lol, Screen Time notification looks buggy this week. I was very concerned that I somehow spent an average of 6 hours a day on my phone, but there is no way I spent:
- 8 hours on DuckDuckGo search
- 6 hours on Wikipedia.com
- 4 hours on RanchoGordo.com (I mean, I like beans, but that is excessive)
- 4 hours on IMDB.com
I did visit those things, but Screen Time must still be recording when I close the browser. I spent 5 mins max on IMDB looking up a voice actor for Zootopia.

The thermometer on the weather station out back read -4F when we got up this morning. The insulation work we did the last two years has been a huge help this winter, but it looks like the low single digits are about the limit, and our high efficiency gas boiler is struggling to keep up. Looking forward to some warmer weather, it has been a frigid winter.
On the bright side, the sustained snow has been nice to look at and play in, and we are hopeful that we’ll see fewer ticks this summer from the long periods of very low temps.
I see that the bird feeder is empty, I better go out and refill it.

Claude task of the day: Looking for a new vehicle and wanted a nice way to compare a bunch of different SUVs on one page. Spit it out as HTML and uploaded it to my server to share with my wife. https://cagrimmett.com/2026_SUV_Comparison_Visual.html

Your platform archiving features are definitely an inspiration. I’m curious, what kind of storage space does that use, and how much does it grow on a monthly basis? What have you budgeted for archiving per account?
A note on the routine fixing with our plugin: It also self-heals, stopping redirects if the links come back. We thought that an important part. We also handle the redirects via JS on the front end so that if someone decides to stop using the plugin, their original post content is unchanged. Trying to avoid lock-in as much as possible.
A project I used to love is Amber Link from the Berkman Klein Center, which takes a similar approach to Micro.blog and saves snapshots on the WP site itself: https://github.com/berkmancenter/amber_wordpress
The plugin doesn’t work anymore, perhaps I should fork it and make it compatible with modern WP.

Charlie today, pointing at my macOS dock:
“What’s the square with the truck?”
“That’s called Transmit.”
“What does it do?”
“It helps me move files from this computer to others.”
“Cool!!”
Panic is cornering the macOS app market for 4 year olds, purely on how cool their icon is.
