📓 Notes

The site has moved. Hopefully you didn't notice. I've been working towards not using USA based companies. I've almost moved all my domains from 123-Reg and the latest thing was dropping Linode. At some point I'll move my email to someone else, any suggestions?

On Saturday I bit the bullet and Signed up with a new VPS host based in the E.U. and built a new server. All the work I did for making it so that I could burn down the server and stand up a new one in short order was tested. With the exception that the new server provider sets up the server with only the root user, I had to setup my service account and disable root before I could install things and transfer the site. But with that aside everything seems to be back up and working. 🙌

🎞️ Films

• Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)
  I liked it, it felt like a good one off film with no pressure to have a follow-up sequel.
• Superman (2025)
  I really liked this, I seen Peacemaker season 2 recently, so I kept doing the point at screen and say "That's where he came from!" And let's face it anything that has Nathan Fillion in it I'm going to like.
• 28 Years Later (2025)
  This one was different. I loved the first two films, and this is a worthy followup but it's a very different way of presenting the story, which makes it hard to see the connection to its legacy.
