I tried using pass once. I like that it follows the Unix philosophy, and I want to like it, but the fact that all of your account names are visible in the clear is a deal breaker for me.

I honestly don't know how anyone thinks terminal support in VoiceOver is acceptable--it's virtually unusable. It's so bad that I used to fire up a Windows VM just for a functioning terminal, and while I was at it, I'd browse the web and use Notepad++ there, because Windows accessibility is just better (I used NVDA). But then I discovered Fenrir, figured out that it worked with Vim (NVDA doesn't), shut down the VM, and never looked back. Today, I use Wezterm, which VoiceOver doesn't read at all. In my case, that's good, because the only thing I want talking in the terminal is my terminal screen reader (I started writing my own, and it's my daily driver).

To be fair, reading the terminal is a completely different beast from reading a GUI. In addition to building a static view of the screen for review, you have to handle dynamic updates (auto read). Cursor movement tracking, figuring out when to read what, when not to read (an f just appeared on my screen, but I just typed the letter f; if key echo is turned off, I don't want to hear "f"). If a line was just added, it should be read, but if my cursor was moved to a different line, I want to hear the line it moved to, but not if that line was just read because it just appeared. All sorts of rules you sort of discover as you go. But the one thing you definitely don't want is for any new change to interrupt what was already being read, and that's exactly what VoiceOver does.

Using VoiceOver compounds the not responding issue. I don't know how its internals work, but I imagine it tries to keep a view of the window's state--tree of elements, ETC. If the window has a lot going on, VoiceOver can get really sluggish, and I think it must somehow block the underlying app's ability to send/receive events, because you will press VO+right arrow to move to the next element, VO says "Safari/Chrome/Brave" not responding, and if you open up Force Quit, it reflects the same there. Reading a large diff on GitHub flat out doesn't work for me at all. Also, sometimes when navigating certain webpages, VoiceOver will just outright crash. Luckily, it does restart itself (not that pressing CMD+F5 is hard), but then my focus is moved to a completely different part of the page.

This seems really cool. I use Secretive and would like to switch to this native solution. The one thing holding me back is that I like that Secretive allows you to create keys that don't require TouchID, yet still notifies you when they are used.

I use an external keyboard, so reaching for the fingerprint reader isn't as easy as it would be if I just used the internal keyboard. Fine, ControlMaster is a good compromise. Except when git signing (every commit) is a requirement, you have to touch the reader every, single, time. That's fine when making routine commits, not so when rebasing. Ideally, I could tell the SecureEnclave to notify me, but don't require biometrics for the next 30 seconds or so, but since that's not a thing, that I'm aware of, I'd at least like to know when my git signing key is being used.

I know accessibility for low vision users was mentioned, but I wonder, with all these changes, whether version 4 will be accessible to screen reader users, and if so, whether any major features will nevertheless remain inaccessible.

I use a custom domain with iCloud+. That works for me because I'm very much in the Apple ecosystem, but I can easily move somewhere else whenever it's no longer the best option for me, and I did just that when I moved from Proton to iCloud. I've set this up for my wife as well. It can be as simple or as hard as you want it to be, but above all, I'd strongly encourage you to use a domain you own. Email has become our de facto identity, and we should be in control of it.

I was working on a CAA implementation and wanted to use one of my domains (at Namecheap) to test. This was around 5 years ago. I had the same frustrating experience with support. I understand front line support personelle might not know what the heck an RFC is, but you'd think this would be a case when escalating to the next level would be warranted. I felt like they weren't even reading half of my message. I switched to different nameservers, and that worked fine in my case. I did eventually move over to Porkbun, but not for that reason.

I'm also in the southwest suburbs, and have Comcast. My internet went out for about ten minutes at around 9:20 CST. I disabled WIFI on my iPhone only to discover I was still offline, and had no signal. Not sure whether the Comcast outage was related, but it came back up very quickly, whereas I still have no cell service (AT&T). My wife does have service, even though we both have iPhone 15 Pros.

> If you never initialize a heap allocator, you can be confident your program will not heap allocate.

This is true for the standard library, where I can trust that no hidden allocations will be made. If I pull in a third party package, nothing guarantees that that lib won't init a new `std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(...)`, right?

I don't think you're stripping the userinfo quite right. You're stripping everything after the at-sign, when you want to strip what's before:

  scheme://user:[email protected]:port/path?query_key=query_value&another_key=another_value#fragment

That's what happens when you use coconut oil

I use ProtonMail because I want to use an email address at my own domain. It's actually an inconvenience though, because their IOS app does not let me compose a message with VoiceOver, and when I reached out to them, they basically told me that they're not implementing features until they do their UI redesign. Most of the time, I compose messages in a desktop browser, but the few times I've needed to do so from my phone has required me to open Safari and do it from there, which was a pain.

I'm not looking for military grade encryption in a subterrainian mountain; I just want email at my domain from a service that doesn't read all of my emails and profile me based on their contents. I've looked into hosting my own email from a VPS, but it's not a trivial project, and I'm most worried about being blacklisted before I even start, since it seems most VPS providers are.

Any recommendations?

I've always wondered about the whole cold lowering your immune system thing. On one hand, I've read that studies have shown this to be the case, but on the other hand, doesn't subjecting your body to moderate levels of hormetic stress actually make you more resilient? It seems like there should be a noticeable increase in sickness among people who take cold showers if this were true, the opposite of what they tend to report.
