I just booked a work flight for the first time in 15 months!
It's just a day trip up to Seattle, but I'm still excited to get on a plane again! ✈️

Spent a good chunk of the afternoon on some printer upgrades for my Prusa Mini.
- Installed the Bondtech heat break https://www.bondtech.se/product/bondtech-heat-break-for-prusa-mini/
- Installed a bracket to strengthen the vertical axis
- Adjusted the nozzle height
Things seem to be printing smoothly again!

Finally had the first failure of my Prusa Mini #3DPrinter. I was changing the filament and it got stuck on its way out, and then I snapped it trying to pull it out. Seven months is a pretty good run for zero maintenance though!

"Ask App Not to Track"
Wondering what's actually happening under the hood with the app tracking changes in iOS 14.5? I did some research and wrote a thing!

the danger of having a 3D printer is seeing stuff on amazon and saying "I bet I could print that myself" and then doing it.
sometimes this does not make economical sense, such as when the alternative was to spend the $6 for the amazon one. but it is fun. -
I don't think I've ever seen the temperature swing so wildly within 12 hours before. 113F to 68F (45C to 20C) from 6pm to 6am.

Looks like the temperature reached the peak today at 5pm, my sensor outside in the shade recorded 104.7°F (40°C). So far the AC is holding up, but I'm a bit worried that the *low* tonight is expected to be 80°!

After today's IndieWebCamp popup session, I built a way to create unlisted posts on my site that require a secret key in the URL in order to view.
Since all my URLs are more or less sequential, I needed a way to be able to add something to the URL that is unguessable. It was a relatively easy thing to add!
Try viewing this post without the secret string at the end to see the feature in action: https://aaronparecki.com/2021/06/26/9/MXJEJKW

It is supposed to be 111°F (44°C) this weekend and I legit just bought ducting and fans to try to pipe in the air conditioned air from upstairs into my studio so everything doesn't melt down there 😅

ok i have to say i am officially impressed with the battery life in the M1 MacBook Air. I've been using my computer for 8 hours and the battery is still at 30%

It's been so long since I've been out of the house that I've completely forgotten how to set up a new Wireguard VPN client on my server
