We recently bought a (used) car online. Just got their newsletter suggesting more cars like the one we got. I don’t know… How many cars do people usually buy in a month? 🤔
I made a thing using CSS to display a four-image slideshow at the top of the Forkalyst homepage. I was (and still am) experimenting with positioning, gradients and animation. It took me longer than I thought it would and I’m still not 100% happy. But I reckon it’s good enough for now.
🎬 The Substance

This might be the most disgusting film I've ever seen. And it's not "just" all the guts and gore; it's all the food stuff, too. And all those close-up and wide-angle shots really emphasise it all. It's quite remarkable how this movie made me feel. And those makeup and "costumes": so good! I really wonder how this got so mainstream. Anyway, it's really a courageous piece, directing- and acting-wise. And it's funny, too. It's so over the top, it could not not be funny. The society criticism is not subtle at all, and I found this rather fitting. Writing all this, I kind of want to watch another round. But I'm not quite sure, if I'm courageous enough.
March 2025
Photography-wise I’ve been fairly unmotivated recently: no posting, no development, no scanning and only taking few photos. But today was finally a good day again: I spent the whole day outside in the sun with the family and friends while shooting two rolls of Foma 100 with my Lomo LC-A.
📄 Film Development Timer
Today I’m making public my little film development web app: https://dt.danielpietzsch.com.

The lack of updates on this here website is directly proportional to the amount of family obligations and my work work load. I barely managed to post images in the last couple of days. I hope I’ll at least be able to finish the March review post soon. 🤞
A (command line) utility I’ve been using a lot lately is GitUI. It makes all my day-to-day git-related work easy and enjoyable.

📄 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.

Here’s Terry B’s highlights following Monstertrack 2025 winner Emma Missale on her fixed-gear no-breakes bike through New York. You can also watch the full race, if you have two hours to spare.
🎬 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?
