The Art Of Not Asking Why

Forgot that WhatsApp doesn’t care what phone number to tell it to use, if you switch to a device with a different number, it disconnects from the identity you had and starts a new one. So, I had to update my family and friends I’m switching numbers, confusing them yet again.

I spent over an hour trying to fix a few annoying #CSS issues on the blog, and I give up for now. Certain changes I make seem to work the first time around but not later.

For example, I could specify I want links to have an underline (text-decoration: underline;). I don’t always see the effect in the preview pane inside Micro.blog, but I do see that in a private browser window. So I make an additional change, and… nothing. I switch back to text-decoration: none; and… links are still underlined.

This drives me nuts. You can’t change something if you get different results for the same copy-paste CSS code. There’s an option to reset the cache in Firefox, so it doesn’t do that, but it still doesn’t seem to work, and by this point, I lose track of what I’m trying to change.

Enough for now; I’ll try a bit more later.

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.

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, 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.

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.
