    I taught a class today to a room of artists about how websites work, and how to make one. It restored my faith in the open web, because everyone instantly got it.

    I'm of two minds about this, as a kid who screwed around construction sites 50 years ago. You did provide them with a story to tell. If you had a speaker that said, "Intruder alert. Killer robots activated," it would have been an awesome story.

    I just got to scare the crap out of some kids who were climbing around my construction site by triggering a 12v siren from Home Assistant, and watched the whole thing on the remote camera feed! It was oddly satisfying, and I hope they get the message not to come back.

    255gb sounds like an enormous thumb drive! That’s like the base level HD for a whole laptop (from some companies…)
    Aaron Parecki
    It's really not bad, like $20-30 for a 256gb thumb drive from reputable sources. They don't have to be as fast as the SSD in a laptop.

    Aaron Parecki
    hah I hadn't really planned on turning it into a service, but now I'm kind of tempted to set up a site where you can log in and buy a USB drive with your Flickr data that I'd ship to you!

    I just finished downloading my whole Flickr account to a static website. Now browsing around it is much faster than looking at the same photos on Flickr, and it makes me want to get back to actually organizing my photos again!
    Aaron Parecki
    After downloading all the different resolutions Flickr has, it turned into 255gb on disk. Not bad, would even fit on a thumb drive.

    Here's the source if you want to try this yourself!

    I’ll talk to DVE store, but there’s a disconnect between the assembly instructions and the parts list. The parts list says only two drop in M4 nuts are provided, but the assembly PDF says extra nuts are provided to install additional accessories.
    Aaron Parecki
    There should be a separate little bag in the kit with M5*8 screws and two M5 slide-in nuts. We can send that to you if it's missing! Good point that it's missing from the parts list though.

    Interviewed a full stack developer and he couldn’t even write a program to detect if another program would ever halt or not. I mean come on. He’s so dependent on running the program and seeing if it halts, he was totally lost without it

    @aaronpk Just assembled the PK1 Pro Streamer stand for the Atem Mini Extreme ISO. It mentions it comes with replacement bolts to attach the Smallrig 1842 monitor mount, but there are no nuts to screw those bolts into. Nothing mentioned in the instructions.
    Aaron Parecki
    hmm it should have come with two slide-in nuts for that. Send an email to the store you bought it from and we can fix it!

    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?
    Aaron Parecki
    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/

    Reminder that you should own & host your content (if you can) - even if you use socials to amplify it, social media shouldn't be where it lives - Twitter, Instagram, etc are ephemeral and so incredibly short form and gets swept away in a raging river of content.

    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

    basically I just want Flickr but self hosted 😭

    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!

    It's here! The PK1 desktop stand for the YoloLiv Instream vertical livestreaming box! The stand holds the Instream at the perfect angle to use it on your desk! Now you don't have to awkwardly mount it from the side on a tripod, or have it laying flat!

    Shipping now! https://pk1.tv/pk1-instream-stand/
