A much easier to distribute Covid vaccine shows good results. This may be great news to get the world vaccinated.

Sometimes I put stuff in the image descriptions that maybe should have been in the main post, but I just thought of it later. That, and Twitter gives you way more characters for the image description...



Today Katie Douglas turns 23! Happy Birthday!

Katie is an extremely talented actress. If you don't know her, she's the lead in Level 16, a great film with a great performance, or see her make a supporting role memorable in the tv series Defiance, Mary Kills People and Ginny & Georgia.

I found some photos of her in various roles and publicity shots.

Apparently a Google search for photos of her turns up my own tumblr blog. Yeah, I may have mentioned her before...

(The above photos are not my screenshots. I'll repost these one day from the originals, not the tumblr resized ones)





Trying to pinpoint where I’m going wrong on dating apps and I think it’s my first photo, too many neutral tones?

The bridge you're about to cross is version v1.2beta3. Use as-is.

Just finished 'binging' (spread over three days) season three of You on Netflix. It's no S2. It lacks the connection with reality the character Ellie was providing. It's my theory that viewers need another character to connect with if the narrator is a serial killer. #YouNetflix

Maybe the character Theo was meant to be that, but he was hardly in touch with reality himself. Anyway, they kept the Ellie storyline open so there is much hope for season 4. #YouNetflix




Very excited for this!! What a pleasure it was to work on and what a professional team working against all odds during a pandemic and in and out of lockdown. Out on #Netflix on 31st December. #StayClose #actor @REDProductionCo

Ah, the two approaches. Neither of them very satisfactory.


"Filters, what filters? Just look at the pictures."
-- Tinder

Well yeah, who cares about whether she has children or her politics if you're only going for a hookup.

The thing happened again that happened before but for which I have no solution: /run on the server was full due to efs slowly filling it. Just remounting clears it, but some mounts are in use by applications so I can't just remount everything. Anyway, stopped the apps since they weren't responding anyway so I could remount all. Now the worker queue is handling the backlog.


Me to myself: remember to not throw coffee over a wooden table.

As if I did that on purpose.

Now this app is claiming 'technical difficulties' when it can't find any matches for me. Wish I thought of that myself, not being able to find anyone and just blaming it on technical difficulties. Like Network Error.

This is why people / I keep ordering from amazon instead of local shops:

Amazon site in my country: Yes, we have this book in stock and can send it to you, free shipping
Main web shop in my country: This book is not released yet. Also, there will be shipping charges
Local book store: You must be kidding, this book does not exist

It's weird and I don't have an idea yet what could be behind it, but somewhere between 19-30 August hashtags stopped being received on posts coming in from some accounts. Doesn't seem to be one server that's the problem, or one hashtag. So far I find some Mastodon accounts that no longer have working hashtags in their posts, but most Mastodon accounts are ok...

Edit: it's the creation time of the post that matters, not the time it is received.
Edit edit: the issue is local to my server; on other servers the same posts, accounts and hashtags work fine.



Vandaag heeft @xs4all de catch-all van de email adressen dus echt uitgezet. Terwijl ze zeiden dat je alleen aliassen moest aanmaken voor je extra adressen, blijken ze ook je hoofdaccount te blokkeren tenzij die op 'xs4all.nl' eindigt.

@gidikroon @xs4all Ik ben voorzichtig optimistisch dat het lijkt dat ik weer kan mailen via mijn iPhone… 🙌 morgen toch maar even bellen. Adres was sinds 14 uur “kwijt” en het zou toch wat zijn als dat vaker gebeurd. 🙃
Sterkte met alles wat jij nog moet regelen!





I forgot how much music does to me. Yes, I'm listening to my @Dove Cameron playlist again. BTW, she's on tour at the moment, for the people in the US.

Now arrived at Ms Dynamite. Yes I have eclectic taste. This is more from my own time. Every one of her words is sharp.

The inability to balance on one leg for 20 seconds or longer is linked in otherwise healthy people to an increased risk of small blood vessel damage in the brain and reduced ability to understand ideas.

This is not a link I was expecting. (I can't do this at all...)

Today I watched episode In Dreams of Fear the Walking Dead (season 6). This focuses on Grace, the character played by Karen David. Such a wonderfully told story, so amazingly performed, so heart wrenching too.

We have known for a while that for our daily commute we needed to switch from fossil fuels to electric power. But who knew that would be more routers and video bandwidth?

I notice Instagram has a slightly different look and feel when you click a video. They had some downtime rolling it out. Not sure it was worth it.




I guess the best screenshot posts are still mainly from tumblr.
