iPhone Continuity Cam webcam magsafe monitor mount by josephsamela
MacOS 13.0 Ventura brings a new feature called "Continuity Camera" that allows you to use your iPhone as a webcam. This project is an adjustable mount that clips onto the top of your monitor to allow you to easily position your iPhone like you would any traditional webcam. This design includes a magsafe charger that allows you to magnetically attach/remove the iPhone as well as keep it charged during long video calls.
You will need a single M5x20 machine bolt and nut. I printed on my Ender 3 in PLA. The monitor is a Dell P2715Q. I used this aftermarket magsafe charger to save a couple bucks, https://a.co/d/cMp75Tx.
Mastodon - be findable with your domain (on Firebase hosting)
While it’s cool to host your own Mastodon server, it’s not really efficient. A simple thing you can do, however, is to make it easier for others to discover your presence, if they already know your website. Try it out – search for “johnmu@johnmu.com” in your Mastodon instance. Also, click “follow” for SEO tips & other bad takes.
Why is hosting your own instance inefficient? In short, sending updates between users (followers, followees) means connections between their individual servers, and if everyone has their own server, it’s a lot of network activity.

Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
Every time I post something that gets lots of engagement, I essentially end up carrying out a denial of service attack on myself. What does this say about the design of Mastodon and ActivityPub and the future of the fediverse?
I said that Mastodon moderation wouldn't scale, it does. The cultural differences will likely continue to maintain a friendlier atmosphere regardless of size.
Masto-Redirect, a Mastodon Shortcut to Redirect Profiles and Posts to Your Own Instance
Like many others over the past month, I’ve been thinking deeply about my experience with Twitter and whether I want to align my social media usage with the kind of platform Twitter is rapidly becoming. It’s a complex discussion (if my readers are still on Twitter, am I doing them a disservice by not using
Mastodon Isn’t Just A Replacement For Twitter | NOEMA
Users flocking to the platform will need to shift their expectations for social media and become engaged democratic citizens in the life of their networks.
The age of Big Social may be ending, as advertisers shift to platforms like TikTok and streaming video that are more like entertainment channels. For many reasons, we say: good riddance. The damage commercial social media has done to politics, relationships and the fabric of society needs undoing. As media scholar Victor Pickard suggests, “Hopefully Twitter’s collapse will lead to a more expansive conversation about the relationships between capitalist imperatives and the communication [and] information needs of democratic societies.”
But the fediverse is not a utopia — it’s just software. Though it facilitates community self-governance, it does not guarantee it
Learning how to self-govern on social media will take time. It will present new kinds of challenges and new crises. But when the alternative is top-down control by unaccountable corporations and capricious billionaires, we have to try.
