Low Vision SysAdmin Setup
by Bekki . 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi - My Dad is a sysadmin and recently diagnosed with macular degeneration. I was wondering if anyone could share helpful info about setting up a workspace specifically for low vision users (with central vision loss), best software to use, any particular glasses or other solutions that may help. Particularly with day to day tasks such as having to RDP into and maintain remote servers, reading + answering emails, etc. Curious also - has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with using the Microsoft HoloLens or Samsung Odyssey as far as aiding with vision and working on remote systems, etc? Thanks!

letsencrypt with acme.sh
by David Mehler 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hello, Do we have anyone using acme.sh to issue letsencrypt wildcard certificates? If so, I'm wondering which one of these commands is right? The first is: acme.sh --issue --dns dns_api -d example.com -d '*.example.com' --ecc --keylength ec-256 --ocsp this seems like it's asking for a tld and then the same domain with a wildcard. Or is this one right? acme.sh --issue --dns dns_api -d '*.example.com' --ecc --keylength ec-256 --ocsp Thanks. Dave.

I haven’t DDWRT, but it might be possible to add a second IP address to the Rueter in the range the printer is in. Alias IP address. I seem to remember doing this using the command line IP addr add command. used Cheers Chris Turner Sent from mobile. > On 28 Jul 2018, at 11:41, Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> wrote: > > Hi, > > You may be able to do something with Arp on the clients but why on earth do you not want to change the printer's IP address?

networking, static printer, subnets, bridging, ddwrt
by David Mehler 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Hello, I've factory reset my ddwrt router and configured it per request on a non-1 subnet specifically 192.168.200.0/24. In doing so I neglected to remember that my printer does not get it's IP via dhcp nor a dhcp reservation, it's statically assigned in this case my old subnet configuration of 192.168.1.200. My question is can I via a bridge or a vlan, set up ddwrt so that anyone on 200.0/24 can see the printer and when jobs are sent to it they go to that bridge/vlan and arrive at the printer for printing. Changing the printer interface is preferably not possible. Thanks. Dave.

ddwrt, shortcut forwarding engine, and bluetooth coexistence mode?
by David Mehler 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Hello, To any users of dd-wrt v24 3.x recent builds. I've got two options i'm not sure of and searching makes me more confused. The first, which is enabled is shortcut forwarding engine. The second which is disabled for both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks is bluetooth coexistence. Impressions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Accessible voice and text chat clients/systems
by Bill Dengler 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hello, This might not be the right list for this sort of thing, but I figured it’d be worth a shot. With Skype’s accessibility degrading on Windows and virtually disappearing on the Mac after recent updates, I’m looking for alternatives. I’m looking for a service (or collection of services used together) for realtime voice and text chat. The services must have accessible, native (i.e. not a web view) apps on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. I am willing to consider an app with a web view if accessibility is excellent. Incoming text chat messages must be automatically read aloud for JAWS users. The following features are nice to have, in rough order of most to least important, but are not required: 1. Automatic reading of incoming text chat messages for NVDA, VoiceOver users. 2. End-to-end encryption. 3. Use of the Opus codec (or something similar) allowing for high, yet stable audio quality depending on network conditions. 4. Conference/group chat support. 5. Based on open standards (or has a public API), so if the app breaks we can find/write another. A few options I thought of: faceTime/iMessage: doesn’t work for Windows/Android/non-Apple users. Whatsapp/Signal/Slack: desktop apps are web based Discord: desktop app is web based, reports of inaccessibility on mobile Telegram: accessibility on mobile is hit and miss Google Duo/Alo: no desktop apps at all Running my own XMPP/SIP server: no XMPP clients that I know of autoread for JAWS, I am responsible for running my own servers (not in itself a bad thing but makes it harder to communicate with those not connected to my server), difficult to use for nontechnical users. Twiter direct messages: will not be realtime after streaming API is shut down, no solution for voice chat. Any ideas on other services I can investigate? Thanks in advance, Bill
