I think `shadowrootcustomelementregistry` just took the lead in the longest HTML attribute race:

…though still comfortably beaten by your average German compound noun 😄

The new YouTube video player allows playing videos in full screen mode when launched from a PWA on iPad. No more opening an extra FeedCity tab in the browser just to watch the videos I bookmarked to watch during lunch break.

🎬 PG: Psycho Goreman

Movie poster for “PG: Psycho Goreman”.

Honestly, this was very entertaining. I was pretty tired, but this kept me awake, no problem. It's just so bizarre and funny. The daughter and her father are absolute comedy gold. And that policeman! The costumes are so good, too. I don't know, I had a great time and would most definitely watch it again.

👍 Recommended!

🎬 Edge of Honor

Movie poster for “Edge of Honor”.

Plot is all over the place and there's quite a few scenes that make little sense. But yeah, for a trash-movie night, certainly not the worst flick. "Wait, how did they lift those enormous logs and … ?" "WHO CARES, ACTION, AHHHH…!". The finale is like Home Alone but in the woods and pretty entertaining.

Another HWC Düsseldorf has taken place this week, where we shared what we’ve been up to with our personal sites. Nina continued to write more and more for her homepage as well as work on the code. She started adding music to her blog posts. Jochen continues to make selfhosted tools and recently added a (private) “Archive” site where he adds podcasts episodes to, and transcribes the audio into text. I recently added the latest Polaroid to my homepage.

We also talked about Kagi’s Small Web initiative, AI, how much personal information to share online, and easter eggs. Links mentioned:

🎬 In the Mouth of Madness

Movie poster for “In the Mouth of Madness”.

Hm. Somehow, the plot was a bit unsatisfactory. But there's still lots to like: the theme song is one of my favourites by Carpenter, the gory practical effects are great, I liked the characters, the humour, the atmosphere. Good one, but (after first watch) not my most-liked Carpenter film.

A life-sized cutout of Michael Schumacher. The face is pure
      white, because of the reflection of the camera's flash.
