I'm looking to buy a few #Braille Displays to test and support them on #FreeBSD

I've found several used models on eBay for under €400, which would be perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, almost all of them are located in the United States, so the shipping costs are quite high.

Does anyone know of any websites or online stores in Europe where I can buy new or used Braille displays? Any links or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've just published version 2.93 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added a new admirations entry point to the web UI, containing a timeline of liked, boosted and reacted posts. Please take note that, after installing the new version, it will start empty, and be filled with subsequent reactions (contributed by violette).

It's now possible to disable showing posts in a given set of languages.

Nested quoted posts are limited up to 3 levels.

New configuration knob: by setting keep_replies_posts to true in server.json, remote posts that a local user has replied to are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).

New configuration knob: by setting keep_replied_me to true in server.json, remote replies to local posts are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).

Ensure actors' public key PEM never includes anything after the end marker.

Fixed some memory leaks (contributed by inz).

Several additional keyId checks (many thanks to lainsoykaf for bringing this to my attention).

Fixed crash in the JSON parser (many thanks to nullenvk for bringing this to my attention).

Mastodon API: fixed lost custom emojis after edition (contributed by e0w0e).

Updated French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish translations (contributed by dragondaddy, daltux, zen).
