Interesting how another server that identifies itself with the User Agent "facebookexternalua" has IPv6 addresses with ":face:" in it, like "2a03:2880:3ff:1::face:b00c". Not so nice that it seems broken and keeps requesting the same url over and over again around 10 times per second since yesterday, while circumventing caching. It is for now blocked.
(edit: I didn't even notice the "b00c" for "book"...)
Doing the thing that I do: watching a film I know nothing about with an actress I hardly know anything about. Sasha Lane was with Chloë Grace Moretz in the film The Miseducation of Cameron Post and she seemed interesting enough to watch American Honey in which she is the lead, or at least front and center on the poster. #SashaLane #AmericanHoney
A teenage girl with nothing to lose joins a traveling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits.
It's more of an atmospheric film than a story and I like that. It's just not clear from the beginning that it's going to be like that, so for a while I was waiting for something to start happening. Many independent things happen, but none are really what the film is about.
The atmosphere is not unlike Mouth by Mouth, but that one is a bit more extreme.
I really liked the performance by Sasha Lane. She plays someone who never really fits in, but who also doesn't know where she would fit in. Someone who had she been born in a different family, would have led a totally different life.
I didn't realise before how much I dislike the brainwashing lyrics of sexually explicit rap music. #AmericanHoney #SashaLane

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. #LindsayArmaou #BirthdayRewatch #TheSmoke
I'm going to do some mixed-up rewatch to see the combined talents of Jenna Ortega and Amy-Leigh Hickman by jumping between the second and fourth seasons of You. Double the brilliance. I'll be doing episodes 2x08, 4x08, 2x09, 4x09, 2x10 and 4x10. #JennaOrtega #AmyLeighHickman #You #YouNetflix
Ellie shows up at the hotel room and speed edits a film script, until her smarts and insights throw the whole process in disarray when she realises they need to start over with the script and actually try to understand the character of Beck. After the defenestration she goes back to her own hotel room and is only quickly seen again when she assures Joe she can order an Uber for herself to get home. She knows nothing yet about the whereabouts of her sister.
Nadia grows suspicious of her professor, who is actually Joe, and breaks into his apartment, finds the clues and the key faster than Joe does himself in the next episode and walks in on... Marianne in the cage! This is the latter half of the episode, in the beginning she has words with her 'is he or isn't he' boyfriend.
That was 2x07, I found I had to watch that too since Nadia's story is sort of broken between the episodes.
In 2x08 we get Marianne's story, the nightingale in a cage, for the first 21 minutes. This leads to the moment Nadia walking in on that terrifying scene, but seen from the other side. Nadia tries to free Marianne, call the police, anything, but has to settle for just bringing food and water. She promises to be back with a plan. But this episode Joe grows suspicious of Nadia and almost foils her plans to put the keys back and go to Marianne. The episode ends with Nadia rushing to the cage, just missing being seen by Joe who is finally on his own trail to find the cage, and announcing to Marianne that she has a plan, but that it's a mad one.
Ellie walks in on Joe and Love who have met up the morning after the events of Forty's process. She is still looking for her sister Delilah and proceeds to spend the day cooking with Love. She tells Love about how she came to live with her sister after her father died. Later in the episode she has the arguably most heartfelt moment of the series where she has her 'what's wrong with me' outburst in the kitchen, when she believes her sister has left her.
Nadia is talking to Marianne about the plan to get her out without involving the police, while Joe walks in and she needs to hide around the corner. This is when a panic-stricken Nadia properly sees the madness of her professor, indicating the reality closing in on Joe. When he's gone Nadia and Marianne agree that the only way is for Joe to die. When Nadia is later rushing back after sourcing the drugs and knife needed, she gets into a mishap at the underground access gates and is taken to the police station. Once outside, she receives the remainder of the drugs she needs for plan b that Marianne has set in motion due to the delay. Meanwhile, she has to admit to her 'boyfriend' that she doesn't consider him her boyfriend as this is not the kind of conversation that you can postpone because you're in a hurry.
It's happening again: the film account for Finestkind has been promoting since forever that its release on Paramount+ is 15 December. That's now, so I check: nothing. Loads of other people in the comments having the same problem. It looks like it may have been a release in the US only. They literally never mentioned that. Which also means that there is no word whatsoever if I am ever going to get to see it here. #Finestkind #JennaOrtega
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.
Bridgerton season three (part one) will be on Netflix 16 May, with part two the next month on 13 June. Looks like Claudia Jessie is back. media.netflix.com/en/only-on-n… #Bridgerton
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!
Episode 2x04 of London Kills has a guest role for Klariza Clayton. It's so great to see acting that's a cut above, and to see her of course. It's still a 'girlfriend of/wife of' type of role, but done well. #KlarizaClayton #LondonKills
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.
A film and tv account, from the US: Successful show xyz has been renewed for a tenth season! Me, a European: I have never heard of it, it is not on here.
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.
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.
Yeah, way too many instances are IPv4 only, especially the ones hosted by a provider. The big ones, and the ones with a tech background, tend to support IPv6.
I just watched Nimona on Netflix with the voice of Chloë Grace Moretz. Firstly Chloë is really good at putting character in the performance using only her voice. Secondly: it's a really good story! #ChloëGraceMoretz #Nimona
Watching Gunpowder Milkshake with Karen Gillan on Prime Video. There's another actress who plays the younger version of Karen's character (seems hardly necessary) and it struck me as funny if that would be the same family member (cousin, niece?) who played the younger version of Amy Pond in Doctor Who. But it doesn't look like it. Interesting film so far though. #KarenGillan #GunpowderMilkshake
In her turbulent life as a professional assassin, Scarlet was cruelly forced to abandon her daughter Sam and go on the run. Years later, despite the estrangement, Sam has also grown up into a cold blooded hitwoman.
For a moment I thought they'd run into Marvin, at the end of the universe... But no, it was a completely different robot, and at the edge of the universe.
found it pretty enjoyable. I think that people are spoiled with a Next Great Thing every week... Sometimes what you need a good old simple plot well developed

Google could do a 'Wrapped' of 'Your best friends of the past year', based on bluetooth and wifi proximity, similar website visits, bookmarks and searches, video viewing habits, whether you are in each others phone contacts, and all the other stuff they know about you.
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. #Gandi #TutaNota #Tuta #email
@feld Thanks, I've bookmarked it. Though for being a 'search client' rather than 100% using their own index, the price is a bit high. I suspect they can lose access to the data any moment. Luckily their AI/LLM costs extra, so you can just not pay that to avoid that.
Just found that the Disney+ app is broken on Chromecast and only old school casting to it works. I hope I still get it in 4k, since I wanted to rewatch the Doctor Who episode like that. Apparently it has been broken for weeks already, that's how often I use my subscription, or how small their library is. #DisneyPlus
I had tried many times during the day, including restarting the chromecast, before posting this. However, after complaining it now suddenly works again. Yay!
If like me you use an app like Series Guide to track the tv episodes you've watched and which you still have to catch, you may like to know that the people at tmdb, trakt, etc, unlike imdb, are listing the Doctor Who series that started today as a new show rather than series 14 of the 'original reboot': themoviedb.org/tv/239770 . So you have to add a new show to track, then find today's episode under specials (because they count next year's series 15 as number 1). #DoctorWho
The Doctor and friends travel from the dawn of human history to distant alien worlds. And everywhere they go, they find adventure, terror, fun, chases, joy and monsters.
And later this evening Doctor Who: Unleased will also be on BBC1, for those who are blocked from watching BBC3 where I believe it is first shown. This is the behind the scenes thing.
