Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access
by Andrew Hodgson 30 Apr '23

Hi all, I have a new flat and with it comes a 1GBPs Ethernet connection as part of the building service. The router they have given me is causing me a lot of issues so I want to upgrade it. I have been looking at different models and I have discount a lot due to the 1GBPs connection. I have a Sophos router from a previous job, but it doesn't support IPV6. At this point I am looking at potentially going with a Synology router, the Unifi kit or a PFSense build. has anyone used any of this and can comment on the usability with JFW? i know the Synology will be pritty much the same as the NAS, though they don't have a demo site for the router. I am going to check out the Ubiquiti demo site next but I know people on this list were using it. Thanks. Andrew.

OT: Braille for IT?
by John G. Heim 19 Feb '22

I am working on a program that takes a string of text and generates a 3D printer file that prints the text in braille. I'm using liblouis to generate the ASCII braille and it generated, ",,x" for the string "IT". Like in the title, "IT Manager", it made the IT be a double capital sign and then the letter x. Yes, an x all by itself is the word "it". But is that shortcut legitimate braille for an acronym? If I was doing it by hand, I'd have done the double cap sign and then the letters i and t. PS: As a proof of concept, I'm trying to make a plaque for my manager's office door, if I can. I thought she'd get a kick out of it. -- ### John G. Heim, 608-263-4189, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu

Hello everyone: In the duo mobile admin panel when a user has multiple phones listed you can move the one they want to use to the top of the list. Is there a way to do this with a screen reader? The only way I found is to do it with the mouse. Please let me know if there is an accessible way to perform this task. Thanks, Kathryn
