#Peertube? *makes puppy dog eyes*

I think I would rather self-host the videos on my own website. I'm playing the YouTube game just for fun anyway.

Great news - my frontend can do the onboarding procedure! It successfully uploads my h-card and posts a “first post” to the blog, so it won’t be empty.

For now I didn’t do authentication yet. I’m still thinking if I should do password+TOTP auth, just a password or a WebAuthn. Or maybe I could just use indieauth.com directly, but that needs at least one social profile in the h-card, which is not guaranteed right now.

My vote is for WebAuthn! With the built-in OS support it's definitely the easiest to use. The only trick will be enrolling multiple devices with it.

After six months of writing, producing, mixing, auto-tuning, shooting, editing, re-shooting and re-editing... I finally finished the passion project I’ve been most excited about in a long time! “Gear Guy” is finally live and I can’t wait for you to see it!

Finally had a minute to watch this after staring at the notification all day and this is everything I wanted it to be and more 😂😂😂👍👏

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’ve been watching Mandalorian all week and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s ok, but it’s not great. The baby Yoda is cute and all, but given the excitement on Twitter I was really expecting more.

I've uh, only watched the first episode, so I am firmly in the camp of oh my god baby yoda is the cutest 😍

What are some IT things you have been asked to do today with your family? Mine was cleaning my grandma’s iPhone and fixing iCloud storage issues.

Thankfully I got out of that business ages ago 😅

Indieweb folks: where do you actually host your stuff? Not Github, presumably?

GitHub for anything I expect people to collaborate with me on. I also run Gitea on a server at home for my private repos.

@aaronpk the next step is writing a book proposal!

Or Kickstarter and self publish? I'll help with the print layout!

Well, that's it! I successfully spent 2019 reading and blogging about each of the first 365 RFCs.
I have more posts to come, including some related research that didn't quite fit with the RFC-a-day format, and an interview with the brilliant outgoing RFC series editor, Heather Flanagan.

You're gonna publish this as a book right?

I always do post work. and the live show has a gate but that’s not good enough for recorded content.

Gotcha. I was completely blown away by how effective that expander is! I hadn't used one before. I live above traffic and there are multiple server fans in my office and it did an amazing job with it.

I recently learned what an audio expander is (because ATEM Mini has it built in via Fairlight audio controls), and now I want a dedicated expander for recording in my studio. There’s quite a few on the market; any specific preferences, recommendations, or things to watch out for?

Your audio has always sounded fine to me. Do you clean it up in post to get rid of the fan noise? Or wanting to be able to tolerate new background noise?

Frankly no I don't trust everyone's blogs to get the event markup right. There's a lot of fields, and a lot of ways it can go wrong. IndieNews works this way and it's hard enough for people to get that right, and that's just a name or content property.

I'm going to add an "Import Event" button to load an event from a URL with Microformats, so if you want to you can post the event on your site and import it, but it will preview what it found before actually creating the event.

The other factor is that one of the primary goals of this site is to lower the barrier for people hosting events, and that means not making them think about markup at all.

@aaronpk Congratulations on moving a big piece of IndieWeb infrastructure forward a generation or so :-)

I’m curious about your decision to omit timezones from multi-day events; won’t that cause those events to show up incorrectly for people on the other side of the International Date Line?

Yes and no.

If you want to attend an event in Portland on June 29th, and you live in Japan, and you add that event to your calendar with no timezone, your calendar will record it as "June 29th". That means no matter what timezone you switch your phone to, it will always show up as the right date.

It only fails if your phone adds a fixed timezone to it such as the timezone of your current location. In that case, it will show up at a different time once you change timezones.

Also this is not unique to the date line, it happens with any timezone change. The important thing is that if there is no timezone, calendar apps need to treat it as a "floating" or "local" time and always display the stated time of the event completely ignoring timezones.

The case where it doesn't work is if you want to remotely attend an event in a different timezone. That's why for short one-day events that are likely to have remote participants, I recommend setting a timezone on the event. But for multi-day events, you're going to have to look up the starting time on the actual schedule anyway, so you'll figure out the timezone conversion at that point instead.

Any ideas on how to get a twitter name from a dead account? Dude has 1 follower and no tweets and no profile pic.
