Totally, for sure. And maybe if I was a nefarious feed reader startup founder I might do something like that!

Frankly that's the reason I never added it to Aperture and never recommended anyone else do either. It's a naive practice left over from a much more trusting era before people were thinking with a security mindset.

3. Indieweb readers don't seem to announce the number of subscribers in HTTP GET calls, unlike other readers.
4. Feedly seems to have an order of magnitude more users than any other reader (or for some reason my readers are all clustered there).

Also keep in mind that subscriber stats reported via user agent are 100% not a reliable source of info, I could make it look like Aperture has a million readers of your blog if you want

@aaronpk I was confused, did a search, and can only assume it’s the controller unless you mean something else new I can’t find???
I have it but have been underwhelmed because I’m not going to rebuy games on Stadia. Actual usage is good.
I also enjoy NVIDIA Shield and GeForce Now subscription to play all my Steam games.

Same, they sent it to me for free for some reason so I was curious. I'm gonna give it away though.

I signed up for FedEx and UPS delivery notifications to my address or whatever they call them, and now it's just a guess as to what will show up when I get a notification that something from "IMCLS" is arriving next week

UPDATE: It was a package from Google with the new Stadia console and Chromecast!

To transfer money to friends, I have to enter my bank password in all of these different origins (e.g. transferwife, google pay). The only line of defense seems to be SMS OTP verification. Shouldn't banks be the most advanced in online security?

😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣

we'll get there eventually

@aaronpk I think I remember hearing on one of your streams that you replaced the fans in the Videohub 20x20, but I can't find any info on that on your channel, maybe I've missed it? I'm considering buying the Videohub, but noise is an issue for my use-case. Thanks!

Last week was the first time using it with the new fans, so I haven't talked about it much more than that yet! This is the mod kit for it though if you're interested https://store.nebtek.com/video-router/561-quiet-on-set-kit-bmd-20x20-videohub-mod.html It's not perfectly silent like the Hyperdeck mod, but it's still worth it

For sure, and I 100% agree with the matrix folks. Moxie's argument basically boils down to "it's easier to make the trains run on time with a centralized service." 🤔

Yep he's not wrong, and I understand that argument from a product design standpoint. But I also disagree with it for all the reasons in that Matrix post!

SimCity 2000 + SimCopter + Streets of SimCity was such a glorious trifecta from Maxis. Like... the fact that you could import your cities into the other two games and either fly around them doing rescue missions or drive around them blowing stuff up... incredible

I miss those so much!

Feature request: GMail filtering of not just spam, but nazis, too. Not for (just) my inbox, but for the millions of people who are getting inundated with toxic garbage every day.

I was thinking about this the other day... if anyone was in a position to “fix” Twitter, it’s Gmail with their spam filter. It doesn’t assume any one piece of content is absolute spam or not, spam is relative to the recipient.

Oh really? I hadn’t heard about that. It’s been amazing for youtube stuff. And if any wankers join your room it’s easy to boot them. Hit me up if you need an invite.

Yeah it was back in September which is like at least two years ago so maybe they figured it out

Multidock is like $595. SSD 2TB around $199 each. Wall mount, around $100.

Cheaper than most other options and more useful.

that does sound pretty solid tbh

Smaller scale but I have $10k in Bitcoin locked in an encrypted file that I also lost the password to. Bought it for like $100 8 years ago. I can try as much as I want but no luck yet. Keeps me up sometimes.

Even smaller scale, in 2014 I converted some dogecoin to 0.05 BTC, then moved the BTC into a brainwallet. I have not been able to remember the key ever since. Now it's worth $1600.

@aaronpk how many printers have you got?

Just one! Prusa Mini. If this goes well after some more time we'll see how many more I end up with 😅 Maybe a resin printer next?
