    Dear Whole Foods aka Amazon. You know my entire grocery shopping history, you know how much tofu I buy, so why on earth would you think it's appropriate to send me ads for ground beef? #vegetarian #ads

    I wish this flight were longer, it takes as long to load the plane as it does for the actual flight 😂

    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.

    Can confirm: biking 8 miles in 113F/45C is not pleasant but it does make an ice cold smoothie taste great afterwards. 🚲☀️🥵

    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 😅

    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
