    This did not age well. For the record: my opinion has wildly changed.

    Y'all have 6-minute videos that only take 3-4 hours to edit?!
    Aaron Parecki
    I was gonna say... my current rate is 1 hour work for 1 minute of finished video. I'd be thrilled to spend 3 hours on a 6 minute video much less 1 hour on it!

    I’ve been thinking this recently too! Horrible air quality is… horrible.
    Aaron Parecki
    It's so bad, and it's bad in a way that's really hard to describe how bad it is to anyone who isn't also experiencing it

    Love playing the guessing game of "do I feel like crap because I have covid or because the air has been 150 AQI for the past five days" 🙃

    The good news is there is a test for one of those and it came back negative

    I just discovered that a gliding club in New Zealand wrote software to receive the GPS data that my iOS app collects and they recommend it on their website for tracking flights! https://gliding.co.nz/overland-for-iphone-setup/
    Aaron Parecki
    p.s. if any iOS developers are interested in a project, I could use some help updating the app to the latest Apple APIs! Looks like there are a bunch of new things in CoreLocation that I should be using for this app.

    Dishwasher: "E24"

    Us: "wtf is E24?!"

    Google: "dishwasher is not draining. The filter may need to be cleaned."

    Us: "filter?? There's a filter?!"

    Dishwasher: ...

    @aaronpk They've gone with a Google photos-like layout. I like this although it's ironic as years ago when they first released a photos app, I argued they should take this direction, but they were enamored with the "everything must be square" "crop all the things!" approach.

    The new app also has object / person recognition.

    Looks like I'm a few versions out of date, so here we go!

    @aaronpk #Nextcloud's new photo app is nice (the one in Nextcloud Hub 3). It is self hosted, but there's many places that will host Nextcloud for you, often for free with a limited space.

    Aaron Parecki
    I do already run a NextCloud for a few things, I might have to update it and see how the new app is

    I share vids and stuff with an Azure storage account and set a SAS key with an expiration. Then share the url.
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm glad it works but that sounds like the most convoluted way to solve this 😅

    @aaronpk If you do not want to create an account it means they are shared publicly, or you can password protect them. But if you want to add more to the mix, then this idea sounds like a nightmare for any server admin. Imagine bots adding lots of messedup photos to your server, constantly.

    Thus you either need a file sharing without account solution, like send.trom.tf/ - you add the photos/files, you put a password if you want, you share. Or by far the best is Nextcloud. files.trom.tf/ - create a quick account and add your photos, then add more, then share as you wish. If you need more storage space let me know. We extend it for those who want. All is free of course.
    Aaron Parecki
    Creating *an* account isn't a showstopper, I just don't want people to have to create an account on an existing ecosystem that they aren't already in.

    yes i ran it from my laptop with ngrok and basic auth on apache

    Nice. That's looking like it might be the simplest option. The design is nice

    maybe not the best way but i had a good experience with waschinski/photo-stream on github (jekyll)
    Aaron Parecki
    Looks nice. And then put it behind a password of some sort? Have you tried that before?

    We use hightail for distributing audio/ video & artwork files - You could use that. You can send a group folder and have work spaces - You can also have password protected files/links.
    Aaron Parecki
    Hm that looks nice but may be a bit more "pro" than what I'm looking for in this case

    Honestly, probably a private group message on your app of choice. iCloud can share no-account-required photo sets via iCloud link, but you can’t add to the link over time and would have to reshare. Otherwise you could go old-school and self-host a photo page behind a password.
    Aaron Parecki
    Going old school may end up being the best option to be honest

    Do you need them to be able to add to the folder too?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nope, but commenting would be nice but is definitely not a requirement

    A shared link to a folder
    Aaron Parecki
    It's interesting to think about the threat model difference between someone accidentally sharing the link vs someone sharing their account info to leak the data
