Ok basically patched this up now 🥳
Note to self:
- Don't rely on DaVinci Resolve to auto-align 3 audio sources (2 mics and the camera).
- Be sure to manually adjust the waveform BEFORE you start cutting up the footage.
I just had to manually shift 25 bits of audio 😭

Do I know anyone on here that uses 2x DJI Mic 2 transmitters for recording two people next to each other?
A plus would be if you also use DaVinci Resolve.
If so, could you please share your setup? I'm struggling to fix a slight echo throughout a video 😩
Would love to avoid this in future work.

I’m really liking Pluribus!
The recent episode was a bit of a slow one (as I’ve come to expect after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)
But I’m absolutely ok with that. The cinematography is on point, and I find the whole concept of the show intriguing.

I've lost my way with RSS again 😭
I'd been using Reeder for a bit and I liked it, I think I still do? I just don't find myself opening the app anymore (on desktop or mobile)
Maybe trying a new tool will help? I found this one which looks interesting: feeeed.nateparrott.com
Going to give it a spin!

Just successfully got a GitHub Action setup that'll take any changes to my 11ty site, build it, and SSH rsync the output over to my Hetzner VPS on a subdomain.
I'm so happy! 🥳

Just finalized moving some last bits out of Notion and into Obsidian!
I've really come to appreciate the recent Bases feature they added, which now provides three view types (Table, Gallery, and List) and acts pretty much the same to how I was using it previously.

Cool, here's an easy way to unlock 8 additional accent colours for your macOS (macOS 11.3.1 and up) 🎨
It's a shame we can't pick any colour we want, but that pink option is very close to my brand red, so I'm happy.

Use iMac M1 accent colours on any Mac - George Garside
The new colourful iMac M1s have corresponding accent colours set across the system. These colours are unique to these Macs, but there's a workaround so you can set these colours on your own Mac.

Might be time I got around to actually sorting some of these... 🙃
This is the digital equivalent to shoving stuff into a draw to deal with another day. I'm real good at it. Well, the first part anyway.

Just watched episode 1 of Pluribus. We're off to an incredibly strong start! Had me captivated the whole way through.
