I first came across Daniel Eatock’s art on his website back in the 2000s. Today, I revisited the site and was surprised to find that he’s still using the same software (www.indexhibit.org). No design updates, no modern features, no trendy new layouts—just the same, simple structure. He only kept on filling the site with new work, some of it dating back to 1991. The website’s design is as minimal as it gets, yet easy to navigate and still functional after all these years. It’s inspiring to see a website system work so seamlessly for so long with such minimal effort.

Testing embedding links in a Bluesky post.
I have heavily invested in 3d printing this season. I feel the need to justify the cost by printing more things. Time to organize my drawers and cabinets. There seem to be a lot of choices in that area.

Migration of a DNS setup from Hover to Cloudflare
I used Hover for all things DNS-related (domain registration and handling of all DNS entries) up until now. But when I wanted to setup DKIM I stumbled on a limitation - Hover only lets you add TXT records to your DNS up to 255 characters. For 2048-bit DKIM this is not enough...
🎬 Without Warning
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
I wanted to watch this mainly because its poster is so cool. And the movie itself was ok, too, as far as I remember (it's been a few weeks since I watched this; and I also fell asleep briefly; it's been a long day). Nice 80s horror charm and some nice and juicy hand-made effects. It's all a bit ridiculous, though, of course. "ALIEN! C'MON! ALIEEENN!" *KABOOM* best ending! ;)

🎬 Kinds of Kindness
I enjoyed this. It had me constantly wondering and wanting to know what happens next. I really liked the quirkiness of it all. But then in the end it left me kind of empty and wondering “why all this?” and “what for?”. All the stories had the same subjects it dealt with, but I couldn’t find any purpose (if there is any), and why it had to be three episodes. So I had the suspicion the movie is just weird for weirdness sake. But maybe that’s just Lanthimos’s thing and I shouldn’t complain. What never seems to disappoint, though, is how he films everything. It’s just fun to watch. Emma Stone was superb once again, but so were all the other actors.

Florence Prom 69
