🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comOPMto Blind Main@rblind.com•My Accessible Self-hosting Tech StackEnglish1·2 months agoIt pretty much depends on Debian. You could also run cosmos itself in a docker if you wanted.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the point of the Nicole spam?English221·4 months agoI wish I knew. I followed the link to the Matrix community, and it was just confused people and trolling NAZI’s. No Nicole, no attempt at catfishing.
Thunder, because it works best with accessibility features like VoiceOver and TalkBack: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
Also serverica for hosting.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you know of a DRM-free music app with an algorithm?English1·5 months agoPersonally, I’d like an open API so I could use it with foobar2000. Not OP but I long for the same thing. I’ve done it, and managing, storing, backing up, my music library costs more than Spotify. And assuming you don’t just pirate everything, add the cost of purchasing albums on top of that. And my time is worth minimum wage at least. I would happily pay someone to just handle this stuff.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Canada@lemmy.ca•"Yankee, Go Home!" - Canadian Anti-Trump SongEnglish7·5 months agoThis feels AI generated. Especially when combined with the generic video description. riffusion probably.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google SearchEnglish13·6 months agoTime for Kagi?
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Is microblogging federation broken right now?English1·6 months agoThis has been broken for us on the entire 0.9 series. It works with iceshrimp, go to social, etc. just not mastodon. I think it has something to do with authorized fetch and signatures. But I haven’t tried to track it down as the way lemmy formats posts from mastodon was super ugly anyway.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•RBlind has released open-source custom dark and light themes for Lemmy: feel free to make use of them on your own instancesEnglish6·6 months agoIf you’re comfortable with using codeberg, yes, that’s the best place. Otherwise you can post in the comments of the original thread, complete the survey, or use github issues (if you must).
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•RBlind has released open-source custom dark and light themes for Lemmy: feel free to make use of them on your own instancesEnglish8·6 months agoSadly I don’t have an einc device. But if someone does, we’d be happy to accept feedback and include some images.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the deal with hexbear.net usersEnglish218·7 months agoOr they live in a country where genocide denial is legal. I live in Canada and my server is in Canada. I’m not willing to take the risk so my users can interact with assholes.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the deal with hexbear.net usersEnglish7920·7 months agoAll responsible server admins have them defederated. Hate speech and genocide denial, that is almost certainly against the law in Canada, Germany, and other places. We defederated lemmygrad for the same reason.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•Reclaim the internet: Mozilla’s rebrand for the next era of techEnglish14·7 months agoSo does Reclaim The Internet still involve purchasing an advertising company, letting multiple employees go, and generally behaving like a VC-backed startup? Just checking!
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Piracy and accessibility?English5·7 months agoWhen watching a movie or tv show by ourselves, blind people can’t see the picture. So unless we are watching with a sighted friend, we would rather save on storage and bandwidth by only downloading the audio.
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦@rblind.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Piracy and accessibility?English11·7 months agoAudiovault.net is the website you want. Made by and for blind folks, it has thousands of AD tracks in mp3 format. You should be able to just sync them with the video. Though blind folks never bother; we only care about audio anyway.
It never went down here in Ottawa for me. Based on the tiny sample size of my circle of friends, everyone using the gigahub for PPPOE login went down, and everyone using PPPOE passthrough did not. So I think it’s something to do with the ISP provided router. Pushed bad firmware to everyone maybe?
