  • Revisiting ActivityPub on this blog

    For some reason, about a month ago, federation of new posts stopped working. I tried looking into this today, but since ActivityPub is notoriously hard to debug, I can’t guarantee I fixed it.

    I’m writing this post to check, in the hope it will show up in Mastodon clients. If you want, you can give the blog a follow under the known handle: @oelna

    Also, I have read through an awful amount of GitHub issue feedback today and it seems I can’t provide a better follow button than the handle URL above. Shame!

  • Perfectly a Strangeness

    Selten, dass ich mal so fasziniert bin von einer Filmbeschreibung:

    In the dazzling incandescence of an unknown desert, three donkeys discover an abandoned astronomical observatory and the universe.

    Ich will vermeiden, den Trailer vorher zu sehen. Wo kann ich den Film überhaupt sehen? Bin nicht mal sicher, ob ers ins Odeon schafft! (Letterboxd Link)

  • Taking the leap

    Today I took the leap and activated a new theme for the blog. I will be working on this for the forseeable future, adding back features, fixing bugs and making things prettier.

    The new theme is a block theme and will be a modern foundation for future experimentation. It is very broken in many places, as I have only a rough idea of the home page for now. I will fix the single post/page templates in the coming days.

    Heavy features like the tweet archive will have to wait for a while. But I’m excited to start this new project. The last theme dates back to 2014, so this has been overdue.

    Thank you for your patience, and good luck to us all.

  • Nu (Sans) font

    In today’s underconsideration newsletter I briefly paused at the new Blackletra typeface for Nubank, which they had worked on since 2024.

    I dig the sort of trendy style, but mainly I wanted to post this so I don’t get out of the habit of blogging regularly, ha!

  • 28 Years Later : The Boner Temple

    Since I had already invested in the first part of this, apparently, trilogy, I gave this a watch as well. I found it not half bad, definitely had its moments!

    Kind of hard to say sonething about it and stay spoiler-free, but I guess I can say I thought it was surprising the zombies played only a marginal role in this. Felt … kind of refreshing (?)

    Oh and they turned the amount of zombie dick up to 11. I guess it’s always been a staple of the series, but this takes the crown for now.

    Rated it 4 stars on Letterboxd, which funnily enough is the same rating I gave the original. Should really reevaluate that, though.
