@futzle I must thank you for the recommendation of #Ludwig ages ago.

I thought it sounded just the thing for my mother, who loves anything involving middle class people and murder. Turns out she fell asleep before the end of the first episode, recorded all the subsequent episodes, but couldn't watch them until she'd finished the first.

She's finally got my nephew to explain how 7 Plus works (I've never owned a "smart" TV).

Meanwhile I've finished the series. I'm not at all murdery, usually.

FreeBSD Project-provided repositories for kernel modules in the ports collection: usage

<blendit.bsd.cafe/post/821622>

14.1-RELEASE to 14.2-RELEASE

… an interim approach to avoiding the DRM graphics issue that was noted for 14.2-RELEASE before the release announcement …

My media pooter's VPN in my loungeroom is still set to Pommyland, but irritatingly tonight the ITV streaming site i've been using for months wouldn't load, so i jumped across instead to my BBC account, browsed, & stumbled across this gem...

memorabletv.com/news/first-loo

What.a.cracker. Many times i nearly choked on my dinner or spat it out, in gales of giggles & guffaws. David Mitchell pretty much always plays David Mitchell in whatever role, but damn he's so good at it, & this [at least, S1 E1] was hysterically awkward, geeky, insecure & brilliant. Also, it co-stars Anna Maxwell Martin, who i regard as a bit of a younger Nicola Walker, in as much as i also find her captivating & i'll watch her in anything. A serendipitous find!

One thing I am thinking about and wanted to share with you comes in two parts.

1) #Ludwig (BBC) is a short series, sort of comedy mystery detective show? And the main character is an autistic guy who designs puzzles, and he gets sucked into trying to solve the mystery of his twin brother's disappearance, and it's really good as a show and as autistic representation.

2) The main thing I found very realistic and relatable was, they showed very well how the main way to get reclusive autistic people outside and interacting with the world (and the people therein) is to luuuure them with a special interest. They really Got That about me. :D The main character was horrified about being out there, but he had to do it, because there was A Puzzle.

I love autistic people. <3

Just found out there is a new crime series on BBC with David Mitchell solving the murders, essentially playing himself, but as a police Officea. Or actually, the twin brother of a police officer, and this is not a spoiler, the trailer reveals it. I sure hope our local broadcaster will buy the rights. (Or that I can get iPlayer to work through a VPN, haven't tried in a while, maybe VPN makers have won the game against geoblocking?) youtube.com/watch?v=imTyEPCAbc #DavidMitchell #Ludwig
