it's always important to consider the opposite viewpoint

hot take: Dutch is basically German with a funny accent

I decided to set up a URL shortener on my short domain, aaronpk.com, thanks to some recent discussion in the IndieWeb chat.
I found an open source project that is basically exactly what I would have built if I had built my own: https://polrproject.org/
The installation wasn't seamless, but I'm familiar enough with the tech it's built on so I managed to get it set up. I also made one modification to it, which is that if you type in a short URL that doesn't exist, it redirects to the same path on aaronparecki.com, so that all my regular pages now automatically have a short URL.
This is definitely a lot nicer than my previous solution of adding URLs to a text file. -
Yesterday there was cilantro in my soup, and suddenly it tasted so much like soap that I couldn't eat it.
Over the last few months, I've noticed that cilantro has started tasting bad, but didn't really think much of it. I looked up the food sensitivity list of people who also think cilantro tastes like soap, and now I am super confused, because most of these are my favorite flavors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster#Specific_food_sensitivities
• Gins, tequilas, and hoppy beers are my favorite
• I eat brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale all the time
• I am a huge fan of coffee, always unsweetened
• grapefruit juice is a staple in my fridge
• I make my own tonic with quinine so that I can make it less sweet and more bitter than normal
• I enjoy ridiculously spicy foods, and I eat raw habaneros for breakfast every morning
So why is cilantro the one that tastes bad to me? And why did this change? I used to enjoy cilantro! I didn't think this sensitivity was something that could change in people over time. -

Better Default Security for IndieAuth Login Forms
Last year, I posted a JavaScript snippet that I've started using in all my projects that have an IndieAuth login form, which will automatically add the http scheme if you type a plain domain. This is particularly a problem because the iOS keyboard doesn't include the : character in URL mode.continue reading... -
Post-IndieWebCamp hacking continues at the hotel bar! Made a few more minor improvements to Monocle:
• Defaults to "https" when you type in a domain, and if that fails, will fall back to http, rather than the other way around
• Added a logout button
• Added mobile screenshots to the wiki
• Updated the indieauth-client-php library to bubble up things like ssl errors so that apps using the library can report errors better -

First #IndieWebCamp hack day project complete! I'm finally starting to get an understanding of CSS Grid.
Thanks to help from @tantek I was able to fix the display of my monthly calendars at https://aaronparecki.com/2019/04 by switching from table display to flex>grid>flex with table>tr>td markup. Kept the table markup and was able to remove one level of nested divs inside too!
The <table> element is a flexbox, the <tr>s are a grid, and the <td>s inside are a flexbox. This lets the rows of the calendar vary in height, but forces the height of the cells of each row to be the same height. Finally the city names at the bottom are able to be "stuck" to the bottom of the cell.
