You would expect PeerTube, being a video server, to be the heaviest server I run. But it's one of the lightest. The reason is that the difficult bit, playing the video, is 'totally not my problem'. Playing is done in the webbrowser of the visitor. Streaming the content is done by the object storage and cdn. None of which is on my server.
Since HBO Max has not put His Dark Materials series 3 online yet, despite it being 5 December already, here's a Dafne Keen interview about s3 in W to pass the time.

‘His Dark Materials’ Star Dafne Keen on Lyra’s Final, Pivotal Season
The actress—who has booked a secret role in the ‘Star Wars’ film ‘The Acolyte’—discusses growing up alongside her ‘His Dark Materials’ character, Lyra.Max Gao (W Magazine)
I've found that Jenna Ortega's film The Fallout is called "The Life After" in some regions. This has not yet resulted in me finding an available blu-ray or dvd, however. In the US a dvd (not blu-ray) is available under its normal name and the film is on HBO Max wherever HBO Max is.

Finished watching series two of His Dark Materials, excited for series three tomorrow. I hope it explains the confusion I had with the way story arcs were wrapped up at the end of the second series, especially around Will's father. And in fact Lyra's. And I hope Lyra will become important again, which seemed to go away in that series. I haven't read the books, so I don't know.
His Dark Materials series three gets released on HBO Max this Monday, 5 December. It'll be later in December on the BBC. I'm rewatching series one and two because it is so good and Dafne Keen is such a good actress. I'm at 1x07 now.

A good director will know that if you have a good actress you can just let a scene play out by having a continuous close-up of her face and you don't actually need to see the scene itself. I've seen that done with great effect several times, as it is here with Dafne Keen.

The first time I was aware of this choice of shot was long ago when Emilia Fox was an unknown actress, two super famous actors were doing a scene and her character had no lines or involvement in that scene. Yet the director realised her talent over those super famous people and had the camera just on her face this whole long scene. It was very powerful. And a very courageous thing to do for the director, given the difference in industry standing. (I think it's in the director's handbook under what to do if your two stars have an off day and the new girl is very talented)

Only one day left for the rewatch. Series two has only seven episodes, though. I still haven't heard the explanation why the BBC suddenly cancelled one of the eight episodes (was it after filming, or just before). It made the ending of series two a bit weird.
I happened to look at my tv without my glasses on. I had turned it on already because I'm going to rewatch His Dark Materials, but I was first checking out my tablet. If I squinted my eyes I could just about make out that the HBO app was already on the correct card, since it looked like the big title was about three words. I'm reminded of the guy I used to know who complained that the pixels of his computer monitor were the wrong shape. To me not even cga monitors had pixels.
I dislike 'whisper-acting', so having the lead in this series do that is not nice. And now they even have another character mumble to address a crowd.

I like watching fantasy and I like seeing great acting, so when the two of these come together I'm very happy. When it's only fantasy and not the other, not so much.
Ginny & Georgia season two will be on Netflix on 5 January next year. I don't know whether Katie Douglas will also be in it, I hope she is, and since she's the one that announced it on her Instagram story I have hopes.

Apparently people have watched Wednesday over 340 million hours in a single week, even I can't claim that's all me. It's a record. It is number 1 in 83 countries.

Before Wednesday Jenna Ortega had 8 million followers on Instagram, which I think is a lot, and with the Wednesday promotion going on it had creeped up to 9 million. I was wondering whether the release would lift it over the 10 million. Now, a week after the release, she has 16.6 million followers on Instagram. I guess people like what she did.

Such is the success of Wednesday that after years of me being the only lonely one talking about Jenna Ortega on the fediverse addressing the void, there are now multiple people 'here' posting about her show. (I tried to reshare but it doesn't work at the moment)

Starting a rewatch of His Dark Materials, all the way from series one, because series three starts soon. This was the first time I saw Dafne Keen and the reason I watched Logan. I think most people will have seen her in Logan first and be very impressed by her and the intensity of the character, but also seeing her first in His Dark Materials impresses a lot.
Watching it on HBO Max instead of my blu-ray, because views count in this day and age. Production and tv companies really look at views and social media engagement to decide who to hire, what kind of show to commission. Record companies look at number of likes whether to finance a tour. Casting people look at imdb rankings, which are based in part on searches. It's unfair, but to support your faves, engage.

Can we have a House of the Dragon prequel series? A Game of Thrones prequel prequel. Then Milly Alcock can play Rhaenyra again. I've finished the series now and I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it continuing in this timeline.

Wednesday episode 1x04
That dance in episode four that Jenna choreographed herself is so amazing, that I'm thinking she is not only going to be awarded the Emmy for her performance as Wednesday Addams, which seems a given at this point, but maybe also for the choreography.

I guess it's going to be a weekend of doing some WordPress stuff. Writing a post, but also finding out how and if the block-theme works and setting up a multisite install for real.
Putting it out here so it will feel as more of a failure if I don't. Since I was going to do it last weekend...
The cast of Wednesday reacts to *that* dance scene — which @jennaortega choreographed herself!
