completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

If you’re looking for a that does a good job of balancing fun slice of life with asking difficult thoughtful questions, and is actually complete, give this one a go! I binged it over the last few days. An Unbound Soul | Royal Road www.royalroad.com/fiction/38292/an-unbound-soul

@adam Huh. Might be a software issue; I’ll investigate and file a bug if so.

@adam Maybe because it’s a split domain setup and that’s confusing it? The instance lives at fed.interfree.ca, but my username is just at interfree.ca.

Taking part in several lengthy threads and watching my database memory use creep slowly up. It feels rewarding, somehow.

Looking at my jobs queue, it's amazing how many misconfigured fediverse servers are out there. And yet, the network still mostly functions.

@FreakyFwoof @cachondo I feel like I read a story like this at some point? But now I can't remember. Must mean it's ready for a reread, if I've already read it.

Came across some spam with the subject "Verified Damsels". Now I want a short story about the government department in charge of verifying and licensing damsels, and punishing the hero for rescuing an unverified and unlicensed damsel. And/or a damsel who has to rescue herself and go on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment because she can't get properly verified.

My bed has far too much gravity this morning. How do I turn down the gravity?

Oh! There's a swagger UI for the API right here, and the endpoint I want exists. I don't, in fact, need to be doing terrible things to the database. Aww.

@NVAccess Sort of, but I'm still in progress on making infrastructure changes to make sure this doesn't happen again. So there'll be more downtime related to that in a couple weeks. But it'll be hours, not days.

Thanks to a pass from @MostlyBlindGamer I can confirm that is way better than it used to be. There are still some weirdly labeled things in settings, and once you start playing a video, the only way to get the rest of the interface back is to go into picture in picture mode, but it's perfectly usable and much more than it used to be. There's also some jankyness where the play/pause buttons on my airpods don't work when the screen is locked, but that's probably just down to it being an indi app.

@lizzy But I bet you get an IPV6 address, because your ISP isn't still using PPPOE in the 21st century! PPPOE and fiber is actively the worst.

I do enjoy watching rsync move files over the internet at over 100 mb/s, and remembering when I couldn't copy files over my local network at 10 mb/s.

Does anyone have experience using on extremely large libraries? I'm meaning a couple thousand items; I've had the same audible subscription for over 18 years. I'd like to manage my library myself and use the books I "own" in apps I like better, but I'd also like not to get my Amazon account banned for downloading like a tb of audible books from them all at once.

@SRAZKVT Yup. But that would cost money! And thanks to capitalism the only thing we can spend money on are new features.
