Loading a javascript module
by John G Heim 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Can you load a javascript module in a script embedded in a web page? If so how? I am trying to write a web page to display values in a yaml data file. I want to read this yaml data, parse it, and display the values. I found there is a javascript module available to do that. I installed it on my linux machine with the command 'apt-get install node-js-yaml'. The examples that come with the code don't work when embedded in a script on a web page. The line where it fails looks like this: var yaml = require('js-yaml'); I have been googling all day but all I can find are more examples that do not appear to be embedded in a web page. -- John G.

Terminal improvements are coming to NVDA 2019.3!
by Bill Dengler 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Hello, I’ve been working as a Google Summer of Code student with NV Access over the past couple of months. My project <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5317267756154880/> involves improving NVDA performance and stability in the Windows Console used by Command Prompt, PowerShell, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 version 1803 and later. The new console support is set to ship as part of NVDA 2019.3, to be released later this year. In the mean time, I’d greatly appreciate your testing of, and feedback from, the latest master (alpha) snapshots, which can be found on this page <http://nvda-project.org/snapshots>. A limited version of the new support will also ship in 2019.2 within the next few weeks behind a feature flag. Thanks in advance for testing, and be sure to let me know what you think! Bill

setting up 2fa?
by David Mehler 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Hello, To those of you who use 2fa on your accounts how did you get it set up? Most setups I've read about seem to indicate that you have to scan a qr code which periodically changes so your second factor can generate a one-time use key, problem with me is my computer has no monitor attached, I've got it running headless. I'd like to secure all services that I've got with 2fa, is this doable without a monitor? Services include: ebay yahoo amazon audible linux/bsd secure shell access linux roundcube webmail Thanks for any pointers. Thanks. Dave.

Verizon phishing emails, 2fa securing?
by David Mehler 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Hello, I've got some people who have verizon email addresses and they keep getting what I know to be fake/phishing verizon emails. They're getting a little peranoid and doing password change isn't calming them even though they do it everytime. Is there a way to tighten up verizon's email access on their side, maybe 2fa? I'm assuming they're accessing either via phone (it would be an iPhone if it is) or pc browser webmail access. Thanks. Dave.

the ultimate terminal experience
by Ryan Shugart 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello everyone: I wanted to throw a question out to everyone. As we are working with the new Windows Terminal product to insure it is accessible and works well with assistive technologies, I wanted to reach out to this list and find out what would be the ideal terminal experience for you? What would you be looking for and want in a new terminal program from an accessibility standpoint, something that would set it aside from the rest and really make it an enjoyable experience to use, not just something you can use? I'm definitely going to bring the feedback to the Windows Terminal team, and while I can't guarantee it will all be acted on, it will certainly help set a direction and way to move forward. Thanks much. Ryan Ryan Shugart Program Manager II, Cloud+AI Accessibility Microsoft Corporation 425-705-1262

YAML files for netplan. What's the format?
by Chris Turner 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi all. SO just upgraded a couple ubuntu systems to 18.4. Apparently we're now using netplan instead of /etc/network/interfaces. I don't understand the format of the .yaml configuration file that netplan uses though. That is, I don't understand how the indentations work. Anyone using it? Tried with no indentation and it complains about a missing ":" when I seem to have them all. The example seems to be indented but I wasn't sure if this was just for presentation. SO I tried: First line network: At the margin and the subsequent lines spaced in by 2 spaces. It doesn't seem to like this either and I can't get a sense of how the lines are arranged on the ubuntu server user guide. I am using jaws on windows btw. Any tips welcome. One other thing, it seems you can't add post-up run_this_script type lines to the config file either. Which is a pita. I prefer the old way as I had my firewall script run after the interface came up. Cheers. Chris Turner
