Last year Jenna Ortega's birthday was on a Sunday so I could spend all day watching various of her films and series. This year it was last Monday, so no such opportunity. So I've declared a birthweek instead, watching a little over the days. I've seen some of You, the film The Little Rascals Save The Day of very long ago, Saving Flora and will now continue with season three of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. I know there are some recent major films with her on Netflix, but I've seen them too recently for a rewatch. Next this weekend is her book; I've found I really need to reserve time and clear my head to read it properly, since it makes me think a lot.

If I ever find myself in a post-apocalyptic world, I'd like to be part of Amber's tribe. It is the best tribe.

I'd be Jack though, the character she's arguing with in this scene...

Just put the hope somewhere else. Like in ourselves.

In Go (the programming language, not the game) 5 nanoseconds multiplied by 1 minute is 5 minutes instead of 300 nano second-squared. And people explain that with saying that you need to make types explicit, that they aren't automatically converted like in other languages, and not with saying that it's just weird.

Did you hear what we sounded like this afternoon?

It isn't just me then. It's quite something for the main account of Netflix to come out with such a message about an actress who I think is amazing: "she's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment."

Happy Birthday @jennaortega!

Jenna Ortega is a great actress you know from You, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Yes Day and will know from The Fallout, Scream and of course Wednesday where she plays the Wednesday Addams. I hope she has a great day!

@Jenna Ortega

With so many streaming services being American only, being a fan is often like this:

actress to her worldwide audience: I'm in a new show!
we the fans: yay!
actress: it's on paramount+! (or hulu, or hbomax, or ...)
we: oh. well, have fun. tell us how it was. can somebody make screencaps?

While it used to be in the olden days of broadcast television:

actress: i can't talk about any new project yet, it's a big secret
(months go by)
pr for new show: show x will star your favs and begins tomorrow!
(much fanfare. appearances on all talk shows)
non-us fans: we are geo-blocked, why?
some faq: all countries want to have their own control over how and when to release and market, so there are separate licence agreements
(years go by)
some local tv station: *broadcasts show in complete silence so we all miss it*
(meanwhile)
amazon: no, we are not allowed to ship this dvd to your country

I've upgraded to Friendica 2021.09 and followed some accounts I was already following over on my Pleroma, but who were on Mastodon servers federation was broken with in the previous Friendica.

As we're getting ready for the S3 release of @YouNetflix on 15 October, I'm eagerly scanning all clues they post on social media for any sign of Ellie / @jennaortega returning in season three. None so far...

Though Ellie could be wearing the baseball cap of invisibility...

Part of the outcrowd.

Odd bot.

So when you quote share a photo from this bot with a slightly complaint-like message, it just sends you a new photo. Maybe hoping you like that one better.

It must be a really odd life being a model.

That went fine and is running smoothly. All memory that became available by removing the db got claimed by the app processes almost immediately. Almost like one of those concrete walls soaking up fresh paint.

Now wondering why loading/proxying remote images locks up everything.

That problem seems to have gone away. Also, I have increased the size of the swapfile after top reporting 2MiB RAM left and 0.3MiB free swap size. But magically that problem went away.

So apparently the National Diversity Awards are going on in the UK tonight. Their twitter handle is "@ndawards". I misread that and thought they were giving out awards for the most cunningly drafted NDAs. I wondered how that works with the rather related secrecy and all that.

Absolutely great to see Konnie Huq though. It has been a while.

They missed my 'just start reading again from some random page because I have no idea where I left off or more accurately dozed off'.

I shouldn't have switched that worker daemon back on. It is only inventing more work for itself.

I apologise to Google for searching Kubernetes stuff all day. The pod, node, volume, whatever, hosting that part of their index must be overheating red hot by now. But I guess I learned something. And at the end of the day I didn't even misspell it that often anymore.

Why is #YouTube so broken today? It looks like they're testing a new feature ('shorts') but for me it means that I can no longer play half the videos people recently uploaded. #DesignatedCanary

Also nice of Friendica that when there are two reasons for collapsing a post, e.g. a content warning and a detected language, it makes a bulleted list of it.

Nice, Friendica has side-blog functionality quite similar to Tumblr. It's not called side-blogs of course...

I'm following this series because of Alycia Debnam-Carey, Alexa Nisenson and Karen David. I started watching it because Karen would be in it from S5. I could watch everything at a leisurely pace before S5 was even available. Alycia was in it from S1 and a new discovery for me. Especially from S2 onwards she plays a very powerful character. Then in S4 Alexa is introduced, originally in a guest role, but she impresses so much with her multilayered performance that she will still be there in S7. I hadn't seen her before, but I now know it's worth following her career as well.

I was in a bookshop today and felt a bit sorry for the writer sitting alone behind a table waiting for fans to turn up to have their books signed. Not sorry enough to go up to the table and ask who they were, though.

I'm a bit confused about how photo privacy works in Friendica. But confused in a good way.

You basically upload photos into your photo collection, which may contain private and public photos. When uploading photos via the post editor for a private post, the photos are set as private, for a public post they are set as public; it doesn't present the separate permissions form of the normal photo uploader. Great.

But here's the mystery: if you forget to set the post to private, then upload the photo, only then switch the post to private, you would expect the photo to be uploaded as public. But somehow Friendica knows what you wanted and protects you: my test shows that such a photo is marked as private anyway!

You'll probably also find that if you upload a photo into a post but never finish the post, the photo will be visible only to you - because we never assume that it was meant to be public. I'm certain the actual code is much different now, but that's the way I wrote it originally.
