  That thing of reading about other peoples' lockdown experiences and realising that it's not very different to my regular life, that many introverts are having lately.. but more specifically I'm discovering that meeting friends regularly in-person is a huge part of life for most people - and I guess was common for me too at one point - but that I completely went without since I started travelling and just got used to my friends and family being almost entirely online (aka in my pocket) for years now. I don't really know where I'm going with this. Just that it's interesting seeing people adjusting to it (or failing to) and I don't even remember having much of a period of adjustment, it was quite natural for me. Maybe I'm just an antisocial asshole. I love all my friends and family, really I do, even in pixel form. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2020/05/lockdown

  Welp, Google did something to their SMTP servers today and my ability to send email from my Google account just stopped working. App-specific passwords aren't working anymore. Guess I am just going to quit email.

  @photojoseph @aaronpk I am a novice to these techs. Any idea why do I get this greenish screen with my new (inexpensive) camcorder connected to ATEM Mini?

  
  

  I've seen a similar problem outputting from HDMI devices into certain monitors. Turns out HDMI has two different color modes, RGB and YUV, and some devices only support one or the other. If the camera has a setting for that, it might fix it, but I'm betting it does not.

  also what voodoo do you use that allows you to start filming a video the night before it’ll be released?? you must really have your post-production workflow down!
  
  I tend to spend 3x more time editing than filming.

  Make a whole bunch of videos and hone your workflow into a knife edge.
  
  I don’t do fancy edits, and I have everything set up and ready to go so just a flick of a couple switches and I’m good to go.
  

  I’m about 75% of the way to having a permanent recording setup in place, it’s already saved me time even tho it’s not perfect.
  
  I still struggle with how scripted the dialogue should be. The less scripted the more editing. The more scripted, the worse the final result.

  Is there a way to make FaceTime NOT ring on a Mac, but still have it logged in so I can place outgoing calls on it?

  Social media ***was*** intentionally designed to give a voice to the voiceless in the absence of actual, functioning democracy. Capitalism reshaped it and took it away from its' original designs.

  oddly the audio download link links to a URL that redirects to archive.org which then says it’s not found

  Are you seriously claiming that twitter invented social media?
  
  Cause I was working full time in social media before twitter started. Or did I misunderstand you?
  

  Depends on your definition of social media: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media#History
  
  According to that, none of us were even alive at the origins of social media.

  I'm still having trouble. This works when sending email from a script, but Gmail can't talk to Gmail's own SMTP servers right now using the same account info.
  

  so far I have:
  
  • changed my password
  • reset my two-factor-auth
  • deleted and re-added this account in Gmail
  • tried every combination of TLS and port number
  
  I can send email via SMTP from a small script, I just can't get Gmail to send via SMTP between accounts.

  Did you try changing the port to 465? 587 is supposedly for nonssl-only, but can be upgraded with a starttls command. It could they’re not accepting auth on 587 anymore because of some screwy thing around auth before the starttls.
  

  465 + TLS results in "Couldn't reach server. Please double-check the server and port number."
  
  587 + TLS from my PHP script works fine.

  http://Mail.app lets you turn on verbose logging in connection doctor, not sure if this app does…
  

  This is Gmail itself though. Also Mail.app now goes through the Google OAuth flow to set it up so it wouldn't even be testing the same thing. That's why I went and found an SMTP client in PHP and tried sending an email through that and it worked fine.

  so that tells me it's a problem with @Gmail's SMTP client talking to Gmail's SMTP server

  Hmm. What if you do ssl instead of tls over 465?
  

  Same authentication failed message. I've tried every combination of TLS/SSL and port number in that list.
  
  They made some breaking change this morning, and rolled it back, but apparently didn't roll it back far enough.

  Just being curious: why do you want to use/ are using gmail in the first place? I know you for your expertise in indie web and the like.
  

  Fair question. Primarily: email != web, and the effort to self-host email is far greater than that of websites. Part of why I'm so frustrated with this situation is I had a good setup going where I am using my own domain as my email, it just happens to be powered by Gmail.

  Also remember indieweb is not all about self-hosting, it's about online identity ownership. If I own my domain, I can move providers, which is true of websites as well as email.
