My Mac ran out of disk space (1 TB). Which felt … a bit weird and unexpected. So I opened up GrandPerspective to have a look…

Oh wait, what’s that?

/Users/matthiasott/Library/Caches/Adobe/AfterEffects is taking up how much space?

317G?!? 😅
That’s a lot of cache!

Designing calm software with breaks in mind

I refer to Artemis as a “calm web reader”. I have designed the software to avoid common triggers that cause people to periodically check a piece of software. There are no notifications. All post titles are on one page; there are no folders. There is a “read” state, but this s...

Tomorrowland (IndieWeb Movie Club)

I have watched Tomorrowland several times. In the movie, it is revealed that a society of geniuses made another world: a place where they could go to invent and explore and wonder without distraction. But the other world – Tomorrowland – invented something they shouldn’t have...

Ice Floes

I saw Monet’s Ice Floes for the first time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It stood out among all of the Impressionist paintings in the room, in large part because of its brightness but relative lack of colour. The painting depicts ice on the river Seine, one of Monet’s ma...

Damn. In all their desperation, they’re all falling for those #a11y overlays now. 😔

Ensembles

Last weekend I visited The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, an art collection that showcases mainly Impressionist and Medieval art, with some other genres too. The gallery was unlike any other I have visited. The outside of the building was modern: constructed with grey lim...

🎬 Nightcrawler

Movie poster for “Nightcrawler”.

In the beginning I thought Jake Gyllenhaal’s character is pretty implausible. But then I just enjoyed his and Riz Ahmed’s performances, the pretty night scenes, the suspense and just his sheer dry ruthlessness. And the film also gives you plenty to think about.

Sounds like Hans had a lot of fun with his synths again doing the F1 movie soundtrack … 😁

TFW you build a site with @getkirby and web platform standards (== semantic HTML, modern CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and a dash of ARIA) and you look at Lighthouse for the first time …

Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋

Yesterday, me and Florian participated in a photo walk, organised by the new Fujifilm X-Den space here in Düsseldorf. One could try out their (newest) camera gear, and so I had took the chance to try the X half. Had a great time walking around the Altstadt, taking photos, and chatting with Florian, Lou and the friendly Fuji staff. → Florian’s post.

🎧 Lifeless Birth – Necrot

Just so much great riffing going on in this collection of fantastic songs. They have enough non-4/4-parts and tempo changes to make it interesting without making it hard to follow. There are some tasty guitar solos, too. “Drill the Skull” is my favourite, with this insanely awesome middle section.

This week, the second Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf took place. This time, 5 people attended. After a round of introducing each other including website, we once more had a good chat about a variety of IndieWeb topics. And this time, we all did some coding, too. For example, Jochen made some commits to his django-indieweb project, Mark added some rel=me links and Microformats markup, and I fixed my Atom feed’s updated date to truly show the date they have been updated (which is quite relevant for example when sending WebSub notifications).

The next HWC DUS is scheduled for July 24th.
