🎬 Challengers

Movie poster for “Challengers”.
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

I wasn't planning on joining Nicole when she put on this movie. But then the characters and plot drew me in. I wanted to know how and why the three ended up where they ended up (the film is very non-linear, which I liked for the most part). The acting was great, too.

But unfortunately, it's downhill from there. It's increasingly less about Art - the only really likeable person - and only very slowly unveils more and more about the relationship between the other two. The soundtrack was irritating. And the ending is not very plausible and it's a collage of infuriatingly endless slow-motion shots.

📖 Tiere essen – Jonathan Safran Foer

Book cover of “Tiere essen” by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Es ist ja nicht so, als hätte ich mich nicht schon öfter mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt. Aber diese Buch hat mir den notwendingen Anstoß gegen keine halben Sachen mehr zu machen und mich vollständig vegetarisch zu ernähren. Diese Buch ist natürlich keine leichte Kost. Aber das sollte es bitte auch nicht sein, wenn doch die industrielle Fleischproduktion und Massentierhaltung so ein riesen Haufen barbarische Scheiße ist.

Der Autor selbst geht trotzdem noch recht diplomatisch an die Sache ran, und versucht nicht einem (s)eine Meinung aufzudrücken (obwohl er diese trotzdem für sich sehr klar formuliert). Und mir gefiel auch, dass verschiedene Stimmen und gar Kompromiss-Lösungen beschrieben werden. Für mich aber lässt das alles nur eine Schlussfolgerung zu.

📖 Die Verwandlung – Franz Kafka

Book cover of “Die Verwandlung” by Franz Kafka.

Ist die Verwandlung eine Metapher für eine (schwere) Krankheit, habe ich mich gefragt. Jedenfalls fand ich diesen Klassiker sehr interessant und unterhaltsam. Die unterschiedlichen Reaktionen der Mitmenschen auf seine Verwandlung sind einfach gut und glaubhaft beschrieben. Und zudem fand ich Kafkas Schreibstil sehr ansprechend. Hat diese Buch auch vielleicht “Die Fliege” inspiriert?

🎬 MaXXXine

Movie poster for “MaXXXine”.

Another very entertaining part of the trilogy. The story – especially at the end – has its weaknesses IMHO (and I couldn't help but be reminded of Once upon a Time in Hollywood). But this just looks fantastic once again, has great acting, and a lot of excellent scenes.

Caddy vs. nginx

Caddy vs. nginx

, Jochen

Usually I use nginx for static files, ssl termination and as a reverse proxy before my application servers. The django cookiecutter template came with a new webserver named caddy. It's written in go and https per default. Usually you have to fiddle around with certificates and a more or less complicated nginx config, but with caddy it was surprisingly easy. The certificate came from letsencrypt and it got installed automatically. After that my site got an A on the ssllabs ssl test page without any further tweaking. Caddy might be a bit slower than nginx, but it's probably fast enough for most people and solves an annoying problem. This is really cool.

Added pagination

Added pagination

, Jochen

Implementing pagination was also quite easy. Since I'm using class based views, I only had to add the attribute paginated_by = 5 to my view class and this snippet to my blogpost_list.html template:

{% verbatim %}
<nav aria-label="pagination">
  <ul class="pagination">
    {% if page_obj.has_previous %}
      <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="?page={{ page_obj.previous_page_number }}">previous</a><li>
    {% endif %}
    {% if page_obj.has_next %}
      <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="?page={{ page_obj.next_page_number }}">next</a></li>
    {% endif %}
  </ul>
</nav>
{% endverbatim %}
