I got some great comments and questions about my video setup from my colleagues at @snyksec. Everything I do (and have) I learned from @aaronpk. I sent around a bunch of links to your http://kit.co/aaronpk kits today!

Nice! Looking good!!

We don’t need everyone to upgrade log4j, just enough for herd immunity to takeover

@aaronpk Not literally that fast, but Swift has moved really fast over the years. Swift written not long ago probably won't build anymore where Objective-c I wrote 10 years ago still builds! (Though Apple framework changes will still break code in any language over time)

in any case it sounds like there's a bunch of bugs in the latest XCode version, so I'm going to hold off on doing anything until they release an update. But then I will report back on how it goes!

Does Apple even let you publish something like that on their store? I saw that GPSLogger gave up on the Google Play store. I appreciate the privacy concerns with trackers but it'd be nice to have an exception for these "this data is for you" as opposed to adware.

There's a ton of apps like this, I don't think it's a problem. Someone ported my iOS app to Android recently even. Also from what I read in (your!) HN thread, the reason it was removed from the Google Play store had nothing to do with privacy? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735159

You sure thats the case? I have 1tb drive space on my mini and Xcode 13.2 took an hour to DL and actually never finished. Went on forever until I redefined forever to be Stop & End!

I mean my laptop has 14gb free right now and XCode is 12.6gb. I did just see all the headlines about issues with XCode 13.2 so I guess I'm gonna put off this project until they get that sorted out.

@aaronpk At least it's in Objective-c and not Swift. Swift code goes out of date weekly!

oh no does it? I think part of it is in Swift when a couple of other people contributed some stuff to it.

It's been over 3 years since I've published an update for Overland, my GPS tracker app, and I am a little terrified to re-download XCode and see how much work it's going to take to even make it compile now 😬 https://overland.p3k.app

also my poor little M1 MacBook Air doesn't have enough disk space to even download XCode, so I guess I'm gonna do that on an older computer. or buy a bigger macbook

What turns me off the most is that web1 was about people being excited to share information in new (and free) ways, while web3 appears to be mostly about money and land grabs and gambling. It’s almost like web3 is the gross capitalist dystopian alternate ending to web1.

I'm sure things changed after the federal push of boosters for all, but it was like pulling teeth to get a booster the first week of November.

weird, I got mine in October and I don't even think there was a special box to tick, just had to be 6 months after J&J

The web was already a massive decentralization compared to the "online services" model like Compuserve and Delphi.

Just implement many many good independent websites that aren't Facebook and Amazon.

I talk all the time to artists who say “I just want to support my work, and it seems like there’s an audience.” or individuals who say “I found a nice, welcoming community that’s having fun talking about art and tech.” Those are reasonable views. And we should engage with them.

@aaronpk Pretty sure moving to the proprietary walled garden GitHub where a project's data has no escape route fails at least 7/11 of the #IndieWeb principles.
❌ Own your data
❌ Make what you need
❌ Use what you make
❌ Open source your stuff
❌ Modularity
❌ Longevity
❌ Plurality

I just agree with gargron that the tooling around a project doesn't need to blindly follow FOSS just for the sake of it. But I do realize I'm sending this to floss.social https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/107419999666450567

@aaronpk Wrong: The Discourse project offers free hosting to maintainers and has for many years: https://free.discourse.group/
Shilling for Microsoft is pretty far afield from the #IndieWeb ....

I think you'll find most of the IndieWeb community is not the die-hard FOSS fans. Open source is important, but is not an end goal in and of itself. There's plenty of examples of not open source IndieWeb software that happily interoperates with the open source software.

I think one of the hugest things web3 people seem to be confused about is that somehow building systems that expect less trust will fundamentally fix problems of trust – it's a nihilist approach to systems engineering that speaks more to their psychology than any sound theory

If there's a "thing" you can point to and there's global consensus about it, it's centralized. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules, just stating scientific facts.

True decentralization doesn't involve a conceptually centralized blockchain, change my mind.
