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.

Oh no. What did Cloudflare do now?

Really undercuts the “promises” of aggressive data collection and ad surveillance. Dumb ads would be just as good.

Tonight I am running a livestream for @kmikeym's charity poker game, and it is quite the mess of routing video signals in order to delay the broadcast of the game 15 minutes but also have the commentators live with the chat! https://live.kmikeym.com

Hell of a setup there. Super cool

I will neither confirm nor deny that I did exactly that.

Circle circle, dot dot, I just got my (first) Covid shot.

It felt surreal when I was next in line, realizing I had been waiting a whole year for this and it was actually finally happening.

That’s so awesome! So many people I know are getting vaccinated! We’re finally climbing out of this hole!

I was going to reply with something funny but there's something wrong with the markup of your feed and I couldn't respond in my reader, and by the time I found the permalink for this I forgot what I was going to say

I think I found the issue. Pushed a fix. The timeline on the homepage had the wrong u-url.

Hmm. Do you know which feed? The h-feed?

Just FYI, that new UI and iOS App launched last night! Check it out!

It took 20+ years to dig this hole. It will take just as long (or longer) to dig our way out.

Aaron Parecki

oh no, looks like you're using the same imageproxy as my reader, and it has a bug where it can't accept its own URLs 😆

Looking better?

Rolling out the fix now. I can just remove the cache for outward-facing images. I forgot that they're already behind Cloudflare anyway. Thanks for the notice.

Oh no! That's actually hilarious. We should pair on the fix. I don't know Go, but I'm sure we can figure it out.

Aaron Parecki

Sadly I think most people don't, which is how Spotify is getting away with centralizing the podcast industry.

sonicrocketman

Yeah. This stuff concerns me greatly. Podcasting is one of the last true open web mediums with broad traction, and it too is being swallowed up.

Aaron Parecki

ah if you're talking about syndication format rather than content format, I understand the question now :-)

sonicrocketman
Dec. 8, 2020   

Correct. I should have clarified. When I say podcast, I mean over RSS.

Aaron Parecki

I didn't realized they were gone? There's a bunch on YouTube right now

sonicrocketman
Dec. 8, 2020   

True true. I meant outside of YouTube over RSS, like podcasts are today.

Aaron Parecki

Huh, now I don't remember if that was intentional or not. Is that how micro.blog does it?

sonicrocketman
Dec. 4, 2020   

I don't think so. I see Manton's full-length posts from Micro.blog.

sonicrocketman

Great stuff!

Just FYI, your full length blog posts don't show any content in your JSON feed, but your RSS feed does.

I made a stew in the Instant Pot tonight that is so good, I’m in danger of eating it all tonight.

I have the same problem when I cook big pots of anything. Is it four meals, or just one big one?

Aaron Parecki Jan. 31, 2021

This, and also I make things I wish had existed when I was learning the space https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/1355726911679332355

I haven't seen blue sky in days

sonicrocketman
Sept. 13, 2020   

I honestly can’t tell if our sky is cloudy or smoky. It’s probably both at this point. Air quality is crap. We get occasional blue but not much.

Aaron Parecki

Fine, just not happy about spending 48+ hours in this air, kinda worried about the possible side effects of this a few weeks from now

sonicrocketman
Sept. 13, 2020   

I don’t doubt it. We haven’t had it nearly as bad, but the fires have done a number here too. Closes reading to me says 158.

I have the same worries. I’ve never really had bad allergies but they’ve been crazy lately.

sonicrocketman
Sept. 13, 2020   

Wow. That’s crazy... is the sky still red?

sonicrocketman

Yikes. Seems like you've found a project at least. How you holding up otherwise?

Aaron Parecki

ohhhh this is awesome! So glad you shipped this!! 🚀

Thanks for the help. Now I need to take a bunch of new pictures.
