Was struggling to choose between Couch and MongoDB. Instead decided to save stuff in flat files.

@aaronpk is this a sign that database antipattern got me mad and I'm ready to eschew databases as primary storage?

store in flat files, index them in a database! \o/

Not sure I follow. Do you mean parody/fair use? (Isn't the right to make derivative works one of the exclusive rights of copyright?)

oops yeah that's what I meant. The point is it's not just a rebroadcast, since his stream has its own personality and original content, nobody is gonna watch his and think it's the real Apple stream. Still not a battle I'd want to fight.

Yep, exactly what I was thinking for next time. Still a bummer though.

Yeah, especially because by most reasonable arguments yours would be considered a derivative work, and not subject to takedowns, but that sounds like not a fun argument to have with Apple/YouTube

yikes… well I guess I won't be doing this again! What a bummer… was fun while it lasted!

I'd happily leave your commentary in one tab and the Apple stream in another! I'm sure it'd be close enough in sync to work. As long as you aren't rebroadcasting their audio/video it'd be fine.

So @marisamorby convinced me it was a good idea to try and make gnocchi from scratch tonight. See you in four flour-covered hours. 😅

oh no. I did that once, and soon realized the effort it required and mess it created was not worth the $5 it would take me to buy a frozen bag from the store.

What is the best wearable (clothing, shoes, etc) purchase you've ever made on Amazon? - and link, please :)

You're gonna laugh, but I bought 3 copies of the plain black shoes I've been wearing for the last 6 years when the price dropped, and I still have 2 pairs stored in my closet for when my current ones wear out. https://amzn.to/2Q3YMar #utilitarian

I do not understand why but people seriously love camcorder videos.

different market than DSLR/mirrorless. I use camcorders for filming 8-10+ hour a day events, when I wouldn't trust a mirrorless of a similar price point for that duration

Hey tech peeps 👋 do any of you like to share things you learn with others? If so what are your favourite ways of doing so, e.g. writing a post, presenting, via a messaging service, etc.?

Writing blog posts, making videos, and speaking at conferences!

Anyone use @zoom_us for webinars?

Yeah, quite a bit! It's one of the more stable video platforms imo.

so you're homeless now? Aren't there some sort of... hostels, or something, that don't need to be booked in advance?

I just booked a hotel when I landed, thankfully there were plenty available!

@aaronpk 😱 I hope you found accommodations without too much hassle.

Yep, thankfully it's a small town and there were plenty of options!

I got to find out what “guaranteed room availability” with high hotel status means.

It means you’re paying 4x what everyone else in the hotel is paying, and you’re sleeping in the conference room.

No seriously, they put a cot in a conference room and charged me for it.

Better than sleeping in the lobby I guess

You haven’t lived until you’ve done that in Europe, after an 18 hour flight. During a big conference where all the hotels are booked.

Bonus points if your company is the one throwing the conference.

Or so I’ve heard.

@manton I don’t think that own your gram or your swarm are working. None of my check ins or pictures have been published on my Mb page

OwnYourSwarm should be working still. Gram not so much.

@thaddeushunt Is this using OwnYourGram? Micro.blog has no direct connection with Instagram itself, so seems like it would be something on the OwnYourGram side, perhaps how often it checks for new photos.

Instagram is cracking down on "unofficial" use of its website, so OwnYourGram isn't able to fetch photos automatically until I fix it.

Formatting memory cards makes me uncomfortable

Memory cards are cheap enough now to treat them like 8mm tapes where you just kept getting new ones and never overwriting old ones and now have an entire bookcase full of footage from 20 years ago
