    Please don't try to machine translate to my local language. The translations are terrible or outright incorrect.

    Well, at least the Finnish laws against it aren't enforced at all and public drinking is very common. Judging by what I've seen, it seems to be the case in Sweden too.

    As someone who lives and regularly drives in Helsinki, I feel that most kilometers I drive are on roads that allow 80km/h. The 30km/h limits are mostly in residential areas, close …

    Thank you for the illustration! I was sitting here, wondering that the whole system sounds paradoxical but seeing it drawn down with the arrows really helped grasp how this works!

    Not for watching tv, but you might need the entire room for doing stretching, doing yoga or other exercises.

    That sounds awfully much like something I might be doing. Do you have any specific books you would recommend?

    I'm not sure of other militaries but the Finnish army indeed uses very yurt-like tents, "puolijoukkueteltta"[0]. [0] https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puolijoukkueteltta

    What makes it superior? Is it easier to adjust or untie?

    Not sure why this was downvoted. I switched phones yesterday and transferring signal with the direct wi-fi transfer was easier than transferring whatsapp, I do know that that used …

    How well do Signal groups work these days? I tried moving friend groups to signal some years ago and even managed to do that for some large ones but the group chat just didn't real…

    Isn't the whole point of e2e that you don't need to worry about what runs on the server, unless you're worried about metadata leakage.

    It does, but as far as I've understood, FPGA's are much simpler and more regular so hiding backdoors into those would be harder than hiding one into a hardware cpu.

    In what part of the world? I haven't seen one in Finland since maybe the early 2000's.

    There's at least this: https://hackaday.io/project/167446-diy-inkjet-printer But as others have mentioned, commercial printers are really cheap, especially for how complicated they…

    There was actually a whole genre of action games in the Finnish indie game scene in the 90's, cave flying games (luolalentelypelit) that usually had similar physics from which Noit…

    I know it's not quite that simple but isn't OpenSSL exactly an example of how a bug in open source software was found and fixed? Of course it took a while and the software was alre…

    Have you tried using your thumbprints? For me, they never fail to unlock my phone when the other fingers do. OTHO, I only climb plastic so YMMV.

    It's not an entirely new thing, there was this article[1] with accompanying code[2] from 2016. It just used to be quite unwieldy to use (a separate script to deform the gcode). [1]…
