Just a lvl 29 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, open water swimming and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?

  • Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker?

    Jump

  • I've had a good experience with mailcow. It's not the most lightweight tho, and spins up quite a few containers.

  • Is there any software that can use it that benefits average user or is it just a waste of silicon???

    Jump

  • There are no plans for it, at least not for a while. Apparently F@H workloads are not suitable for the current NPUs

  • How to become a team/department lead?

    Jump

  • I can only speak from my own experience and what I've seen, but generally the best leaders are the ones who emerge naturally from within the team. You shouldn’t need to "prove yourself" to your superiors but to your coworkers instead.

    I don't know what your "vision" looks like, but start small. Feel like some manual task could be automated? Write a script and share it with the team. Think something should be done differently? Bring it up and see what others in the team think. The point is, you don't need actual "power" within the company to start implementing your vision. Unless of course the company culture is just horrible, in which case you'd probably be better off looking for other opportunities regardless..

  • I made a self-hostable frontend for instagram.

  • Obviously I'm not a lawyer but I don't see what law they could use to shut it down. All it's doing is accessing publicly available data via a proxy. It's not like it's exploiting Instagram somehow.

    If they wanna stop it, they can do what Twitter did and start requiring an account to see almost anything. Personally I suspect Meta is slowly going towards that.

  • Awesome! Got it running and seems to work well. Also I love the CLAUDE.md file you got there in the repo 🐈

  • What are your favorite healthy snacks?

    Jump

  • Dried apricots are my favorite and are rich in fiber and vitamins. Other dried fruits are good too, but personally I like apricots the most.

  • Stampy

    Jump

  • It's fun only until you hit something sharp:

    Please, don't leave these lying around everywhere!

  • What emulators do you use to run different games, for example, on Windows/Linux/macOS and Android?

    Jump

  • Yeah I did try the candles method years ago and it didn't work very well. Although maybe the candles weren't the right distance apart from each other or something else like that.

    Good thing cheap battery powered ones seem to still be readily available on Amazon and other places

  • What emulators do you use to run different games, for example, on Windows/Linux/macOS and Android?

    Jump

  • The ones I return to regularly:

    Dolphin - for GC and Wii. Most titles using Wii remotes require the sensor bar thingy and mine recently stopped working. I haven't bothered buying a new one yet so it's GC games only for now.

    Nestopia UE - for NES on Windows. These days I mostly use my Switch for (S)NES titles anyway but like once a year I get the craving to return to some classic SMB 1 or 3 rom hack.

  • What game do you wanna replay?

    Jump

  • I replayed it recently after first playing it around 2019 and found it just as enjoyable as the first playthrough.

    Since you now know the big mystery has a pretty mundane explanation, you'll pay more attention to all the small details the devs put in. There was a lot of minor things I don't remember noticing the first time around.

  • What's something you do that is not "age appropriate"?

    Jump

  • Lego. I mean, it's perfectly appropriate for all ages, but some people (mostly older folks) still seem to think it's for children only.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    Jump

  • The ending of Telltale's Walking Dead season 1

  • The Finnish Marticulation Examination to move away from Linux-based exam enviroment due to perceived threat of dwindling support on student devices

  • Yes, but everyone taking the test needs to take it exactly the same time. I think in most schools there wouldn't be enough computers for everyone.

  • I know, right? Fuck that rhythm game. But now I'm a certified human so maybe it was all worth it lol

  • That one is black on purpose lol. Move your mouse over it, or touch it if on phone. Something might be revealed...

  • Three of the pics are AI generated. Two are obvious imo, and then I just trial and errored the third one.
