Olen ollut täällä jo usean vuoden mutta ehkä #esittely on paikallaan varsinkin kun vaihdoin instanssia tänä vuonna.
Olen aika tuore eläkeläinen, työskennellyt ohjelmisto-insinööreilyn parissa. Siitä viimeiset 15 vuotta open source -maailmassa, LibreOfficen parissa. Nykyään harrastan löhöilyä […]

the AI slop in security reports have developed slightly over time. Less mind-numbingly stupid reports now, but instead almost *everyone* writes their reports with AI so they still get overly long and complicated to plow through. And every follow-up question is another minor essay discussing pros […]

@redjives Why is it so hard for articles like this to mention what continues to exist, in addition to lamenting what has gone away.
For instance, VR's domestic night trains in Finland continue to run, and more rolling stock has been ordered, in addition to the existing (already relatively new […]

With Trump since long openly desiring to invade #greenland, can it be long before he notices that #iceland would be an even more important strategic catch?
And Iceland doesn’t even have an army, and probably hasn’t paid much to the US for defence, and to Trump, everything is about money, of […]

It's fun when the CI of your project first tells you to use " instead of <> around the header name in an include line you have added in your change.
OK, so you change that.
Then the next CI round it tells you to use <> instead of "".

UPPDATERAS: “Vi vill ha slut på kriget, inte slut på Ukraina”, Zelenskyj, Ukraina står kvar efter 1 407 dagar av fullskaligt krig
UPPDATERAS: “Vi vill ha slut på kriget, inte slut på Ukraina”, Zelenskyj, Ukraina står kvar efter 1 407 dagar av fullskaligt krig
President Zelenskyj sade i sitt nyårstal att Ukraina vill ha slut på kriget, men inte slut på sitt land och att dra sig ur Donbas inte är aktuellt då Ryssland bara ljuger om att acceptera vapenstillestånd då. Ukraina står fortfarande emot efter 1 407 dagar av fullskaligt krig, vilket är längre än Sovjetunionen slogs mot Nazityskland.

Sigh, I wasted hours hacking on #fontconfig, trying to make it be a better Windows citizen, and it is just horrible.
Apparently it was written back in the last years of the 1900s in what was supposed to be a very "portable" fashion, where "portability" then meant "run on any random hardware and […]

First song and video of the year happens to be Jump They Say by David Bowie, from 1993: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPZWgCLMsW8
Bowie looks as gorgeous as ever. Don't recall if I had ever seen this video before. Sadly, of all the cultural references, I recognised only the stewardess outfits […]

Joku asiantuntija uutisissa sanoo että Yhdysvallat perui tulleja ”muilta mailta”. Eihän se niin toimi. Tuohan on juuri Trumpin käyttämää harhaanjohtavaa retoriikkaa. Tulleja peritään maahantuojilta, ei ”mailta”. Kannattaa olla tarkkana.

Noticed that six years ago we went to an artsy gig with the fabulous band Cleaning Women on New Year's Eve.
http://www.cleaningwomen.com
They describe themselves as a "band known for their self-made Instruments, androgynous image, and including interdisciplinary arts in their live performances"

Where is the Mathias Rust of today? Would be glorious if some daredevil would repeat his stunt*. Ideally on the same day, Border Guards Day, or some other suitable day, like Putler’s birthday.
*) Nah, I am not serious, most likely they would be shot down immediately this time.
