@loige Thanks for another high signal episode, @loige. It's also really useful as a recap if preparing for an #AWS exam. 📚🙏

@SelfHostedShow @jupitersignal Thanks for the great show. I think, @heretorecord could be a great guest as he has a great deal of experience using Bitfocus Companion. Check out his YouTube channel: https://t.co/y0z2s8rqqk

@AllenHeltonDev I can't imagine the pain you must be going through. All the best to your little one, Allen. 💙

Nobody likes to work with DynamoDB JSON

@syntaxfm @tomayac @wesbos No need to install anything as it ships with macOS. Still looking forward to having an alternative browser-based option in the future, though.

@syntaxfm @tomayac Thanks for another great episode.

@wesbos, just wanted to share a neat image converter tip on macOS. The "sips" CLI tool can be used to convert HEIC to JPEG files:

`sips -s format jpeg *.HEIC --out <dir>`

Can be combined with a LaunchAgent to watch a dir and run automatically.

@iann0036 Great post. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

Such a great talk on using Kinesis with Lambda by @anahit_fi . This is how it should be done: Focus on what can go wrong and how to deal with those situations. 🙏 https://t.co/pG7f5fkcDu

Huge thank you to @loige for bringing the exam accommodation for non-native English speakers to my attention. Those extra 30 minutes were greatly appreciated 🙏🙃

Recently conquered the #AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional Exam! 🎉 In my latest blog post, I'm peeling back the layers of this challenging journey and share a few tips and lessons learned.

@heitor_lessa @loige Wow. Didn't know this is possible. Thanks 💡👍

[Paul Galow @paulgalow]

@loige I've been wanting to do just that. Very useful. Thank you! 🙏

[Paul Galow @paulgalow]

@houlihan_rick I'm so sorry, Rick. I can't begin to imagine the pain you're going through. Your work has inspired me, and I hope you find some strength in this difficult time.

TIL: There is a special SES simulator address `success+<user-string-here>@simulator.amazonses.com` Cognito recommends when testing user signups. This prevents e-mails from creating lots of hard bounces (and me receiving an AWS notification about that). https://t.co/aFpsZn3E0l

Troubleshooting CloudFront distribution settings is a challenge in Zen-like patience. Reducing deployment time is probably a huge challenge given the distributed nature of CDNs. But what about adding another Price Class "50" that deploys a distribution in one region only? #AWS

Impressed by the Voice Isolation feature in macOS and i*OS. Great for spontaneous voice calls without a headset in Teams or Zoom. It even works with phone calls. 👍

[Paul Galow @paulgalow]

@theburningmonk I'm thinking: Could this be achieved using QUIC connection migration to hand over a running connection from Lambda to Lambda as they approach timeout. Then again, does Lambda and your third party API even support QUIC? Unlikely, I guess.

Hey @wesbos and @stolinski, just listened to your latest supper club and had to share this with you: In macOS there is now a built-in Finder quick action to automatically remove an image's background. 🤯 https://t.co/42QEgG351w
