally brings up literary, cultural or historical reminiscences. An astute Goodreads reviewer noted that Britain’s decline’s eccentric and grotesque aspects..

The core elements of a people-focused (as opposed to a community-focused) social network are subscribing to people for content and interacting with their content. Atom (and RSS) feeds already provide “subscription” functionality; what if we went further? Atom feeds can serve as the foundation for distributed social media. The OStatus protocol suite describes how Salmon, ActivityStreams, and threading extensions can turn an Atom feed int....

In one of the previous posts, I described the idea of the middle non-zero quantile absolute deviation. It’s defined as follows: $$ \operatorname{MNZQAD}(x, p) = \operatorname{QAD}(x, p, q_m), $$$$ q_m = \frac{q_0 + 1}{2}, \quad q_0 = \frac{\max(k - 1, 0)}{n - 1}, \quad k = \sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{1}_{Q(x, p)}(x_i), $$ where $\mathbf{1}$ is the indicator function $$ \mathbf{1}_U(u) = \begin{cases} 1 & \textrm{if}\quad u = U,\\ 0 & \textrm{i..

I don’t know how I found this app but now I have to say that it saved me a lot of time and complications: ServerCat It’s a simply – but powerful – app to monitor the status of your servers and even run commands on them, also the same command to multiple servers. It also has a cloud sync feature and it runs on macOS, iOS and iPadOS (thanks to Catalyst) and a funny name that I think is due to use the ‘cat’ command to get the server detail..

Betterscaling was designed and implemented by Phil Frost. Phil was an exceptional engineer and a brilliant person, and he is dearly missed by all of us at Remind who knew him. I had the privilege of interviewing Phil extensively about Betterscaling over the course of writing this article — much of it is in his own words. I hope that it will serve in some small way to reflect his expertise and dedication to his craft, and to stand as a tri....

Many users who need a significant degree of privacy will also be excluded, as JavaScript is a major fingerprinting vector. Users of the Tor Browser are encouraged to stick to the “Safest” security level. That security level disables dangerous features such as: Just-in-time compilation JavaScript SVG MathML Graphite font rendering automatic media playback Even if it were purely a choice in user hands, I’d still feel inclined to respect i....

Often times I find a interesting or useful project on Github that is abandoned and has some issues. Then I hope that someone already forked the repository and continued working on it. To find a fresh fork, I had to go to the Insights-tab in the repository, click on “Forks” and then look at all the listed forks to see if there is an active one. Tedious! Here are two projects that try to fix this: Fork Freshness ‘ results look nice - t....

Mullvad’s recent audit by Assured AB was a bit concerning to me. Fail2ban and user-writable scripts running as root is not the sort of thing I’d expect in a service whose only job is to provide a secure relay. Avoiding and guarding root should be Sysadmin 101 material. I recommend any amateur Linux admins read audit reports like this. While some low-priority recommendations are a but cargo-cultish, most advice is pretty solid. Frankl..
