There are few investments more valuable than a set of good speakers and headphones. It makes such a vast difference when you’re listening to your favourite music every day. 😍🎶

📄 How to create a blurry status bar for PWAs on iOS
When you install a PWA on iOS (and iPadOS) via “Add to Home Screen”, you can make the status bar – i.e. the area at the top around the notch/dynamic island – transparent yet blurry (so that you can still read its infos like the time or battery status).

🎬 Black Water
Actually not bad at all. Good action, and a terrifying crocodile, surprisingly brutal. Has suspense too. Entertaining little Aussie movie.
🎬 Paris, Texas

Beautiful! The pictures, the soundtrack, the story, Hunter. The (quite long, but never boring) ending, where they tell their stories and motivations, separated by a one-way window is just great. I did not cry, I swear!
🎧 Slaughter of the Soul – At The Gates
Man, Tompa died. So let’s listen to some At the Gates. Listened to this a lot as a teenager. And it’s still so good. RIP.
We all only have this one life. There’s no reason to hold back and sell yourself short, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(I encourage you to do the same, regardless of where you are in your life – show your best work, show your experience! 💚)
Ist das diese „Erhöhung der Pendlerpauschale“? 🤔

@davatron5000 @chriscoyier Thanks for the shout-out on the @shoptalkshow! 🧡🤗 This made my day – especially seeing your face light up with wonder, Chris! 😁🎛️
Finally found a really good solution for placing a display directly below my camera (with the Elgato Prompter attached to it) so that I can still move my desk up and down without covering the cam: I mounted a cheap monitor arm to a light stand. 🤓
Happy #8bitday yesterday! It was the 256th day of the year.See last year’s post for why the 256th day is 8-Bit Day: https://tantek.com/2024/256/t1/happy-8bitday-binary-byteSince last year, the related Wikipedia article on “Programmer’s Day” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prog...
A 255 byte web page
Tantek, in celebration of 8-Bit Day (the 265th day of the year), published a blog post with the following challenge:

Where do people go to host video content these days, let’s say for an online course? Asking for a friend, of course… 😉
Second person birds
I remember the feeling of the light shining around and through the curtains. Then there was music: melodies in chirp. I wanted to close my eyes and go back to sleep for just a while longer, enjoying the warmth of my bed, but I didn’t want to forget the light and the music – there was a moment so wonderful just behind the curtain. Bird song plays the role that so many people do and have done in my life: the bird song is the music that starts my day. I wonder if the birds know how far their songs carry, how we notice the patterns and changes in their tone, how we find both wonder and joy in figuring out from where the song calls, how their song starts and adds life to the day. This is my entry for the September 2025 IndieWeb Carnival, hosted by Sophia at toground.link. The topic is "second person birds".
What an amazing finish at the right time by Schröder! 🤩🏀🇩🇪
Rain
I don’t think it’s going to rain that much I thought to myself before going out yesterday. I took my summer jacket: a light blue denim coat that brings me a lot of joy. My jacket keeps me warm.
However, my jacket doesn’t have a hood.
Later in the day, when I got to my desti...
Prototyping with my desk setup a bit. I think I like it. 🤔 Would mean more space directly in front of me and I could also add rack strips and mount 19" gear like my dbx 286s within arm’s reach.
