Almost done with Hollywood, Ending by John Green

Not what I'd normally read, but i liked Greens writing in The Anthropocene Reviewed and wanted to give his fiction a shot. I am enjoying the book, which is mainly about two young Actors who meet during shooting a Movie about Andy Warhol, which puts them in the spotlight of media outlets and lands them their next role in a major Blockbuster Movie.

Both of them had traumatizing things happening to them in their childhood, which now comes into focus during the presstour for the Warhol Movie.

I'd guess the book is mainly about how past trauma still influences those who endured it and a bit about the conflict between industrialized entertainment and the work of creating art itself and the effects that industry has on the artists.

overall: good book, glad i left my fantasy comfort zone for a bit.

ah, daikatana. the reason why i won' let anyone make me their bitch, not even John Romero.

Which invokes the question: What has happened that people accept lower and lower quality? Is new software nowadays still really useful?

Users are mostly not programmers or anything related and will only notice bad quality, when it has piled up for a longish time, because they only observe the consequences of bad decisions and practices and don't experience what bad code impacts first: the work on the code itself and the ability to add new functions or correct mistakes made.

Futterrücken!

nur weil ich im Urlaub war heißt das noch lange nicht, das wir hier der sprachlichen Verwahrlosung fröhnen.

haben wir Ranslite und Gandalf schonmal zusammen im selben raum gesehen?

Assembler

im ernst: Der passende Ausbildungsbetuf wär wohl IT-Systemelektroniker, aber die tun mehrvals PCs zusammenstecken.

vllt PC-Techniker? Techniker ist nur als "staatlich geprüfter Techniker" ein geschützter Begriff.

that only gives them an extra button press.

the button is one of the coolest things in the fediverse and @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip keeps coming up with fun ideas around the game.

aber hörst du Markus Lanz oder Max Giermann als Markus Lanz?

its the reason why i still listen to audio books/podcasts/audio dramas to fall asleep to.

natürlich gibts ne DIN für DINs :D

i think nginx has an oauth_module which would allow you to use something like keycloak, if you want more than basic auth.

for apache mod_auth_openidc exists.

setting up an oauth-provider is not exactly trivial, but well documented and could be worth it if your other services offer oauth2-support or don't feature a login at all.
