November 13, 2022

Questions

(4:40) jetlag is just an extended daylight savings

(5:20) @Aaron Parecki Are you going to start adding pins on the map to show where you are each week?

(6:14) 🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶

(6:21) Best episode thumbnail EVAR. 💪💥👍😎

(6:34) I wonder if poor Aaron is scrambling to get things going after the trip

(8:18) Q: Any news regarding Constellation 4M/E's?

(8:55) Q - any update on your 4 ME HD ??

(9:55) I’m sure the media saves on my constellation 2me,

(10:11) The web interface is simple but effective

(10:21) Bird Dog Play looks like Apple TV size .. or is it smaller ?

(10:49) @Emerald Audiovisual I think it is even smaller than the Apple TV

(10:50) BD play is smaller than an Apple TV

(10:52) @Emerald Audiovisual .. its way smaller

(10:54) The birddog play is smaller than an apple tv

(13:06) Got mine from dve this week and started playing immediately works pretty decent

(13:17) I bet a bunch of people forgot they ordered a Play when they'll receive their unit.

(13:22) Just bought one of the stands on sale. YEH!

(13:29) Q: always wanted to ask - do you match on Q, Q:, q and/or q:?

(13:52) I think Blackmagic's thinking is that it won't be turned off/on very frequently, so media pool restoration isn't as important, however I think since they had the capabilities, they should use it

(14:12) DVE store black friday deals on PK stands 50% off free shipping. Ordered an ATEM extreme iso statnd !!!

(14:25) q - try out the lower letter

(14:36) LUT looks good on the main cam 👍

(14:46) Q: on the new box cameras or have you switched yet?

(20:35) Q: Well, they suspended the whole checkmark rollout again. For now anyhow.

(20:38) the $8 blue check was already removed this week, I dont think you can get it anymore

(21:11) q: seeing your involvement with oauth and Twitters big part in the development of oauth, is this whole situation painful for you?

(22:05) Controversial opinion: I love twitter, and will miss it if it implodes.

(22:34) Yea, glad you are going to talk about twitter!

(22:36) Since you are an indiweb pioneer

(22:38) I've deleted my Twitter account ten years ago and never had any regrets about it.

(24:57) I don't see twitter "melting down" as much as it's in transition from a very different vision into something that (hopefully) will be a place everyone can enjoy.

(25:05) I also dont think its "melting down". advertisers pull out due to risk/unknown not because they dont want to support. advertisers are generally not that altruistic.

(26:29) Q: Maybe try MASTODON? Free social network

(34:58) Q you use the federated model for social media

(35:16) I like my local timeline, and of course that only works when I'm on an instance where others are

(35:20) And I trust the admins of my instance to inform the users if they decide to shut down, so I can just move to another instance, the posts themselves are ok to vanish for me

(35:55) This is exactly what I want

(36:01) Q Currently on a mastodon instance and have gone back and forth on staying, moving to a single user instance I host, or doing something custom. Is it difficult to build something like what you have?

(44:22) Bridgy Fed reminds me of the old days with RSS and FeedBurner.

(44:41) I know from having watched people setup Mastodon, you need storage (S3 or something similar). Then you get into egress fees.

(45:02) @Eric Likness Maybe the twiiter situation might influence other social media platforms to revisit/invest in RSS technology? Something old is new again... like podcast 2 index/feeds.

(45:50) The whole Mastodon story was more thought towards organisations running their own instance.

(47:03) That's awesome thx so much.. did you post a link to the post you shared in the chat?

(53:20) Thanks for all that info. Not sure how much coding / admin I feel like doing so will stick with mastodon.scot for the moment.

(53:40) My streamdeck is broken again aaron 😂

(53:46) @anomalily whoops 😂😂

(53:47) @Aaron Parecki Lily needs help.

(53:57) They will never get rid of YT it harvests too much user data for them to give it up.

(54:09) @Aaron Parecki On the YouTube side of things: look at Kevin, The Basic Film-makers channel - a few years back, it got hacked and was taken down very quickly, and it took a few months to get it back

(54:22) Really smart strategy!

(54:27) I already restarted!

(56:15) Yup but on air doesn't work

(56:19) I restarted it

(57:46) @Aaron Parecki I cut the entire power supply which I think includes the ATEM?

(58:37) okay just unplugged big one

(58:45) Not the one labeled hyperdeck right

(58:49) Just need one of the handy inline switches for the Atem.

(58:59) Let us support Aaron with a Like!

(1:00:54) What I do for tech support stuff is have a crappy webcam setup so that I can see my entire office (essentially a security camera) that I can look into remotely, with password protection of course

(1:03:04) All the mess is aaron's stuff

(1:03:09) OMG don't show the mess

(1:03:35) Resolved! Thank you!

(1:04:10) She was melting down when I kicked her out

(1:04:51) Really appreciate both this video as well as all your work in the indiweb space

(1:05:14) I understood basically nothing regarding Mastodon, but still good fun to listen to and watch the chat! Thanks for all the fun troubleshooting as usual

(1:05:37) Power outages are not good for networks

(1:05:41) Hey Aaron it was nice to meet you the other day

(1:06:23) Q: Would you have spent $44 Billion to buy Twitter?

(1:06:34) Q: What is the remote rtmp multi view device you are trying to use?

(1:08:30) but the TinyEnc doesn't do SRT/h265

(1:08:33) you need the ENC1 V2 for that

(1:08:49) Did the cat decide to unplug things?

(1:09:06) Q: do you want to review remoting in you for donuts on my stresam

(1:13:06) WE don't have a back channel set up tho

(1:14:55) Back channel is working 👍

(1:17:49) Q: how is your feed getting into her ATEM?

(1:19:30) My cat's get the exact same thing, we didn't take ours to the vet, however it went away in about 1-2 hours, so wasn't very concerned

(1:19:39) Your setup is so advanced looks like you live in a Black Mirror episode..

(1:20:07) Q: is there a VPN between your studio and Lily's??

(1:20:42) My sister has the exact same cat they are cute

(1:20:45) Is it wireguard?

(1:21:11) Q: Is the multiview going detect in the TinyENC, or via a splitter so that there is a local multiview to?

(1:22:16) Q: Has Dora eaten a little blue bird lately?

(1:22:25) @Luc Ongena : Lily's Atem is an Extreme, so she has 2 HDMI outs. You can have multiview on both. With a LinkPi ENC1 V2 you would have a HDMI in and out though

(1:22:42) Q: What's your bandwidth, is it reliable, is Lily in the same city on same type of internet speed? Have you ever needed to bond multiple carriers (except in your Yolobox hack) to increase reliability?

(1:23:09) Q: What make and model routers are you using for both locations?

(1:23:36) Hello Aaron I saw your video don’t buy GoPro for live-streaming is it applicable to latest GoPro 11 as well?

(1:24:26) Q: Is your setup ready to multi-cam livestream in 4K?

(1:25:03) A VPN Video would be great!

(1:25:13) Q: does the problem with Lilys stuff means that we don't have time to play with your Birddog Player today? :)

(1:25:26) no time left to play with the 🐦🐕

(1:25:41) I currently run wireguard on an OpenWRT router - but I've been playing with the Cloudflare ArgoTunnel option... Would be interested in future VPN related content.

(1:25:54) Yes go pro lab is like adams mixeffect, can not live w/o them

(1:27:14) Thank you for today

(1:27:16) Thanks for the show! have a great week!
