  1. The video call I'm in now has two ASL interpreters (they take turns - it's hard work!)

    What an amazing skill real-time translation is! To hear and also speak all at once - phew!

  9. 🎙️ 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: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/
    👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/4jfreP6I

    Also coming soon to Amazon & YouTube!

    If you use Overcast, Castro, Pocketcasts or similar apps, you can paste in the Apple Podcasts link directly.

    💬 Got tech questions or topic suggestions? We'd love to hear from you!

  10. 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. ynab.com/our-free-34-day-trial

  14. Thank you to everyone who answered my Mac word processor questions, and to the tech wiz WhatsApp group for being so helpful. I’ve decided on Pages. It is accessible, easy to use, and works well with my Word documents. Motivation was hard today. I am still sick with this sinus infection that refuses to let go. Lack of sleep and feeling unwell have made it tough. #Blind #VoiceOver #Mac #AccessibleTech #SinusInfection

  21. I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

    Hardware & OS

    Infrastructure & Networking

    Security & Monitoring

    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

    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?
