I never listened to Destruction all that much. But I had a great evening at this premier at the cinema with friends, the film crew and a few beers (and a whole bunch of other metalheads). Entertaining movie about a sympathetic band and how difficult it was during the pandemic for a band that usually plays around 150 gigs per year.

I started sorting out my blog posting workflow again. Ever since the Git-based CMSes stopped working, I posted considerably less. I’m using Jekyll to build this site; and creating a file, adding all the frontmatter, making a Git commit and pushing the repo is just too much overhead for me.

So now I have started to automate all those above steps. For now, this works on iOS/iPadOS for my Notes. I currently start writing in the Drafts app; then I can trigger one Shortcut which handles everything else for me via the Working Copy app. And Gitlab CI builds the page as usual.

TLDR; Hold down the “Mode” and “Zoom” buttons during startup to do a reset. I’ve had the Canon 580EX II speedlite for over 15 years. A couple of years ago it just didn’t turn on anymore. Full batteries. No dice. Dead. Not sure why I kept it, probably because I very rarely ev...

I cut a little 2 minute video from a handful of phone recordings from our gig last saturday.

I see some nice activity there on the Mozilla bugtracker for an implementation of `hidden=until-found` 😍

Oh my way to Zürich (via Basel) to meet Claudio. We do this every couple of months to get on the same page and talk shop. Despite communicating every day it’s important to do thi in-person meetings every once in a while. Also: A welcome change of scenery (it has been a while) which should hopefully result in some different photos from the usual.

Played a very good sounding and good looking gig with Forkalyst at the Sojus7 in Monheim last Saturday.

This is certainly not my favourite Carpenter movie, but I think it was totally fine. Although I prefer those wine-sipping romantic European vampire films that this one mocks. I have criticism regarding the reduction of pace in the middle, that strange love story, James Woods’ annoying character, and general more leaning towards an action zombie movie. But I generally liked the acting and characters, Sheryl Lee slowly turning into a vampire, and the whole splattery action at the party in the beginning is pretty damn good.

I built a new website for my old band “Ravage”: totalravage.com.

@Kilian It is also a lot more convenient than Chrome's local override feature and it would go hand-in-hand with Polypane's ability to disable CSP and CORS checks (for which I also needed separate extension, which are now also broken with Manifest V3)

@Kilian I do have a feature wish for Polypane:

Would it be possible to re-implement what the Chrome/FF extension "Resource Override" offered in the past, being that you could define URL patterns for website resources, which you could then remap to another URL or a local file e.g. https://polypane.app/**/*.js -> http://localhost:3000/**/*.js

I use that a lot to develop frontend-code, applying + checking it with the live-site, w/o having to run it via Docker locally.

How is February over already? Time is moving way to fast for my taste. Photography Went out to Landschaftspark Duisburg with my friend Daniel. Love getting out there for the sole purpose of taking photographs (and having great conversations) – instead of the day to day ...

Hey Ihr beiden! Gerade erreichte mich seitens @spittank folgende Frage zu meinem Post zur Verbesserung von "Find-in-Page" wie im vorherigen Toot verlinkt:

"Sehr spannender Ansatz!
Mich würde interessieren, wie gut das in der Praxis für Screenreader Nutzer funktioniert. Wenn ich damit teste fühle ich mich immer komplett überfordert."

Wie ist Eure Meinung zu "Find-in-Page" generell und zur Idee, Icon-Links oder Icon-Buttons per `hidden="until-found"` auffindbar zu machen?
