Alright, I'm taking recs on home-cameras that aren't Nest. Because the quality of Nest just consistently degrades.

A 12-YO INTRODUCED ME TO HER ZOOM CLASS AS "THIS IS BEN. HE'S VERIFIED ON TWITTER WITHOUT A LOT OF FOLLOWERS." END OF BIO.

THAT'S A WRAP ON 2020. I'LL BE IN BED. LEAVE SANDWICHES OUTSIDE.

Lol it’s ok. I’m old too and my knee jerk reaction/gun-to-my-head reaction would also be MySQL and PHP mainly because that’s how I learned to code - by ripping apart php/mysql powered cms and e-commerce playforms. I know it inside and out.

If you were going to write a web app for content management (basic user access plus create, read, update, delete) what would you use to power the database? What would you use to build the logic interface?

So finally my ATEM Mini Pro has arrived yesterday and YES it is exactly as wonderful as the fables would have it! 🤩

I like how they copied stories from instagram and now shorts from tiktok. what's next?

youtube's answer to tiktok. 1080p vertical videos, 60 seconds or less, uploaded to your channel with the hashtag "Shorts" seems to be the key. Might not need the hashtag any more.

If I'm talking about something I script. If I'm doing something its off the cuff.

Scripting is more work up front but it saves me SOO much time in the edit.

About to switch from my Pixel 3 and FitBit (been using Android since the very first Android phone) to an iPhone and Apple Watch. Wish me luck.

Every time an Intuit recruiter reaches out (frequently for some reason) I ask them to describe the job, then I say “Sorry, I’m just not that into it. Heh heh heh.” and the joke just never hits.

B&H Dealzone - little LED Pad light for under $100, comes with a grid. LedGo makes some solid products. https://bhpho.to/32hY1Os - ends in 5 hours.

buy lights!

Atom content can be a MIME type. Carousels are a presentation option.

Don’t forget that RSS is by definition unable to evolve to include other richer post types than just blog posts. Atom you could start to shoehorn other things into by adding namespaces and such. But does anyone really want to keep writing XML?

Don’t forget posting things other than blog posts and text. You want to post a photo? Sure you could embed that in a blog post I guess. A video? now it’s getting tricky. Maybe use Atom enclosures? Posting multiple photos to be shown as a carousel like instagram?

Okay now we're getting somewhere. Likes I can do without. Some kind of support for discussion feedback is worth having, whether something from IndieWeb, or building off the original ping back servers, or a disqus-like thing. Yes, something beyond RSS/Atom but maybe not instead of

I used RSS/Atom for years without a hitch.

I stated my opinion. I'm not sure why RSS/Atom are insufficient when I see how many more moving parts are involved in IndieWeb. I'm not concerned with how that "looks". That's how I want it to look. If you give me better feedback than simply suggesting i go all in, that's welcome

I'm having trouble understanding why I would make the investment. I don't need to try it until I believe there's a reasonable chance at a payoff. I have too many other ways to spend my time.
