My hobbies include bouldering, gaming, hiking and cooking.
I'm interested in music (mostly metal), visiting concerts, FOSS-Projects and Data-Sovereignty.
People I value the most are those with firm ideals and own opinions! I'd love to hear yours.
On this page I'll post whatever is on my mind and it will have no structure, so bear with me." why-heading: "Why?" why-paragraph: "In times of AI-slop, a little humanity goes a long way.
I love reading blogs and posts made by humans, so I decided to create my own.
Search-engines like Kagi, that allow you to search the 'small web', grow more popular.
Seeing other people's creative websites inspired me as well and on top of that:
I'm refreshing some HTML and CSS skills!
Will this website win a beauty contest? No.
But at least there's a human behind it." de: page-title: "Marco's Homepage" introduction-heading: "Hi, ich bin Marco" introduction-subheading: "und das ist meine Webseite" about-paragraph: "Ich bin Softwareentwickler aus Deutschland.
Zu meinen Hobbys gehören Bouldern, Gaming, Wandern und Kochen.
Ich interessiere mich für Musik (vor allem Metal), Konzertbesuche, FOSS-Projekte und Datenhoheit.
Menschen, die feste Ideale und eigene Meinungen haben, schätze ich am meisten! Ich würde mich freuen, deine zu hören.
Auf dieser Seite werde ich alles posten, was mir gerade durch den Kopf geht, und es wird keine feste Struktur geben, also habt bitte etwas Nachsicht." why-heading: "Wieso?" why-paragraph: "In Zeiten von KI-'Slop' bewirkt ein wenig meschlichkeit sehr viel.
Ich lese gerne blogs und posts die von Menschen geschrieben werden, also wollte ich meinen eigenen schreiben.
Suchmaschinen wie Kagi, die einen das 'small-web' durchsuchen lassen, werden immer populärer. Die kreativen Websites von anderen Leuten zu sehen hat mich ebenso inspiriert
und meine HTML und CSS Fähigkeiten aufzufrischen schadet auch nicht.
Wird diese Website einen Schönheitswettbewerb gewinnen? Nein.
Doch wenigstens ist sie handgemacht." music: en: page-title: "Marco's music taste" music-heading: "my taste in music" lang-short: en music-paragraph: "I mostly listen to metal, more specifically djent, progressive, death, black and core. Outside of metal I like post-hardcore, post-rock, shoegaze, (german) indie pop and some songs from lots of other genres. On this page I'll list some Bands, Albums and Songs that I like, as well as display some music stats." djent-paragraph: "Even though djent is a subgenre of progressive metal, I need to mention it here. Not only do I listen to it the most, but I also think the distinction is clear enough to list it as a seperate genres. Djent is definitely my favourite. Bands that play in this style are so diverse and the discography of most of my favourites are a goldmine. The big three are some of my all-time favourite bands. Periphery, Tesseract and Meshuggah relased more excellent music in the past 1-3 decades than you can listen to. Meshuggah have been consistent with their style for over 30 years. Tesseract always had a great mix of sensual, melancholic and heavy. Periphery stayed true to their roots and their roots are 'doing whatever they wanna do'. Especially because of Periphery's diverse discography, listening to them never gets boring. They have an album for every day of the week, no matter the mood.
Other bands I need to mention are VOLA, Vildhjarta, The Contortionist and Karmanjakah. All with their very unique style." metalcore-paragraph: >- I had a bit of a weird relationship with metalcore over the years. Some of the first bands I listened to made metalcore. As a teenager I almost exclusively listened to Bring Me The Horizon, Atreyu and Escape the Fate. That changed in 2015, when Bring Me The Horizon released their "That's the Spirit" and Atreyu their "Long Live". At the time I found them terrible and it devasted me to a point I started searching for other music. I grew to love Melodic Deathmetal instead and left Metalcore behind.
All changed when I discovered ERRA in 2022 and later Invent Animate. This new 'era' of Metalcore suited me well. The genre developed over the years just like my taste. ERRA's high energy and djent-infused riffs immediately hooked me and Invent Animate soon grew to be one of my all-time favourites. invent-animate-paragraph: >- The first song I listened to of them was Cloud Cascade. After finishing an ERRA-album the song automatically played after and I knew this was my new obsession. Melodic, unique and melacholic riffs, paired with passionate vocals and that breakdown... I binged their discography the same week and their album "Greyview" became one of my all-time favourites. Invent Animate supported ERRA during their 2023 Europe-tour and I hate to say that Invent Animate stole the show from ERRA. When they released their album "heavener", I couldn't believe how good it was. I had it on repeat for the following weeks and still listen to it regularly. de: music-heading: "mein Musikgeschmack" page-title: "Marco's musikgeschmack" lang-short: de music-paragraph: "I mostly listen to metal, more specifically djent, progressive, death, black and core.
