It's time to call it: Micro.blog is staying
The problem with waking up to tweak your blog at 4 in the morning is that you don’t keep notes. When I wake up a second time, I’ll try reconstructing what I did in the Wiki.
Here’s my attempt at it for now.
Still confused about #microblog.
My posts (like this one) will show on #mastodon OK, but then it’s coming from another account, so when people reply on my jtr@fosstodon (probably what you’re seeing now if you read this), the interaction won’t show on micro.blog.
Should I get an Apple Watch?
I’m trying out CoPilot (blame Wheezy Waiter for this). I discovered that my Fitbit Sense, which I got for free because my Ionic was recalled, doesn’t really integrate with Apple health.
This is not a big shock, especially now that FitBit is a Google toy, which they’re going to cancel sooner than later. What is nuts though is that after I connected my Sense to the iPhone, I wasn’t able to connect it back to my Android, no matter what I tried (including a factory reset). I tried to connect the Sense back to the iPhone and succeeded with no issues. Not only that, the sense downloaded firmware updates that seems like I was missing on the Android. There are a few features working now that weren’t fully working before.
This makes me think I should switch to an Apple watch if I want to keep up exercising and use a watch for payments etc (my bank information is on my iPhone).
New updates to the wiki, and a CaptianLog explains what’s new: taonaw.gitlab.io/taonah/
2FA has one big problem: it's tied to your phone.
2FA, the holy grail of security. Until you don't have access to your phone number anymore.
Good-luck trying to reset your password or your account. It's all based on 2FA.
"to reset your password, please verify the code we sent to this number"
"yeah, I don't have that number."
"sorry to hear that, please verify your information so we can reset the password"
"how do I verify..?"
"please verify the code we sent to this number..."
I will use keepassXC forever, thank you.
A Local Pizza Joint
Maybe I have a thing for pizza. I mean, most folks do, no?
A walk to one of my local pizza joints around the neighborhood in the cold weather is rewarding for leaving the apartment.
I’ve been thinking of what I posted here, on micro.blog, and how I want to keep up posting content. There’s nothing solid at this point, just a lot of floating ideas.
Well, and trying the MB mobile app, of course.
I love it how whenever I test something on Mastodon (to check if cross-posting works, or if some other automation works, etc), someone always replies to my test 😄 It can be a split second, it doesn't matter, someone will find my silly "testing, 1 2 3" and tell me they can hear me.

@JTR@micro.blog I think I finally get it...
I can @ my new micro.blog account from fosstodon.org, and the comment will show up over there, on micro.blog.
The benefit of the "mastodon" account on micro.blog is that replies to that account should show directly on my blog.
Meanwhile, I can write whatever I want there, and it will show up here, on this account, since I turned on cross-posting.
It's built with the assumption that you use micro.blog as you central hub.
OK, blog improvements on micro.blog now include:
1. A logical, ISO date for posts
2. Links to RSS feed and Mastodon (this account).
This is workable for now, but more work to do. I'm pleased to have this quick outlet for thoughts again.
