My laptop was always becoming hot when charging, and the fan speed increased to 100%. After applying new thermal paste, that problem is gone. The fan is still running, but at a much lower level. And the temperature of the CPU is also a bit lower. Fun fact on the side: I figured out that the ARCTIC headquarters are just about 2 km away from me.

I bought myself a Tilley LTM6 hat. It was expensive and still feels a bit strange to wear because nobody wears hats here. But it’s comfortable even with my big head (I always have to buy XXL caps and helmets) and it protects my face and neck pretty well from the sun. And it comes with a lifetime warranty!

Let the vacations begin! 😄

Now that I have the option to publish posts without them showing up in the feed for everyone, I can finally use my blog to comment on other IndieWeb sites and send webmentions without annoying my followers. Now my blog is really a complete Twitter replacement for me.

One post I commented on, for instance, is Barry Frost’s article about his new IndieWeb CMS. A different approach than mine.
