    Since Instagram *still* doesn’t let you put clickable links in posts… I’m looking for a service that replicates the grid with links to anywhere so it’s easy to find the post you were just looking at and tap to go that YouTube video. Any favorites?

    I remember looking for these a while ago, there's a ton of them, but I ended up making my own with some simple HTML/CSS template I found https://aaronpk.tv/links/

    @aaronpk Pixelfed? https://pixelfed.org/

    maybe? That's still way more social network-y than what I actually want, which is sharing photo albums with select people.

    also, the tools for managing photos are extremely limited, like not being able to adjust modification dates of photos, and not being able to choose sort order within albums

    I decided to try out NextCloud for this, it mostly works, but has some weird things:

    • The new dashboard view is completely useless for this use case
    • It's weird that I'm giving people an entire toolset just to be able to look at photos

    Hello internet friends!

    What is the best way to share a set of photos with a select few people, while being able to add more photos over an extended period of time? Must not rely on creating an account like on iCloud.

    I have my own thoughts but I am interested in other ideas!

    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.

    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.

    @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.

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