That is why I forbade my children from attending concerts featuring loud music. Though they don't exploit their hearing as much as do we who are totally blind, I felt all senses ought to be preserved and protected as much as was at all possible. As we each do all we can to protect our health. That we might lengthen and preserve the quality of our individual lives. Rush Limbaugh is an example of how well challenges can be overcome with modern technology. But, regardless its advancement, it can never compare with the job our natural sensesdo for us. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Granados" <scott@granados-llc.net> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] headphones (was: teraterm)
What?
Speak louder!
:)
So that’s funny but we are very similar on this front. However, I definitely have lost hearing a lot of hearing at that. Lots of loud music, loud audio and for extended periods of time, probably 16+ hours per day for what 30 years or so? I was in the music game before network engineering and really blew out a lot of my hearing then mixing live shows and working in the studio. As you know your ears lose sensitivity over time so after say a 20 hour recording session you would find that you start the day at a nice low sound pressure level and by the end of the day you could drown out jet engines.:)
I do the same thing though now. I don’t like wearing a headset on both ears in the office because I can’t hear people walking up on me or standing outside my cube. I leave the cans on over my left ear and leave the right ear open to hear the environment around me.
You’re smart though being careful with your hearing. I was definitely the opposite of that and while I don’t regret a thing about it I know I have damaged my hearing pretty significantly.
Broadcasters run in to this a lot. Rush Limbaugh has an implant to restore his hearing from what I remember and it’s attributed to wearing headphones for an extended period at elevated levels.

I'd prefer not to wear headphones because I figure that can't be good for your hearing. I know there are studies that show that listening to loud music with headphones damages your hearing. I am unaware of any studies that show that listening to speech at a normal level damages your hearing. But why take the chance?
Having said that though, I am wearing a headset right now. I don't want my co-workers listening over my shoulder as it were. I know they'd prefer not to listen but I figure sometimes they can't help it. It's not just that I don't want them knowing my business. I'm not going to listen to porn or anything. But if I'm struggling with something, I don't want them over hearing.
I've compromised on wearing my headset over just one ear. I always use my left ear so if I lose hearing in that ear, it will probably be because of the headset.

That would be a fine thing if someone compromised a machine because they over heard a password on a screen reader. Wow! Imagine that one. I’ve never thought about it much but that’s a pretty big risk. I always use headphones which is probably why I never thought about it but if someone really wanted to they could probably pick up the signal from my cans.
Well

I have OpensSH installed on a Windows box at work and that works fine for connecting to other machines.
I use a 'config' file in my user's '.ssh' directory for managing keys etc.
I think iti came with GitBash, but you might well be able to get it via Chocolaty, if you kike that sort of package manager, or just download it from the net.
I used to use Putty for connecting in when working at home, but I found it a lot of faff. Give me a nice config file any day :)
Hope this helps, Jen!

Emphasis on the simple--they don't provide the insert-q info.
If you press ctrl-shft-r, they should toggle between reading and ignoring incoming text.
The scripts are named "ssh" because that is what JFW is expecting for this program.
