How do I make sure that anything on my personal account gets copied as an "out of office" to my work accounts for coworkers to see? I need to make sure that people don't book meetings when I'm out of office.

I don't have a *good* solution for this, but I usually do a combination of:

inviting my work account from my personal calendar

manually adding an event called "Busy" to my work calendar

Pretty excited to have all these enquiries about guest posting on my website. I feel famous!

I've had a wave of them too recently, it's getting a little out of hand.

My Dream has happened! I just received my new office space for Kinotika this week! Converting an entire apartment to my YouTube studio and guest house. Can’t wait to build it out. Best part is it’s directly upstairs from my personal apartment... WiFi even reaches up here!

This is so great! It's gonna be real nice having all that space!

Is it safe sometimes?!

Nope, it's a trap! But it's also how most banking APIs work in the US 😭

@aaronpk I’ve been sticking them in 1Password alongside everything else. 🤫

I mean the one-time codes you get via SMS that include a message like "don't give this code to anyone"

Is there an app that combines an RSS reader and a blog composition tool? Seems handy for reading posts, then linking/commenting on your own site, but I can't find anything like it. #indieweb #rss #blogging

There are several! Check out https://indieweb.org/reader

Yeh and I’ve done all that on the past. It’s just spam ones have historically been live a long time before I’ve got around to removing them, which is a tad frustrating.

Out of curiosity what do you mean by spam? Unwanted bridgy feedback? Spam sent via pingback?

I am not likely to add a manual approval step FYI because that kind of moderation gets tiring and overwhelming quickly. But you can do it via the web hook!

Ugh, making Let's Encrypt work with an Ansible-managed config file is pretty obnoxious. I think I need to get DNS challenges working so I can create the cert independently from nginx.

I finally set up DNS challenge so I could get a wildcard cert and I kinda wished it had always worked that way, so much easier!

To be fair, ADULTS have made fun of me for my voice. Including behind my back in professional settings (!)

ok ok people are terrible and should be avoided at all costs

I got made fun of so much as a kid for having a deep, loud voice, I'm pleased I finally put it to use in a setting where it is appreciated.

Cool. But to my mind it's a right-libertarian approach rather than a left-libertarian approach (which is what I'm proposing)

As long as what you're doing fits with your politics, that's cool.

I still think you're missing the overarching goal that we're doing here. We're explicitly not saying "do it all yourself", which is why I'm super glad that things like micro.blog make it very easy for people to start to take ownership of their data.

I'd also like to know which meals are really better for being made in an Instant Pot. Like REALLY better than what you could do on the stove. I'm not sold.

Mashed potatoes, and risotto! And chili! (I'm a fan in case you can't tell)

I wouldn't argue otherwise. But if you're in a conversation with someone and one half of the conversation disappears (e.g. if I deleted the previous tweet), it makes no difference anyway...

That's why I download a copy of all the responses to my posts and serve the copies from my site. By now I'm sure there are plenty of cases of comments on my posts that are gone, but they still show up on my site because I decide to keep them there.

Updated my tab stats extension for Firefox.
It now shows open tab count on the badge, and the tooltip shows current count, opened today, closed today, switched today.

Next you gotta post your tab stats on your website! https://aaronparecki.com/now/
