Eloise may have the best lines in Bridgerton as always, but I love this one said to her by her brother.

Two 'Whoa!'s: first that I apparently forgot to mention here that Siena Agudong will lead the upcoming film for tubi called Sidelined: The QB and me, playing Dallas (the cheerleader, not the city).

Second 'Whoa!' today is that Mia Shanks is joining her in that film as Emily. Mia is a singer and actress who may be known as the daughter of Lexa Doig (Andromeda in Andromeda) but she is now making her own mark.

So when I went from 2GB of RAM for postgresql to 1GB and at that same time Pleroma search went from responding fine to not functioning at all, this was not a coincidence? I'm in that majority...

But still, why is loading a remote user to follow even implemented as a search action. Mastodon anti-pattern...

Also vast majority of admins not having enough RAM to store the search index, and not knowing they need it because they've never dealt with actual database load before.

My head is bottle-weary.


Thank you Bridgerton for that new expression!

I was checking because I received a package containing 1 of the quantity 2 I ordered; I was not expecting the quantity of 2 to come in separate packages and assumed something had gone wrong.

Just back from walking around in Venlo and taking some photos, just because I hadn't been there before. The city centre is nice enough and there are some historic buildings to see, but it's very small and since there was no guide online or available locally, you can only find the major sites.

The city seems ideal for shopping and drinking at an outdoor cafe, but is not really suited for someone walking around alone like me. The only place you can have a sit down for a bit is next to the river, which is a nice enough spot.

I don't know how street photographers do it, but in my experience people become hyper aware when they see a photo camera, so nice shots of what streets full of people look like are difficult. Buildings it is then.

The general impression of the city: shoppers, cafe's, historic buildings.

A typical street during a sunny day in Venlo: shoppers are walking, people are sitting outside cafe's, an historic building is seen in the background.

Testing my new ultra wide angle lens. This is at 10mm (field of view equivalent to 16mm), the view is so much wider than by eye.

I wasn't paying much attention to the exposure, was also getting a bit late in the evening since I had to cycle around the forest to get to another entrance.

I notice that as long as there aren't many shapes for which your brain has much reference (like rectangular buildings) an ultra wide angle lens can compose nice pictures, else the distortion can be obvious and sometimes distracting. Something to keep in mind.

Found my excuse why I haven't been running lately: the forest is flooded! This is the path where I normally run, many others were completely blocked too.
Path in the forest completely flooded with water; the water extends well into the trees.

Can confirm that this much standing water breeds a lot of mosquitos.

She's so many projects ahead of me... They still haven't even released Finestkind in my country...

The Not-So-Intelligence of autocomplete seems to think a shoe-stealing performance is more likely.

Absolutely great to see Hayley Squires in this week's Inside No. 9 "Curse of the Ninth". She was brilliant and stealing the show as always as Devonshire.

I was checking out photo camera lenses since Canon has extended their range of RF lenses. I thought it would be interesting to get a macro lens, which was followed by me looking up 'what actually is a macro lens', which seems to include a minimum focusing distance of under 30cm. Turns out the two lenses I do have, which are not marked as macro lenses, are as good or better at macro than lenses especially marked as macro (30cm for the 50mm one, 17cm 12cm for the 18-150mm RF-S one). So I'm getting an ultra wide angle instead (10-18mm RF-S), because that is something I'm missing with buildings and stuff being too big or the streets next to them too narrow. A lens which btw will also out-macro the macros, focusing at 12cm I think 8cm in MF.

The film X with Jenna Ortega is going to be in cinemas again for one day only in a nationwide fan event on the 18th of June. They don't specify which nation, but I can guess. See their insta post. You're also going to get a sneak peak at the third film in the trilogy, MaXXXine.

Jenna was not in the second film Pearl and is extremely unlikely to be in MaXXXine, I hope I'm not suggesting she is.

We can see Dafne Keen in Star Wars The Acolyte from today.

(That's what all the online information and social campaigns said, but when I just checked Disney+ it's not there but will be tomorrow.)

Someone I follow started using a picture of Rachael Leigh Cook as profile picture and though confusing, I do approve.

Kiran Sonia Sawar is an actress who let's you feel the emotion of the character and the situation so deeply. She's been underrated for so long, it's good to see her in TrueLove doing a major character for a change. Just saw the final episode.

Now watching another Dot, in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Still also have a Bubble waiting to be watched on my set top box.

Dafne was on The One Show (BBC) promoting The Acolyte. I caught only the last minutes of it (and the on demand viewing is geoblocked), but the show posted these pictures to prove it. I did learn that Dafne got an especially small light saber because she's short and kept hitting the ground with the normal sized one.

I thought I had recorded the 1990 version of The Witches, but it turned out to be the newer 2020 one. Having watched it, I'd still much rather would have watched the older one...

She posted the short caption "Instagram", so I repost similarly... Apparently she had a day off from filming and posted some scenic shots of Ireland. Link above.

I know it's only been a few weeks since I saw her in the cinema in Miller's Girl, but the withdrawal is hard.

But anyway, we need more things with Stephanie Leonidas in a leading role. She's way too good an actress for all that supporting role, guest role stuff. And then they need to actually release the films to all countries instead of keeping it in the UK/US.
