superkuh: wait you never use TLS? |
|
15:20
🔗
|
superkuh |
f_, depends what you mean. The cyphers on this old machine don't overlap with modern TLS options so for IRC from it I am a bit limited. |
|
15:20
🔗
|
superkuh |
But I have plenty of newer machines in the shared mouse/keyboard span for things that do require CA TLS. |
|

🔗
|
f_ |
superkuh: have you tried upgrading it? |
|
15:21
🔗
|
f_ |
or you can't afford disconnecting for 10 minutes? :^) |
|
15:21
🔗
|
superkuh |
It would not be an upgrade to move to newer distros. |
|
15:21
🔗
|
f_ |
Depends which ;) |
|
15:22
🔗
|
superkuh |
I depend on/really like a specific set of text to speech and screen reader tools only available feasibly on older distros. |
|
15:22
🔗
|
superkuh |
I use this main machine's accessibility features to control the other machines int he span. |
|

🔗
|
f_ |
are you legally blind? |
|
15:22
🔗
|
superkuh |
No, but I am going blind progressively as my retina tear. |
|

🔗
|
superkuh |
Just had surgery on both eyes about a month ago. |
|
15:23
🔗
|
f_ |
:/ |
|
15:24
🔗
|
f_ |
what kind of surgery (if I may ask)? |
|
15:24
🔗
|
satoshi |
rare disease? |
|
15:24
🔗
|
f_ |
I guess |
|
15:25
🔗
|
f_ |
but I'm really sorry to hear that, superkuh |
|
15:25
🔗
|
satoshi |
yeah that sucks |
|
15:25
🔗
|
superkuh |
Common disease. I had tears in my retina, flaps kind of hanging off ready to detach. They used a high powered green laser to "photocouagulate" and glue the flaps back on. |
|
15:25
🔗
|
superkuh |
I guess less common at my age. |
|
15:26
🔗
|
superkuh |
But common in old people. |
|
15:26
🔗
|
superkuh |
It was a very unpleasant procedure. |
|
15:30
🔗
|
f_ |
thus why you use a screen reader |
|
15:31
🔗
|
superkuh |
To get train myself for when I lose vision more completely. |
|
15:31
🔗
|
superkuh |
-get |
|
15:32
🔗
|
f_ |
and what screen reader tools do you use? |
|
15:32
🔗
|
superkuh |
orca and festival 1.96. |
|
15:32
🔗
|
superkuh |
Festival with cmu arctic voices incompatible with festival 2 that all modern distros moved to. |
|
15:33
🔗
|
superkuh |
And modern distros are also dropping X11 support and so all acccesibility. |
|
15:33
🔗
|
superkuh |
Including the toolkits like gtk. |
|
15:34
🔗
|
superkuh |
The only wayland implementation that has any accessibility support is GNOME's and instead of continuing the last 30 years of accessibility standards they invented 2 new GNOME in-house ones. |
|
15:34
🔗
|
superkuh |
No other wayland compositor but theirs has screen reader support. |
|
15:34
🔗
|
superkuh |
And theirs does not work with 99.999% of software, only GNOME special stuff. |
|
15:35
🔗
|
f_ |
which distro do you use? |
|
15:35
🔗
|
superkuh |
A highly modified version of Ubuntu 10.04 running my own 3.x kernel and X.org stack. |
|
15:35
🔗
|
superkuh |
Er, Xorg. |
|

f_ |
Woah, that's old |
|
15:36
🔗
|
f_ |
so this must have been going for a long while |
|
15:36
🔗
|
superkuh |
Got the 10.04 repos mirrored and served on my LAN too in case canonical every drops it. |
|
15:37
🔗
|
superkuh |
And back-up hardware for all pieces for when the mobo eventually dies, etc. |
|
15:37
🔗
|
superkuh |
Hopefully I can keep this 10.04 setup going till I die. |

Something related to the squish of my eyeball causing stress due to the -11.5, -12 diopter prescription I have. My lenses are nearly 1.5cm thick on the edge. |
