Question.
Company sends you product pre-Kickstarter to review. You determine it’s absolute crap and tell them so. Then they launch the Kickstarter anyway and raise $$$ with what must be fake results. Do you do everything you can to destroy their Kickstarter?

Let's put it this way. It takes an incredible marketing effort to run a successful kickstarter regardless of the quality of the product. Do you think you can put as much effort into a counter campaign?

Yikes. Yeah I would just nope out of the whole situation. There may be other factors involved you don't want to be a part of.

@aaronpk it looks like http://websub.rocks has fallen into disrepair. When trying to test a Subscriber I'm writing I saw a lot of the same issues that are Open on the GitHub repo. Any way I can help?

Was going to see if it's worth standing up my own instance of it to debug.

It definitely needs some updates, I just haven't had a lot of time to deal with it lately. Any help would be much appreciated! Unfortunately likely the first step is to update all the dependencies to run under PHP 8.1, which is my least favorite kind of project.

Tomorrow, I am going to attempt something extremely risky... going live from the expo hall floor at #NAB2022 right when it opens! Will I have enough cell signal to squeak out a stream? Will my wireless camera and mic work? We will find out at 10am!

I went down there this evening when it was completely empty and my speedtest showed 450mbit down and 50mbit up on my 5G, so we'll see what happens once it's full of people, but that's promising!

Fun fact: the tallest stone structure in the world (ie, only stone, no sneaky steel beams inside), is only 170m tall (555 feet).

It's this one.

Oh hey I was just there yesterday

What's a beautiful or interesting thing you have in your home that you'd recommend to others?

It's not for everyone, but I am delighted by the Vestaboard every day.

Also today is my last day in the Army!

It’s been a crazy 12 years with a lot of ups and downs, but suffice to say I definitely would not be the person I am today without serving.

I don’t think it’s hit me yet, I’m sure it’s going to be a crazy couple of weeks 🤣

congrats! does this mean you’re going full time youtube or moving on to something new?

People should come with semantic versioning.
That would make it extra clear when you are dealing with a version with breaking changes vs the version you used to know

There's definitely a song in here somewhere

Just wait until he buys your hosting provider

I mean, then I'll move hosting providers, that's kind of the point ☺️

Yeah, but how do you subscribe to your mutuals on your website? And how do they answer you? I know there is ATOM/RSS, Tracebacks/Pingbacks and Comments. But how to add the latter to Static Sites?

there's a *lot* of space between Twitter and static sites. But if you really want to go with a static site deployment model, there's lots of options for adding dynamic bits to make them work more like twitter: https://indieweb.org/static_site

I've seen people code in notepad.

One time I wrote some HTML templates in Word and used mail merge to generate 100 static HTML files from the rows in Excel

AWS SSO opens a browser with the code embedded as a query param, then you login to your account, while the CLI is polling for changes from AWS to get a valid auth token after authn is done. I use `open <uri>` on macos for this.

Yep, that's the OAuth device flow! That's how I would expect to see it in most places now.

“Open the browser and enter the following code” isn’t usually how these flows work.

Some do! But further down it says the CLI app can launch the browser on the machine if it has the ability to do so. Same flow under the hood tho.

The other option is for the CLI app to spin up a web server on localhost to catch the redirect https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/07/16/oauth-2-command-line

Have you tried the airport’s own website?

This is the best suggestion so far but is sort of hit and miss depending on the airport

I can't seem to get any results in google without also telling it a departure airport
