what was the difference? You needed one line to use it, and had no control over how much trash gets downloaded.

One requires installing software on your computer, the other requires only a text editor.

Not saying hotlinking 3rd party JS is a good idea, but it was a lot more accessible to experiment and learn that way.

Remember never having to unwind npm dependencies?

I literally don't know what this means and I'm okay with that

Finding reusable JavaScript components to drop into projects was so much easier when everyone was using jQuery

Remember when the instructions for using some random JS library was include this <script> tag and not npm install randomthingwith100dependencies

What was the last book that you read (not listened to) _truly_ cover to cover and what year?

Kill Process by @hertling, 2017. Thanks for reminding me, cause I need to go read the sequel now!

Show me worse UX than this:

see this is why I just never answer my phone. I have no idea what's going to happen if I touch it when it rings

Wow I checked that YouTube email again.

Thats almost 34 hours of videos made this year. 😬

Not bad for a side gig 😅

😮 3246 minutes for me, I guess all those livestreams add up!

What’s the desktop computer life like? I’m having second thoughts on the Mac mini. I’ve been a laptop only user for the last decade.

I mean my main reason for not having a desktop computer for the last 10 years has been that I'm always on planes. But that's clearly not the case anymore, so it's tempting.

I know bcrypt/hash+salt on server for storage has been best practice for ages. Or has client/browser side hashing before sending to a server been wide spread?

It's part of the old-school HTTP Digest Auth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication It just doesn't really solve things the way you'd expect.

Has anyone tried a password auth system that standardizes on some front-end hashing strategy, so that the API never sees/touches the plain text version of the password?

It's one of the oldest tricks in the books 🙃

This just seems to be buying a domain and hosting your own site instead of, for example, posting content on Medium or some other site. Am I missing something?

yes that, plus using your website as a home for other kinds of online content as well! This tweet for example is actually first posted on my website, and the Twitter version is just a copy of it https://indieweb.org/POSSE

Excellent thanks. What would be the 'next step'? If we could get social networks to have the tweets/comments ONLY be a link to your website what does that buy us? I appreciate the solution you have but it's about working within the current siloed approach

If you're talking about what existing silos can do to play better with the open web, there's no reason they can't also support webmentions natively

There are at least two social networks that use webmentions natively: https://micro.blog and https://pine.blog

As for the current siloed approach, that's exactly what we're doing right now, many of us with https://brid.gy

#indieweb folks. there are a ton of self hosted commenting systems. But what about a "universal comment" system? Where all of my comments, on any site I use, are just links back to my server. I own/host all of my comments. I'm assuming this has been discussed?

This sounds like what Webmention enables. This tweet for example is actually a copy of my reply to you that I've posted to my website. It works directly from site to site too of course.

What’s a good USB-C that has pass through power, extra ports, and media card slots?

The CalDigit TB3 is great https://geni.us/hucidG but it's Thunderbolt+DisplayPort, not USB-C+HDMI.

This Anker one is USB-C, https://geni.us/SHPKeJ1 but the HDMI is flaky with my 16" Macbook Pro.

Also images on the site should load much faster.

Techie details: I've added an image proxy, funneled images through it, and stood up Cloudflare in front of that. Should speed things up nicely without breaking my servers.

oh no, looks like you're using the same imageproxy as my reader, and it has a bug where it can't accept its own URLs 😆
