Very well... I’ll just download the new source and run those and get back to you. I don’t think I’ve updated it since I installed it the first time... maybe last year?

I don't think it's changed a ton since then!

Hey @aaronpk you had posted instructions for upgrading Compass somewhere right? Could you please link me? Thanks in advance!!

hmm I don't think I did include explicit instructions in the readme! Should be the same as the install process tho... `composer install` and `php artisan migrate`

This sounds very familiar. That's also the reason why I opened ticket #87 at Overland iOS on github :)

haha good point! For some reason I have no trouble starting and stopping trips manually in Overland, but I can't be bothered to manually start and stop a sleep tracker!

have you considered buying an external GPU setup? I also love my 13" MBP. Have had the 2016 model now since....2016! haha

Does the external GPU thing actually work? It's been a while since I looked into it but my understanding was very few apps can actually take advantage of it, and exporting a rendered video would not use it. It'd only speed up the UI while editing.

@aaronpk If that's your only criteria, then sure, but seems a small compromise, all things considered :)

It's not a small compromise because that's literally 90% of the reason I even have a smart watch in the first place.

I never tried to do sleep tracking with my Apple Watch, because the night is the time I need to charge it.
I use "Sleep Better" on my iPhone.
But even if that would work, you still wouldn't get the data out of the health app. -Or did I miss something?

I know from past experience that anything that requires manual intervention by me to start or stop sleep tracking I will eventually forget to do it and lose data. FitBit (and Jawbone) are the only things I've used that are automatic.

@aaronpk I use AutoSleep and it detects sleep/wake times and gives a good amount of data on the sleep. Perhaps you've already considered that.

Yeah it's more on principle that I don't think a $399 luxury watch should be less capable out of the box than a $99 FitBit

there are some apps that take night movements of the watch and write them to the Health app as sleep tracking. They’re not at the level of the Fitbit, though. 😞

Yea, I'm not interested in half-baked solutions for a $399 device. At that price it better be able to do at least what a $99 FitBit can do.

Is it much easier for non-static sites? Is there a "webmentions in a box" WP plugin?

and I use webmention.io myself, but I use the webhook feature so that it pushes the webmentions to my website immediately, where I can then store the data in my website's storage. That's one of the reasons the client-side JS examples there don't include any rendered HTML.

Yep! https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/

It's completely self-contained, no external services, and integrates with the native WordPress comments system.

I was *just* about to come back around and thank you and Remy for building these servies for starters. So thank you!

Yes, this is a partial failure of static sites but it still just feels like an over-engineered solution. I know lots of bloggers and so few of them use webmention

There's definitely room for someone to come in and build a better solution tailored to all the specific limitations of static sites! What you're seeing is the side effect of these solutions not having been built specifically with static sites in mind.

(cont.)

- Set up IFTTT for RSS -> http://webmention.app to send webmentions

Fin? Maybe? I count 4 different web-apps necessary *and* two different code markups needed to get this all working correctly.

Webmentions is a failed system.

Not sure I understand why this is "failed"?

I'm guessing you are using a static site generator. That's going to give you lots of problems trying to do anything dynamic, kind of by definition.

So if my laptop starts rendering files in an acceptable way and I don't need to buy a new one...

That means maybe a new camera is still on the table for the channel funds that still need spent this year.

I'm just saying 🤷‍♂️

"funds that needs spent" 😂 I know that tune. That sounds like someone who has a well-paying full-time job doing something other than making YouTube videos.

hey @aaronpk, thanks again for the great talk at #bsidespdx! Any chance you'll be sharing the slide deck? I wanted to review them again and there were some links in there I wanted to follow up on :)

Yes! They're posting the video soon and when they do I'll post a link to it and the slides!

We have a window that’s something like 12 ft /4m x 6ft/2m. And it’s single pane. It’s gorgeous, but also, bye-bye heat!!

holy hell that is a massive window 🤯 That would do it!

In full winter we have to leave the heat on or pipes could freeze if it gets really bad. Oregon… we have real winters :-)

I forget these things living in a large apartment building where it seemingly can't get below 70 inside and I sometimes even find myself opening the windows in the winter because it's too warm inside
