@bmaxv Hi, Thank you! I appreciate the congratulations and the support. It's a tough reality, but im not sure that if its the impact of the sanctions, or at least i thought it shouldnt effect free softwares which dont have nationality at all and should be available for all.I also hope my country Iran gets out of this situation very soon so that developers here can have equal opportunities in the global FOSS community.

After a grueling 2,000-hour nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, international connectivity has finally returned to the Parch Linux servers.This prolonged outage completely destroyed our SEO. Searching for our project yielded zero results for months, which took a massive toll on our visibility and progress. Now that we are back online, I am trying to figure out how to rebuild the lost trust of our international users and effectively promote the project again. Unfortunately, open-source news outlets have rarely covered us unless we directly request a feature.Despite these hurdles, I am incredibly relieved that the connection is restored and people outside of Iran can finally see our work once more.Hoping for freedom.https://parchlinux.com#ParchLinux #Linux #OpenSource #FOSS #InternetFreedom #Iran

@mboelen Does "others" include NetBSD content?

@mcepl Thank you for your interest.I usually keep an eye on online marketplaces like eBay, looking for opportunities in the €100 to €300 price range. Most of the listings come from resellers who acquire/get used Braille displays from associations or schools that replace their older devices with newer ones. So, while the displays are used, they are generally still fully functional.Most of the good deals I've found are in the United States. Ideally, though, I'd like to find something in Europe to avoid customs duties and the high shipping costs.

Another accessible #Spotify client for the desktop. Maybe this one will be updated? I've been using more internet radio, myself, but still, here's another one https://github.com/sjtaylor82/BlindSpot #Accessibility #A11y #OpenSource
