Help!

Does anyone know how to update the css on tiny theme to change the <hr> to something less like morse code?
@jim @matt

Thanks!

@alexandra @matt Presuming you mean the border between each post on alexink, throw this into your Micro.blog site Custom CSS:

.post-preview {border-bottom:1px solid var(--code);}

It changes the dotted to solid border. If you mean something else, give us a post link.

@alexandra @matt I see what you mean now… The 5 big dots for an <hr>. Question is, what do you want it to be?

jim,
@jim@social.lol avatar

@alexandra So… what do you want it to be? The same grey divider between posts? Diamonds instead of circles? Nothing at all?

@alexandra Try this in your MB custom CSS. Adjust the “width” attribute to your liking, up to 100% (recommend sticking with %)…

hr::before {
content: "";
display: block;
color: var(--background);
border-top: 1px dotted var(--code);
width: 60%;
margin: 0 auto;
}

One team member out ill, the other on PTO, and the two offshore resources are off for a voting holiday. This leaves only me should the world start to crumble. Hoping it doesn’t…

I'll be shifting my online presence to my WordPress blog more over the next few months and use Micro.blog less. There's a post explaining why I'm making the pivot in my drafts folder, but basically, it all comes down to having total control.

@alexandra Community is the biggets part of the stuggle in my choice. I’ve met and interacted with some really cool online people because of Micro.blog. Hopefully it carries through in my shift back to WordPress.

@alexandra This bit of wisdom has always rung true to me… Forgive the bird site link.

It may sound cavalier, but those who want to read and interact, will. Those who don’t, wont.

Two months after “the episode” I’ve managed to shed 17 pounds. A balance of meds, extreme dietary change and exercise made it possible. I’ve managed to develop a refined sugar aversion/phobia because of it too.

@alexandra Thanks! This was sunrise over Terminal Island in the Port of Long Beach after a weeklong cruise, just before disembarking.

macOS users… Do you prefer widgets on your desktop? If so, how many do you have? I’ve tried it, but the clutter stresses me out. I have to have a 100% clean desktop.

    @alexandra So sorry to hear this Alex… hoping for some level of relief, comfort and/or recovery.

    Well… A month later, and my eyesight has returned to what it originally was and my computer glasses work again. An added bonus related to “the event” is that I’ve managed to shed more than 10 pounds so far. Let this be a lesson kids; refined sugar is nothing but evil. https://jimmitchell.dev/2024/03/06/on-the-fragility.html

    Here's a video (on YouTube) of my latest hiking adventure in Saguaro National Park. There was a very impressive amount of water coming over the waterfalls here in the Sonoran Desert. https://youtu.be/iCkGsbVcAW4

    @machias Nice work… You’ve inspired me to break out the hiking gear and get back out on a trail myself.

    I find it hilarious when people start pounding on their keyboard as the answer to fix a hung up or seriously lagging computer. Like it’s going to suddenly knock something loose inside instead of adding to a buffer that’s already backing up.

    I just set up one of my other domains as a podcast site on Micro.blog since I have extra domains sitting around doing nothing, and Micro.blog premium allows five different sites. This will either be really interesting, or a total bust. More later…

    @alexandra I have topics for the first three installments. Just waiting on the new hardware to show up. We’ll see if you think it’s interesting after listening. 🤣

    @alexandra @maique No way! The two definitely have their place. MB is still my platform of choice, but @vincentritter has made something nice for sure.

    I’m giving Apple Calendar a spin for a while to see if it can replace Fantastical. I absolutely love Fantastical and have used it since the beginning, but the $57 subscription price is getting too expensive for me. This year’s goal is to only pay for subscriptions that are absolutely necessary.

    jim,
    @jim@social.lol avatar

    @maique 🤔 Maybe… I’ll have to explore it as an option. Thanks for the idea!

    If you use Micro.blog or WordPress to publish content and use the Tinylytics platform by @vincentritter, this is a reminder I have two plugins to make integrating with Tinylytics easier – one for Micro.blog and one for WordPress. If you like either of them, show your love with the donate link above. https://tinylytics.app
