All great inventions start with a lack of cheese.
This first Wallace & Gromit is so old it's in 4x3. They run out of cheese and naturally plan a trip to the Moon on A Grand Day Out.

Happy Birthday, Lindsay!
Lindsay Armaou has her birthday today and it would be obvious to play her songs as celebration. She was in B*Witched as well as Clayton, and is again in B*Witched now they're performing and recording again. But I don't like to be obvious.
So for the Birthday Rewatch I'm rewatching the film (Two Days in) The Smoke, which is one of her acting jobs. It's a very long time ago I saw this film, so it's about time. 'The Smoke' is a nickname for the city of London.

I'm so done with the entertainment industry thinking that the US equals the world. And with regional release dates.
I know that the argument is that the local distributors can have their own campaigns and social media accounts promoting their local release. But they never do. Because the US accounts always present themselves as the overall global one, representing the film to the world, until they don't.

I'm excited for this film: Jenna Ortega's Miller's Girl will be in theatres 26 January, after being in a film festival earlier that month. Sounds like a difficult story that can fully use (and showcase) her acting talents.

Tomorrow on BBC Two is going to be the repeat of last week's episode of Hannah Fry's The Secret Genius of Modern Life, that I missed. In this series she explores the amazing components and inventions that make up mundane everyday objects. I've just watched the episode about the microwave. Not only is there obvious science in generating the waves, but also using a turntable needed to be invented. Tomorrow will be about headphones. The new episode this week, Thursday, is about lifts.

Tonight's repeat of Liz Bonnin's Wild Caribbean on BBC Two is I think the one with guest Trinidadian biologist Laura Baboolal in the segment where the T&T Field Naturalists' Club treks through the jungle looking for monkeys. I may have spent some time before I found the correct spelling of her name, while I could just have switched on the subtitles... She seemed like an interesting person, passionate about nature, as you can also see on her twitter feed (from which I've copied this photo). Anyway, sometimes I notice these random people on tv from the other side of the world, that I likely never will see again. If she ever gets famous Jane Goodall style, I have posted proof I noticed her before...
I liked that this nature trek and the scientists leading it were almost all women without any explanation given, just like we've seen so many science things with only men also without any explanation.
All episodes of this series are interesting though!

The oppression of women in Iran needs to end and I'm glad this has been recognised by awarding the Nobel Peace prize to Narges Mohammadi. And I like the gesture of the prize being received by her children (since she is in Iranian jail) and that there was a symbolic empty chair between them.

There are essentially four major highways in my country going south (in my perspective of south and major) and two of these are closed southward this weekend due to planned roadworks. The two middle ones (A2, A27). You have to go either all the way west (A16) or all the way east (A50). Don't know who planned this.
It's going to be so quiet here in the south...
My servers should now be dual stack, finally supporting IPv6 next to IPv4. Nothing broke, weirdly. All tests, e.g. with testmyipv6(.com) succeed.
Soon I'm going to have to make some servers IPv6-only, since the old addresses start to cost money. That should break things I guess. The average ActivityPub server will not be IPv6 ready I suspect. It seems DNS64/NAT64 is too expensive to enable, so if it is too much of a problem I'm going to have to run a forward proxy.

Last day of our Gandi free mailboxes that came with our domains. Just over eight hours until they become one of the most expensive email providers without even allowing a custom domain.
Tip: tutanota(.com etc) allows three custom domains for around half their price, ideal for mailboxes that don't need imap.
