I think this is a first: I just watched a movie and directly want to see it a second time. It is just sooooooo good
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
I love the style, the music is great, the characters are superb and the story is awesome.

Never Host your mail server at Digital Ocean. There are so many spam mails coming from their IP-ranges that I’d like to block them like dynamic IPs…

I just found out that the minimum order size for custom neodymium magnets isn’t that huge (200€). Now let’s see if it would be cheaper than what I could currently get in the magic supply stores.

It is weird to read a non-fiction book and know most of the persons from social media and how they talk, this having always the correct voices in my head.
Btw. read “Magic is Dead” by Ian Frisch
It gives a good look into the lifes of the “new” generation of magicians.

Just found this gem on reddit: https://vim.dev redirects to the emacs-website

@Help more of a big report: after migrating to a new iPhone and restoring from an iCloud-backup the app crashes when I hit “Post”. I needed to reinstall the app to make it work again.
