I love how the designers of the SD card socket included a little spring capable of setting amazing speed records for data transfer across a small room.

Still astounds me that something so small can hold that much data. #AlmostBoomerButNotQuite

Watching His Dark Materials series 3 episode 1 on HBO Max. The first two episodes are out now, then we'll get the next episodes weekly (Mondays US, Tuesdays NL). The UK has to wait until 18 December, but then they'll get all eight episodes at once.

This is probably one of my most technically successful escalator portraits. Taken at Bank station with a 0.8 second exposure. Featuring artist Maddie. We were very lucky with recurring colours.

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.

Interesting when someone posts an article link where the content covers more than the title suggests, most replies to the post reveal that people didn't read the article.

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.

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.

Volleyball balls are more expensive than I would expect. Proper match balls are €75 - €65. A piece. Even cheaper versions are €50. Considering how many balls are used by even an average club, that's a lot of capital tied up in that.

This 'Mastodon is difficult to understand' is the new 'VCRs are difficult to program', i.e. a way to separate the fashionable people from the nerds. I'm the latter.

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.

Episode 5 of The Sandman, "24/7", is actually quite good, mainly because it's not at all like the episodes that came before it. It's featuring different characters and has a different concept.

The good thing about holding back from properly cleaning the table after spilling a drink over it is that if you spill another drink in the same day you don't feel that bad about it. Currently debating whether to wait for the third one.

People doing group think is bad, worse when this group think is that they are somehow victims.

Americans selecting entertainment things that were great in a year that was my youth, using American lists, always has me thinking I don't know any of these.

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.

I feel that both Instagram and YouTube could use a marking when something is an original production vs a repost, fan edit or reaction vid. And a search filter for that.

Keeping a mental to-do list of things to add to a to-do list.

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.

New Follower Notification

For a while I haven't seen any 'New Follower' notifications even though the number of followers on the Contacts page has gone slightly up. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off? I can't find any. I am using an account type 'Personal', sub type 'Soapbox' (so follow requests are automatically accepted and not shown) and the server is on the stable version 2022.10.

Do these notifications work for others?

Is there a way to sort the followers on the Contacts page with the newest first, instead of alphabetically? That would help too.

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.
