📄 Buying music again

For two years now, I have been buying music again. Opposed to streaming that is. There is a variety of reasons for this.

@auphonic Und dann wollte ich noch fragen, ob Ihr den den Shownotes zugrundeliegenden Prompt vielleicht auch exponiert und editierbar macht? Denn für meinen Geschmack schreibt die KI zu viel im Passiv und auch generell nicht in unserem üblichen Tonfall. Das könnte man dann feinjustieren (+ Reset-Knopf, wenn man sich in eine Ecke gepromptet hat)

Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank Euch allen für Euren tollen Service!

@auphonic Wie wäre es, wenn man für jede*n Sprecher*in ein kurzes Audio-Schnipsel hinterlegen könnte, so dass das System anhand dessen eine Zuordnung vornimmt? Theoretisch könntet Ihr das Sample von jedem Sprecher auch nur einmal verarbeiten und das Ergebnis/den Fingerprint cachen.

@auphonic Guten Morgen Team Auphonic! ☀️ Ich hätte einen Feature-Request für die Transkription-Funktion. Und zwar ist mir letztens aufgefallen, dass ihr neuerdings die Speakernamen den transkribierten Sätzen voranstellt. Allerdings werden die in der Reihenfolge vergeben, wie sie in der Liste eingetragen sind und die Sprecher sprechen. Wir haben aber ein Preset, das immer übernommen wird und daher passt die Zuordnung fast nie.

🎬 Don't Torture a Duckling

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

Not too much gore here - although the ending is hilariously excessive in that regard. It's more of a murder mystery. And it has indeed quite a lot of great ideas and encourages you to solve it yourself. Good one. But: Catholics again 🙄. And what's up with that slow-motion water in that aquarium?

A mystery thriller set in the Vatican. And all the gossiping cardinals are no better than ordinary men. Well, apart from the newly elected pope. And then this ending. Catholics 🙄.

🎬 The Art of Destruction

Movie poster for “The Art of Destruction”.

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.

Reset Yongnuo YN560-II and Canon 580EX II Speedlites

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...

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.

🎬 Vampires

Movie poster for “Vampires”.

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.
