    @aaronpk But OBS is free

    Aaron Parecki
    but the premise of the question was to avoid using OBS ๐Ÿ˜‡

    @aaronpk ya but ATEM is expensive

    Aaron Parecki
    $195 for the base model will do it! That's certainly a lot less than the computer cost!

    @aaronpk I am a proud owner of a beach tent which was sent to us unsolicited and unannounced in order to get a good review I believe.

    Aaron Parecki
    well that's a thing.

    It is slightly different tho because them sending you a $150 object doesn't actually cost them $150. This is an offer of straight up cash.

    @netwolfuk not without obs or a virtual camera

    Aaron Parecki
    or you can add the graphics on an external device like an ATEM Mini! No extra CPU load, your computer sees it as just a webcam.

    @rabble @aaronpk i'm more curious about how you set up cross-posting tbh; the "Applications model" page in their docs has a reasonable example to create a post but i wish there was more detail about each method. i post a lot of pics and it seems like there's support for blob uploads but i can't find documentation on how to hook everything together

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah the docs are rough around the edges still. One tip I got was to look at the tests for examples! https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/pds/tests

    I just did text posts for now, next step will be image uploads.

    @aaronpk where is the docs on the custom domains. I couldnโ€™t find it in the app. Just folks talking about doing it.

    Aaron Parecki
    There's no docs yet, but some people figured out the right API calls to run on their account outside the app. It wasn't too hard, but they're going to add a UI to the app for it soon so there's no point in writing up the workaround instructions anyway

    Idea: Micropub Browser Extension For Replies

    Aaron Parecki
    It's a great idea! I did a lightweight version of that which is a bookmarklet in my browser toolbar to Quill, where it prefills the reply URL to the page I'm on. It's how i reply to most tweets now actually! (https://quill.p3k.io)

    @aaronpk gotosocial is that easy too.

    Aaron Parecki
    It looks nice! But I'm talking about as easy as adding a DNS record without having to run my own instance at all. Are there many hosting providers for GoToSocial?

    In AP, to use your own domain as your actual identity, you pretty much have to run your own full on instance. You can get half way there with the WebFinger setup so people can search, but even that is harder than a DNS entry. BlueSky got the split between domain and underlying identity and service right.

    I've heard so many horror stories of YouTube channels getting hacked. What are some steps to prevent this from happening with my own channel? Can I do anything beyond 2-step verification to prevent this? I have multiple channels.

    @YouTubeLiaison
    Aaron Parecki
    The majority of these hacks happen because the victim runs a program they got from a sketchy source. Could be a fake OBS download, could be a fake brand PR contact. Reading emails in gmail is fine, but don't open any attachments other than jpgs. Sadly 2fa doesn't fix this.

    Only answer emails from a Chromebook, NEVER use a Windows computer to do it, create separate sock puppet accounts for different channels and social profiles. Get a Titan security key, but realize it doesn't stop browser intercept attacks which are happening through brand dealโ€ฆ https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1632543340729352194

    I use DoorDash too often probably and feel like I can spot a cloud kitchen from the name/image. Iโ€™ve never had a solid experience from a cloud kitchen. Glad theyโ€™re adding an indicator!
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm not a big customer of food delivery apps but I did order a burrito this week on DoorDash from a place that I assumed was a ghost kitchen by the name, but it turns out it was a food truck!

    True, but it would be tricky.

    Wouldnโ€™t the attacker have find a way to extract the code_verifier from local storage and pass it along with the hijacked redirect?

    They would have to somehow have the ability to write custom js code on the path they are redirecting to. I guess this is possible on sites that donโ€™t sanitize user inputs.

    Aaron Parecki
    I was thinking the attacker makes up their *own* `code_verifier` and injects that into the first open redirect

    Could using PKCE fix this issue?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yep! This is exactly the kind of thing PKCE prevents! With PKCE, even if the open redirect were in place, the attacker wouldn't have been able to do anything with the stolen authorization code.

    Although now I'm thinking this through and if the open redirects are really open enough, you could probably still pull something off even while using PKCE.

    Ever wanted to use your own choice of OIDC IdP with @tailscale? I'm looking for private alpha testers - new and existing users welcome. DM me!

    Aaron Parecki
    I would love to check this out actually, I'm working on some documentation to help companies like Tailscale adopt features exactly like this!

    I don't have a way to DM you on mastodon but you can email me! https://aaronparecki.com/contact/

    Finally took pics of the @Delta Parallel Reality experience. TL;DR, you scan your BP and a smart billboard uses face recognition to present your information just to you, using a parallactic display to ensure your text can only be seen from your position.

    Oh but they already have multifactor auth in their login page!

    Username, password, and that "last name" box that pops up right before you're about to click log in, which also breaks password managers ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    A bit confused as to how it interacts with #fediverse - rival paradigms? Interoperable? Just totally different things? #indieweb

    Aaron Parecki
    I don't know what you'd call it, but I built ActivityPub support directly into my website so I can exist on the Fediverse from my own site.

    So basically you usually need a news helicopter?

    Yeah the pilot license for a helicopter is a totally separate thing from the "remote pilot license" you get for a drone
