If you dont need filesharing, you can just setup wireguard, setup a network drive on your phone's files app.l, and then when connected it'll feel like native file browsing.

All big tech companies are mandating employees to use AI for tasks. Unless there's a similar movement to open source that is AI-free, you're going to need to be tech-free of you wa…

I use almost plain old wireguard, hosting a wg-easy container that has a nice web gui wrapper that makes it easy with QR codes, no configuration files to create like just wireguard…

I don't understand why people are still using Tailscale after the issue they had where two independent tunnels were connected together.

I've been rocking the Dygma Defy since it came out and it's been amazing. Their software has been buggy though, and left me rebuilding key maps more than once. I just wished it had…

Don't forget regex!

Yeah, sorry about that, and thanks for the heads up! I've struggled with the dictionary a few different times. Here's to hoping the 12dicts wordlist 2of12inf is a better choice tha…

https://spanara.app Spanara - A word game inspired by the "license plate game" my wife taught me while we lived in Finland. License plates in Finland always start with 3 letters, s…

I love my Dygma Defy: https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy

Yeah, just guess I'm a bit confused, because the green sticks I've chosen are valid for both A and F, so I'm not quite getting how F got ruled out in that instance.

Thanks for trying it out! And thanks for the word example, I'll have to find a better dictionary. And your game was fun. I noticed it gave me a letter (A) when it still could have …

This was inspired by a game my wife introduced me to in Finland, where license plates always started with 3 letters. The game was to come up with the "best" word, using those 3 let…

"Woooo" Slaps chalk board. "Are you pumped for today's lesson?!" -Brock Best classes ever.

Using AI to debug code at 2am sounds like pure insanity.

Considering orthodontic treatments, no. I imagine you could damage the connective tissues under the gums though.

Couldn't you just add a control (PID/Kalman filter/etc) to coverage on a stability of some local "most" truth?

Yes I believe you can look up anyone's salary in Finland, but you have to officially request it, and not sure how that's done. Some organization requests all the high earners and p…

It was waterfall, but a lot of agile inside. Instead of development from waterfall, developers get a proof of concept up in front of the client SMEs as soon as possible, and then g…

I'd love to, this is exactly the use case for digital technology; automate the stuff we can making more time for more meaningful taska for everyone. Finland is ahead of it's time f…

Old boring tech, VB.NET and t-SQL. Never understood the hate for VB.NET, I swear it's from people misconstruing VBA, which is awful, or they had terrible infra and coding standards…

Project started in 2014 and is still ongoing, but I think it's mostly small add-ons these days. I was on this project for nearly 6 years.

I wrote multiple systems that import most of the tax return data for the Finnish Tax Administration, a system that imports payroll data (and helped with the previous version of the…

Just a bummer that these index funds are unavailable to expats :(

I'd like to hear more. It would be nice of you to write it in a comment to share with others that are interested instead of requesting DMs :)

Can you provide a forum (or a few) that you mentioned?
