i get that lighting and so on is highly variable, but for camera/teleprompter/screen i would pay a lot of money to not have to not wire it together myself.

put it all in a box with an optional tripod and they’d sell.

you say that, but even within the camera/teleprompter/screen category there's so many different options. Do you want a DSLR? webcam? How about the screen, is it a generic monitor? iPad?

I second the thoughts here and also vouch, definitely should chat with @aaronpk.

Speaking of which... I had the "meetup" recording pack pretty well organized (per many of Aaron's suggestions) and kept thinking, maybe this gets turned into a packaged option.

Yeah there's a lot to it, there isn't really a one size fits all which is likely why this isn't more packaged up. And even if there was, it'd be really expensive, likely way out of the price range of what people expect.

I got a youtube comment commending me on the content and precision of my videos, but he refuses to follow me because my icon has a mask on and I’m promoting something with such “low efficacy”. I just… I mean… there are SO MANY things wrong with that post. *sigh*

It's okay, youtube will follow you for him

That's ok Safari, use 220% of my CPU with no windows open. I totally wasn't using that CPU myself.

I was going to reply with something funny but there's something wrong with the markup of your feed and I couldn't respond in my reader, and by the time I found the permalink for this I forgot what I was going to say

@aaronpk Oh, very cool! Congratulations! That's huge. I'm working on a product myself these days, so I can appreciate the effort.

oh nice! Yeah it's a ton of effort, and the only reason I was able to pull this off is because I completely outsourced all the manufacturing and distribution of it!

I love the name of this! The PK1!

The search results are surprisingly easy to win! Also generic enough that I can use PK2 for a second version or for a completely different product later!

I do! I have an Ender 3 that I love. Print or buy, I want to do whatever makes @aaronpk the most money for developing an awesome accessory like this!

Go for it! The STL files are for sale at that link, and please also buy the screws and brackets and such from the affiliate links on that page too!

@aaronpk congratulations! But I feel old -- I went to your site and I have no idea what half the words there mean. I think it's something cool, though!

haha thanks! It's for a very specific audience, definitely not meant for everyone. It was a lot of fun to build though!

Gosh. Whoever made that list must've been mean.

I know, that guy is a real jerk. At least we never have to hear from him again.

I wish @aaronpk 's Watchtower/Aperture/Monocle was much simpler to install for anyone:
https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader

‪Me too! I've been thinking about rolling Watchtower into Aperture so it's just one app. Aperture is based on Laravel so there's plenty of tools and support for deploying that already. It's just a *lot* of work simplifying and documenting this stuff to make it easier for others.

You raise a good point :) but I don’t think I ever witnessed anyone GTFO’ing a Zoom without excusing themselves...

You are clearly on much smaller zoom meetings than I am 😅

I have been in meetings in which someone left slamming the door or similar shenanigans: but I have *NEVER* seen anything equivalent in Zoom.
Is it the medium, or just different circumstances? What’s your experience?

wait how do you make a sound loud enough to be recognized as a door slam while also actually leaving the meeting? It's a lot easier to just quietly disappear from a zoom

I had a gig in Hawaii cancel right as Covid hit. I personally HATE travel for work. The Pamdemic has shown me I don’t need to travel ever again.

And I’m happy about it.

Yeah Pam has shown me that I don't *need* to travel for work, but sometimes it's fun and I want to do the fun parts of it again

At the end you say to use local validation in the API gateway and "if" a particular API requires, then do the remote. Are you implying there are cases the resource server does not need to do any validation at all if the gateway already handles it?

Yeah, super context dependent of course, but imagine a read-only API method for returning the user's rewards points balance. Not terribly sensitive info, not likely to change often. The gateway validation is likely good enough.

I'm p sure a little RSS reader that has a little comment box and a “like” button under each item that send little web mentions would be the perfect set up for a wholesome, self-owned network

Yep! That’s basically how my current social media setup works. More details and links here: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader We need more people building these components, happy to help answer questions if you’re interested!
