Security questions are never the right thing. Don't let the infosec bullies resort to ableist (good memory much?) tactics because they suck at UX. ❤️

Not to kick the can down the road, but we wouldn't even provide the option of a security question if people didn't ask for it 😦

@aaronpk Thanks — gonna try that myself. Even if it helps a little, it’ll be worth the effort.

I've been getting 1-2 calls a day for the last few weeks from this, always a company assuming I have some role based on my title that I definitely don't have. I really hope this makes it stop.

Oh god. Was there an exec who moved from @united to @okta? @aaronpk what happened to make this a thing? 😭

Ugh I know. The good news is the admin can disable security questions on the entire org if they want.

@aaronpk I'm going to do a livestream in someone's youtube channel. The live has been programmed and it's public, but doesn't appear in their channel, so people can't see it and add a reminder like in your channel. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

There's an option under "customize channel" to add a "featured section" that shows the next upcoming livestream. It takes a bit to find and youtube keeps rearranging stuff. Hope that helps!

Hm, weird, wonder if it updates at weird intervals or something.

It was hovering around that number during the stream too, really weird. I'm sure it's just some weird bug

@aaronpk Watching the recording of today’s livestream rn. I’ve seen reference to mystery low bitrates before from others. It’s certainly due to (nearly) static screens allowing the ATEM Mini’s encoder to reduce the bitrate dynamically without reducing perceptive quality, right?

Normally yes, and I regularly see low bitrates on my countdown screen and when sharing my computer screen. But it was showing that low bitrate even when it was on my regular video feed so it was definitely not encoding at that bitrate or it would have looked like trash.

This is fantastic! Makes me want to add these kinds of graphs and analytics to https://webmention.io itself!

Note to my fellow creators...don't release a video on the day of the Super Bowl unless it's about the Super Bowl. You'll regret it.

they scheduled the superbowl on my livestream day, I'm gonna do it anyway

How might I build a front end only Disqus-like comments section (i.e., add one line of JS, get comments on a page) with no centralized components, no blockchain, and no required authentication? Is there a decentralized key value store I'm missing?

If you had enough visitors always on the page you could "store" them in webtorrents, so that all the visitors to your site would be participating in storing all the comments.

Ended up getting an AJA KUMO 1616 12G instead. The VideoHub mod is expensive to ship and import to where I live. Very happy with the KUMO so far, it's small and fanless. It doesn't have any controls on the front panel, but the web interface and Companion do the job.

Ah very nice! I knew 16 wasn't going to be enough for me so I would have had to jump up to the 32x32 which is quite a bit more expensive

Sorting through my photo archives and it's possible that I may have traveled slightly too much in the past. Maybe.

haha same.

Tangentially, what do you use for photo archives these days? I used to use Flickr extensively but I'm not super happy with it anymore.

One of my guilty pleasures is waiting until one of our cats yawns, and then sticking my finger just inside their mouth so they unintentionally bite down on it. They look so confused and nonplussed, every single time. Never gets old.

(I’m probably going to pet owner hell. 🤷‍♂️)

omg I do this too! 😅

I too was surprised this was still a thing. Do you have a link to what you saw in MDN? Always good to have supporting evidence from a respected source that can help.

It is getting fixed! 👏 https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/1960

I'm very passionate about the debate on whether HTML is a programming language. Specifically my position is fuck the guys who come into these discussions just to gatekeep "real programming" and die on this hill. Instablocked.

I saw this and was like "honestly there's no way people are going to be still arguing about this"

... then I read the replies and omfg! so many new people to add to my block list.

I also went to go fix the MDN definition but saw someone beat me to it 😅

@aaronpk thank you for all the great content on OAuth that you have published!
Question: is it a big deal that the @ietf OAuth 2.1 draft has expired?

Thanks! Not at all, I’m actually going to be publishing a new version today. It just means that work on it has slowed down over the last few months.

Hit the point in the pandemic where we rewatch iZombie. It is SO good. Definitely my favourite entry in the "misfit teams up with police to solve crimes" genre

The misfit is a zombie who works in the morgue and sees visions of what happened when she eats a murder victim's brains

We were in the middle of it and had to stop watching at the beginning of the pandemic. Has it been long enough that we can continue watching now? It gets dark.
