    Woah, thanks for dropping in! I’ve been using Overland all summer and have really enjoyed tracking my location. Any tips on optimizing for battery life?
    Aaron Parecki
    Glad you're enjoying it! Changing how often it sends data will have probably the biggest effect. Notice the two other top apps there, Outlook and Overcast, both of which are heavy background data users. Next up is desired accuracy.

    I've been using Overland lately but it seems to do a number on my battery life. https://github.com/aaronpk/Overland-iOS

    It's got plenty of knobs to turn if you want to increase battery life at the cost of collecting slightly less data. Most of the things on the settings screen adjust properties of CLLocationManager

    you can charge them for 15-30 minutes when you do anything in the evening (shower, movie, reading, etc.). They charge in just a moment. I don't know why you all make such a science about it.🤷‍♂️

    I've been wearing smart watches of various sorts for 11 years, and my experience has shown me that a device doesn't work for me unless the battery lasts for at least 4 days, preferably closer to 10.

    Could I train myself to be more proactive at charging? Yes. Do I want to? no.

    I love expanded health features, but I still don't understand sleeping with a smart watch.
    Aaron Parecki
    That's literally the only reason I want a smart watch, to track my sleep! Coincidentally that's the reason I can't get an Apple Watch, battery life is just crap.

    not sure, I only fly Delta :)
    Aaron Parecki
    in my experience it's specific to the wifi provider of the flight, for example gogo provides wifi on a bunch of different airlines and it worked the same for all of those

    Been bored on a few flights over the last few months that had spotty Wi-Fi, so I built a @raycastapp extension that hits the plane's onboard flight stats API and renders is as a dashboard.

    Any Raycast users out there? Should I publish this extension to the store?
    Aaron Parecki
    Never heard of it before but now I am interested!

    A while back I wrote a script that downloads this in-flight data and logs it, but now I just pull the data from flightaware for my logs :-)

    Some people will be able to make better videos by putting more time into an individual video.

    But I think that requires experience and talent.

    Most people will improve FASTER in the early stages by MAKING MORE so they can learn and get sharper, faster and smarter via EXPERIENCE
    Aaron Parecki
    💯

    It has taken me a *lot* of work to get over my tendency towards wanting to make each video "perfect", because they never will be and the only way to keep getting better is to keep making more!

    You heard that Cloudflare is now blocking KiwiFarms?

    well I did my (very small) part and migrated my two websites off of Cloudflare today. I'm sure my origin server can handle the extra 26gb/mo of traffic itself just fine.
    Aaron Parecki
    Update: a week later and traffic has fallen off of Cloudflare. Interestingly I don't see a corresponding increase on the origin server's bandwidth usage, but I do see more requests in the access log.

    YouTube by the Numbers:

    2.6B YouTube Users
    113M YouTube Channels
    28M Creators w/ < 100 Subs
    10M Creators w/ < 1K Subs
    2M Creators w/ < 10K Subs
    320K Creators w/ 100K+ Subs
    32K Creators w/ 1M+ Subs
    1100 Creators w/ 10M+ Subs
    35 Creators w/ 50M+ Subs
    5 Channels w/ 100M Subs
    Aaron Parecki
    So a channel with around ~50K would be in the top 1% of channels then!

    @aaronpk I’m not sure if it’s a new feature or if my computer just didn’t work right before — but the clicking on a comment to “undisplay” it is really nice! No need to remember to click “clear” anymore.

    Thanks again for a really slick way to highlight youtube chats. :)
    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! It's new as of a couple days ago! I just did a bunch of updates to it the other day. Let me know if you run into any issues with the changes!

    If you pick up the phone when they call, you're not connected to the 800#. You're connected to whatever number they called from. That's an autocaller script. Once you press 1 or 2 or whatever, it forwards you to the person who is doing the actual scam via VOIP.
    Aaron Parecki
    Right so this isn't a voicemail based scam, it was just an accident that it left a voicemail then

    seriously. Not to mention the years of very specific training data I've provided to the system, why won't it learn!

    That’s a new scam. I got this voicemail. Looked up the number and it didn’t show up as anything, so I called back anyway. “Party line”. Probably charged me $20 per minute for the three seconds I was one. Damnit.
    Aaron Parecki
    Wait, 800 numbers by definition charge the owner of the number not the caller. What happened now?
