  • Curious, does anyone use Spotify as their podcast player? 🎵

  • Network-y people, I’ve got my DNS setup to point matpacker.com at Micro.blog as my custom domain. If I want it to be able to work as both matpacker.com and www.matpacker.com what record do I need to add on my DNS to make this happen?

    Currently, I have an A record that points matpacker.com at Micro.blog’s IP address, per this article. I believe I need to add a CNAME for the www version to work, however, it’s not overly clear what I should use for the target, do I use Mb’s IP address or my Micro.blog URL, i.e. matpacker.micro.blog?

    Thanks in advance for your help! 🤦🏼‍

  • Test posting from Micro.blog on the iPad. Have been sending posts to the app via the iOS Share Sheet out of Pocket.app and nothing is actually getting posted…what’s going on???

  • Is anyone using Indigenous to post to micro.blog directly, if so, how do you login to it?

  • Brought a Phillips Hue bridge and bulb this afternoon…OMG why did I wait so long! 💡

  • For the QS types out there, what’s the simplest food tracking app to use on iOS? It must integrate with Apple Health and / or Exist.io?

  • First Impressions of the new OURA Ring

    Oooh, new OURA ring just arrived, finally. I pre-ordered it back in December, quite surprised it took this long for it to arrive.

    First impressions, packaging is very nicely done, quite “Apple” like, and 100% recyclable, bonus points for that. The new charger should be easier to use than the old one, plus it’s USB C, and last but not least, the new ring looks nicer than the last version with the big lump on it.

    More thoughts after I charge it and wear it for a few days.

  • Just pushed the new Gmail interface out to our company, wonder how long it will take for anyone to notice the change? 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Every week, Grammarly sends me an email telling me it’s the very last time to get this special price…it bugs the shit out of me. If it’s such a special offer and only lasts a week, why tell me about it every week for months on end, clearly there’s no time pressure here.

  • Has anyone else setup the “mirror to Github” feature on Micro.blog? Interested to know if you’ve got it to work, because so far it’s not been working for me.
