Welcome to my fedi-home

I'm a cis-male creature whose ideas refuse to fit into any category, so I became a category of my own. (AKA a weirdo)

Not too alone nor popular I'm proud to say I wasted my life staring at a code editor and I will continue being your friendly geek on the internet.

Anxiety is woven into my personality and I believe it's because I can see a future in which we’re all doomed. beside this, introverted and talkative are other labels you can attach to my presence.

If I’m not busy writing code, you’ll likely find me wandering the streets with a camera, or hiding in a dark corner with a novel, as any well-adjusted person does.

I went to an open mic at a small anarchist bar/art space and read out some stuff and was vulnerable and talked to people and laughed and maybe I feel a tiny bit less sad now. Community is healing, y'all.

                📵 The internet blackout is now in its 53rd day after 1248 hours of disconnection from global networks. As authorities work to develop tiered access for select users and businesses, the human impacts and economic harms of this digital censorship measure continue to spiral.

                Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 21 April 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. A brief restoration was observed on 18 March. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.

                  Crow friendship progress [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                  The balcony crow that I'm trying to befriend is slowly becoming less and less shy. They used to be too shy to even land on the balcony when I was sitting outside last year, but now they come and get peanuts that are lying on the floor, less than 1 meter away from where I'm sitting.
                  Also, this morning there was a small round pebble on the balcony that was not there yesterday. It could be a coincidence, and that pebble ended up there by chance somehow, but the most logical explanation I find is that a crow left it there. Maybe for me? Maybe not?
                  In any case, I feel like they're tolerating my presence more and more. I'm excited to see how our relationship will develop.

Then I gradually fill in the gaps with one or more other reading strategies depending on the codebase.

                                                * Fix something simple and debug it when it doesn't work. Repeat until things start to make sense.
                                                * Often you need to know how something is used. Don't underestimate low-tech approaches. Set a breakpoint or print something loud and run tests until you hit it, or just deliberately break it and see what else breaks as a result.
                                                * Use VCS history. `tig -Sthing` is a superpower.

- a few "Skrolli" magazines 
- a Finnish "almanakka" for the year 2025
- "Using the X Window System" /for HP/Hewlett-Packard) 
- "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan & Ritchie (Second Edition, i think its like the 8th print).
- "Imaging in Lung Transplantation" by Gracijela Bozovic
- "How to Build a Low-Tech Internet?" by Kris De Decker

on top of the shelf there are some legos
on the shelf where the books are there is a "Router Freedom" sticker (for openwrt)
and a plastic anime cutout figurine is a bit visible too

                                                    @k@layer8.space not a classic, but I would also suggest "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software"
                                                    Used it as a reference instead of asking AI a couple of times, great book :)

Most of it remains relevant even today, but it contains curious tidbits that explain more clearly why things were done the way they were, and still are.

                                                            Today, ’s official full-time wage has been announced to set at just €120 a month.

                                                            For people of , a basic unfurnished small home already costs at least €110 a month and one kilogram of meat is about €12.

                                                            This is not a living . It is social violence.

                                                            And while are being crushed by hunger, some still have the shamelessness to call their “foreign .”

                                                              Sooo I'm kinda confused.
                                                              Should I continue my digital life like nothing ever happened? Restart blogging, toot, chat online, read blogs and follow tech updates?

                                                              Like 10+ thousands of people weren't just killed, internet isn't literally shut down and US isn't bombing my city.

                                                              I've been staying away from anything internet so far. Until I got notified my domain is expiring, and it made me think, should I renew it? Should I pretend nothing has changed? I'm not changed?

                                                              I'm not depressed, just trying to make a decision here (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)
