I have bin spending time with my 5 kids. We have bin in the yard planting veggys and doing some cooking. It's good but hard to keep your mind of things.

tapper··on TinyWall – A free, lightweight and non-intrusive firewall
it works very well with screen readers. Lots of firewalls and malware programs don't witch screws over blind people who want to stay safe on there computers. I use it on windows 10 with NVDA.
tapper··on Flash All the Things LEDE 17.01.1 – First Service Release
The LEDE Project (“Linux Embedded Development Environment”) is a Linux operating system emerged from the OpenWrt project. It is a complete replacement for the vendor-supplied firmware of a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices.
tapper··on What programming language should I learn to develop accessibility software?
Hi a screen reader for windows called NVDA is written in python.http://www.nvaccess.org/It's open sorse, if you wanted to look at some of the code you can. What about a11y soft wair intrests you? I am blind so i just know about screen readers but the a11y field is broad!
tapper··on Ask HN: Thoughts and experiences on third party router firmware?
Yeah it can still be a pane with some routers. TP-Link are constantly making very small upgrades to routers and making a v1 v2 pissing people off lol The werst thing is wen they make a v1 and then a v2 with a completely different chip set.
tapper··on Ask HN: Thoughts and experiences on third party router firmware?
Cool I did think about getting a small form factor PC to run OPNsense, but a verry nice man of the Gargoyle forums posted me the WRT1900 AC v2 which has a 1.6 ghz duel core CPU and i don't host any thing. For what i use it for it does just fine. One of the things that keeps me with Gargoyle is it works grate with a screen reader which i have to use as i am blind. I can use ddwrt and openwrtI just like the lay out of Gargoyle better.
