    I absolutely dread when it’s SD Card cleanup time. I’d almost rather to keep buying more cards then to delete the footage off of one.

    I’m always terrified I’m going to delete a main clip of something 😬

    Remember when we used to just keep buying VHS and 8mm tapes never taping over old ones?

    Then again, it was a lot harder to back those up back then.

    Welp it filled up back here, oh well. I'm not super familiar with the SAS seating assignment process, so I guess several rows of empty seats during checkin yesterday was not an indicator of an empty flight.

    oh and in my rush I forgot that one of the things I was supposed to do at the airport was buy snacks for the plane since the website wouldn't let me choose a vegetarian meal and Scandinavian food is like the complete opposite of vegetarian. 😔

    aaaaand I am on the plane! Boarding group A so I'm the first one into the back half of the plane! 😅

    Now I just cross my fingers that the seats next to me haven't been claimed in the last 24 hours and this will be a pleasant 12hr flight.

    That was fast. Made it to the gate, sadly no time for coffee.

    Made it thru security and gained 10 minutes because we board 50 minutes before takeoff not 60.

    Now 6 actual minutes til boarding. Gotta get thru passport control first

    While it was fun, I maybe shouldn't have spent an hour riding the new city loop automated train in Copenhagen this morning. Now I have only 45 minutes til boarding and the checkin line is really long.

    So if you accidentally switch to emoji keyboard while typing fast you'll then inadvertently add an emoji. You then want to delete said emoji, so you tap where the delete key just was — but it's moved, so you add another emoji!!
    Aaron Parecki
    lol yes this happens to me at least once a day and it's incredibly annoying

    Want: An audio mixer, explicitly NOT for recording studio or stage use, but rather for mixing multiple stereo audio sources on my desk (PC, Mac, Alexa, etc.) into a single stream to be fed into desktop speakers. Minimal/no knobs preferred. Does something like that even exist?
    Aaron Parecki
    It’ll be tough to find one with no knobs, but try searching for “line mixers”. I have the Samson SM10, it fits in a 1U rack mount, or you could mount it under the desk.

    Wow Spotify sure pays really well
    Aaron Parecki
    Are you making *any* money from Spotify? You must have like an actual number of people who listen to your stuff then?

    Finally I have restored my database, as I bought a SATA cable. Sorry for the radio silence, I hope your readers won't overflow!

    #postmortem TL;DR: tried to disassemble my server, fried the BIOS, too lazy to bring it to service center and all my data was locked up on a HDD to which I couldn't connect. But I bought a SATA cable and heroically retrieved the database.

    Even shorter TL;DR: you need a backup off-site. I'll probably set up a cron job that will send the DB dump to a remote server.

    Aaron Parecki
    :hugops: backups are good! I have learned this the hard way.

    Cool, that's worth a try. That said, I only have the server running locally at the moment so I'm guessing that won't work. Thanks again for the help, though.
    Aaron Parecki
    Oh yeah that's the other thing, you can't use localhost as a redirect. At least not last time I tried. What did you put in the redirect url field in Apple when setting this up?

  • Darryl Young https://twitter.com/darryl_young   •   Nov 6
    I have a GraphQL server (Prisma) and I'm sending the auth code there. Then, on that server, I'm trying to validate the auth code with Apple. Once it validates, I'd either be creating a user and sending a session token back or signing a user in by sending back a session token.
    Aaron Parecki
    Cool, so that URL on the GraphQL server is the redirect_url, and that's what needs to be sent in that POST request.

    There is a noticeable lag but just having a second window to hold non-priority screens is awesome.
    Aaron Parecki
    ah bummer I was hoping they could do magic being closer to the metal at both ends. Guess it's cool that it'll be built in now tho.

    Duet has been a lifesaver when I need to see speaker notes but also need to share the slides via Zoom.

    Today during lunch I'm trying to finish the edit for Friday's video as I've got a pretty busy week ahead.

    And I'll tell you what, MacOS side car basically gives you dual screen capability that fits in your backpack.

    It's going to change how I travel.

    Aaron Parecki
    How's the latency? I've been using Duet for a while, but it's a bit laggy and occasionally has some compression artifacts, so I mainly only use it as a second display for presentations.
