Danger! Insecure Clock!
Sunday night during the live show, we noticed a big problem with the page for the live show, podfeet.com/live. It wasn’t showing all of the elements of the page. At the top when it’s working properly, you should see a clock that tells you what time it is at my house. It’s not that I’m […]

In this week’s show we talk quite a bit about the tech behind the live show. I did a new diagram of how I broadcast my audio, Steve’s audio and my video to YouTube Live and to Alpha Geek Media and more. I created it with draw.io and you can see it at podfeet.com/blog/nosillacast-live/live-show-setup/. I […]

Steve and I are about to become grandparents, so there’s likely to be some disruption to the show schedule in the next few weeks.

This week’s Dumb Question comes from Steve Ladhams and it’s a fantastic question. He wrote: Dear Allison Love the show. You bring tech knowledge to the masses. Well done. I have a question about MacOS security as my first Mac, an early 2009 24″ iMac and my son’s Mac Mini from 2009 (second hand from […]

I’m really lucky to know Steve’s dad, Ken. You may remember him from his video appearance entitled “Octogenarian Talks 1Password”. He’s not super technical but he is VERY motivated towards security. He works really hard to understand the risks of online computing and to do whatever he can to mitigate these risks. He’s actually a […]

I got to ask all my image editor questions of Bart Busschots and Antonio Rosario on Episode 33 of the Let’s Talk Photography podcast at lets-talk.ie/…. For my simple needs, Tree from topoftree.jp/… for only $12 in the Mac App Store is a fabulous outlining tool. Because of our fabulous community I learned about the […]
Continue readingTwo-Factor Authorization Not as Bad as I Thought
After a couple of weeks with Apple and Google two-factor authentication running, I thought I should give you an update. After the initial huge pain from Google, and the very mild pain from adding two-factor authentication from Apple, they both settled down and I haven’t been challenged for an authorization code in the last couple […]
Continue readingNC #577 Two-Factor Authentication with Google and then Apple, Hazel Video Field Guide, Security Bits
I bit the bullet this week and turned on two-factor authentication for both my NosillaCast Google Account and my Apple ID. It was an “interesting” adventure in the same vein as the Chinese curse, “May you have interesting times.” The two experiences were really different and I’m not sure which one was better. In-between those […]
