Hey y’all. Asking for a friend here. What headphones do y’all suggest that plug into a computer via USB-A or headphone jack? Needs to have a good mic that sounds good. Looking to spend about $80 max.

🎙️ Hey everyone! Exciting news — I've just launched a brand new podcast with some brilliant people, and I'd love for you to give it a listen!
🎧 THE TECH DOC PODCAST 🎧
What's up DOC?!
Meet the power-hungry Doc. The commander Doc. Two rebel Docs constantly plotting technological mayhem. And the captain Doc desperately trying to stop it all going off the rails.
Minor detail: they're all blind or vision impaired. 👀
Once a month, Stuart, Jackie, Jade, Ken and Pat gather their collective wisdom (and questionable decision-making skills) to poke, prod, test, break, and occasionally understand the tech that's meant to make life easier.
From apps that behave… to gadgets that absolutely do not… nothing is safe.
It's tech talk. It's chaos. It's lived experience. It's TECH DOC! 🔥
📱 Episode 1: What's Up Docs? is out now!
👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-tech-docs/id1881374183
👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4jfreP6I7i2HNsg6OjRjRf?si=qRWEmWJ-QfOTkrfwZ8UTlAAlso coming soon to Amazon & YouTube!

Nothing derails a budget faster than good intentions and a forgotten spreadsheet.
As someone who’s blind and has always cared a lot about budgeting, I’ve never found spreadsheets to be a great long-term solution. I would usually start off strong, but once I was out and about, it became too easy to forget to update the sheet, and before long the whole budget would fall apart.
Having a budget is one of the most helpful things anyone can do for their finances. It gives you a clear picture of where your money is going, makes it easier to save, and helps break bad spending habits if you give it time and stick with it.
After trying a lot of tools, the one I’m genuinely grateful to have found is You Need a Budget (YNAB). It has completely changed the way we manage our money. The iPhone app is accessible, the Android app is too (as far as I know), and the browser version works fairly well—though I personally prefer the mobile app because it lets me track spending wherever I am.
You can link your bank and credit card accounts or manage everything manually if you’d rather keep it separate. If you’re looking for better money management, it’s absolutely worth a look. I’m including a link that gives you a 34-day trial. I strongly recommend using the whole month before deciding if it fits your style.
Getting started can feel a little overwhelming, but there are plenty of YouTube videos that walk you through it. For screen reader users, the concepts are easy to follow and translate well to the accessible parts of the app. I’ve even been thinking about creating a YNAB tutorial specifically for screen reader users.
I truly believe in this program, and at this point I’m confident it’s the budgeting tool I’ll be using for the long haul.
As promised, here is the link.Oh, hi! You've been invited to try YNAB! During your free month you'll gain a clearer picture of your finances so you can spend on the things that matter to you. Ready to (dare we say) love your spending? Tap the link to get started. https://www.ynab.com/our-free-34-day-trial/?utm_source=customer_referral&utm_campaign=mobile_share

Our CEO Troy Otillio is on the ground in São Paulo this week for the World Blindness Summit & WBU General Assembly. The theme says it all: “A fragile world, an unbreakable movement—together towards inclusion.” 🌎✈️
The event spans a Technical-Scientific Congress, an Assistive Technology Fair, Poster Exhibitions, and the WBU General Assembly, with multilingual access and on-site accessibility measures throughout. As a leader in accessible technology solutions, we’ll be working to connect with key organizations and agencies advocating for accessibility, strengthen global access and partnerships, and help shape perspectives on what is possible in assistive technology today.
Stay tuned for updates on the excitement, speakers, presentations, and more!

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Hardware & OS
- Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
- OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech
Infrastructure & Networking
- Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
- Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
- DNS: #Cloudflare
- Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
- Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity
Security & Monitoring
- Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
- Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
- Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
- Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
- Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools
Authentication & Identity Management
- Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
- LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
#AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement
Productivity & Personal Tools
- Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
- Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
- Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
- Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
- Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
- Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
- Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! 🍳📖 #CookingApps
- RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
- Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
- Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
- File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
- Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
- IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
- Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater
Notifications & Development Workflow
- Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
- Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote
Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?
