@aaronpk may I ask you a few questions about this product? Background - I've used OBS for long timeframe livestreaming with some issues in the past, but I've noticed that after a few hours of livestreaming, it starts to glitch out because of memory issues. It's worse with ffmpeg - livestreaming bitrate drops drastically as time goes on. I assume since this product is hardware based, it wouldn't have those issues?

Also, what does this mean? "Plus the built in USB connections work like a webcam, so you can connect a computer and use any streaming software, or even Skype or Zoom." Does it mean that you can stream to Skype or Zoom, or from?

I understand that this and OBS are not directly comparable. Just wanted to know your thoughts on these questions.

Yep any time they say "work like a webcam" it means you can bring the video feed from these into Zoom or OBS like you'd plug in an actual USB webcam.

The ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme can do the encoding and streaming directly to YouTube and other platforms, which would avoid doing that encoding in your computer with OBS which is causing the issues you're seeing. Generally I prefer offloading that to external devices for that reason. But yes like you noticed, they can stream to only one place, so you have to use things like Restream or a raspberry pi if you want to push to multiple platforms.

Is this for "short" podcasts. LOL Actually it would be a killer tool.

I did a video about it actually! There would be so many excellent uses of it! https://youtu.be/i5jUgMDRe-0

I meant a notification to a smart speaker or display (which I hope is true as that would be super useful when at home)

Oh like when you're waiting to get picked up?

Maybe the Lyft scooters?

I would have thought those would use Bluetooth which is a different prompt

My guess is to send notifications to a Cast-enabled device (since Apple is shady and doesn't require consent for AirPlay)

I know drivers sometimes have the little appliances in their cars to light up with the passengers names, but what could this do as a passenger? When I'm in a Lyft I'm not even on wifi

I think the intent is to alert you when an _app_ accessed the clipboard, not necessarily in response to a user action- and the paste source helps to understand the potential impact (paste from 1Password probably worse than from say Pokémon go). But also useful to spot mistakes!

It would be useful if they showed that notification *only* when the paste was not in response to a user action. I would appreciate knowing when an app accessed the clipboard. it's redundant when I click the paste button and then see this because I already know that I am pasting.

@aaronpk Not sure if this applies to your problem, but maybe the nginx auth_request module helpes.

That's definitely an option! I've used that successfully a few times before. I am also hoping to find something that doesn't require running a VM though, like Netlify or some other static site hosting service.

Using the standard tier, correct? I think the paid one is required for byo

Yup, that was it! Thanks for the reminder! This works great.

you could redirect through a serverless function to validate. JWT is probably easier since you'll presumably already have that through whatever service you're using for user management

Sounds promising, but I still can't quite see all the pieces. Maybe we should do another livestream and tackle this live!

Azure static web apps has auth proxy built in and is pretty lightweight, $9 to byo oidc. Or an az function proxy and use easyauth/write a couple of methods to handle the redirect and code redemption. That's free under 1m executions

Managed to get pretty far with this approach, but got hung up on this issue if you have any thoughts: https://github.com/aaronpowell/swa-custom-auth-okta/issues/1

but if you’re looking for a cookie, you can check for that in the redirect and send to auth if it’s not present

the cookie redirect could be:

/* /:splat 200! Cookie=your_cookie
/* /login

login could call a serverless function to set the cookie

how can I validate the contents of that cookie? From what I can tell in the docs the redirect method just checks for the presence of the cookie

yeah, HTTP Basic Auth is problematic for several reasons

In that case you could move the whole static site to a specific directory that is protected via a _redirects definition ? Access is only granted to a specific role. https://docs.netlify.com/visitor-access/role-based-access-control/ Roles can be set via Identity

That's promising, but can I use an external OpenID Connect IDP for that? I don't want to manage users in Netlify
