I do like that feature of Overcast. Castro does it too. I'm not quite sure how to translate this into Microsub yet, but it'd be worth thinking about. -

Yeah, exactly. On timeline can you provide both a before AND after token? You definitely would want to be able to specify both in the "timelineCounts" method.
Yeah right now it will actually work with both before and after tokens. I guess that isn't made explicit in the spec, but it was just as easy to have the code work that way. -

Excellent. I think the "unread counts" property is useful based on common reader approaches. So I think that is definitely valuable, I can see a lot of people wanting to use that. For my use-case, my unread status will likely be based on if the updated property has been "updated".
I'm gonna have to think about this further because there are three options I could do. Regardless of the option I use, Indigenous' default will always be based on if new posts have come in. However, there are some additional features I might implement:
- I could provide an account-wide setting that changes all Channel Unread indicators to be based on if there are any unread posts in the channel. This would be helpful for people that are completionists.
- One potentially interesting idea is instead of the above option, I could provide a per-channel setting of the "Unread Status" of the channel. This would be helpful because some channels I might want to read completely (more article based channels), whereas other channels I might want to be able to just scroll to the top and only have it be marked as unread when a new post comes in.
I think I'm leaning towards that last approach:
- All channels default to showing as read when the user has scrolled to the top and showing as unread when the channel has been updated with at least one new post.
- Each channel can be edited to have it's read/unread indicator be based on if there are any unread posts in the channel.
I like it. I'm definitely planning on having a few channels that I want to read 100% of the posts, and some where I want to skim them really quick, so I would definitely use that setting. -

Fiddling with http://schema.org to create a simple event for about 1 hour. Was @microformats too easy and too readable for the big boys to come up with the exact opposite...? 🙄

This is fantastic! Looking forward to importing some of these into BarBot! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/02/26/18/day-68-barbot-recipes

Doesn't work with the 2016 13" MacBook ProThis would be such a great device, but unfortunately it doesn't work on the 2016 13" MacBook Pro. Apparently it requires a quad-core processor, and the 13" only has two cores. Everything else about the device is great though. My mac did recognize it without installing any drivers, but the video was stuttering a lot. I just wish they could have made it work on dual-core machines.

@aaronparecki.com I like the idea of a motion detector. Amazon AWS released these inexpensive cameras with onboard ML/AI a few months ago. Maybe I’ll give that a spin.
I have the same layout in my living/dining/kitchen, so I’d have to get creative.
well that's an idea... train it to recognize whether there is a person in the kitchen. That seems doable actually! -

@aaronparecki.com Haha, same issue here. It’s a bit too aggressive on transitions at the moment, too. I’m thinking of adding a delay or some additional smarts. Fun stuff. Are you using homebridge?
Nah, I have Hue lights which have a nice (local) hub with an HTTP API, so I made a little PHP script that Plex hits as a web hook and it talks to the Hue bridge directly.
I'm not sure what other information I could use to avoid blacking out the room at inopportune times. Maybe a motion sensor in the kitchen? Tho my kitchen and living room are basically the same room. Maybe a motion sensor aimed just at the kitchen counter? -

Outfitted the remaining shared spaces in my house with Lutron Caseta dimmers and switches today. Oh, and for good measure, I set up an automation to dim my lights when I start watching something on @Plex in my living room. 🤩🎉
Yes! I have my lights set to turn to a certain scene when Plex starts, pauses, and stops! It's the best. Only trick is when I watch something while chopping food and then I can't see!
