@aaronpk Building out my studio (thanks for all your info!).

If you bought a new camera today for streaming/video with $1k budget (body only is fine for dslr), what would you get?

The Lumix G7 is probably the best bet. $500 including a kit lens. https://geni.us/sJFt Then upgrade the lens to the Lumix 15mm or 12-35mm for better depth of field. Also get the usb battery for continuous power.

getting a laser printer was 100% worth the up-front cost. you know how much ink i've had to buy in the last year and a half? none ink

Right? They're not even that expensive anymore either! I've been carrying around mine for like 6 years now. I think I've bought one replacement toner.

Upload is a comedy but it’s like a legit passive critique of tech eating up everything and finding a way to charge for anything. Those without funds are forced to live at 10 minutes on the hour and you can’t even get clothes in some cases.

I watched through the first season of that wayyyyy too fast

Use the device flow for this, right @aaronpk?

Device flow is a good option for this. But the regular auth code flow and either automatically launching or just showing the URL to click on works too. Downside of that is the CLI app needs to spin up a web server to catch the callback. Device flow doesn't have that requirement

Need to patch Lighthouse to not have expiring tokens when attempting to send out Webmentions. I’m using JWTs (only because this inbuilt system is using that by default) and it’s a bit annoying to have this huge token string. Might consider implementing a simpler token that keeps data on the server so the client knows less

JWTs leaking info to clients is underrated

first few flights with the #mavicair2 today.

i never thought i'd say this but 4K60 is a minimum requirement in drones now. it effectively cuts your shooting time in half when you slow it down making it perfect for quick/safe flights to get coverage. i really love it.

whoa what are Canada’s drone laws that let you fly over cars like that!

So if set up a VPN server, which is what @alexlindsay was saying (I think) in my post on the Blackmagic forum.

if you just need a remote computer to control your studio ATEM, then running a VPN server in your studio and getting the client computer on your VPN will work great. That's a lot less involved than the full solution he was talking about.

Dang. I wonder… for security, could you have an IP address that forwards to your IP:port so that you don’t have to give out your real IP address? Like forwarding a URL?

not really... that's what a VPN is for tho!

I see. Am I correct though that the format would be IP:port? And the ATEM just won’t let you type that in? (At home, can’t access system now to test myself)

Yeah IP:port is a pretty typical convention but there's nothing magical about it and the software has to be able to recognize it. If you try typing ":" into the ATEM Software it just doesn't let you type the ":"

You tried accessing from another network? Cool! Can’t you though set the IP to include the port, something like 192.1.1.1:9910 — would the ATEM software accept that?

Yeah I just accessed my studio ATEM from home over the internet. The problem is the ATEM Software Control doesn't let you enter a port number, so your router can only forward port 9910 to one device on your network. I still wouldn't do this because the lack of authentication.

I could just do screen sharing too. Port forwarding should be the easiest, if it works.

Also keep in mind that port forwarding this is a bit dangerous since there's no authentication, anyone who discovers that port open could connect to it and control the ATEM.

I just tried it on mine and port forwarding on port 9910 does work. I don't think you'd be able to control more than one behind the router because there's no option to select a port in the ATEM Software Control tho.

Hey ⁦@alexlindsay have you ever configured an ATEM for remote (i.e. over the internet) control via port mapping?⁩ “Controlling an ATEM remotely” https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=57459&share_tid=118929&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Eblackmagicdesign%2Ecom%2Fviewtopic%2Ephp%3Ft%3D118929&share_type=t&link_source=app

I have this working between my two locations with a VPN instead of port forwarding. The nice part is it works both directions, I can control ATEMs on either side of the network from either side. Downside is it takes a bit of setup on two raspberry pis

IndieWebCamp Austin was nearly 6 months ago.

I'm so glad we pulled that off right before everything shut down!

my routine monthly blog post, for some reason, i don't know why, was on the top page. several people were confused that it covered multiple topics.

how dare you write about multiple topics you're interested in on your own website
