Resting my poor sciatica, it seems sensitive but comes good quickly.
Movie and Tv review. Narnia.
The movies. Watched these and they seem to be written for younger kids . It's been Hollywoodised, the kids look modern, they speak in modern language, the characters are different. It seems to have lost charm. Social class does not exist. It's a serious show. Has CGI. If I had never read the books or seen other shows I might think this was good. 2 hobbits
The 1988 BBC series. All the people and places and things are modelled after the original Pauline Baynes book illustrations. The dialogue is taken from the books. The kids have real individual personalities. There is a playfulness to the series. This tv series was the first show, tv or movie, to have cgi , the BBC funded the cgi research, it looks a bit clumsy by our standards but everything else makes up for it. It's so enjoyable. 5 hobbits.

Sophie Wilcox was in my sister's class at school. She got very carried away with her childhood stardom, but fair enough, she would have been 11 or 12 or something.
I gave up, at least for now. I finally managed to get ansible working and everything added to path, and the first half of the ansible deploy script thingo worked fine, but then when it tried to start docker compose it kept screaming about a bad API chunk. In trying to fix it, I seem to have made the problem worse π«€ I'll probably go back to it eventually, I never do leave things alone when they don't work
Edit: on further reflection I decided to google and it seems that Docker doesn't support Ubuntu Server 24.04, and the lemmy-ansible page specifically states they only support 22.04. I thought that I had chosen 22 and not 24, but now I'm thinking that it's probable that I actually clicked 24.04 π Classic PEBKAC. That'd also explain why literally nobody else seems to have gotten this error before. On the plus side, because I just sort of assumed if it didn't work it would be because I screwed it up, I didn't open an issue or ask for help. So at least my ego hasn't been deflated
After gutting every appliance in the house, including the catsβs automated red dot, I have found 2 functional AAA batteries and the TV will talk to me. Bring back actual buttons!
Is the red dot thing ok? It doesn't frustrate them? I've got a laser pointer but everyone says it's bad for them because they can't catch it.
One loves it and will go the full 15 min chasing. The other likes it for about 2 then gets frustrated and sulks. That are very different boys.
bad for dogs, because we've built inferiority complexes into them and they think they've failed. Cats don't give a shit and will kill for fun so a miss is a meh
