@sonicrocketman - just been going through pine blog - and will be signing up - looks really neat - thank-you for the work - are there many micro bloggers registered there? I see @aaronpk and @manton there …

Interesting, I didn't sign up there or anything. I guess that means someone who uses it is following me?

I hate trying to take b roll of my gopros because they are always filthy 😬

I woulda assumed you just had a stockpile of b-roll footage of all your cameras when they were brand new that you'd reuse in every video?

It turns out that youtube-dl has a "--mark-watched" parameter that I believe will track the download as a view :)

ooh that's something

I have a small number of YouTube channels and creators that I enjoy following, but I really dislike the experience of using YouTube on the web and on iOS. So, I whipped up a script that automatically downloads YouTube content and adds it to my Plex server. So much better!

I was doing that for a while, but I want to make sure that my views are counted so that the creators get the credit (and ad revenue) and I'm not sure that downloading it that way still counts it.

I do pay for Premium so I can download in the YouTube app for offline watching, which does contribute to the view count.

There must be a way to make a new social media platform where everyone hosts their own data that's basically just run on RSS feeds. But supports comments, likes, sharing etc. Like RSS+.

There sure is!

Does anyone know, can the GH5S be powered while in use through the USB port or do you need a dummy battery?

@thisistechtoday you have a GH5S right?

I didn’t think it could but also I can’t remember the last time I tried. I have a dummy battery for it but now I’m gonna try the USB mode when I get home

Friendly competition: Has anyone seen a higher "cleaning fee" than this? 😂

@Airbnb has become basically unusable for me because the user set and company set fees end up doubling the nightly price

I've noticed if the listing is managed by a management company the cleaning fee is often higher than usual. The nightly fee is split with the property owner, but the cleaning fee is kept by the manager. Upping the cleaning fee means they can keep more.

The "car insurance" spammers have changed up their tactics! Now they tried to tell me they're an insurance company based in Los Angeles. When I pressed them and asked, "So I'm not allowed to know what company I'm talking to?" they finally hung up.

I get those calls too but I just hang up as soon as the robot says "car insurance" because I don't own a car 😂

Friends, is there a service that my dad can use to forward his landline number to his cell, permanently?

Both my parents ported their land line numbers to their cell phones and dropped their cell numbers.

Okay, be honest mobile users: how long did you spend spinning your device around on Aaron’s page

Allow video format on media endpoint

Hi, i don’t know if it’s already possible, may be it’s my media endpoint (php) who has a problem. When i try to file_put_contents('/tmp/media_debug.log', print_r($_FILES, true), FILE_APPEND); and upload a mp4 (3Mo) there is no output in my media_debug.log but with the images there is one as expected.

I took a look on the Quill’s code and it looks like he handle only images files i didn’t find anything for .mp4, .webm, .mov or .ogg files.

Thank you

Ps: send with Quill obviously :D
#Quill #micropub #media #endpoint #webm #mp4 #ogg #mov #video #upload

Quill doesn't currently handle video files at all. That said, there could also be an issue with your server rejecting the POST request because it is too big. Check your PHP settings to see how big the max file upload size is. Even still, I doubt it would work still because Quill's image handling is really meant just for photos right now.

Sorry to be thickheaded but how/why does adding Wyze Sense make it available in Node-RED. As near as I can tell, Node-RED doesn’t have any Wyze Sense nodes...?

Correct. Node-Red has a Home Assistant integration, and then anything you can make appear in Home Assistant will also be available in Node-Red

Dear @AmericanAir,

After arriving back to LA from Indonesia, I was $275 EQDs under (yet 25K miles over) from maintaining status. You asked me to pay $1875 (?!) to keep status, so instead I booked a $400 rt ticket to Mexico for 24 hrs. Here’s how my fucking night went...

I've gotten several of those @AmericanAir "offer" emails and they are always just so ridiculously high. I kept ignoring them and finally got one last one which was just "here let us give you status for free for 3 months plzzz"

Do you need to unblock it if you want to add another “appliance” or teach it additional IR commands?

Nope you can talk to it on your local network just fine. It doesn't need internet access to work!

Great article, Aaron! How do you block your Broadlink RM Mini’s internet access? Also, are you able to do Node-RED automations based on triggers from Wyze Sense devices?

Thanks! I blocked it in my home router. And yes the Wyze sensors have been great and I can create automations in node-red from them!
