Love a good overlapping episodes film. Really well done here. It's scary, evil, creepy, suspenseful and manages to keep you hooked and waiting for more the entire time. I'm not quite sure yet how I liked some of the humorous and excessively gory parts; I'm not sure, if a more toned down approach would have served the atmosphere a little better. But overall, two hours very well spent!

🎬 Slingshot

Good space movie. Has great atmosphere overall (apart from a few soundtrack choices maybe). Liked the themes of the movie. The acting was great for the most part. And it has a good twist (or two?)! The very end is a bit unnecessary, when they could've just ended the movie right with the countdown in the airlock.

OMG. Brent Simmons (of NetNewsWire fame) linked to FeedCity and had nice things to say about it:

This one is not just no-unread-counts but also social, with outbound RSS. Very cool!

Thank you very much, Brent! 🥹

Yesterday was another Homebrew Website Club.

Nina showed us her newly created Instagram-Archive site using Memento Mori. She also detailed how cumbersome it is to delete one’s Instagram account. We then talked about Dark Patterns for a while.

AI has also always been a topic again. How it can for example be useful to get away from big tech and host services yourself. Jochen told us about how he does just that now. What he previously didn’t have the time for now became possible. He also uses AI to add new feature to the website of his Python Podcast.

We also talked a bit about podcasting and available apps as well as how one might get away from large music streaming services like Spotify. And we made our first money transfer using Wero (instead of Paypal).

The next HWC DUS will be on Mar. 17^th.
