Finally! Was starting to worry this would never get fixed!

Now where did I put those Windows 95 floppies... 🤔

Got my first wisdom tooth extracted today! 🦷

Not a pleasant experience by any stretch of imagination but much less worse than I expected it to be.

Now the tedious part of waiting for the pain to go away 😣

Today Finland celebrates its 105th independence day 🥳

One of the hallmarks of the celebration for Finns is sitting down in front of the TV and watching a celebration held by the President of Finland. The highlight being when the President shakes every guests hand.

Does that sound like a inclusive celebration for all Finns or just the elite?

My suggestion; Switch off the TV, go celebrate on your own, pop that Cava and lift a toast for another year of independence from Russia 🍾

If you are a developer this advent calendar might be a fun and informative way of killing time while waiting for Christmas and eating chocolates.

To get Mastodon federation working with different web- and host-domains I had to redirect both host-meta AND webfinger even though the whole purpose of host-meta is to provide the webfinger url?

What gives ?

Does anyone really find Spring Reactive enjoyable?

I recently have been tinkering with a Spring Reactive based service at work an ex-employee left running and trying to to figure out its inner workings. I must say it has been the least enjoyable project I have been involved in a long time.

The reactive way of programming obfuscates the simplest of paradigms into a stream of actions that you actually need a full understanding of the threading model to understand 🤮

Ennen "Fyssa" tarkoitti fyysiikan oppituntia.

Näin vanhetessa se on alkanut tarkoittaa tuntia fyssarin luona missä kaunis nuori hoitaja kääntää, vääntää ja istuu sun käden päälle jotta käteen palaisi normi liikkuvuus.

On se niin ihmeellistä tämä elämä. 🤔

Ever since I did my first vacation abroad with my family as kid I have had this itch does not go away.

It is hard to explain, it is a sort of restlessness that comes that keeps telling me I don´t belong here, I am missing out.

They call it and those who have it will understand. 🌄

If the mountain does not come to you with Whatever Social, then you can buy the mountain like Elon did and drive unwanted users out and make the mountain Whatever Social.

The timing is also interesting.

A while ago Elon's and Jack's email correspondence leaked where they discussed a new social platform based on web5.

What is a better way to drive users to new platforms than making the current leading platform hostile to developers and users?

I'm so disappointed in where is going so I took the plunge and setup my own server 🙌

Still learning to use this platform and get the integrations setup for the server.

Now the biggest challenge seems to be building a new timeline here with sensible people across different servers.
