This week's questions at

thefridayfive

1. What was the last book you read (or are currently reading)?

Just finished reading Raskaat varjot (orig. Den siste pilegrimen) by Gard Sweeen on Thursday. Started the next in the series Pimeän sylissä (orig. Helvete åpent) the same day.

I'm also reading: Until It' Overer and The Favour, both by Nicci French, Salainen koodi by Denise Rudberg, Children of Time by Adrian Tcsaikovsy, and The Nazi Mind by Laurence Rees.

2. What was the last movie you watched?

The Nice Guys yesterday. First movie in months. I don't really watch movies anymore.

3. What television series are you currently watching?

So many, but I'm most into For All Mankind, The Pitt and The Capture.

4. What are some of your favorite blogs or communities online?

Don't have one, they're all gone dead now.

5. What social media do you belong to and check often?

Facerbook, Dreamwidth, Pillowfort, Tumbl. I don't post much and check once a day.

So happy For All Mankind is back!
Feels like the last couple of years Joel Kinnaman is everywhere! Now he plays one of the main roles in the first season of Detective Hole. I'm always happy to see him, he's always in the kind of shows I enjoy - Altered Carbon, Johan Falk, The Killing, For All Mankind etc.
AO3 is out of beta! I.. don't know how to feel about this. I think I'd kind of had it in my mind that it's going to be beta even though it's been more or less stable for more than a decade now as far I as I can tell. In any case, it's so odd not seeing that little "beta" in the name 🫢 🤔
For the first time ever, I was able to update my local AO3 development install without problems! So now I too have the stable version of otw-software 🎉 🥂
I saw on OTW's Jira, that they have opened a ticket for creating a production version docker of the software! My understanding is that that will be the version that is meant for other people to create their own sites with? And that a development version is the only one that has been available until now. Should be interesting!
