What a trip! It’s quite the (shocking) story. And both the plot and action are brutal and certainly not for everybody. And it’s occasionally even funny, too. I don’t know. It’s unique. In a good way. And was a welcome change from all the hollywood-y movies one consumes.

An almost three hours long interview. Highly recommended, if you’re a Tarantino fan. The last 45 minutes or so could be safely skipped, though, unless you’re much into Bruce Lee and some legal controversy surrounding scripts for some film and/or series (yawn).
Ich hatte ca. die Hälfte der Kurzgeschichten aus diesem Buch gelesen bevor ich es abgebrochen habe. Eine dieser Geschichten hat mich sogar halbwegs gepackt, als auch diese belanglos endete.
Die Geschichten waren nicht wirklich schlecht, aber eben auch alles andere als bemerkenswert aus meiner Sicht. Zum Glück ist Ambrose bereits tot und muss sich somit auch nicht über diese eher unvorteilhafte Kritik eines Laien ärgern.
I have been listening to this atmospheric and progressive album quite a bit recently. The highlight might be “Devonian: Nascent” just because Katatonia’s Jonas Renkse sings on this one.
Okay. The whole setup and plot was actually quite good and promising. And I found the scary scenes to be quite good, too. But as much as this film spent on story, atmosphere and setup, just as little was spent on explaining everything (almost anything). So in the end I found this a bit disappointing.
A movie I could watch again. You never quite know what’s real and what isn’t or wasn’t. Throw in some uncomfortable dialogues, manipulative behaviour and great acting, and you have an interesting watch.
Got our first COVID-19 vaccine shot (BioNTech/Pfizer) yesterday. Having a bit of a sore upper arm, but that’s it for side-effects so far.
We’ll get the seconds dose in four weeks, and so should be “fully vaccinated” by September.
Great Thunberg is badass!
During the recent vacation, Zoe took a photo of me with my Instax Wide. And this now is my avatar for the summer.
This is the first Gojira album in a while that keeps getting play after play. They really managed to create a long-player that I enjoy back to front. After “The Way of All Flesh” – which I listened to a lot a decade back – none of their albums were like that for me. So, it’s likely that “real” Gojira fans do not like this one. But I think it’s fantastic!
HostEurope currently doesn’t offer automatic usage of Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with their Webhosting products – and probably never will. But here’s how you can make it work and navigate HostEurope’s manual and not so straight forward process.
Nach dem Prinzip der koordinierten Offenlegung von Sicherheitslücken (Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure) melden Forscher*innen neu entdeckte Sicherheitslücken in Hardware, Software und Diensten direkt an die Hersteller der betroffenen Produkte. Die Forscher*innen geben dem/der Anbieter*in die Möglichkeit, eine Diagnose zu stellen und vollständig getestete Updates, Umgehungslösungen oder andere Abhilfemaßnahmen anzubieten, bevor eine Partei detaillierte Informationen über die Schwachstelle oder das Exploit an die Öffentlichkeit weitergibt. Der/die Anbieter*in stimmt sich während der gesamten Untersuchung der Sicherheitslücke mit den Forscher*innen ab und informiert ihn über den Fortschritt des Falls.
Under the principle of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, researchers disclose newly discovered vulnerabilities in hardware, software, and services directly to the vendors of the affected product. The researcher allows the vendor the opportunity to diagnose and offer fully tested updates, workarounds, or other corrective measures before any party discloses detailed vulnerability or exploit information to the public. The vendor continues to coordinate with the researcher throughout the vulnerability investigation and provides the researcher with updates on case progress.
Normalerweise kein großer Sport-Gucker, aber die Fußball-EM verfolge ich dann doch mal wieder ganz gerne.
Another one of Jasper’s tips. I knew the band already – and I’ve seen them live twice – but haven’t checked out their latest output.
Djenty, heavy, proggy stuff, with a great singer. Reminds me of Tesseract and Devin Townsend – which I both like – and probably a bunch of other artists, too. But that’s not to say they don’t have their own sound. They have! And I’m into it. And with proggy stuff like this, there’s often lots to discover after repeated listens. The refrains are sometimes a bit too “nice” for my liking, but apperently this didn’t stop me from putting this on again and again.
This is a classic isn’t it? It was my first watch, though. And I tend to like movies that play in space. This one was no exception.
It was maybe a bit too much action the whole time, but other than that, a solid movie with a more classic storytelling (fair enough, since this was released in 1997).
One scene that was involuntary funny to us was when the captain watched the horrifying things that happened to the previous crew on the video log and then says with a straight face: “We’re leaving!” We had a good laugh.
A rewatch. And totally worth it. I like the whole menacing atmosphere – both on earth and in space. The story is great, too, altough I’m still not quite so sure whether I understood everything.
With almost three hours in length, this is a movie I did not find too long. On the contrary: it could be even longer to explain things in more detail. I think the plot would have made a great TV series.
And I’m also not quite sure what the movie is supposed to tell the viewer. But my current short interpretation goes like this:
I could totally see myself watching this a third time.
I managed to catch up a little with my photos: here are 159 exposures from 2020.
The whole strange year in one big entry.
I recently learned the intro solo to Metallica’s “One”, so I thought I record that as well.
This bit lent itself well to looper usage – which I use in this video to record the rhythm guitar.
It’s just played freely, so it turned out a little slower than the original. Also, playing without metronome or drums shows here, as a few sections are rushed.
This time, it’s simply recorded together with the iPhone video using the headphone microphone – on my leg, and directly in front of the Katana Mini amp.
