I got some great comments and questions about my video setup from my colleagues at @snyksec. Everything I do (and have) I learned from @aaronpk. I sent around a bunch of links to your http://kit.co/aaronpk kits today!

Nice! Looking good!!

@aaronpk Not literally that fast, but Swift has moved really fast over the years. Swift written not long ago probably won't build anymore where Objective-c I wrote 10 years ago still builds! (Though Apple framework changes will still break code in any language over time)

in any case it sounds like there's a bunch of bugs in the latest XCode version, so I'm going to hold off on doing anything until they release an update. But then I will report back on how it goes!

Does Apple even let you publish something like that on their store? I saw that GPSLogger gave up on the Google Play store. I appreciate the privacy concerns with trackers but it'd be nice to have an exception for these "this data is for you" as opposed to adware.

There's a ton of apps like this, I don't think it's a problem. Someone ported my iOS app to Android recently even. Also from what I read in (your!) HN thread, the reason it was removed from the Google Play store had nothing to do with privacy? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735159

You sure thats the case? I have 1tb drive space on my mini and Xcode 13.2 took an hour to DL and actually never finished. Went on forever until I redefined forever to be Stop & End!

I mean my laptop has 14gb free right now and XCode is 12.6gb. I did just see all the headlines about issues with XCode 13.2 so I guess I'm gonna put off this project until they get that sorted out.

@aaronpk At least it's in Objective-c and not Swift. Swift code goes out of date weekly!

oh no does it? I think part of it is in Swift when a couple of other people contributed some stuff to it.

It's been over 3 years since I've published an update for Overland, my GPS tracker app, and I am a little terrified to re-download XCode and see how much work it's going to take to even make it compile now 😬 https://overland.p3k.app

also my poor little M1 MacBook Air doesn't have enough disk space to even download XCode, so I guess I'm gonna do that on an older computer. or buy a bigger macbook

I'm sure things changed after the federal push of boosters for all, but it was like pulling teeth to get a booster the first week of November.

weird, I got mine in October and I don't even think there was a special box to tick, just had to be 6 months after J&J

@aaronpk Pretty sure moving to the proprietary walled garden GitHub where a project's data has no escape route fails at least 7/11 of the #IndieWeb principles.
❌ Own your data
❌ Make what you need
❌ Use what you make
❌ Open source your stuff
❌ Modularity
❌ Longevity
❌ Plurality

I just agree with gargron that the tooling around a project doesn't need to blindly follow FOSS just for the sake of it. But I do realize I'm sending this to floss.social https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/107419999666450567

@aaronpk Wrong: The Discourse project offers free hosting to maintainers and has for many years: https://free.discourse.group/
Shilling for Microsoft is pretty far afield from the #IndieWeb ....

I think you'll find most of the IndieWeb community is not the die-hard FOSS fans. Open source is important, but is not an end goal in and of itself. There's plenty of examples of not open source IndieWeb software that happily interoperates with the open source software.

Cool cool, @Gargron moving all @Mastodon project discussion behind a proprietary walled garden that requires agreement with Microsoft terms of service (and their analytics tracking). Now THAT makes a ton of sense. 🤦‍♂️

Good. Less infrastructure for the project maintainers to maintain means more time to spend on the actual product. Running a Discourse instance isn't free, both in money and time.

This sounds super interesting! Have you written about it?

I haven't written anything specific about it because it's mostly a bunch of low-level gibberish around http signing and creating funny JSON blobs, but I did spin out the code into a standalone service I've used for other bots https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus

Yes and no, I know that I myself at least wouldn’t be happy to have the IndieWeb referenced as a “fediverse”, but then again, I’m a bit burnt after I implemented OStatus for Flattr back in the days only to see the very downside of a federated approach when it comes to longevity…

I've implemented ActivityPub directly into my website, so my website is its own ActivityPub instance in the Fediverse. So there's definitely some overlap and grey areas between the two, but yeah generally Fediverse refers to the ActivityPub model of many ppl on one instance.

Fully agree with this point. There is so much prior art about decentralization being ignored. But most of the fediverse/indieweb folks I see have not engaged with decentralization fans to say "we've got stuff that's better/cheaper/already works".

oh we've tried, but then the glowing eyeballs come out yelling and screaming and it just isn't a productive discussion for anyone

There definitely are others - I think ABQ and ATL come to mind where I’ve seen locals refer to the area/city by that same code.

Chloe’s right about SFO though :)

Oh yea I think I've heard that about ATL before, but didn't know about ABQ!

I think I've said "SF" a grand total of like 4 times, and I 100% agree that if someone said "SFO" I would in no way assume they mean the city

SFO is the airport code, not the city. If you tell me you're visiting SFO, I assume you're just having a layover.

Interestingly we do actually refer to the city of Portland by our airport code PDX but I realize we are an exception here 🤷‍♂️

Unpopular opinion: don't listen to what other people say is the best editing style for your videos, listen to your gut. Find an editing style that captures your most authentic self, not a style that "works on youtube", bc if it doesn't match with your vibe, it's not gonna work.

Love it! 👏

I've long wanted a tool to find friends who are in the same city as me

the convention of updating your Twitter bio is a nice start but easy to miss

so I mocked up a little app for pulling that data into a map. would anyone else use this if I built it? feedback welcome!

I miss Dopplr! I've been wanting something that could replace it for years, do it!
