This weekend I built a prototype of using FedCM for IndieAuth! This gets rid of the need to enter your domain when logging in to websites using IndieAuth! Demo video and notes here: https://aaronparecki.com/2024/05/12/3/fedcm-for-indieauth

My cat is theoretically not allowed on the counters, but this week she has learned how to gracefully jump onto the counter completely silently and I'm just so impressed that I can't bring myself to try to get her down

oh no, it finally happened. I left my AirPods in a pocket and they went through the washer and dryer 😱

This was my first time traveling with a USB-C iPhone and I definitely forgot that my AirPods still charge with a Lightning cord oops

Happy don't-believe-anything-you-read-on-the-internet day!

Tho come to think of it, that's becoming increasingly true for the other 364 days of the year as well now.

Yes I do realize the irony of paying someone to add a tip jar to my iOS app. But I've been putting off submitting the update to the App Store because my attempt at a tip jar was unsuccessful, so maybe this will finally get it out the door.

Well this is a new one, my lip itches but it's still numb so I can't scratch it! I keep trying to scratch it but it feels like the itch is inside it somehow 😬

My hopes of quickly learning some architectural rendering software to try out paint colors and other interior design plans are not working out 😅 There does not seem to be a quick way to learn these

I'm starting to think the 5/2 weekday schedule isn't working for me, and I need to try 10/4 instead. It takes a few days to ramp back up to work brain, and by Friday I finally feel like I'm on a roll, only to lose all context again over the weekend.

I just used my Flipper Zero to read my cats' microchips 😮 Turns out the vet had them backwards in their file so I'm glad I was able to check!

Still blown away at how well my last video did, 54K views in a week, most of my videos have been averaging 2-5K views. Notably, I didn't do anything fancy with the production value either, once again proving that level of effort does not turn in to views.

Gentle reminder for legitimate businesses to not imitate scammers in their official communications to users https://www.troyhunt.com/thanks-fedex-this-is-why-we-keep-getting-phished/

a couple months ago I started locking the cats in the bathroom while I prepare their food, otherwise they'd climb on top of me and eat it all before I could serve it.

But now they've started locking themselves in the bathroom in order to manifest food...

I just learned far more about emoji and unicode than I thought I ever would need to, but I managed to update my emoji detection library to support Emoji 15.1!

The library just passed 1 million downloads too 😮

If kittens eat twice as much as adult cats, why does their food come in cans that are half the size? 🤨

I'm planning out my travel for the year, and now that Brisbane is scratched, I'm barely going to hit Alaska MVP Gold. And if I buy the annual lounge pass, even with the signup bonus discount, it will work out to about $35 per visit.

Today I learned about supercooling, where a liquid can get below its freezing point without ice forming.

I found a half-drunk bottle of coke in the construction site that was still liquid. As soon as I moved it, the whole thing instantly turned to ice!
