Episode 22 – The Year of the Megapickle
00:00:00.000 —> 00:00:02.000
Friends with Brews!
00:00:02.000 —> 00:00:08.080
Peter, I am putting an end to 2022 by declaring it to be the year of the megapickle.
00:00:08.080 —> 00:00:11.040
What, the actual?
00:00:11.040 —> 00:00:14.480
I know that youth isn’t ATP, so you should know at least half of it.
00:00:14.480 —> 00:00:16.800
But this year, late this year,
00:00:16.800 —> 00:00:22.000
John Chidgey resurrected the sound clip of Vic Hudson trying to say megapixel.
00:00:22.000 —> 00:00:22.960
12 megapickle.
00:00:23.680 —> 00:00:31.760
And then, and then, to make it even funnier, in the very last ATP, here was John Siracusa.
00:00:31.760 —> 00:00:32.800
60 megapickles.
00:00:32.800 —> 00:00:34.800
It’s infectious.
00:00:34.800 —> 00:00:42.240
John Siracusa sounds like he was drinking a beer that time. Maybe we should have him on the podcast.
00:00:42.240 —> 00:00:43.360
60 megapickles.
00:00:43.360 —> 00:00:46.000
I don’t think he’s a drinker. I really don’t.
00:00:46.000 —> 00:00:48.480
Let’s find out. But I’m a drinker. I admit it.
00:00:48.480 —> 00:00:53.520
And more power to him. Okay, now that you’ve admitted you’re drinking, tell us what you’re
00:00:53.520 —> 00:01:01.180
drinking and why you are drinking. I am about to open up a Golden Road Brewing
00:01:01.180 —> 00:01:06.660
Guava Cart. I had noticed that it was exceptionally green, that can. This is the
00:01:06.660 —> 00:01:12.540
same company that makes Mango Cart. Are guavas green or are they yellow? I don’t
00:01:12.540 —> 00:01:18.240
know. I don’t either. That can is green and pink. The beer can is green, that’s
00:01:18.240 —> 00:01:23.140
all you need to know. So yeah. Got it. So this is Guava Cart. It is not a
00:01:23.140 —> 00:01:29.300
as sweet as mango cart, but it is 1% higher alcohol than mango cart. So it’s a wheat beer.
00:01:29.300 —> 00:01:35.300
It’s definitely a summery kind of thing. It’s made with guava and passion fruit though. So this is a
00:01:35.300 —> 00:01:40.580
wheat ale. It’s not super sweet, but then again I haven’t had it in a few weeks and I’ve only had
00:01:40.580 —> 00:01:46.820
a couple times, so let me take a sip before I review it. It is not sweet at all, but it has a
00:01:46.820 —> 00:01:55.780
nice guava flavor to it. And it’s got the slightest hint of bitterness at the very end
00:01:55.780 —> 00:02:01.060
for only a moment, not unpleasant like most IPAs, for example, and then it’s gone.
00:02:01.060 —> 00:02:06.500
The slightest hint of bitterness. So that’s like me with Google docs. Oh no, no, I’m sorry.
00:02:06.500 —> 00:02:10.180
That’s extreme rage and bitterness. Extreme rage and bitterness, right.
00:02:10.180 —> 00:02:15.700
Totally the opposite end of the spectrum. On the Tiki scale, you are on this side over here,
00:02:15.700 —> 00:02:19.540
Nightmare and this is way closer to best. I love you. So definitely
00:02:19.540 —> 00:02:28.780
Why am I drinking this because you said Peter I want to record before Thursday preferably with a beer I was like, oh, okay
00:02:28.780 —> 00:02:34.380
I’ll drink a beer. So okay. That’s why I’m drinking this beer. What are you drinking? Here’s my get drunk quick kit
00:02:34.380 —> 00:02:41.540
That looks like your daughter’s lunchbox or backpack from choosing third grade. This is the only thing I have that’s not gigantic
00:02:41.540 —> 00:02:44.180
For keeping stuff cool
00:02:44.180 —> 00:02:48.840
So it really is her lunch box from when she was in the third grade. No, it’s her lunch box from now.
00:02:48.840 —> 00:02:51.920
I didn’t realize she was in the third grade.
00:02:51.920 —> 00:02:57.300
No, this is a space. This is… oh my god. You don’t have a girl. Here’s what I’m drinking.
00:02:57.300 —> 00:02:59.940
Awwww. Peanut butter.
00:02:59.940 —> 00:03:02.380
Okay, here’s peanut butter milk stout.
00:03:02.380 —> 00:03:05.060
Belching beaver peanut butter milk stout.
00:03:05.060 —> 00:03:11.200
Okay, that doesn’t sound creepy that just sounds foul, but okay.
00:03:11.200 —> 00:03:14.600
Yeah, well, it’s better than what I put in the show notes because I couldn’t remember the belching part
00:03:14.600 —> 00:03:17.400
So I put something beaver peanut butter folks doubt. Oh
00:03:17.400 —> 00:03:25.240
My god, oh boy, okay, so I thought I had I thought I had I
00:03:25.240 —> 00:03:33.140
Thought I had had that on this podcast before but when I used the incredible search tool that I implemented on our website
00:03:33.140 —> 00:03:37.540
Which by the way, I really do. I really am glad even if no one else gets any use out of it
00:03:37.540 —> 00:03:43.460
I’m so glad I put that on there I use it because I think you and I are probably the biggest users of that because we’re
00:03:43.460 —> 00:03:48.680
Like wait did I for this already did I did we talk about this? Have I reviewed this? Did I like this?
00:03:48.680 —> 00:03:54.840
But when I search for either belching or beaver or belching beaver nothing comes up
00:03:54.840 —> 00:03:59.200
So apparently I did not have this on the podcast and by the way, I don’t recommend
00:03:59.200 —> 00:04:03.680
Only on our website is searching for the word beaver gonna be safe to do
00:04:03.680 —> 00:04:06.500
at work
00:04:06.800 —> 00:04:09.400
You know, there are probably a lot of park rangers
00:04:09.400 —> 00:04:12.860
Dam administrators
00:04:12.860 —> 00:04:17.560
Not to be confused with those damn administrators. They’re all damn wildlife
00:04:17.560 —> 00:04:22.920
Conserved conservationists who probably search for beavers a lot
00:04:22.920 —> 00:04:32.040
So while you’re pouring that I would like to personally give a shout out to one mr
00:04:32.040 —> 00:04:38.960
Vic Hudson and thank him for remembering and reminding you about an app called Shush.
00:04:38.960 —> 00:04:41.600
Shush your mouth.
00:04:41.600 —> 00:04:43.320
Because thanks to this app called Shush.
00:04:43.320 —> 00:04:44.380
Shush your mouth.
00:04:44.380 —> 00:04:49.840
You don’t know it, but I have had to cough and sneeze twice during this recording and
00:04:49.840 —> 00:04:51.440
you have not heard it.
00:04:51.440 —> 00:04:52.440
Right.
00:04:52.440 —> 00:04:57.020
In the past, Vic, Peter literally had to, he, Peter wears baggy pants.
00:04:57.020 —> 00:04:59.520
He had to pull his pants over his head.
00:04:59.520 —> 00:05:04.720
Hmm. That’s not true. That is not true at all. I had to pull my pants over the microphone.
00:05:04.720 —> 00:05:08.720
Oh! That explains some things I saw.
00:05:08.720 —> 00:05:15.320
Yeah, so I would wear my old pants back from when I weighed about 200 pounds, so I’d have enough bagginess and I would loosen them up.
00:05:15.320 —> 00:05:18.320
I don’t believe you ever weighed 200 pounds.
00:05:18.320 —> 00:05:21.320
I weighed 212 pounds.
00:05:21.320 —> 00:05:24.320
Hey, I got up to 230 at one point in my life.
00:05:24.320 —> 00:05:26.820
Yeah, but you’re like an inch taller than me, so it’s okay.
00:05:26.820 —> 00:05:28.020
True. You’re right.
00:05:28.020 —> 00:05:28.820
Cheers!
00:05:28.820 —> 00:05:32.500
Let’s not go back there. Cheers. Oh here. That’s clink. You need a clinking sound
00:05:32.500 —> 00:05:34.020
By the way
00:05:34.020 —> 00:05:38.980
This magnetic clip that holds my phone to the top of my macbook pro is why my camera’s off to the side
00:05:38.980 —> 00:05:42.100
Because my macbook pro sits off to the side of my studio display
00:05:42.100 —> 00:05:45.140
But i’m getting a similar thing for
00:05:45.140 —> 00:05:51.460
The studio display so eventually I should be able to look you directly in the eyes or you should be able to look me in the eyes
00:05:51.460 —> 00:05:56.900
But i’m gonna have to adjust the height on this thing. You could also get a stand for your iphone
00:05:57.300 —> 00:06:03.300
Yes, and I have done that in the past and having that extra crap on my desk that I don’t want most the time
00:06:03.300 —> 00:06:10.220
But no, you want something like a mount it as a mounting for as a webcam. No. No these do mount as a webcam
00:06:10.220 —> 00:06:15.640
That’s what these do they clip it on to your monitors as a webcam. That’s what I mean your phone. No
00:06:15.640 —> 00:06:20.980
Yeah, that’s what that’s what I’m talking about. Oh, so this is your phone. I’m seeing you at yeah
00:06:22.660 —> 00:06:25.860
That’s exactly that’s what I’m talking about. So you could do what I said
00:06:25.860 —> 00:06:31.860
What I’m saying is I have on the way a Belkin magnetic mount that will put it on the studio display
00:06:31.860 —> 00:06:33.460
Which is in front of me
00:06:33.460 —> 00:06:37.960
Excellent, and that way I don’t have to use the one that clips it to the laptop which is beside me
00:06:37.960 —> 00:06:43.780
Got it. So you’re just doing exactly what I said. I’m just not paying any attention to you. You’re not paying one
00:06:43.780 —> 00:06:48.140
Because I’m drinking. Hey, wait, I said beaver about 20 times to have to go back and
00:06:48.860 —> 00:06:53.160
So especially in the Pacific Northwest, I think you have them there. Yeah, no kidding
00:06:53.160 —> 00:06:58.580
Has no one heard of OSU, of course every time anybody says OSU they mean Ohio State University
00:06:58.580 —> 00:07:05.380
But that is not OSU that is oh, it’s also not OSI. Yes you so guava cart versus
00:07:05.380 —> 00:07:13.500
Something beaver peanut butter milk stout belting beaver. I what’s the what’s the alcohol content on that one? Hmm. Good question
00:07:13.500 —> 00:07:18.400
Dear listen, I asked pretty much in the dark. It’s 12 ounces
00:07:18.400 —> 00:07:23.860
5.3 percent. Okay, oh see all of the like the milk stouts and the peanut butter
00:07:23.860 —> 00:07:29.020
stouts that I’ve had are always like super high volume high alcohol by
00:07:29.020 —> 00:07:32.860
volume so I would like to try something like that. This is the only peanut butter
00:07:32.860 —> 00:07:36.540
milk stout that I’ve tried that I can endure. Most of them aren’t that great
00:07:36.540 —> 00:07:39.760
and I don’t know why. I’ve had a couple others hoping I would find something
00:07:39.760 —> 00:07:43.980
this is pretty good it’s just I will definitely give this a thumbs up but
00:07:43.980 —> 00:07:48.140
there’s something about it that seems slightly bitter to me kind of like you
00:07:48.140 —> 00:07:50.140
in Google Docs and…
00:07:50.140 —> 00:07:54.940
Dude, you’re the one who was cursing up a storm at Google Docs today.
00:07:54.940 —> 00:08:00.380
No, no, I’m extremely bitter, but you must be slightly bitter. Come on. You can’t deny it. It is kind of a pain in the ass.
00:08:00.380 —> 00:08:02.700
At what, Google Docs?
00:08:02.700 —> 00:08:06.180
Yeah, at Google Docing. Google Docs is a pain in the ass at Google Docing.
00:08:06.180 —> 00:08:12.300
Honestly, Google Docs has been okay to me. I don’t do much with it though, and that’s probably why.
00:08:12.300 —> 00:08:15.960
Exactly, yeah. Don’t use it and you will love it.
00:08:16.980 —> 00:08:22.940
Key to every computer technology. It’s just like a car. I had it was like I think was my third car
00:08:22.940 —> 00:08:27.500
Maybe it was my fourth car. I don’t remember third car. I think it was my third car. I had a
00:08:27.500 —> 00:08:30.940
Mitsubishi Gallant and
00:08:30.940 —> 00:08:34.160
I know as long as I wasn’t out there driving it was great
00:08:34.160 —> 00:08:36.700
Was it that it was breaking down or it was just constantly?
00:08:36.700 —> 00:08:42.080
Constantly and it probably wasn’t that much fun to drive either because I don’t know what it was about me to be me
00:08:42.220 —> 00:08:48.340
It was it was fun to drive. Yeah. Well, it was it was all-wheel drive and it was turbo. It was nice
00:08:48.340 —> 00:08:54.040
It was but didn’t have a weird interior because there’s something about Mitsubishi where early in their ear early in their existence
00:08:54.040 —> 00:08:59.340
They set off and said we’re just gonna have the weirdest designs you’ve ever seen. I don’t remember that now
00:08:59.340 —> 00:09:04.700
This was like 24 years ago though. So it’s been it’s been a while. So I don’t really remember maybe even more
00:09:04.700 —> 00:09:10.660
Maybe 25 26 years ago. So now it’s even more than that was the early 90s. This was closer to 30 years ago
00:09:10.660 —> 00:09:14.740
So I don’t remember the interior. What I do remember was the thing was like a rocket sled.
00:09:14.740 —> 00:09:19.500
I mean it took off. It didn’t accelerate as fast as my Dodge Daytona did.
00:09:19.500 —> 00:09:23.200
But it handled a lot better, but it was constantly breaking down.
00:09:23.200 —> 00:09:25.840
I don’t even remember what was wrong with it.
00:09:25.840 —> 00:09:29.860
But there was one quarter where it spent more days in the shop than I had at driving it.
00:09:29.860 —> 00:09:32.660
I think it was a Mitsubishi. I think that’s what was wrong with it.
00:09:32.660 —> 00:09:34.160
That’s probably why. I’ll drink to that.
00:09:34.160 —> 00:09:36.160
What you said there reminded me.
00:09:36.160 —> 00:09:40.140
We are at the point in our lives, Peter, where, well at least for me,
00:09:40.140 —> 00:09:45.380
anytime I think something happened X number of years ago it’s not just ten
00:09:45.380 —> 00:09:49.060
years that I have to add to it I have to add at least 20 and there are a couple
00:09:49.060 —> 00:09:56.980
things that I have to add 30 years to and that scares the bejeesus belching
00:09:56.980 —> 00:10:03.420
beaver right out of the but gel ting but but you the beavers versus yeah the
00:10:03.420 —> 00:10:07.580
but gel ting but geever it scares the but gel ting but geever right out of me
00:10:07.580 —> 00:10:11.380
That’s a pretty good show title too, “The Bejelching Bejever.”
00:10:11.380 —> 00:10:13.540
”Bejelching Bejever,” I like that.
00:10:13.540 —> 00:10:14.540
bejeesus.
00:10:14.540 —> 00:10:17.420
But I’ve already got the year of the megapickle.
00:10:17.420 —> 00:10:19.780
I think we’re good with the year of the megapickle.
00:10:19.780 —> 00:10:20.780
I like that.
00:10:20.780 —> 00:10:21.780
56 megapickle.
00:10:21.780 —> 00:10:26.860
So now that you’ve talked about Shush app and Vic, you know what’s embarrassing is I actually
00:10:26.860 —> 00:10:32.540
used to use Shush app, but at some point there was some XLR mic I was using that it just
00:10:32.540 —> 00:10:35.500
didn’t work on, it just couldn’t see the microphone, so I quit using it.
00:10:35.500 —> 00:10:37.060
So I kind of forgot all about it.
00:10:37.060 —> 00:10:40.700
But I should have known that for a USB mic like yours it would be perfect.
00:10:40.700 —> 00:10:42.300
So anyway, my apologies.
00:10:42.300 —> 00:10:43.540
It works great for me.
00:10:43.540 —> 00:10:44.540
Yeah.
00:10:44.540 —> 00:10:47.040
I mean I’ve used it at least four times.
00:10:47.040 —> 00:10:53.940
So I have successfully booked my vacation once again for the second time.
00:10:53.940 —> 00:10:55.660
I thought, okay.
00:10:55.660 —> 00:10:58.380
Did we So I’m relocating, I’m relocating to Costa
00:10:58.380 —> 00:11:03.340
Rica and I booked two, count them two, Airbnbs.
00:11:03.340 —> 00:11:04.340
Right.
00:11:04.340 —> 00:11:06.740
Two weeks in one place, two weeks in another place.
00:11:06.740 —> 00:11:12.080
But, and why, because, you know, like, well, if I don’t like a place, you know, I’m like,
00:11:12.080 —> 00:11:14.680
I can probably tough this out for a couple of weeks, but toughing it out for a whole
00:11:14.680 —> 00:11:17.260
month, I’m like, I don’t, I’m not sure about that.
00:11:17.260 —> 00:11:19.640
So I figured I’d split my stay up into two.
00:11:19.640 —> 00:11:22.140
The first one canceled on me.
00:11:22.140 —> 00:11:23.140
So I was like, huh.
00:11:23.140 —> 00:11:24.140
Oh.
00:11:24.140 —> 00:11:27.140
So I was like, okay, so I got to find other plans.
00:11:27.140 —> 00:11:30.300
And coincidentally, a friend of mine just got back from Costa Rica.
00:11:30.300 —> 00:11:39.320
She was there for a week and she used this travel agency to book her hotels and ziplining
00:11:39.320 —> 00:11:45.160
and rafting and kayaking and a catamaran tour and other things.
00:11:45.160 —> 00:11:48.140
And I was just like, “Alright, that sounds kind of cool.”
00:11:48.140 —> 00:11:50.940
So I said, “Well, let me check that out.”
00:11:50.940 —> 00:11:55.260
So I checked it out and I was like, “You know what?
00:11:55.260 —> 00:11:56.400
I’m going to do that.”
00:11:56.400 —> 00:12:01.180
It wasn’t really that much more expensive, because now apparently Airbnb prices have
00:12:01.180 —> 00:12:07.300
gone up to where they’re fairly competitive to, or comparable to hotels.
00:12:07.300 —> 00:12:09.880
So hotels are competitive again.
00:12:09.880 —> 00:12:13.740
So I was like, well in that case, let me see what’s going on.
00:12:13.740 —> 00:12:19.060
And this way I’ve got, someone else cleans the place up, and they include breakfast,
00:12:19.060 —> 00:12:24.500
and a driver, and they’ll take care of my rental car for me when I’m done.
00:12:24.500 —> 00:12:28.700
And so I was like, “What the heck? You know what? Let’s let someone else worry about the details.”
00:12:28.700 —> 00:12:30.900
So I did. So I just booked that this morning.
00:12:30.900 —> 00:12:34.100
Interesting. Have you seen pictures of this place? Is it?
00:12:34.100 —> 00:12:39.900
Lots of places. They all look the same. Costa Rica is just like lush, lush jungles everywhere.
00:12:39.900 —> 00:12:41.700
No, no, no. I’m talking about the hotel.
00:12:41.700 —> 00:12:43.100
No, I’ll be sleeping out in the jungle.
00:12:43.100 —> 00:12:44.500
Oh. Okay.
00:12:44.500 —> 00:12:45.700
It’s an outdoor hotel.
00:12:45.700 —> 00:12:46.800
You have a pillow of bugs.
00:12:46.800 —> 00:12:48.200
Very good for your spine.
00:12:48.200 —> 00:12:53.600
I don’t know what Costa Rica’s like, but to me, a lot of hotels are kind of like, eh, whatever.
00:12:53.600 —> 00:12:57.680
like they’re not the most inspiring. They’re feng shui is what I’m trying to say.
00:12:57.680 —> 00:13:01.680
Yeah, I wouldn’t bet on feng shui in a place like Costa Rica.
00:13:01.680 —> 00:13:03.520
So, you know, that’s…
00:13:03.520 —> 00:13:05.840
So when like when we go to the Oregon coast,
00:13:05.840 —> 00:13:10.480
there is a place we like to stay that is like staying in little cottages.
00:13:10.480 —> 00:13:14.080
They’re usually multi-story, but it’s like a little cottage, like a little house.
00:13:14.080 —> 00:13:17.840
It’s got a real kitchen. It’s got real bed. It’s like a real house.
00:13:17.840 —> 00:13:23.440
As opposed to staying in hotels, because there aren’t any hotels that I personally
00:13:23.440 —> 00:13:27.120
and joy at all on the Oregon coast that I’ve found so far.
00:13:27.120 —> 00:13:30.360
They’re all generic, they’re all blah, they, I don’t know.
00:13:30.360 —> 00:13:31.800
There’s just something about staying in them
00:13:31.800 —> 00:13:34.920
that just doesn’t, it’s great if you’re never in the room
00:13:34.920 —> 00:13:38.480
and you don’t care, but if you’re gonna spend some time
00:13:38.480 —> 00:13:40.000
in there or you wanna eat in there,
00:13:40.000 —> 00:13:42.520
or you wanna hang out with your family in there,
00:13:42.520 —> 00:13:44.080
no, they’re horrible.
00:13:44.080 —> 00:13:46.160
And so I’m just wondering if it’s gonna be something
00:13:46.160 —> 00:13:47.000
like that for you.
00:13:47.000 —> 00:13:50.360
And my presumption is you are gonna spend some amount
00:13:50.360 —> 00:13:52.300
of time in there since you’re there for a month
00:13:52.300 —> 00:13:53.140
or two months.
00:13:53.140 —> 00:13:54.440
I’m only here for a couple weeks.
00:13:54.440 —> 00:13:56.200
A couple weeks in the hotels.
00:13:56.200 —> 00:14:00.320
And it’s four different hotels over the course of two weeks.
00:14:00.320 —> 00:14:04.320
So you know, if I don’t like it, I only have to not like it for a couple of days.
00:14:04.320 —> 00:14:05.320
So I’m not really…
00:14:05.320 —> 00:14:07.800
So basically every other day you’re changing rooms?
00:14:07.800 —> 00:14:08.800
Every few days.
00:14:08.800 —> 00:14:09.800
So yeah.
00:14:09.800 —> 00:14:10.800
Every third day.
00:14:10.800 —> 00:14:11.800
We’ll see.
00:14:11.800 —> 00:14:12.800
Yeah, we’ll see.
00:14:12.800 —> 00:14:13.800
So yeah.
00:14:13.800 —> 00:14:15.280
Anyway, so that’s that.
00:14:15.280 —> 00:14:16.720
That is interesting.
00:14:16.720 —> 00:14:19.280
That’s kind of a kind of a bummer to be honest.
00:14:19.280 —> 00:14:21.000
But I don’t want to make you…
00:14:21.000 —> 00:14:22.920
No, I don’t want to plant that in your head.
00:14:22.920 —> 00:14:23.920
Why is that a bummer?
00:14:23.920 —> 00:14:24.920
No, it’s great.
00:14:24.920 —> 00:14:28.400
Because I’m going away on vacation for a month, that’s a bummer?
00:14:28.400 —> 00:14:31.360
No, I would rather stay in the B&B than the hotel.
00:14:31.360 —> 00:14:33.640
Oh, well I’ve got one for those for two weeks.
00:14:33.640 —> 00:14:34.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:34.960 —> 00:14:37.120
Yeah, so I’m totally cool with this.
00:14:37.120 —> 00:14:38.120
It’ll be fun.
00:14:38.120 —> 00:14:39.120
Okay.
00:14:39.120 —> 00:14:40.120
I figured it’s okay.
00:14:40.120 —> 00:14:43.680
This way, you know, to get my feet under me, learn a little bit about the culture, etc.,
00:14:43.680 —> 00:14:46.120
and have a, you know, a place to…
00:14:46.120 —> 00:14:50.000
And you’re starting off with that and then you get the presumably nicer place.
00:14:50.000 —> 00:14:51.000
Yeah.
00:14:51.000 —> 00:14:52.000
Yeah, exactly.
00:14:52.000 —> 00:14:56.160
Yeah, that’s pretty cool. I’ll drink to that here. You can have a beer glass in your camera
00:14:56.160 —> 00:15:04.560
What else what else is going on we talked about the shush app again, thanks Vic. Yeah, I wanted to talk about
00:15:04.560 —> 00:15:12.280
Some apps that a local Portlander Mario Guzman makes and I’ll put links in the show notes
00:15:12.280 —> 00:15:16.120
But he basically hates the current state of Apple design
00:15:16.120 —> 00:15:20.960
He’s a little more extreme than me. He likes everything retro and I I think
00:15:21.600 —> 00:15:28.640
current Mac OS is fine except for a few apps. And I will agree the music app is pretty boring and I will agree especially
00:15:28.640 —> 00:15:34.440
that the small music widget in the current music app literally seems like a
00:15:34.440 —> 00:15:40.200
”We have to have one but who cares and we will never use this ourselves.” It’s just horrible.
00:15:40.200 —> 00:15:46.680
It is not something that a company like Apple should feel at all good about, let alone even just
00:15:47.400 —> 00:15:53.100
We’ll get back to it later. They should feel shame and regret. So anyway Mario, being a programmer,
00:15:53.100 —> 00:15:55.720
has created some music widgets and
00:15:55.720 —> 00:16:04.520
when you’re using the music app, you can use his music widgets to give yourself a more retro, more beautiful experience and
00:16:04.520 —> 00:16:09.560
I have a link to those. You should go take a look at them. They’re free. He’s not asking for any money.
00:16:09.560 —> 00:16:14.620
All he’s asking is for you to be able to enjoy your mini widget again.
00:16:15.280 —> 00:16:20.700
And if you live in Portland, by the way, he’s got the best transit app for Portland. I use it all the time
00:16:20.700 —> 00:16:25.740
I introduced it to some people at work and they thought it was the greatest. It’s called PDX transit
00:16:25.740 —> 00:16:32.240
You can get it for iOS and watch OS and also the Macintosh so you can plan your transit trips
00:16:32.240 —> 00:16:37.800
I used it just the other day when I went to the movie theater that I told you all about last time and
00:16:37.800 —> 00:16:40.160
or at the time before whenever and
00:16:40.160 —> 00:16:44.580
Yeah, it’s great. So go to
00:16:44.580 —> 00:16:49.580
marioaguzman.github.io and then find him on Mastodon’t.
00:16:49.580 —> 00:16:53.500
Mastodon’t or Mastodon’t?
00:16:53.500 —> 00:16:56.260
Mastodon’t maybe. Find him on Masto maybe.
00:16:56.260 —> 00:16:59.780
And tell him that you like him because he’s a good guy.
00:16:59.780 —> 00:17:03.180
So how’s your Mastodon experience? You seem to be enjoying it.
00:17:03.180 —> 00:17:07.660
I am. At first I was like, oh, this is going to be painful.
00:17:07.660 —> 00:17:09.220
And then I was like, Hey, this is pretty good.
00:17:09.220 —> 00:17:11.220
I kind of like this because a whole influx of people are coming.
00:17:11.220 —> 00:17:15.440
And now the old time nerds are fighting with the newer people about whether or
00:17:15.440 —> 00:17:19.080
not there should be allowed to be quote posts, quote toots.
00:17:19.080 —> 00:17:24.280
And there’s, I don’t know, it’s this whole thing where does the platform support it?
00:17:24.280 —> 00:17:26.080
No, the platform does not support it.
00:17:26.080 —> 00:17:30.640
And it was a choice not to, but third party clients are implementing it.
00:17:30.640 —> 00:17:32.300
It’s going to happen whether they like it or not.
00:17:32.300 —> 00:17:36.300
So what they should probably do is get their asses off their high horses and
00:17:36.300 —> 00:17:40.080
their soap boxes and just figure out a better way to implement it for everyone
00:17:40.080 —> 00:17:46.560
involved and that’ll be consistent. So I can’t wait until those people lose the battle. That’s
00:17:46.560 —> 00:17:49.200
the part of Mastodon that I don’t like, but it will go away over time.
00:17:49.200 —> 00:17:50.160
Oh, there you go.
00:17:50.160 —> 00:17:55.920
But it’s still not… Like right now, if I want to know, if I drive out of my driveway
00:17:55.920 —> 00:17:58.960
and drive down the street, is my car going to slide off a hill? That kind of stuff is
00:17:58.960 —> 00:18:03.680
still not on Mastodon. And I will be amazed if it comes there anytime soon. Do you know
00:18:03.680 —> 00:18:07.200
what I’m talking about? Local news accounts, local sources of information that you can
00:18:07.200 —> 00:18:11.360
find without even trying on Twitter, that kind of stuff you can’t find on Mastodon.
00:18:11.360 —> 00:18:14.800
I’m not going to use Twitter just for that. I’m just not going to use Twitter at all right now.
00:18:14.800 —> 00:18:15.520
I just don’t want to.
00:18:15.520 —> 00:18:21.520
You’re probably better off not using Twitter. I have looked and I got notifications the other day.
00:18:21.520 —> 00:18:28.160
I had to reinstall the IFTTT app on my phone for something. I forget what. I got a notification
00:18:28.160 —> 00:18:36.000
that, “Hey, you just posted a new tweet.” I still have a recipe so that anytime we post a podcast
00:18:36.000 —> 00:18:42.880
or a blog post, it would cross post that over to Twitter. And so I used that as an excuse to
00:18:42.880 —> 00:18:50.320
finally learn how to use webhooks in IFTTT and associated that with my Mastodon account.
00:18:50.320 —> 00:18:54.000
I don’t remember. Is it 25 Ts? It’s one F and three Ts, right?
00:18:54.000 —> 00:19:02.560
Three Ts, correct. Yes. It’s 25 Ts minus 22. Yeah. So I set those up and it wasn’t all that hard.
00:19:02.560 —> 00:19:05.760
definitely it was harder than just saying connect to Twitter.
00:19:05.760 —> 00:19:06.960
Right.
00:19:06.960 —> 00:19:11.600
You know, I had to set up an API key and pick the permissions that it had,
00:19:11.600 —> 00:19:14.080
but that wasn’t all that bad. Now that said,
00:19:14.080 —> 00:19:17.360
I don’t know if it’s actually doing anything yet because I did say…
00:19:17.360 —> 00:19:18.320
Because you’re not checking.
00:19:18.320 —> 00:19:21.360
Well, I told it check and nothing happened,
00:19:21.360 —> 00:19:26.640
but sometimes IFTTT doesn’t actually check and do anything when you tell it to.
00:19:26.640 —> 00:19:31.680
So we’ll know when you post the latest episode of friendswithbrews.com.
00:19:31.680 —> 00:19:39.520
if that recipe works because should get a note in my Mastodon. And then what I did is it was also set
00:19:39.520 —> 00:19:45.520
to post to Twitter. I changed the recipe so it posts to Twitter saying I just posted on Mastodon
00:19:45.520 —> 00:19:53.600
but it doesn’t actually include the post. So if you want to see what it was, come on over to
00:19:53.600 —> 00:20:00.320
Mastodon if Elon will even let you. I actually approve of that because as you know I have
00:20:00.320 —> 00:20:05.520
philosophical issues with people who cross route stuff to one platform, but they’re never on that
00:20:05.520 —> 00:20:09.360
platform. They never engage in that platform. That just seems like a dickish thing to me. It’s like,
00:20:09.360 —> 00:20:13.840
if you don’t want to use that platform, but you’re willing to throw stuff at people who still are
00:20:13.840 —> 00:20:19.600
there, that just seems jerky. Oh, I take that back. There was one more thing that also auto
00:20:19.600 —> 00:20:24.960
feeds into Twitter. Any new post on twitterisgoinggreat.com, I also post that in my
00:20:24.960 —> 00:20:33.660
my Twitter feed. Oh, yeah. It’s brilliant. Oh my God. Now I have to put the link to Twitter is
00:20:33.660 —> 00:20:40.800
going great in here. Oh my God. Peter, that is brilliant. That is genius. I have my moments.
00:20:40.800 —> 00:20:45.520
I have my moments. We’re friends for a reason. I don’t just ignore you all the time on the podcast.
00:20:45.520 —> 00:20:51.640
I sometimes I contribute something useful. No, that’s hilarious. So the disingenuous thing is
00:20:51.640 —> 00:20:55.720
like I saw Ronnie post a mess it on he said that he turned off boosts which are
00:20:55.720 —> 00:20:59.900
basically the retweet equivalent because he just doesn’t like seeing all the
00:20:59.900 —> 00:21:03.300
things that other people boost and I kind of gave him a little grief about
00:21:03.300 —> 00:21:06.720
that I was like why would you follow people and then you can’t stand what
00:21:06.720 —> 00:21:11.320
they’re saying like just unfollow the people is my opinion anyway yeah he
00:21:11.320 —> 00:21:15.780
turned off boosts which is fine I get look it’s an option it’s there if he
00:21:15.780 —> 00:21:21.060
doesn’t like people’s boosts he can do that but then later I saw him boosting
00:21:21.060 —> 00:21:25.920
someone else’s stuff. It’s like, okay, now you’ve gone too far. You don’t want to see
00:21:25.920 —> 00:21:30.780
boosts from other people. So you’ve said, but you’ll boost, but you’ll boost stuff for
00:21:30.780 —> 00:21:37.740
other people to have to read. What a hypocrite. I just, I just say it sounds slightly hypocritical.
00:21:37.740 —> 00:21:43.460
Yeah. And I love you, Ronnie, but that is a dick move. I’m sorry. Yeah. It’s hypocritical
00:21:43.460 —> 00:21:46.720
anyway. I don’t know if it’s a dick move, but it’s a hypocritical move. That’s for sure.
00:21:46.720 —> 00:21:50.300
For sure. It’s just easier for me to say dick right now. Cause I’ve had a bunch of beer
00:21:50.300 —> 00:21:57.180
and no food. Well, that’ll do that. You know what? I was going to have marionberry Pie
00:21:57.180 —> 00:22:03.120
and I forgot to bring it up with me because my wife got me a farm fresh marionberry Pie.
00:22:03.120 —> 00:22:06.680
It’s not the vegan stuff that we had, but it’s just as good. It’s non-vegan marionberry
00:22:06.680 —> 00:22:13.460
Pie. Non-vegan marionberry Pie. AKA marionberry Pie. Yeah, exactly. Whenever you talk
00:22:13.460 —> 00:22:17.860
about that though. I always think about the former mayor of Washington DC.
00:22:17.860 —> 00:22:24.580
Wasn’t his name Marion Barry? Yeah, but see here…
00:22:24.580 —> 00:22:26.900
That’s what I always think of when you talk about that.
00:22:26.900 —> 00:22:30.740
But in the Pacific Northwest, or at least in Oregon, the marionberry that we think of is
00:22:30.740 —> 00:22:37.460
the one that goes in pies and is good. Well, good for you in the Pacific Northwest.
00:22:37.460 —> 00:22:40.900
Yeah, if I thought about the mayor when I ate that pie, I wouldn’t be so fond of it.
00:22:41.620 —> 00:22:47.700
Wasn’t he the guy that was in a hotel room with cocaine and he did some things as I recall. Yeah, right. Yeah
00:22:47.700 —> 00:22:50.260
So not all marionberries peter
00:22:50.260 —> 00:22:53.700
Not only marionberries. Oh dear lord
00:22:53.700 —> 00:22:57.620
We know we started a new hashtag
00:22:57.620 —> 00:23:00.580
Oh brother
00:23:00.580 —> 00:23:05.780
Oh my god. Okay. I love that. So anyway, um, do you want to talk about this eufy thing? Do you care?
00:23:06.020 —> 00:23:13.340
Yeah, I do care because I am personally interested in this because Eufy is one of the brands that I was looking at
00:23:13.340 —> 00:23:20.340
because I eventually will have to replace my home cameras.
00:23:20.340 —> 00:23:24.340
So I have three cameras around the house, some indoor, some outdoor.
00:23:24.340 —> 00:23:32.340
And the reason that I bought them is because they, like Eufy, claim to not upload anything to their servers.
00:23:32.340 —> 00:23:39.860
But they do integrate either with FTP or Dropbox or I think Google Drive and I have them set to
00:23:39.860 —> 00:23:41.880
upload to Dropbox
00:23:41.880 —> 00:23:43.880
But the manufacturer
00:23:43.880 —> 00:23:45.980
Apparently has now gone out of business
00:23:45.980 —> 00:23:50.140
So, oh look you’re even more invested than I am
00:23:50.140 —> 00:23:55.780
So the manufacturer of my camera is now
00:23:56.180 —> 00:24:00.660
apparently gone because the App Store app hasn’t been updated in years.
00:24:00.660 —> 00:24:02.900
Their website doesn’t go anywhere.
00:24:02.900 —> 00:24:04.940
Can’t buy their product anymore.
00:24:04.940 —> 00:24:08.580
And so I’m a little concerned about that.
00:24:08.580 —> 00:24:11.460
But, you know, I’m like, they’re still working for right now.
00:24:11.460 —> 00:24:13.620
But I had been looking at Blink.
00:24:13.620 —> 00:24:15.020
I’ve been looking at Ring.
00:24:15.020 —> 00:24:17.180
I’d looked at Nest and I was like,
00:24:17.180 —> 00:24:21.900
do I want to give Amazon and Google my cameras?
00:24:21.900 —> 00:24:24.020
Not really.
00:24:24.020 —> 00:24:25.100
So then there’s Eufy.
00:24:25.100 —> 00:24:29.660
Now, why might somebody want to go with Eufy and not the ones that I mentioned?
00:24:29.660 —> 00:24:34.460
Well, Eufy cameras are pretty convenient.
00:24:34.460 —> 00:24:36.740
They work well and they integrate with HomeKit.
00:24:36.740 —> 00:24:41.980
A lot of people like Eufy because they’re a decent performance for the price.
00:24:41.980 —> 00:24:48.060
And as you know, from looking at all your options, home cameras are bloody expensive.
00:24:48.060 —> 00:24:52.860
It costs a lot of money to get like even a handful around the house.
00:24:53.020 —> 00:25:00.380
So, Eufy, apparently, although they say that they’re not uploading stuff to their servers,
00:25:00.380 —> 00:25:03.600
they claim that their cameras are local storage only.
00:25:03.600 —> 00:25:10.020
But indeed, they have been found to be uploading identifiable footage to the cloud.
00:25:10.020 —> 00:25:14.340
And people can even point VLC at it and watch what’s happening.
00:25:14.340 —> 00:25:19.340
So in theory, I guess it would be possible for other people to get access to it.
00:25:19.340 —> 00:25:23.420
But mainly for sure it’s going to Eufy.
00:25:23.420 —> 00:25:25.860
And Eufy is owned by Anker.
00:25:25.860 —> 00:25:27.960
Which you know to be fair I’ve always liked Anker stuff.
00:25:27.960 —> 00:25:31.220
I’ve got a lot of Anker cables, like Anker chargers.
00:25:31.220 —> 00:25:34.340
They’re you know as far as I know they’re a good brand and as far as I know Eufy is
00:25:34.340 —> 00:25:35.340
a good brand.
00:25:35.340 —> 00:25:36.340
I’ve always liked their stuff.
00:25:36.340 —> 00:25:41.300
But let’s see I think they’re talking about how if you know the serial number you can
00:25:41.300 —> 00:25:44.700
figure out the address of a camera’s feed based on the camera serial number and the
00:25:44.700 —> 00:25:47.700
serial numbers aren’t super long so they’re easy to figure out.
00:25:47.700 —> 00:25:52.200
So anyway, the main security threat here is that because they’re transmitting stuff and
00:25:52.200 —> 00:25:57.540
it’s not just local, A, what are they doing with it, and B, other people can also potentially
00:25:57.540 —> 00:25:58.540
access it.
00:25:58.540 —> 00:25:59.540
Uh-huh.
00:25:59.540 —> 00:26:01.180
Yeah, that’s a concern.
00:26:01.180 —> 00:26:04.220
Anchor initially called it a misunderstanding.
00:26:04.220 —> 00:26:05.220
Cough.
00:26:05.220 —> 00:26:06.220
Right.
00:26:06.220 —> 00:26:12.700
And then basically what they did is started changing their terms of service instead of
00:26:12.700 —> 00:26:13.860
actually fixing the problem.
00:26:13.860 —> 00:26:17.220
So now their terms of service don’t promise as much privacy as they used to.
00:26:17.220 —> 00:26:19.880
Hmm. So it’s something worth looking at.
00:26:19.880 —> 00:26:21.080
I have links in the show notes.
00:26:21.080 —> 00:26:27.900
If you have Eufy cameras or you’re thinking about Eufy cameras, understand what’s happening so that you know whether it’s an issue for you or not.
00:26:27.900 —> 00:26:37.360
I will say that this issue does not affect anybody who is using them with HomeKit and has the HomeKit secure video feature enabled for those cameras.
00:26:37.360 —> 00:26:41.540
Okay. Because that only, all that video gets handled by Apple at that point.
00:26:41.540 —> 00:26:43.380
And that’s what I do.
00:26:43.380 —> 00:26:45.260
So I don’t really care about this that much.
00:26:45.780 —> 00:26:50.160
What I will do is keep watching to make sure that there are no more occurring
00:26:50.160 —> 00:26:53.040
developments that make me think that, okay, this could be a problem for me,
00:26:53.040 —> 00:26:55.960
even though I am using homekit, a secure video.
00:26:55.960 —> 00:27:00.680
So it’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that as far as I know,
00:27:00.680 —> 00:27:04.620
it doesn’t affect my use case, but I will continue watching this space for sure.
00:27:04.620 —> 00:27:08.000
Watch this space. Yeah. And I don’t know, you know, I’m like,
00:27:08.000 —> 00:27:12.800
this is a concern because you buy these things thinking that it’s going to be
00:27:12.800 —> 00:27:13.860
secure. You know,
00:27:13.860 —> 00:27:16.380
You think that they’re not going to share my data with anyone.
00:27:16.380 —> 00:27:18.260
They’re not going to share my video with anyone.
00:27:18.260 —> 00:27:20.180
Oh, they just did.
00:27:20.180 —> 00:27:25.180
And how are you supposed to know until some security researcher finds it out?
00:27:25.180 —> 00:27:29.340
Like, well, I mean, you could put a packet capture and sniffer on your network
00:27:29.340 —> 00:27:34.380
and just watch it for how long until you gain a level of confidence.
00:27:34.380 —> 00:27:40.180
You could also lock it down, firewall the thing down so it can’t go anywhere else.
00:27:40.180 —> 00:27:41.380
So there’s that.
00:27:41.380 —> 00:27:43.500
And then you could see, does that break functionality?
00:27:43.500 —> 00:27:47.660
and if so, why? What is it doing? Why does it need that access? Yeah, for sure.
00:27:47.660 —> 00:27:48.660
Yep. Yep.
00:27:48.660 —> 00:27:54.020
That’s one of the reasons why whenever people say, “Oh, well, Apple says they don’t take
00:27:54.020 —> 00:27:59.140
this stuff off device, but they really do.” You know, if they did, at some point somebody
00:27:59.140 —> 00:28:03.040
would probably figure it out. But it’s not like these people went out and bought some
00:28:03.040 —> 00:28:08.100
cheap generic Brand X camera and then they were stunned to find out that it was transmitting
00:28:08.100 —> 00:28:11.900
stuff to the cloud. No, this is supposedly a good brand that you can trust. They’ve made
00:28:11.900 —> 00:28:16.980
a lot of things, people trust them and then they do this and instead of really responding
00:28:16.980 —> 00:28:21.700
in a proper way, they’re like, Oh yeah, it’s a big misunderstanding. By the way, we’re
00:28:21.700 —> 00:28:25.780
deleting our terms of service that promise you privacy. Don’t look over here.
00:28:25.780 —> 00:28:30.540
Yeah. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Yeah. And that’s the thing. Like,
00:28:30.540 —> 00:28:36.660
so yeah, that is, that’s not, that’s not the way that you want a company to behave, right?
00:28:36.660 —> 00:28:41.880
Right. A lot of times it’s not the incident or the thing itself. A lot of times it’s more
00:28:41.880 —> 00:28:48.600
about how does the company respond. Right. Now to that, and you have recently
00:28:48.600 —> 00:28:53.400
gotten on my case to reconsider my password manager.
00:28:53.400 —> 00:28:58.180
Well it’s just that I, so looking, somebody on Mastodon posted a link to all of the last
00:28:58.180 —> 00:29:02.520
past incidents over the past few years and there’ve been like five or six notable ones
00:29:02.520 —> 00:29:09.040
over past several years. I’m talking maybe a six to 10 year span. I don’t even remember.
00:29:09.040 —> 00:29:11.280
I don’t even know how long they’ve been around.
00:29:11.280 —> 00:29:13.560
At one point, they did lose master keys.
00:29:13.560 —> 00:29:16.000
They did lose master passwords.
00:29:16.000 —> 00:29:18.120
Because unlike 1Password,
00:29:18.120 —> 00:29:20.360
1Password doesn’t have any access to your master password.
00:29:20.360 —> 00:29:21.680
They just don’t have it.
00:29:21.680 —> 00:29:22.660
That’s you.
00:29:22.660 —> 00:29:23.920
Only you have that.
00:29:23.920 —> 00:29:25.280
And there are some other differences too
00:29:25.280 —> 00:29:26.640
with how 1Password does their stuff.
00:29:26.640 —> 00:29:28.360
But my main problem with LastPass
00:29:28.360 —> 00:29:31.520
is they keep having these little oopses and they keep,
00:29:31.520 —> 00:29:33.580
you know, my concerns are more about the company itself.
00:29:33.580 —> 00:29:37.780
And then also reading on, as you know,
00:29:37.780 —> 00:29:41.980
big security culture there now, following some of those people and reading some of the
00:29:41.980 —> 00:29:45.280
things that they’ve had to say about it. They’re not super impressed either with a lot of the
00:29:45.280 —> 00:29:51.680
technical things that LastPass is doing, not just its response to this. And so that’s why
00:29:51.680 —> 00:29:56.540
it was more of my sense that boy, LastPass keeps having stuff happen to them. And I get
00:29:56.540 —> 00:30:01.900
the problem with switching when you’ve got all that stuff in one place, it’s super hard
00:30:01.900 —> 00:30:03.820
to move it over to another place.
00:30:03.820 —> 00:30:06.380
It shouldn’t be that hard, I think.
00:30:06.380 —> 00:30:10.540
So I’ve been using LastPass and it’s been several years right now.
00:30:10.540 —> 00:30:13.180
I only started paying for it a couple of years ago.
00:30:13.180 —> 00:30:15.060
So presumably you have a ton of stuff in there.
00:30:15.060 —> 00:30:21.820
I do, but it shouldn’t be all that hard to just export it out and then import it into
00:30:21.820 —> 00:30:23.760
a 1Password or Bitboard.
00:30:23.760 —> 00:30:25.020
Those are the two that I’m looking at.
00:30:25.020 —> 00:30:26.300
See, I don’t know if that’s true.
00:30:26.300 —> 00:30:29.780
I haven’t even looked to see if 1Password has an import.
00:30:29.780 —> 00:30:33.900
They claim that they do and they have specific instructions on how to do it from LastPass.
00:30:33.900 —> 00:30:35.100
Oh, that’s excellent.
00:30:35.100 —> 00:30:36.100
Okay.
00:30:36.100 —> 00:30:37.840
It’s pretty much export and then import.
00:30:37.840 —> 00:30:40.820
I figured if they weren’t all over that, they should be.
00:30:40.820 —> 00:30:45.860
Well, you know, there’s 1Password manager that’s really, really freaking impossible
00:30:45.860 —> 00:30:48.980
to export out and that’s the Apple Keychain.
00:30:48.980 —> 00:30:49.980
Yes.
00:30:49.980 —> 00:30:54.860
That one’s a pain to get people to like, so if you want to move to a third party password
00:30:54.860 —> 00:30:57.160
manager, ow.
00:30:57.160 —> 00:31:01.980
Here’s the other problem with Keychain, and this is the reason why I don’t use Keychain,
00:31:01.980 —> 00:31:04.580
because Keychain has gotten more useful over the years.
00:31:04.580 —> 00:31:09.740
As you say, there are some limitations, such as, “How do I get my stuff out?”
00:31:09.740 —> 00:31:16.620
Apple once again, once again, Peter, does not understand that some people have families!
00:31:16.620 —> 00:31:20.540
And yeah, I guess a lot of those people at Apple do have families, but they don’t care,
00:31:20.540 —> 00:31:25.820
because they go work 120 hours at a big ring spaceship thingy, and they don’t see their
00:31:25.820 —> 00:31:28.760
and they don’t care what their family does with technology, and when they come home they
00:31:28.760 —> 00:31:31.680
just want them to be quiet so they can sit in front of the TV for two hours before they
00:31:31.680 —> 00:31:33.980
go to bed and then get up and go back to work again.
00:31:33.980 —> 00:31:39.840
Apparently because there is no way to share things with a family member using Apple Keychain.
00:31:39.840 —> 00:31:41.240
And I have to have that.
00:31:41.240 —> 00:31:45.640
Other than going in and manually, you know, manually decrypt the password, copy it, paste
00:31:45.640 —> 00:31:48.080
it and send it to them in an encrypted message?
00:31:48.080 —> 00:31:49.080
Right.
00:31:49.080 —> 00:31:55.140
And before the 1Password family shared plan, we kind of lived that lifestyle anyway,
00:31:55.140 —> 00:31:58.340
Even though we were using 1Password, we would have to send stuff to each other.
00:31:58.340 —> 00:32:02.980
1Password had a way of sharing that was supposedly more secure than sharing plain text, but you
00:32:02.980 —> 00:32:06.680
know it still isn’t what you want to be doing.
00:32:06.680 —> 00:32:09.060
But Apple just hasn’t come up with something like that.
00:32:09.060 —> 00:32:13.660
And I saw, you know, there was one of the Apple employees on Mastodon was like, “Hey,
00:32:13.660 —> 00:32:17.340
if you’re using LastPass and you don’t feel so good about it anymore, here’s all the things
00:32:17.340 —> 00:32:18.340
Apple Keychain can do.”
00:32:18.340 —> 00:32:21.220
And I’m like, “Yeah, but it can’t understand that I have a wife.”
00:32:21.220 —> 00:32:22.220
And I never got a response.
00:32:22.220 —> 00:32:24.940
But you know, it’s like, “Work with me here, dude.”
00:32:24.940 —> 00:32:30.420
So I guess that’s my biggest beef with, I think Keychain is becoming more of a viable
00:32:30.420 —> 00:32:34.840
alternative for some people, but like you said, it still has issues getting stuff in
00:32:34.840 —> 00:32:35.840
and out.
00:32:35.840 —> 00:32:39.060
And then if you have to share it with people, you’re totally hosed.
00:32:39.060 —> 00:32:40.060
Yeah.
00:32:40.060 —> 00:32:43.260
And that’s the thing is like, I’d say for plenty of people, it’s just fine.
00:32:43.260 —> 00:32:48.140
Just use if you just want to use, you know, if you’re, it’s just you on your Apple devices.
00:32:48.140 —> 00:32:49.140
Great, great.
00:32:49.140 —> 00:32:50.140
You’re fine.
00:32:50.140 —> 00:32:51.980
You know, you’re, you’re good.
00:32:51.980 —> 00:32:53.840
You don’t need anything fancy.
00:32:53.840 —> 00:32:54.940
So there you go.
00:32:54.940 —> 00:32:56.960
So talk to me about, well, what’s it called?
00:32:56.960 —> 00:32:57.960
Megadodo?
00:32:57.960 —> 00:32:58.960
Megatrend?
00:32:58.960 —> 00:32:59.960
What’s the one that you like?
00:32:59.960 —> 00:33:00.960
Bitwarden?
00:33:00.960 —> 00:33:01.960
Yeah, Bitwarden, whatever.
00:33:01.960 —> 00:33:05.440
I just, I don’t know, so if I come up with a word, somebody will eventually fill in the
00:33:05.440 —> 00:33:06.440
right word.
00:33:06.440 —> 00:33:07.440
It’s how I…
00:33:07.440 —> 00:33:11.200
If I keep spouting out garbage eventually someone will correct me with something accurate.
00:33:11.200 —> 00:33:12.200
Fair enough.
00:33:12.200 —> 00:33:15.600
I know a lot of people, I work with a lot of people like that.
00:33:15.600 —> 00:33:18.920
Well, the difference is I’m not expecting anyone to believe that I think that’s what
00:33:18.920 —> 00:33:19.920
it is.
00:33:19.920 —> 00:33:21.920
I’m just throwing out things until they correct it with the correct one.
00:33:21.920 —> 00:33:23.160
Oh, I think most of these people know.
00:33:23.160 —> 00:33:26.720
They just just flail and they’ll just wait for someone smart to come along and you know,
00:33:26.720 —> 00:33:27.720
do that.
00:33:27.720 —> 00:33:28.720
I don’t know.
00:33:28.720 —> 00:33:29.720
I, I, well, yeah, there are though.
00:33:29.720 —> 00:33:30.720
Actually.
00:33:30.720 —> 00:33:32.100
Yeah, there are those types more often than not.
00:33:32.100 —> 00:33:35.040
What I see is the people who want you to think they know what they’re talking about.
00:33:35.040 —> 00:33:36.160
No, no, no.
00:33:36.160 —> 00:33:37.160
I don’t see that a lot.
00:33:37.160 —> 00:33:38.160
No.
00:33:38.160 —> 00:33:39.160
Okay.
00:33:39.160 —> 00:33:40.160
So talk to me about bitward.
00:33:40.160 —> 00:33:44.440
So, well, no, the, the one thing that it has that 1Password and last pass don’t is that
00:33:44.440 —> 00:33:46.420
it can be self hosted.
00:33:46.420 —> 00:33:52.420
That is the main reason that I’m looking that I’m considering that because I work with certain
00:33:52.420 —> 00:33:55.560
organizations that would have that as a requirement.
00:33:55.560 —> 00:33:56.400
Oh, okay.
00:33:56.400 —> 00:34:00.040
So you could use it essentially like you would say
00:34:00.040 —> 00:34:02.760
key pass, except as I understand it,
00:34:02.760 —> 00:34:05.540
you can also run a full on server and get all the server
00:34:05.540 —> 00:34:08.880
hosted based functionality, just run it on your
00:34:08.880 —> 00:34:11.440
infrastructure, not somebody else’s.
00:34:11.440 —> 00:34:13.200
So that’s the only reason I’m looking at that.
00:34:13.200 —> 00:34:15.120
Okay, so how would that work?
00:34:15.120 —> 00:34:17.720
Would this be like a public facing server?
00:34:17.720 —> 00:34:19.680
You could make it that way if you wanted to.
00:34:19.680 —> 00:34:21.500
Well, I guess what I’m saying is it’s a server
00:34:21.500 —> 00:34:23.860
that you can access from anywhere.
00:34:23.860 —> 00:34:26.500
Right, well, but that’s the thing is some of my clients
00:34:26.500 —> 00:34:28.980
might not want it accessible from anywhere.
00:34:28.980 —> 00:34:30.500
So they wouldn’t do that.
00:34:30.500 —> 00:34:33.420
No, but I’m asking how would it actually work?
00:34:33.420 —> 00:34:36.300
Well, you would host it on your internal infrastructure
00:34:36.300 —> 00:34:38.100
and not host it just anywhere.
00:34:38.100 —> 00:34:40.220
So it would only be applicable for,
00:34:40.220 —> 00:34:42.940
you could only use it for your work-related stuff at work
00:34:42.940 —> 00:34:44.500
or connected to work.
00:34:44.500 —> 00:34:46.060
In that example, yes.
00:34:46.060 —> 00:34:47.300
I mean, there’s nothing stopping me
00:34:47.300 —> 00:34:50.380
from spinning up a public instance in AWS
00:34:50.380 —> 00:34:51.680
and hosting up there if I wanted to.
00:34:51.680 —> 00:34:53.980
Right, but then, so here’s the thing
00:34:53.980 —> 00:34:55.240
that I always think about.
00:34:55.240 —> 00:34:56.680
Look at LastPass.
00:34:56.680 —> 00:35:00.420
Now, you are the guy that is responsible
00:35:00.420 —> 00:35:01.960
for not being LastPass.
00:35:01.960 —> 00:35:03.680
I don’t want that burden.
00:35:03.680 —> 00:35:05.120
I don’t want that burden. Exactly.
00:35:05.120 —> 00:35:09.240
That’s why I pay 1Password to host the family vaults.
00:35:09.240 —> 00:35:10.080
Yeah, yep.
00:35:10.080 —> 00:35:12.640
And the minute I find out they’re not trustworthy,
00:35:12.640 —> 00:35:13.600
I go away.
00:35:13.600 —> 00:35:16.400
Yep, but that’s the other part too,
00:35:16.400 —> 00:35:19.480
is that if Bitwarden was to have a problem
00:35:19.480 —> 00:35:24.280
to make you want to leave them, it would have to be in the source code.
00:35:24.280 —> 00:35:29.480
Right? So because you’re running their stuff, you’re not using their infrastructure.
00:35:29.480 —> 00:35:33.080
So it’d have to be something wrong with their code that would cause you to leave them,
00:35:33.080 —> 00:35:40.180
as opposed to their shoddy practices and their own infrastructure issues that cause you to not like LastPass.
00:35:40.180 —> 00:35:44.680
Right. I guess with that, I’d be less worried about Bitwarden software,
00:35:44.680 —> 00:35:46.980
and more worried about my ability
00:35:46.980 —> 00:35:48.800
to adequately secure a server
00:35:48.800 —> 00:35:52.560
that happens to be hosting a password manager.
00:35:52.560 —> 00:35:53.640
Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:53.640 —> 00:35:56.880
Now on the work network, it would be less of a concern.
00:35:56.880 —> 00:35:59.860
You’d still obviously want it as secure as possible,
00:35:59.860 —> 00:36:04.240
but if I have to connect to my VPN to get access to that,
00:36:04.240 —> 00:36:07.600
that’s better than me putting something on a line node
00:36:07.600 —> 00:36:09.720
and going, “Hey, you know what?
00:36:09.720 —> 00:36:12.160
This’ll be great, I’ll use this for my passwords.
00:36:12.160 —> 00:36:13.640
Only I’m in control of it.”
00:36:13.640 —> 00:36:17.720
and then some hacker who’s scanning ports finds a way out on my server and there’s my
00:36:17.720 —> 00:36:19.600
Bitwarden stuff.
00:36:19.600 —> 00:36:21.480
What could possibly go wrong?
00:36:21.480 —> 00:36:22.880
What could possibly go wrong, Peter?
00:36:22.880 —> 00:36:23.960
Yeah, that’s interesting.
00:36:23.960 —> 00:36:26.080
That’s a really cool option.
00:36:26.080 —> 00:36:31.360
And like you said, for certain circumstances, probably 100% necessary or required.
00:36:31.360 —> 00:36:32.360
Good to know.
00:36:32.360 —> 00:36:34.400
What are you going to do about your dada?
00:36:34.400 —> 00:36:35.880
What’s your dada have right now?
00:36:35.880 —> 00:36:37.040
He also has LastPass.
00:36:37.040 —> 00:36:38.860
We have the LastPass families.
00:36:38.860 —> 00:36:39.860
So here’s the other thing.
00:36:39.860 —> 00:36:40.860
Okay.
00:36:40.860 —> 00:36:45.060
to say to me, you know what, I’ve looked at LastPasswords problems. Okay, there’s some
00:36:45.060 —> 00:36:48.260
problems, but it is not worth the grief of me trying to get my dad to switch something
00:36:48.260 —> 00:36:53.100
else. I would accept that as a completely valid answer, my friend, because what a nightmare
00:36:53.100 —> 00:36:56.280
scenario that could be. Here’s the thing is though, he doesn’t even
00:36:56.280 —> 00:37:03.340
know how to use LastPass, so it’s fine. How does he get to his passwords?
00:37:03.340 —> 00:37:07.020
He doesn’t even remember his master password. How does he get to his passwords?
00:37:07.020 —> 00:37:10.440
I have the browser automatically fill them in for him.
00:37:10.440 —> 00:37:13.400
So it could literally be anything and he wouldn’t care.
00:37:13.400 —> 00:37:14.400
He has no idea.
00:37:14.400 —> 00:37:17.500
As long as some magical thing puts the password in for him.
00:37:17.500 —> 00:37:19.340
That magical thing is known as his son.
00:37:19.340 —> 00:37:21.500
Okay, but here’s the problem.
00:37:21.500 —> 00:37:25.440
One password might not be what you want to use then because occasionally 1Password
00:37:25.440 —> 00:37:27.800
will ask you for your password.
00:37:27.800 —> 00:37:31.060
Occasionally, LastPass does as well.
00:37:31.060 —> 00:37:35.780
Usually like if the browser extension gets updated or something and then he’ll call me
00:37:35.780 —> 00:37:40.900
and say, “I don’t remember the password.” And since he has, you know, assistants come in and
00:37:40.900 —> 00:37:46.900
help him every now and then. So Peter gets in his car and drives from Boston? I don’t put his
00:37:46.900 —> 00:37:51.940
password on a sticky note that he could, you know, they could also access, which I’m sure if he knew
00:37:51.940 —> 00:37:55.860
the password, he would happily just give it to them because he doesn’t know who not to trust.
00:37:55.860 —> 00:38:01.700
You could call, you could pretend to be anybody and call him and ask for his password. Oh, okay.
00:38:02.580 —> 00:38:09.220
Yeah, so anyway, yeah, and I can see now all the social engineering attacks are going to target my father.
00:38:09.220 —> 00:38:14.980
By the way, you can locate Peter’s dad here. Just kidding. You can’t.
00:38:14.980 —> 00:38:24.100
So out of all of the users on Strava, I got my year in review.
00:38:24.100 —> 00:38:29.300
Well, I’m pretty sure it’s not Elon Musk following you because he does not look like a guy who uses Strava.
00:38:30.100 —> 00:38:37.460
Drava tells me that I am now in their top 1% of activity.
00:38:37.460 —> 00:38:40.100
Are you like the last guy on Strava? Is that what it is?
00:38:40.100 —> 00:38:47.140
There are 995 million active users on Strava, so they claim.
00:38:47.140 —> 00:38:52.260
So how do you get into the 1%? Did they tell you what that criteria is based upon?
00:38:52.260 —> 00:38:58.740
They said by “active,” so I would say probably minutes of activity, maybe miles moved, I don’t know.
00:38:58.740 —> 00:39:04.020
Okay, so I guess what I’m wondering is, are half these people only logging certain events
00:39:04.020 —> 00:39:07.140
to Strava and they don’t log their every single workout like you do?
00:39:07.140 —> 00:39:13.300
Well, what you got to think about is that 1% of 95 million is 950,000.
00:39:13.300 —> 00:39:23.060
So I and 950,000 of my closest colleagues are top 1%. So when you look at it in raw numbers,
00:39:23.060 —> 00:39:25.540
it’s not that impressive because there are a lot of us up there.
00:39:26.660 —> 00:39:31.060
But hey, still 1%. Yeah, top 1% on Strava, man.
00:39:31.060 —> 00:39:32.900
I don’t know what to think about that, Peter.
00:39:32.900 —> 00:39:35.220
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
00:39:35.220 —> 00:39:39.780
Right, exactly. I think you should do some research and find out exactly what their criteria is.
00:39:39.780 —> 00:39:44.900
Who your competitors for this 1% mark are. Top 1%, that’s pretty high.
00:39:44.900 —> 00:39:50.980
Well, my competitors are 950,000 other people. That’s a lot. You want me to list them all?
00:39:50.980 —> 00:39:53.780
Okay. And then there’s like 9 billion lazy people on Strava, right?
00:39:53.780 —> 00:40:02.340
95 million. Yes. 94 million lazy people. Yes. So yes, there you go. So I’m in the top million
00:40:02.340 —> 00:40:06.900
of Strava. Let’s just put it that way. Okay. When we say that, it doesn’t sound all that impressive.
00:40:06.900 —> 00:40:12.660
Well, it does. I don’t think I would log daily workouts to Strava. If I would log events,
00:40:12.660 —> 00:40:16.580
like if I ever did a century again, or I did any kind of running event, I would log that.
00:40:16.580 —> 00:40:22.660
I do like some of the stuff that they use, some of the stuff that they give. Now with the last
00:40:22.660 —> 00:40:31.220
iOS update, Apple added a lot more useful data in the Fitness app. But for one thing, it’s just
00:40:31.220 —> 00:40:36.500
really nice to be able to view it on a big screen on a web browser and not have to stare at my
00:40:36.500 —> 00:40:42.580
little phone to try to figure stuff out. Strava lets me more easily import and export stuff.
00:40:42.580 —> 00:40:46.900
Strava lets me track stuff that I don’t do exclusively with my Apple Watch. Now,
00:40:46.900 —> 00:40:50.500
that’s not much, but it also does stuff like…
00:40:50.500 —> 00:40:56.380
Hey, can you hold that up again tracks your gear that is beautiful. Oh my god. That is the new band
00:40:56.380 —> 00:40:58.680
I got to I saw that. Oh my god
00:40:58.680 —> 00:41:03.140
Nylon Peter you are more attractive than ever. Well, thank you
00:41:03.140 —> 00:41:10.860
One thing that Strava does though is it tracks gear so you can track your shoes and your bikes. Yeah. Yeah
00:41:10.860 —> 00:41:14.120
Yeah, you know, it’s got some pretty pretty slick
00:41:14.120 —> 00:41:20.140
So I’m liking it and I even I pay for it one of the things thoughts right I have to reinstall on my phone
00:41:20.140 —> 00:41:24.740
They have an app called Recover. Why are you still paying? You’re in the top 1%?
00:41:24.740 —> 00:41:32.500
They have an app called Recover, which has rehab and prehab routines. And I realized
00:41:32.500 —> 00:41:36.120
I haven’t been running that since I wiped my phone out.
00:41:36.120 —> 00:41:38.980
They’re going to say since you wiped your shoulder out.
00:41:38.980 —> 00:41:46.620
No, that’s been three years. I know, but I’m telling you, those daily 100 push-ups are not
00:41:46.620 —> 00:41:48.580
helping the shoulder, buddy. I’m just here to tell you.
00:41:48.580 —> 00:41:51.460
I haven’t been doing 100 daily.
00:41:51.460 —> 00:41:53.620
You need to listen to Blurring the Lines more often, my friend.
00:41:53.620 —> 00:41:57.340
I did, and it sounded like you were just coming to the conclusion finally that maybe you shouldn’t
00:41:57.340 —> 00:41:58.340
do all those push-ups.
00:41:58.340 —> 00:42:04.380
Well, I think that if I was doing them all slowly, well-formed, and listening to my body,
00:42:04.380 —> 00:42:09.180
then that they probably wouldn’t be hurting, but I definitely have not been doing that.
00:42:09.180 —> 00:42:13.980
I don’t know if that’s a given, because I was very careful about the way I did push-ups,
00:42:13.980 —> 00:42:15.100
and I listened to my body.
00:42:15.100 —> 00:42:19.180
I would only do as many as I didn’t say I have to do X number or I’m gonna die
00:42:19.180 —> 00:42:21.300
I said I’ll do as many as it feels good and
00:42:21.300 —> 00:42:27.880
Still it aggravated my shoulder like crazy. The only push-ups I can do at this point are incline push-ups
00:42:27.880 —> 00:42:31.620
I get a very I’m talking 45 degrees at the most
00:42:31.620 —> 00:42:37.780
Wall presses if you have to yeah, yeah. Yeah, and and I do other PT exercises, too
00:42:37.780 —> 00:42:40.300
Of course, but I’m just saying I don’t know what it is about push-ups
00:42:40.300 —> 00:42:44.820
But that particular motion when I’m doing planks I can feel that shoulder
00:42:44.820 —> 00:42:52.240
And so like if I’m doing a plank and for in yoga, and then you’re supposed to lower yourself to the mat and then do your
00:42:52.240 —> 00:42:56.260
Cobra or whatever is that what I’m thinking of Cobra chaturanga?
00:42:56.260 —> 00:43:02.980
Yeah, I mean if you’re doing a classic vinyasa that is anyway when I do that when I lower myself
00:43:02.980 —> 00:43:06.140
I don’t just lower myself. I can’t it will kill my shoulder
00:43:06.140 —> 00:43:08.800
I have to let my knees touch before my upper body touches
00:43:10.000 —> 00:43:15.380
But that I just know that that particular motion for whatever reason it does a number on the rotator cuff
00:43:15.380 —> 00:43:21.000
I wouldn’t be too surprised if it does a number on your rotator cuff time will tell we’ll find out
00:43:21.000 —> 00:43:25.200
Yeah, yeah, because like I was saying on blurring the lines that you know
00:43:25.200 —> 00:43:32.040
I haven’t been doing a ton of upper body stuff for you know, like even the yoga that I’m practicing
00:43:32.040 —> 00:43:34.760
There’s not a lot of vinyasa in it. Not a lot of chaturanga
00:43:34.760 —> 00:43:39.760
Haven’t been doing a lot of boxing not doing any jujitsu now for years
00:43:39.760 —> 00:43:42.860
and I’m still feeling, you know, pain.
00:43:42.860 —> 00:43:46.340
Although, so yesterday, no day before yesterday,
00:43:46.340 —> 00:43:47.720
yesterday I drove to Vermont
00:43:47.720 —> 00:43:49.380
to see my parents for Christmas.
00:43:49.380 —> 00:43:54.380
The day before, I did three sets of side planks
00:43:54.380 —> 00:43:57.420
to mostly work on my low body,
00:43:57.420 —> 00:43:59.380
but also works on the shoulders.
00:43:59.380 —> 00:44:02.780
So my physical therapist incorporated that into my routine.
00:44:02.780 —> 00:44:06.160
My shoulder has not felt better
00:44:06.160 —> 00:44:07.580
like in the last couple of years
00:44:07.580 —> 00:44:10.620
since after doing just three rounds of side planks.
00:44:10.620 —> 00:44:12.180
So whatever that motion was,
00:44:12.180 —> 00:44:15.580
that was activating the stuff that I need in my shoulder
00:44:15.580 —> 00:44:18.140
to like alleviate all of the discomfort.
00:44:18.140 —> 00:44:20.880
So I may switch my daily pushups
00:44:20.880 —> 00:44:22.980
to daily side planks instead.
00:44:22.980 —> 00:44:23.940
That’s not a bad idea.
00:44:23.940 —> 00:44:28.580
I will say, I think that part of the reason
00:44:28.580 —> 00:44:33.420
that my shoulder got the way it did is that for so long,
00:44:33.420 —> 00:44:37.540
I did nothing with upper body, nothing at all.
00:44:37.540 —> 00:44:40.780
And then I started trying to do the pushups and I didn’t just dive into it
00:44:40.780 —> 00:44:44.780
insanely because I was weak to begin with, you know, relatively weak to begin with,
00:44:44.780 —> 00:44:47.540
but I probably did too much and,
00:44:47.540 —> 00:44:51.780
or I needed to be doing other things besides that in order to keep that from
00:44:51.780 —> 00:44:52.740
happening. Yeah.
00:44:52.740 —> 00:44:57.380
I just think it was a big mistake to do zero on upper body for all those years.
00:44:57.380 —> 00:45:01.100
Well, I’m enjoying the fact that right now my,
00:45:01.100 —> 00:45:02.940
my PT exercises,
00:45:02.960 —> 00:45:07.960
I think I’m going to be able to turn them into my ongoing strength training
00:45:07.960 —> 00:45:10.840
routine. Yeah. So, you know,
00:45:10.840 —> 00:45:14.440
I’m planning on doing these couple of times a week maybe. It depends, you know,
00:45:14.440 —> 00:45:18.240
depends on, um, you know, what my, my other routine is, but you know,
00:45:18.240 —> 00:45:20.520
a little bit of upper body, keep things, you know,
00:45:20.520 —> 00:45:24.600
keep things toned and moving and, uh, you know, a lot more lower body. So.
00:45:24.600 —> 00:45:27.840
Yeah. I think some of mine I will as well. I think I just need to, it’ll,
00:45:27.840 —> 00:45:31.840
there’ll be some adaptation, right? Like there’ll be more resistance for sure.
00:45:31.840 —> 00:45:33.780
or there’ll be some slight changes,
00:45:33.780 —> 00:45:36.600
but the exercises themselves, I think they work pretty well.
00:45:36.600 —> 00:45:37.440
Yep.
00:45:37.440 —> 00:45:39.320
Well, we should go soon, but before we do,
00:45:39.320 —> 00:45:41.480
I wanna play one clip for you, Peter.
00:45:41.480 —> 00:45:43.100
Do you know what this is?
00:45:43.100 —> 00:45:46.860
I think I can tell by the line in the show notes, yeah.
00:45:46.860 —> 00:45:47.700
It’s gonna be great.
00:45:47.700 —> 00:45:49.620
I think you have sent me some funny stuff lately,
00:45:49.620 —> 00:45:52.340
and I thought that we should do a little segment.
00:45:52.340 —> 00:45:56.220
Yes, not everything is from John Siracusa, but—
00:45:56.220 —> 00:45:58.780
Not everything can be Siracusa says, yeah.
00:45:58.780 —> 00:45:59.660
Right, well, I was gonna say,
00:45:59.660 —> 00:46:03.340
But those things that are from John Siracusa, those have a special place.
00:46:03.340 —> 00:46:07.260
And that special place is Siracusasays.com.
00:46:07.260 —> 00:46:12.220
So the nuggets of wisdom that Scott and I deemed to be nuggets of wisdom from
00:46:12.220 —> 00:46:15.460
arguably our favorite podcaster, John Siracusa,
00:46:15.460 —> 00:46:19.260
go over to our tribute site, Siracusa Says.
00:46:19.260 —> 00:46:22.500
We should probably shout out him out, shout him out on Mastodon,
00:46:22.500 —> 00:46:24.220
let him know that that site exists.
00:46:24.220 —> 00:46:28.980
I thought about that. And then I, you know, he seems pretty easy going.
00:46:29.220 —> 00:46:34.740
I’ve had super minor interactions with him in the past on social networks and but I’m
00:46:34.740 —> 00:46:39.420
most afraid to let him know because I don’t want him to think we’re mocking him and I
00:46:39.420 —> 00:46:45.140
don’t think it’s a fun collection of things John Siracusa has said these are great. They’re
00:46:45.140 —> 00:46:49.900
great. Okay. Well anyway, did you check the did you check the is is ATP released under
00:46:49.900 —> 00:46:55.300
a Creative Commons license or what? I doubt it. I doubt it very much. I wouldn’t do that
00:46:55.300 —> 00:46:59.780
if I was them. They’ve got gold there buddy. So he could sue the hell out of us then. Right,
00:46:59.780 —> 00:47:06.260
but I have on our FAQ that if at any time in the universe John Siracusa does not feel good
00:47:06.260 —> 00:47:11.700
about this, this will stop immediately. Yeah, but that’s not going to stop any good lawyer who knows
00:47:11.700 —> 00:47:16.580
what the hell they’re doing. Why are you doing this? But it says right here, “upon John Siracusa’s
00:47:16.580 —> 00:47:21.140
request, we will immediately cease and desist, transfer the domain name to him, hand over all
00:47:21.140 —> 00:47:26.020
content within, provide him with all source code and assets, and apologize repeatedly
00:47:26.020 —> 00:47:27.900
in public and in private.
00:47:27.900 —> 00:47:29.780
Jesus, that’s pretty extreme.
00:47:29.780 —> 00:47:34.380
Well, I’m trying to be a good person here, okay?
00:47:34.380 —> 00:47:37.180
But I’m not telling him, so I guess that’s not helping in my favor.
00:47:37.180 —> 00:47:38.180
Okay.
00:47:38.180 —> 00:47:39.180
Anyway, let me play…
00:47:39.180 —> 00:47:43.380
So if anybody has never heard the episode of…
00:47:43.380 —> 00:47:45.500
Was it ATP that had the windows of Siracusa County?
00:47:45.500 —> 00:47:46.940
I think that was ATP.
00:47:46.940 —> 00:47:50.660
Go find the windows of Siracusa County on ATP.
00:47:50.660 —> 00:47:52.480
It is a treasure.
00:47:52.480 —> 00:47:55.480
It is the most beautiful thing you will listen to.
00:47:55.480 —> 00:47:57.520
And then re-listen to this clip that I’m about to play.
00:47:57.520 —> 00:47:59.480
This is from… what’s it called?
00:47:59.480 —> 00:48:00.480
Grumpy Geeks?
00:48:00.480 —> 00:48:01.480
Or something like that?
00:48:01.480 —> 00:48:02.480
What’s it called?
00:48:02.480 —> 00:48:03.480
Grumpy Old Geeks.
00:48:03.480 —> 00:48:04.480
Okay.
00:48:04.480 —> 00:48:05.480
Grumpy Old Geeks podcast.
00:48:05.480 —> 00:48:07.220
”I reopened Edge and clicked on the restore button that’s part of Edge, but Edge crashes
00:48:07.220 —> 00:48:11.760
and closes again after a minute of trying to restore my 1600 open tabs.”
00:48:11.760 —> 00:48:13.760
You’re doing it wrong, buddy.
00:48:13.760 —> 00:48:15.840
You’re doing it wrong.
00:48:15.840 —> 00:48:17.840
I don’t think you understand internet.
00:48:17.840 —> 00:48:20.560
No, you don’t know how the f*** to use the internet.
00:48:20.560 —> 00:48:22.400
Have you heard of bookmark?
00:48:22.400 —> 00:48:23.400
Nope.
00:48:23.400 —> 00:48:24.400
Nope.
00:48:24.400 —> 00:48:25.400
Nope.
00:48:25.400 —> 00:48:26.400
They just keep opening tabs.
00:48:26.400 —> 00:48:30.600
It’s like when I see somebody’s phone and they have like 8,000 unread emails and I just
00:48:30.600 —> 00:48:32.600
want to tear my skin off my face.
00:48:32.600 —> 00:48:35.200
Oh, I’ve seen them over 100,000.
00:48:35.200 —> 00:48:40.000
I’ve seen them over 100,000 unread messages in an email and I’m just like, “Oh my God.”
00:48:40.000 —> 00:48:44.000
Have the decency to turn off the number on your icon, sir.
00:48:44.000 —> 00:48:49.360
I’m just like, how dirty are your private parts?
00:48:49.360 —> 00:48:53.000
You have to be a filthy human being if you can’t get rid of your emails.
00:48:53.000 —> 00:48:54.580
I agree with everything they said.
00:48:54.580 —> 00:48:57.760
See now like John Siracusa’s use case would drive me insane.
00:48:57.760 —> 00:49:00.900
I am more like John Siracusa than I’m like Marco and Casey.
00:49:00.900 —> 00:49:02.220
I don’t close stuff all the time.
00:49:02.220 —> 00:49:06.300
I leave stuff open for long periods of time and I go back to it.
00:49:06.300 —> 00:49:10.140
But I’m way more on the end of the spectrum approaching them than I am on the end of the
00:49:10.140 —> 00:49:11.280
spectrum approaching zone.
00:49:11.280 —> 00:49:16.900
John Siracusa who has billions of windows open, each with their own amazing set of tabs,
00:49:16.900 —> 00:49:20.220
terminal windows open and somehow he just thinks that in his brain he’s gonna know how
00:49:20.220 —> 00:49:23.100
to find that instantly and that he’s more efficient that way.
00:49:23.100 —> 00:49:24.340
1600 tabs.
00:49:24.340 —> 00:49:28.540
I will put a link in the show notes for the windows of Siracusa County.
00:49:28.540 —> 00:49:29.680
You have to.
00:49:29.680 —> 00:49:30.680
You have to.
00:49:30.680 —> 00:49:31.680
That’s all I’m gonna say.
00:49:31.680 —> 00:49:32.680
Another good episode.
00:49:32.680 —> 00:49:33.680
Yes.
00:49:33.680 —> 00:49:36.220
Well on that note, I think we should wrap up this show.
00:49:36.220 —> 00:49:37.220
What do you think?
00:49:37.220 —> 00:49:38.220
I think so.
00:49:38.220 —> 00:49:40.580
But before we do that, shouldn’t we tell people where to find us?
00:49:40.580 —> 00:49:42.700
Yeah, we should tell people where to find us, Peter.
00:49:42.700 —> 00:49:43.980
