msavio··on How to setup self hosted wiki for your startup
I've used Wiki.js for a while but was always annoyed of the loading times. It's just one of those applications that render everything in the client.

So I haven't stopped looking for other applications and when I tried BookStack I knew I found my solution: Loads amazingly fast, while running in the simplest environments as it's PHP.

Previously I have also used DokuWiki, which was also simple but I didn't want to write in Markdown, and especially explain it to others.

msavio··on Aggregating all cinema showtimes in Germany with Clojure
Yeah, sure, people would be confused for a while, but as "OV" has variations anyways it could then be something like "DeOV", "Deutsche Orginalvertonung".

But honestly, it's not even about that being written there. I just want them to show up when I filter by "OV", as a lot of cinemas have that option on their website.

Luckily in Berlin there are the Yorck cinemas where they play OV's per default, so I ended up only going to their cinemas, only using their website to search what's playing. That's why I've only discovered now what Babylon is playing!

msavio··on Aggregating all cinema showtimes in Germany with Clojure
Niki, this is amazing, thank you for that!

I just discovered they play Terminator 2 at Babylon Berlin tonight, thinking of going there, always wanted to see that on a big screen :)

It seems like your list is not showing "OV", "OVmU" correctly at Babylon. Both Terminator 2 (https://babylonberlin.eu/programm/festivals/scifi/7199-scifi...) and the mentioned Matrix (https://babylonberlin.eu/programm/festivals/scifi/7192-scifi...) there are OVmU according to their website, but that doesn't show in your list. I guess the data is provided wrongly.

As someone who only watches OV with (if not English or German) English or German subtitles I would love to have one thing which movie theatres don't get: A filter for "OV" (Original Version). Thing is, they "have" it, but they exclude german OV's for a reason I don't understand.

Example: Go to https://www.cinecitta.de/, and check the movie screenings. You'll find "Andrea lässt sich scheiden", an Austrian movie with original audio in German. But as soon as you go to the menu and select "Original Versions + OmU" they don't show it anymore, even though it is OV! I don't get that.

So, my wish, Niki: Can you identify original German movies played in German as "OV" as well?

msavio··on The Unix timestamp will begin with 17 this Tuesday
The Unix timestamp inspired me to throw a birthday party on the day when I got a billion seconds old: 31,7 years :)
msavio··on Undb – Private first, unified, self-hosted no code database
That looks interesting!

I currently use NocoDB with a MariaDB database, so I can't easily switch over as Undb doesn't support MySQL as I see. But it has the feature I'm missing in NocoDB: a Calendar View which funnily NocoDB promoted on their website but doesn't have [1]. I guess I'll give it a try!

msavio··on YouTube millionaires are not your friends
The German TV host Jan Böhmermann recently made a similar piece [1] talking about the shady practices on how to make "success coaches more succesful".

msavio··on Deutschlandticket for regional bus and rail services to be offered for €49/month
> But the Deutschlandticket is not the end of the story: to make it still more attractive, German Rail is also planning to introduce more modern and faster trains. According to the Federal Ministry of Transport, this will create almost 20,000 new seats on long-distance services.

The mentioned trains are ICE long-distance trains. Exactly those that are not included in the ticket the article is about. It does not make sense to even mention them here, and is wrong to conclude that "it" gets more attractive.

msavio··on I stopped advertising and nothing happened
To summarize the article: "I paid to show up both in the paid (SEA) and organic (SEO) search results. I switched off the first and the other one is still there!"

For some unknown reason he seems to be surprised by that.

msavio··on Adobe tricks users into a 12 month contract
Fell for that trick once. Avoiding Adobe products since. Found Capture One instead of Lightroom, the Affinity Suite instead of Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator.

I am upgrading Capture One every year, so I probably pay the same as what I would pay for Lightroom.

But it just feels like a fair contract. And I love the product (probably because I know it well by now).
