I don’t understand.

It's not a good argumentative technique:

"A straw man is a form of argument ... based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent."

Oh, how is it particularly evil or capitalist to have the concept that something existed before something else?

because it's literally defined as existing before health insurance. don't strawperson this argument.

@aaronpk what was the name of the controller app that you use on your iPad for the ATEM Mini?

It's called Strata Macros! I talk about my workflow with it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNzU-TPdxR4

I'm trying to route sound from a Focusrite audio interface through the headphone output and lightning adapter into an iPhone to use with the video app, but it's not detecting the signal as a microphone
Am I out of luck?

you might need one of those TRS-TRRS adapter cables, but I'm not actually sure how the iPhone deals with the headphone level rather than the normal level from mics

I wonder if it's related to this notification I got in December 2019?

Yes very likely. The problem was it wouldn't let me add an app specific password even. The problem cleared up later so they clearly made a mistake rolling that out.

@aaronpk No, I think the github oauth + limiting to a single user would work fine. I just wonder why you didn't start with a naive user+password table first. Sure, doing proper and secure auth is not trivial.

I just don't like passwords, and most of my uses of this are for multi-author editing where I definitely don't want people to have to have another password. I suppose the password option is easiest for a single-user setup though.

@aaronpk yep, just me as the single author. Public, but read-only.

That's definitely a challenge with a web UI for editing then. I see why you were looking for something where you create events by making files on disk, that removes that concern.

You could use the "remote user" auth option to set that header in your web server by matching your home IP address or something.

I'm also open to suggestions for how to make this work better in this kind of single-author case because it's not uncommon!

@aaronpk looks pretty neat. The auth options seem overkill for my single-user use case. Is there a month/week calendar view? (not really crucial, but I kinda had that in mind)

By single-user do you mean you want to install it in a completely closed environment? Events are added via the web UI so some sort of auth is needed for that.

There's no month/week view right now but I would be open to adding that!

Dear lazy web, I'm looking for a static site generator with support for events, i.e. should output a page with calendar view, an iCal/ics file, rss/atom for newly added and updated events. Any hints?

I know this doesn't quite meet your criteria, but I've been building Meetable as a minimal events website, I'm running three copies of it successfully now. https://github.com/aaronpk/Meetable

I bought the iPhone SE for review purposes only... then I fell in love with the home button, size, and overall value of the SE so much... I decided to purchase one for myself! I maxed out the storage and chose the color I prefer: all black

I’m so tempted to get one too, I’m just struggling with the fact that my iPhone XS will sell for around the same cost as the SE.

I saw and linked in my post, that's super encouraging! Also, I'd be curious what % of their customer base is Windows vs Mac - I thought all photo nerds were Mac, but probably just showing my crazy bubble bias

I'm guessing this is more targeted at gamers which is why they went Windows first

Oy. I might just get a lamp and call it a day 🤷‍♂️

Actually just last week Canon released new software that lets some of their cameras work as webcams over USB! Only on Windows for now though.

every inexpensive option I look into requires this thing, and it is $345!!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K3FN5MR/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_fffTEb9NGQKD3

Why did you make me care about this stuff, Aaron?

It's supposed to be $99 but they're out of stock everywhere so people are selling them used at ridiculous markups. There are a few off-brand ones that work, but I haven't tested any myself.

Initial impressions of the Sennheiser MKH-416.

This thing is a gain eater, I’ve pushed my XLR device to it’s almost max and there is no background hiss.

This microphone is crazy. 🤯

Don't make me buy this mic Gary
