@aaronpk I just feel like I hit walls at every turn. I was just prompted to pay $4.99 so I could play media from my local network on my tablet. They're targeting a niche that's Not Me.

as like an in-app purchase? Yeah that's a tough problem, they need revenue somehow, and I'd rather pay them than have them sell ads to me. I bought the lifetime pass several years ago and I haven't been bothered with prompts since then.

One of my favorite parts of IndieWebCamp is the infectious looks of happiness, joy, and glee people have when demoing what they’ve done on their own websites. A special thanks to everyone big and small who participated in the London camp this weekend.

A school superintendent said something profound in his address cancelling school for the next 3 weeks. He said: In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.
Hear those words....

@aaronpk Oof, wish I had known about the lifetime pass. I spent $180 on monthly passes before canceling.
I don't mind paying for stuff but Plex is just so far beyond what I need. I have media files on a server, I want to stream them to a few devices. I don't want to sign in and have all these other extras.

yeah it's definitely a lot. One of my favorite features is that it can download files to my iPad so I can watch while offline, which is great when I'm on planes. I feel like this all got harder to do with mobile devices, it used to be pretty straightforward using just computers.

Feeling pretty silly about having just ordered this big stack of business cards I was going to be using on all my upcoming trips.

I'm doing some homework on IoT stuff via http://aaronparecki.com/home-automation/ and found @WyzeCam. Son, this company is like way more lean (no extractive behaviors), hardware isn't designed to be aged out like Apple products and your data can stay local!

It’s only Quarantine if it’s in the Quarante province of France. Otherwise it's just Sparkling Isolation.

Just congratulated my cat for washing her hands for over 20 seconds, as recommended. But also she's touching her face at the same time...
