- The goal for USB4 is to clean up some of the mess.
So for example, there is no USB 3.1 hub with 3.1 ports, all you have is port expanders. I expect quite a few USB4 hubs, and for many to work with alt modes.
I look forward to buying all new devices and cables again in another 3 years -

I look at it as:
- The goal for 3.0 was to increase the speed an order of magnitude, and set the stage for future increases
- The goal for 3.1 was to create a single port to accommodate the need for devices like mobile phones and tablets to work without product-specific adapters
This is the kind of stuff that makes me glad I work in software standards and not hardware standards -

I'm not going to hold Thunderbolt- a spec far older than USB-C- against USB-C.
But now that Thunderbolt has been rolled in to USB4, you damn well better bet I expect these things to start to improve. Somehow.
There better be some 4 port USB4 laptops showing up!
Oh gosh I hadn't heard about USB4 at all yet. Is it going to use the same port as C? -

It’s so infuriating. And we gave up MagSafe for this crap.
What's really sad is my PC needs 100W which virtually no accessories can provide, so I need to plug in my USB-C hub *and* the laptop's charger anyway -
It's so bad! And I have no idea which cables are which right now either so I'm gonna have a project ahead of me.

What's the chances that's going to happen anytime soon? Maybe my time in the cryptocurrency community has jaded me on changes happening as soon as people would like lol
There are some big changes coming in the OAuth/OIDC community, but moving away from JWTs is not one of them. Like most things, if you know how to use them properly, JWTs are fine, which is why it's usually the best bet to go with a major provider's implementation. -

Thirdly Lumix GX9 with 12-60 kit lens. All the B-roll potential of the GH5 but a fraction of the cost $500
The GX9 can do 1080 at 24fps right? If so, I'm interested! -

New vid is out! Main stuff shot on EOS R. Wide shot was Metabones speed booster and tight was RF 24-105 in 1080p. I think I’m convinced. I’m just gonna shoot 1080p.
Sony RX100 VII Review - The Almost Perfect Pocket Camera!? https://youtu.be/y8U4VQHFFxs
It looks great! I shot my last one in 4K but I don't think it was really worth it. Took forever to make proxy files to be able to edit it at all, and in the end what for? so you can see more hairs on my face? -

I’m using webmention.io to handle webmentions currently, so it should handle this? :3 I don’t know, still haven’t gotten around to actually showing webmentions
ahh then yes it should! My fault! I don't use that feature of webmention.io myself so I never noticed this! -

@aaronpk is something’s up with your #webmentions or you just like my homepage that much? 😸 #bugs
Oh yeah I should probably figure out how to stop doing that, but because my post links to both your individual post in the in-reply-to property as well as your home page, my site sends two webmentions. Technically you can tell them apart because the mention of your home page doesn't have a specific microformats property on it. But I'm gonna add this to my list to tidy up anyway. -

Made a huge personal decision today. Been battling this for a long time but I just need to do it... Selling/giving away every camera bag, case, pouch and organizer I own that I haven't used in the last year. I hope this tweet gives some of you the strength to do the same!
I did this 6 months ago and it was great.
But then I went and got more bags... -

@annika it's cute. I love what punkt are doing (https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/) but they're just so expensive, this seems a better option
That Punkt phone is really cool. If I actually talked on the phone ever I might consider it! Most of my voice communication happens via Zoom these days tho. -

@manton I’m still not quite sure why it wasn’t a good idea!
Two reasons:
1: The only data in the Pingback payload is two URLs. Wrapping this an an XML container that's also doing RPC is incredibly overkill for sending just two values. That's why Webmention went with form-encoded instead, like regular HTML forms, which is about the most compact way you can send two values.
2: Pingback never went far enough with the user experience of displaying them. At best, you'd see a snippet of the text near the link, which it turns out wasn't really that useful or contextual. Once social media started taking off, the interactions there became far richer than seeing the pingback excerpt, so people abandoned them. With Webmention, we're explicitly focusing on enabling the kind of rich interactions people do on social media instead. -

Recommendations on lightweight git self-hosting? I want something for my personal projects that is easy to maintain but still has a nice web UI for grabbing/cloning/PRs. Could do issue tracking separately if need be.
definitely Gitea. Been running it a few years now. -

I've uploaded a handful of photos to Google Maps and one of them is inexplicably getting a ton of views recently.
I added the photo in May 2018. It hit 10K views on Nov 5, 20K on Nov 19, 33K today.
That happened to me too! It's also funny that Google keeps emailing me about the stats.
Feels a little like the magic YouTube algorithm deciding to promote stuff randomly. -

Typosquatted Python libraries exfiltrating PGP and SSH keys https://www.zdnet.com/article/two-malicious-python-libraries-removed-from-pypi/
Same stuff as the event-stream incident, effectively. This is only going to get worse; object capability security is no longer an optional thing; we need it to survive as a society.
How does ocap help? Wouldn't the attacker just exfiltrate the ocap token?
Seems like a better idea would be to use a hardware security model to contain the private keys, only letting the machine use them but not copy them out. -

@aaronpk I am! For experimenting. But the Z-wave USB stick is too fiddly.
yeah, the weak link for this seems to be USB hardware. Thankfully I haven't had any trouble since switching to the Intel NUC -

@aaronpk between unifi’s software and synology’s, I mean. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The NAS is my only “server” unless you count a CloudKey and Apple TV. I think it’s time for a HASS box, though.
You could always run Home Assistant on the Synology NAS https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/synology/
