@aaronpk @metawops https://github.com/datarhei/restreamer This is what we are using. It’s based on the same nginx modules but everything works via the web interface after docker compose up. Just love it as it helps saving money for multistreaming.

Nice, looks good! I personally don't like running things with Docker but if you're already used to that it sounds great

#GroupM (the largest twitter ad spender) telling clients that ads on #twitter are high risk now, that rounds out the 3 largest #ad agencies telling their clients not to spend on Twitter.

So just to recap, new boss fired most of my coworkers, drove away most advertisers, keeps changing his mind about “free speech” and “verification”, is publicly denigrating my current and ex coworkers, and now won’t let anyone make any changes to the code. Things are going great!

@aaronpk the #raspberrypi does not actually have the horsepower to “Create multiple resolutions of your video and push different resolutions to different platforms”, right? It has trouble encodingone stream at 720p.

True, using a larger server would be better for that. I'll make a note.

The Australian experience of the internet is that you wake up and the internet happened overnight, and you quickly read it and then go on with your day.

I don’t know how the rest of you get anything done when the internet is on all day.

Automattic is one of the most important companies on the Internet.
They make Tumblr, WooCommerce, Akismet, LongReads, WordPress—among others.
WordPress alone powers ~44% of the world's websites.
More interesting: despite being such a large, dominant company, few people hate Automattic.
Why is this? 🧵

Another question regarding the Fediverse: "Would politicians, press, higher learning, celebrities actually ever be bothered to self-host an instance and pay someone to maintain it?"
Again, Automattic answers that question.
What do all those institutions use for their websites? Self-hosted WordPress sites.
Who runs it? Someone they pay.
Self-hosting and maintenance can not only be normalized -- people would probably be happy to do it.

I can never see the word aluminum without thinking of one of my favorite Weird Al numbers, Foil.

I do this one at karaoke pretty regularly. Yes, I could do Royals by Lorde, but the parody is more fun to sing. 🥪🦎

Elon Musk has been directing subordinates to comb through Twitter's Slack and make lists of people making fun of him or his plans for firing. They've also been monitoring employee's tweets. Latest w/ @kateconger and @MikeIsaac)

The notion that every street in a city grid must be open to cars is just absurd to me. Its such an extreme position to take that no less than 100% of roads be allowed for cars. What we really need are pedestrian only corridors where one can travel on foot and not be constantly dodging traffic. Theme parks manage this and their entire business is to extract revenue from a captured audience. If it was bad for business we wouldn’t have spaces predicated on this model. #Urbanism

Has your new CEO deleted all your unit tests for being "dead code we never use in production"? Is he getting his advice from randos on social media? Did he fire you for writing too much code and also not enough code? Would you rather be working at Apple? DM me—maybe I can help!

I think Twitter is broken — pretty sure most of these tweets I’m seeing are from several years ago.

This is your scheduled periodic reminder, for no particular reason, that now is a good time to review the third party OAuth apps that have access to your Twitter account, and remove any that you don't recognize or haven't used in a while.

As an engineer at Twitter, I can confirm that Elon Musk doesn’t understand anything about our website, or coding in general. Not gonna lie, we laugh REALLY hard about it behind his back. We’ve been calling him “the CEO,” but it stands for Code Efficiency 0.

OK https://push-notifications-demo.netlify.app worked for me in Safari 16.1 on macOS Ventura 13.0!
It still tells me that push notifications aren't supported in Mobile Safari on iOS 16.1 though.
