@aaronpk I enjoyed your youtube broadcast about video conferencing from home. Might have to up my game with some new gear.

Careful, it's quite a rabbit hole! 😂 A fun one though for sure!

@aaronpk Oof, wish I had known about the lifetime pass. I spent $180 on monthly passes before canceling.
I don't mind paying for stuff but Plex is just so far beyond what I need. I have media files on a server, I want to stream them to a few devices. I don't want to sign in and have all these other extras.

yeah it's definitely a lot. One of my favorite features is that it can download files to my iPad so I can watch while offline, which is great when I'm on planes. I feel like this all got harder to do with mobile devices, it used to be pretty straightforward using just computers.

@aaronpk I just feel like I hit walls at every turn. I was just prompted to pay $4.99 so I could play media from my local network on my tablet. They're targeting a niche that's Not Me.

as like an in-app purchase? Yeah that's a tough problem, they need revenue somehow, and I'd rather pay them than have them sell ads to me. I bought the lifetime pass several years ago and I haven't been bothered with prompts since then.

@aaronpk I love the great quality of content and video/audio on your videos.
I'm helping out with https://foss-north.se/ which we now moved and are doing as a online conference with all the speakers via zoom, I'm mostly worried about their audio setup.

Thanks! Yeah the audio is really important. Easiest thing to tell the speakers is to use a headset, even Apple headphones are better than nothing.

Is there a macOS utility app to show world time zones relative to your local time zone?

Every time a client or colleague uses time zone abbreviations I find myself googline the time in that zone and doing the difference calculation myself. There has to be a better way 😅

I started using Dato for this reason!

Someone who follows me on this site must know how to do tooltips on a static site right?
https://stayinghome.club needs tooltips in a powerful way.
I’ll drop a thank-you link on the site (140k uniques and counting) to anyone who can solve this.
RTs appreciated.

My gotos for tooltips are either the HTML "title" attribute (built in to the browser), or Bootstrap. Not sure what is particularly unique about it being a static site? Or am I not understanding what you mean by tooltips?

Does it matter having a domain email address anymore? I almost feel weird not having @gmail in my address. It used to be so professional to have a domain email. Now people get confused lol

Every time I tell my email address to someone ... "aaron at parecki dot..." they say "wait, aaron dot parecki at what?"

Remote worker tip: after testing oodles of options the best off-the-shelf webcam is the Logitech Brio for improving how your video meetings look. It runs on USB-C, which also makes it very easy to plug into a newer Mac without any additional software https://amzn.to/3cJECcT

Dang that looks a lot better than the Logitech C920 I've been using for years!

a broken clock is right twice a day but a neglected working clock is right half of the year

Thanks to the changes in DST, now it's right either 4 or 8 months of the year 😂

Still can't believe they changed the dates and didn't just get rid of it entirely.
