sorry for the youtube, link.

No worries, mostly I use the NewPipe app on Android to follow YT-Links.

@Tanja I figured you'd know how to handle them :) I mostly use vlc or mpv for the same.

Didn't realize VLC could handle YT links, good to know for the desktop. On the desktop, I use a dedicated YT container with Mozilla's Multi-Account-Container addon, but this would even be better. Thanks for pointing that out.

Louder Than Bombs (Norway/France/Denmark/USA, 2015)

Despite it's loud title, this is a very quiet film. I have probably mentioned already, that I find Joachim Trier (not to be confused with Lars von Trier,) one of the most interesting Scandinavian film makers of our age. Both Thelma (2017) and Oslo, August 31st (2011) are films worth watching.

Louder Than Bombs is a film about loosing someone, about coping with grief, about carrying on, about growing up, about getting old, about loosing yourself, and about sticking together. It's a hard film to describe, but it makes you think, and lingers long after watching. As with Joachim Triers other films, it's more about observing everyday life, than about a fixed story with a beginning and an end. I highly recommend this film. As his first English language film, it should also be more accessible to anybody outside of Scandinavia. (But don't let that deter you from watching his other films!)

the casting here is wonderful.. very high-end actors. Gabriel Byrne takes me out of it a lil' bit b/c of his over-the-top role as Big Ben in Mad Dog Time -- but that is just the effect of having stars in films. Haven't finished watching.. just entering my impressions.

I see the Swedish sensibilities of the horrors of war, death and loss coming through in this story.. it is reminding me of both Jordskott and Midnight Sun.. and also of a friend of mine here on D*. Nations change, don't they? When I think of stories and histories like Beowulf and vikings.. the people are so different now. The sensibilities are so different.

Harald Eilertsen

Not seen either of those. Looks quite interesting.

Not sure what you mean by the rest. Nations are are fairly new concept, but yeah, luckily they change. Human struggle with life is something that can echo throughout the times and changes, though. Personally I don't think we're so different, but then as now the stories of the ruling class was very different than those from the people in general. Beowulf and the Norse sagas are the stories of the ruling class, while films like Louder than Bombs probably resonates more with the stories of people in general.

The Blair Witch Project (USA, 1999)

The film that turned found footage into a genre is 20 years old this year. Since I haven't seen it since it first was released, I felt it was time for a rewatch.

It's a bit strange to see this film today. The whirling handheld camera and the seemingly "behind the scenes"-feeling that was so revolutionary at the time, has now been used and abused in countless other films with similar themes. It's still a good film, although people seeing it for the first time will probably not understand what all the fuzz was about at the time. And to be honest, the marketing was way more brilliant than the film itself. Still a good film worth watching — if nothing else — for the film-historical value. And the impromptu scene where Heather breaks down and talks directly to the camera is still an important moment in cinema history.

Alien (A23P)

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 20:47:57 +0200 from Diaspora

did you watch the entire original trilogy?
Curse of the blairwitch, Burkitsville 7, and then of course, the main course The Blair Witch Project.

lot of people forget (or never knew) it was originally a trilogy. not only a trilogy, but there was a website filled with fake news reports and a number of other things that backed the original film. The trilogy taken as a whole, notably with Curse and B7 as precursors to Project, really makes for one hell of total package. :)

The Zeek Network Security Monitor The Zeek Network Security Monitor

Why Choose Zeek? Zeek is a powerful network analysis framework that is much different from the typical IDS you may know. (Zeek is the new name for the long-established Bro system. Note that parts of the system retain the "Bro" name, and it also often appears in the documentation and distributions.) While focusing on network security monitoring, Zee...

Anybody have any experience with this or it's predecessor Bro?

I've been trying on and off to get this thing to work since it was still called SFLphone. Since I'm dealing with a little sleeplessness right now, I figured I'd give it another shot. The Android app still crashes after account creation, and in order to get the Ubuntu repository instructions for anything older than 19.04 (I'm sticking to LTS releases these days), you have to enable a whole bunch of third-party scripts, including from Google. I find myself lacking enthusiasm.

I worked with David Sugar on GNU Telephony a few years back, specifically on GNU SIP Witch and GNU Free Call, see https://www.gnu.org/software/sipwitch/ and https://www.gnu.org/software/sipwitch/deploy-sipwitch-ubuntu.html to set up your own SIP service if needed. David did a SIP plugin for Friendica and was interested in SIP over WebRTC, and https://www.gnutelephony.org/ is now using Rocket.chat as the front end of the site, which - unlike the previous Mediawiki - does support WebRTC.

Charlotte Wakes (UK, 2017)

Harald Eilertsen

Sun, 09 Jun 2019 12:59:39 +0200

Aka: Darkness Wakes, The Sitter

A fairly decent old-creepy-house film. Charlotte is offered a rather well paid job cat-sitting in a creepy old mansion out in the countryside. The lonely elderly couple who lives there seems rather odd, but the pay is nice so she takes the job. From there on there's not many surprises in this film. It's well made, though, and Aisling Knight does a good performance as Charlotte — the rational student who shouldn't really be afraid of creaky old houses. It gets an extra half a point for the British atmosphere.

Ken Park (USA, 2002)

Harald Eilertsen

Sat, 08 Jun 2019 18:12:32 +0200

A group of friends struggle with dysfunctional families, and lack of prospects for a future in a small californian town. Their lives are centered around the skateboarding scene, and the suicide of their common friend Ken Park, or Krap Nek as the often called him. As with Larry Clarks previous films (Kids, 1995 and bully, 2001) this is a film that's more about capturing the individuals life situations than telling a story with a beginning and an end. The story is the daily life of these kids, or at least the short glimpse of it we get during the film. It's a times disturbing and uncomfortable to watch, but then again the gritty realism is what makes this interesting in the first place. The choice of using largely unknown actors for the young friends again works wonderfully.

The film's biggest drawback is the sheer level of dysfunctionality displayed, though. It's almost like a distilled version of everything you can think of as family disorders spread out on just the families of the four main roles. It's at times very close to becoming caricature rather than social realism.

I think this is a great film, and recommend it warmly. Be warned though, if you're disgusted by body fluids or genitals, you may not have a good time.

Il Conformista (Italy, 1970)

Harald Eilertsen

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 20:12:47 +0200

English title: The Conformist

Bernardo Bertolucci is probably better known for his later films, like Last Tango in Paris (1972) and The Little Emperor (1987). In his Il Conformista from 1970 we meet a soft hearted fascist sent out to assasinate his former professor, now an anti-fascist in exile. Combining this with his honeymoon it evolves into a erotic triangle drama with his and his former professors wives. The somewhat absurd story is paired with magnificent cinematography and a rather slow pace and somber atmosphere. It's somewhere between a slow, tragic comedy and a comic tragedy. It ranges from deep and philosofical to a sing and dance number. There's many layers to discover in this film.

Det er meg du vil ha (Norway, 2014)

Harald Eilertsen

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 19:29:07 +0200

English title: It's me that you want (my translation)

I watched this film at the Cinematheque in Oslo, and before the screening there was a live interview with the sole actor of the film Andrea Bræin Hovig. The interview was less interesting than it could have been. Sadly the interviewer was more interested in his own attempts at wit than the subject of the interview. When Bræin Hovig got a chance to speak, however, her observations and insights were interesting. In particular I found her approach to playing roles that deals with touchy subjects interesting. She said she did not try to understand or rationalise, but rather explore and observe her character.

The film itself is 53 minutes of monologue where Henriette (played by Bræin Hovig) is talking into the camera. Ten years ago Henriette, then a 30-something teacher, had an affair with one of her pupils, a then 15 year old boy. This is an actual story that happened in a school in Oslo, and the film is a reenactment of real interviews with the former teacher. It tells the story from her side. Without trying to moralize or absolve her actions she tells about how the affair unfolded, and how this affected her life, career and reputation. And how friends, family and society in general reacted when the affair became known. The film is carried solely by Bræin Hovigs strong performance and the sober camera work. With practically no effects — most of the film is in black and white — it's her performance that makes the story come alive, and pulls the viewer in with her.

A very special film. Highly recommended!

It went viral some time ago, but now I can't find it. I need it. Please, does anyone know wher I can find it?

Hubzilla 4.2 Released!
Some of the most notable changes in Hubzilla 4.2 are

Calendar App
The Events and CalDAV frontends have been merged and streamlined. The Events and CalDAV apps have been deprecated in favour of the Calendar app which now comprehends both.

Reply to comments
If the feature is enabled from the conversation tools (item drop down menu), it is now possible to directly reply to comments. The timeline view will remain flattened in the Hubzilla stream. In Friendica and Mastodon this kind of comments will appear beneath the commented comment.

Administration
An admin option to store photo thumbnails on disk instead of DB has been implemented. This will reduce DB load and size. Also the DB upgrade tool has been improved to provide more info (source code of failed updates) in case of failure.

Federation
Activitypub federation has been improved. We will now deal with profile changes on the fly with platforms that support that kind of messages. Also relaying of comments to activitypub servers has been improved. especially for Friendica and Mastodon which support comment relaying.

Usability
It is now possibly to reset the profile photo to its default. Also the possibility to remove cover photos has been implemented.

A detailed changelog can be found here.

THANK YOU! to all contributors and everybody who is supporting Hubzilla in other ways.

If you like what we do, please consider to donate at https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/hubzilla

Upgrade info
In case you attended the RC testing, remember to git checkout master your repositories prior to the upgrade.

1. Execute util/udall from the web root (this will execute git pull for all repositories).
2. There are several DB updates which could take some time (depending on DB size) to complete. Please be patient. If updates fail due to server timeout, you will need to apply the failed updates manually.
3. Install the upgrade info addon (optional). This will show some info about the upgrade to your community members.
