Howdy! 👋

I'm level 27 web dev from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full stack developer by trade but more into server side and sysadmin stuff.

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

I'm also on Mastodon: @[email protected]

Dynamic IP - Self hosting
  • Sure. I'm not recommending anything, just stating what has worked for me. For simple use cases, I think most of the DDNS services are pretty much the same anyway and it's easy to switch to an another one if one stops working for some reason.

  • Dynamic IP - Self hosting
  • I've been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that's just one click.

    If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it's changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.

  • Suomi haluaa lopettaa ydinpolttoaineen tuonnin Venäjältä – Rosatom varoittaa seurauksista
  • Mistä uudempien ydinvoimaloiden polttoaine tulee ja mitä eroa niillä on? Mun tietämys ydinvoimaloista on tasoa "sisään menee uraania ja ulos tulee sähköä", joten siksi kyselen tyhmiä

  • Vesihuoltolaitoksiin murtauduttu kesän aikana eri puolilla Suomea – tämä murroista tiedetään nyt
  • Varsinkin kun pikkukunnissa monessa asiassa edetään otteella “poikien kanssa tässä vähän puuhaillaan”, eikä ison maailman hömpötykset paina.

    Todettakoon kuitenkin, että se Perähikiän kunnan vesihuolto ei luultavasti ole sabotöörien ykköskohde, kun mahdolliset vaikutukset olisi aivan mitättömät. Mutta tämä ei tietenkään ole syy jättää varautumatta

  • Puhelinliittymiä myydään tiskin alta piilotetuilla alehinnoilla – näin paljon voit säästää
  • Työpaikan kahvipöydässä kuulin, että niksi on tehdä numeronsiirto kilpailijalle ja odottaa, että nykyiseltä operaattorilta tulee ns. winback-tarjous, yleensä tekstiviestillä. Mutta ekaan tarjoukseen ei kannata vielä tarttua, vaan odottaa että tulee vielä parempi tarjous tai soittavat perään. Ja tämä sitten uudestaan joka kerta kun tarjoushintainen kausi on päättymässä.

    Itsellä ei kyllä todellakaan ole mielenkiintoa moiseen rumpaan.

  • Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only
  • My main issue with CVEs nowadays is that it seems one gets generated even when 99% of the use cases for the software in question are not vulnerable as the vulnerability requires a very specific configuration/circumstances/etc. to be exploitable. In large projects with lots of dependencies this adds a lot of noice and there's a risk that actual important CVEs go unnoticed.

  • I was going to give the example of the Carnival cruise ship that sank in the 2010s (I think) largely due to the captain’s incompetence[...]

    That's Costa Concordia. It received extra media attention and is mostly known due to the awful behavior of the captain who first directly caused the accident and then fled the ship before most of his passengers.

  • Flathub has passed 2 billion downloads
  • Well, just by looking at responses in this thread, the controversy most definitely still exists. Some seem to like it and others hate it fiercely.

  • Flathub has passed 2 billion downloads
  • Cool, thanks for the explanation.

    a single application that gets bundled with all necessary dependencies including versioning

    Does that mean that if I were to install Application A and Application B that both have dependency to package C version 1.2.3 I then would have package C (and all of its possible sub dependencies) twice on my disk? I don't know how much external dependencies applications on Linux usually have but doesn't that have the potential to waste huge amounts of disk space?

  • Flathub has passed 2 billion downloads
  • Sorry to ask, I'm not really familiar with Linux desktop nowadays: I've seen Flatpak and Flathub talked about a lot lately and it seems to be kinda a controversial topic. Anyone wanna fill me in what's all the noice about? It's some kind of cross-distro "app store" thingy?

  • Registar .fi nimelle
  • https://www.louhi.fi/domain-verkkotunnus/
    Parikymppiä + alv / vuosi
    5+ vuoden aikana hinta noussut kerran, mikä omasta mielestä ihan kohtuullista

  • Registar .fi nimelle
  • Mulla on Louhella kaikki domainit ja ei oo ollut valittamista

  • Kansallinen E-kirjasto avautuu tänään
  • Hieman amatöörimäiseltä vaikuttaa toiminta kun palvelun julkaisupäivä on ollut tiedossa pitkään, mutta ilmeisesti ei ole saatu sovellusta Googlen tarkastusprosessista ajoissa läpi.

    Mutta eiköhän tästä hyvä tule, aikanaan

  • Google Play Store rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads
  • I think it would be useful with updates when setting up a new phone or after a factory reset when basically every app needs an update

  • What todo app are you using?
  • Google Tasks. Does not have all the features of other apps but does everything I need and was preinstalled

  • High Court orders temporary suspension of Telegram's services in Spain
  • Telegram has a builtin support for proxies and the authorities probably won't be able to block all of them

  • Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement
  • Good luck trying to "shut down" a open source software.. Still sucks tho, why Nintendo gotta make so good games but be so shitty of a company otherwise

  • Student Toe-Licking Fundraiser Sparks Investigation Into Oklahoma School
  • Probably not the best idea for the fundraiser but I don't see the problem with it either as long as no one was forced to participate. They probably washed their feet beforehand, or at least I hope they did

  • yle.fi Finland votes: Stubb wins presidency

    National Coalition Party candidate Alexander Stubb is set to become Finland's next president on 1 March, beating independent candidate Pekka Haavisto, backed by a voters' association and the Green party.

    Finland votes: Stubb wins presidency

    National Coalition Party candidate Alexander Stubb is set to become Finland's next president on 1 March, beating independent (but supported by the Greens) candidate Pekka Haavisto.

    I voted for Haavisto but think that Stubb will be a excellent president too. They both are very experienced in foreign policy, pro-EU and very strong supporters of Ukraine. In fact, the press had to dig real hard to find any differences between them, the most major one being their stance on how Finland should respond (to very theoretical situation) if NATO wanted to store nuclear weapons in Finland or transport them via our territory.
