MacBook Pro IPv6 Issues

I’ve had this issue with my MacBook for a while now, where – after it wakes up from sleep – I can’t connect to the internet for a couple of minutes. Wifi is on and working, mind you, but I can’t open any websites or sync emails. It’s annoying as hell. Linux laptop running Ub...

We recently setup FreeScout to handle picu support requests and so far I am very happy with it! Frees up our regular email inbox and no more copying between emails and Asana. 🙈 Next step is to add a couple of

Zeitgeist App

A couple of days ago I discovered a new app called Zeitgeist by Marcel Wichmann. It’s basically like Twitter – but you only post to yourself! I really like the minimalist but thoughtful implementation. Day One has been my go-to journaling app for years (current daily streak ...

📄 How to create a blurry status bar for PWAs on iOS

When you install a PWA on iOS (and iPadOS) via “Add to Home Screen”, you can make the status bar – i.e. the area at the top around the notch/dynamic island – transparent yet blurry (so that you can still read its infos like the time or battery status).

🎬 Black Water

Movie poster for “Black Water”.

Actually not bad at all. Good action, and a terrifying crocodile, surprisingly brutal. Has suspense too. Entertaining little Aussie movie.

Beautiful! The pictures, the soundtrack, the story, Hunter. The (quite long, but never boring) ending, where they tell their stories and motivations, separated by a one-way window is just great. I did not cry, I swear!

🎬 28 Days Later

Movie poster for “28 Days Later”.

While this might have a little bit of shitty digital quality, I think otherwise this really holds up well and is a great entertaining zombie film. The story is great, the characters and the acting is there, the infected are menacing, the action is good. And it just has a lot of great scenes. Was again looking forward to that blood-drops-in-the-eye shot.

🎬 Final Destination Bloodlines

Movie poster for “Final Destination Bloodlines”.

Haven't seen a movie from this franchise in a long time. Do I like the CGI-to-the-max? No. But otherwise, it's actually pretty entertaining with great humour. Death has once again packed a fine assortment of Rube Goldberg death machines and bloody butterfly effects.

📖 Ein Hirsch, ein Virus und ein Baby – Nils Wittrock

Wie auch sein erstes Buch, mochte ich dieses zweite auch sehr gerne. Ein, zwei Kapitel waren mir etwas zu ausschweifend, aber ansonsten ein kurzweiliges Buch, das interessante Einblicke in das Leben einen Independent-Musikers gibt im Speziellen zur Corona-Pandemie-Zeit und bei gleichzeitigem Familienzuwachs.

🎬 The Reef

Movie poster for “The Reef”.

Yoah… the acting was quite good, and I liked the partly suspenseful editing, too. But the plot is bonkers and for this to be entertaining, it's not enough action for my tastes.

This week was another Homebrew Website Club here in Düsseldorf. Mark and Jochen came around. It was mostly chatting about IndieWeb and AI topics, but each of us also managed to get some work done on one or more of our projects.

I, for example, published a new photo journal entry. And I registered that site with a WebSub hub and send out WebSub notifications for this new post.

I’m also having fun creating these little animated AVIFs of our little group.

I could link to each article Cedric writes on his photoni.st blog, because they are all very good. This last one, titled “Pretty Images Are Dead. Long Live Documentary Photography” is no exception. One of his conclusions within this whole “rise of AI” shit show (my expressio...

My vacation is almost over. I haven’t done anything “productive” with my time. But to be fair, I didn’t feel like checking things off of a list for a while. (The task list at work is pretty much bottomless, there’s always more stuff to do, and I didn’t want the same for my ho...
