No point watching, or even making, Scream 7, now that Jenna Ortega will not be in it due to scheduling conflicts.
deadline.com/2023/11/jenna-ort…
Wednesday season one took eight months to film, she's doing season two soon, so there's just no time fitting in a seventh Scream. Apparently this was already being discussed before the strike began.

Jenna Ortega Not Returning to 'Scream 7' Due To 'Wednesday' Schedule

I dislike that Gandi (the domain, email and web hosting provider) still hasn't responded to my support question, over a week after I sent it. I have already sent a follow up. Weren't they supposed to be one of the good ones?
If only their imposed hard deadline of 30 November wasn't looming, I wouldn't care that much.

Second time this week that a Dutch word I didn't know the English translation for, when I looked it up didn't seem to have a translation. Seems we have exhausted the English language.
For the sport 'korfbal' we get no further than 'korfball', with 'korf' being the Dutch word for 'basket'. I guess 'basketball' was somehow already taken.
Then today I forgot to run cold water over my boiled egg, which supposedly makes them easier to peel. We call it 'schrikken', a homonym for the word meaning 'to scare' but with a different conjugation. Turns out the internet thinks none of the English speaking people made up a word for that? ('Shock' is the closest but apparently not really used in this context)
A couple of years ago there was a news item about a new Dutch dictionary being presented, I think to some royal person. The dictionary was different in that it attempted to be almost, but not entirely, complete. It comprised several volumes over all the shelves of one or more bookcases. We have many words.
(We also cheat by combining words together to make new words in a way that English doesn't)

1 February 2024 could see a large increase in IPv6 usage. From that date, Amazon (AWS) will charge for using IPv4 and it's going to be quite expensive. Until now it has been essentially free.
Each server you run typically needs one IPv4 address. The price for this one address will be comparable to the price of running the server itself, essentially doubling the cost of running a Friendica, Pleroma, etc server.
I think IPv6 will still be free.
The solutions like NAT and Elastic Load Balancer are expensive. The NAT service (for outgoing connections) only becomes cost effective over ten servers. ELB (as an Application Load Balancer for incoming connections) only over five servers; but in that case you still need a NAT as well, and you would need to allow Amazon to manage your SSL certificates.
Other solutions: set up a single reverse proxy (nginx) for all apps including an outgoing proxy, setting up an Instance Connect Endpoint for your private (ssh) needs, or just finally switch to IPv6.

Visited Glow in Eindhoven yesterday evening. This is the annual public event with art installations based around the theme of light (as Eindhoven is essentially built on light bulbs). I liked that the route was more compact this year, so it became more of an experience than separate installations with quite some walking between them as in other years. I disliked that the route was badly indicated (or maybe signs had been changed) so I got lost many times and in the end was only at around three quarters after 2.5 hours walking when at 23:00 the installations started to switch off. Rushed passed the final ones...
When looking up searching for signs on lampposts, I didn't see a low wall and fell over it down the more than a meter depth on the other side, full cartoon style. Didn't break anything, miraculously, just some bruises and a bit shaken. I even had my camera in my hand which also wasn't damaged. I should apply for a stunt person job in films...

'Wednesday' Moving Production To Ireland As Season 2 Eyes Spring Start
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix’s reigning most popular series, Wednesday, is headed to a new locale. The upcoming second season of the Addams Family offshoot will be filmed in Ireland, sources tell Deadl…Nellie Andreeva (Deadline)
Occasionally Friendica has old posts in the timeline, e.g. when it refreshes pinned posts from a profile. But ever since yesterday there've been a lot more like:
5 years ago (Received 6 minutes ago)
...
15 years ago (Received 35 minutes ago)
...
From many different accounts. Seems like all of a sudden several people have gotten nostalgic and are resharing their old posts. Don't know what it is, maybe something in the weather, maybe escapism from today's world...
I had been looking into alternative mailbox services where you can use your own domain. Gandi went from free with your domain to costing about €60 yearly and is now about the most expensive I can find. Proton Mail is around €50, Tuta around €40. The latter is for three domains, the others cost that amount per domain. Several others seem to be between those numbers, and then there is disroot's not very confidence inducing "12 coffees".
Anyone know a mailbox service (imap or app, own domain) that beats Tuta's pricing of €3/month?
(Some prices rounded up to nearest round number so I can remember them)
It's really great that BBC 2 are repeating Red Dwarf. They're doing series 2, or Red Dwarf II in official parlance, and yesterday we had the episode Queeg.
I still have my boxset of series I to VIII to watch. Instead of starting at the beginning, I'll start with where Red Dwarf started for me: the sixth series. That's the one with them flying the "Starbug".

I've reached the episode of Red Dwarf series VII where Chloë Annett enters the show as the new Kochanski. I loved seeing her so much and apparently I still do. Also the new angle on the character is great. And no, I have no problem liking both actresses who played the same role.
I also loved her in Crime Traveller, I may have watched that because of her...

Gandi wants €60,- to keep your email address, for a domain you have already paid for.
(Technically you also keep your email address if you don't pay, but you can't use it to send mail, which I think is rather essential)

I don't use ad blockers, but I seem to have made myself so uninteresting to advertisers, that I often see large blank spaces on sites where the adverts normally go. This is in part by declining cookies ("I have cookies at home") and in part by just being uninteresting.
This is e.g. how the recent article I shared looks to me:
It may seem I always initially forget to enter tags on my PeerTube posts, but I don't. It's just that you need to 'hit the enter key' to fill in the tags and there's no 'enter key' to hit on my phone. Tapping the button on my touchscreen keyboard doesn't work...
So it'll have to wait till next time I'm at a computer.
A post by Alyssa Milano on Instagram alerted me to this clip of an upcoming podcast (this Tuesday on YouTube and their podcast channel) by Pod Save America, where President Obama is the guest. Here he speaks some truths about the complexities of the Gaza situation in relation to people trying to debate it on social media. He puts it much better than I ever can.
I'm embedding the video on PeerTube, since most people here don't like to go to Instagram. But the original Instagram link is in the description if you want it.

Great interview in Harper's Bazaar UK with Jenna Ortega, not about her films due to the strike, but about her career and her life, about the past and future, about her 21st birthday which was the first in a long time she was not working, about never being home, about representation, and about what she wants in the future. I like reading about her thoughts, she's a deep thinker.
Great photoshoot by Agata Pospieszynska as well. She's one of five cover stars for the 'Awards edition'.

The Awards issue: Jenna Ortega
Her star turn in a record-breaking television series has brought the actress an enormous global fan base – and precipitated a change in her perspective on success. Now, she’s determined to take charge of her own futureSarah Karmali (Harper's BAZAAR)
Other great photos by Agata Pospieszynska of Jenna Ortega in the Harper's Bazaar 'Award's issue'. See more in the above link!

The same issue also has Emilia Clarke and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I can't find on the site how to order the issue, so what's the point in making such a star studded one?
Decades ago I frequently checked a magazine shop. Do they still exist?
Rewatching Dark Places because I recorded it off tv recently and it has Chloë Grace Moretz in it somewhere. Though you have to wait until 30 minutes into the film for her to show up, but then it instantly feels less dreary.
I can't quite remember the story from the first time I saw it, except maybe that it was indeed 'dark'. Chloë did much dark stuff in her youth (in films I mean).

Also, why does a post get federated with the wrong accounts of people tagged as well, even though I removed these before posting and these tags don't show up in the post on the origin server?
And why does Mastodon show images of a cw'd post even though the cw is collapsed, while Pleroma does it right?
And why don't post scopes work properly between platforms...
So many little incompatibilities can pop up in this fediverse thing.
@dansup fyi, and I don't consider it a problem for me, but the Pixelfed Android app installed from f-droid (1.0.0.37) triggers a warning by the Lookout scanner. It says the signing key is accessible to multiple developers. I guess this is just a result of releasing via f-droid. However, I'm not getting this message on any other apps I got from f-droid.
For the warning, see screenshot.
