Hi, I'm Aks (Akseli Lahtinen) from Finland! I'm KDE dev by day and a hobbyist gamedev/FOSS-dev by night. I like metal, industrial and EBM music, and I love FPS, RPG and spacesim games. I also love tinkering with Linux systems.

So I was running my linkhut fork instance scalie.computer, and everything was fine at first. Then it was suddenly gone. This happened to me twice! Note that I am not a sysadmin/webdev type of person. This whole world is scary and full of...
Update: Found the culprit, see here: https://akselmo.dev/posts/they-broke-my-server/ My site https://scalie.computer/ just broke. I don't know what happened exactly. I was just minding my business and went to check on it. It had crashed...
I was asked a good question: What are these things? What are the differences? I will try to explain what they are in this post, in bit less technical manner. I will keep some of the parts bit short here, since I am not 100% knowledgeable...
We have worked on some spring cleaning for Breeze, which helps us to prepare for Union and the changes it brings. This post is a bit more technical. Help us test things! Edit: I made another post that should help explain some of the...
If you wont use this new VC funded hypetech, such as generative "AI" you will be left behind! Is that a promise? Please! Please leave me behind. I am boycotting your tech, refusing to use it. I will be here, working on things until your...
This is a vent post. Feel free to ignore. I keep finding tech industry more and more dissapointing and annoying and harmful. Every year it gets more and more frustrating to read what new way of siphoning money and mental health has been...
I added simple emotions here now, like many people have them in their blog. I have not yet styled them much, but here's some of them: Hi I'm smiling! lololol Told you so! oh what the fuck And so on. Should allow me to make some fun lil...
I made a simple todo2ical script that converts todo.txt file into an ical file. It's not much really. I just wanted some nice way to get notifications for my due tasks without separate apps. You can add the files it produces as read-only...
Hey there, I have been reading about IndieWeb and found out about something called Webmentions. I am using Webmention.io for mine for now, I may in future host my own Webmention system, though I am rather lazy so IDK. I am still quite...
Happy holidays everyone. Consider this as your holiday card from me. I will be taking short break from KDE stuff for now, though I will be around. (I tagged KDE so that readers of planet have to see these, mwahaha.) And happy new year...
For a while now, probably two years, I wanted to have support for high-contrast colorschemes in KDE Plasma. Technically, this was already doable, by just modifying your colorscheme to such colors. However one thing was lacking: Outlines...
People have been a bit weirded by what happened during this period. People have been interested in this after the post by Jonathan Riddell was written. Here's what I remember from the situation. Order of events I get laid off from...
Once again, all KDE nerds had their yearly gathering around somewhere in the world. We call this gathering Akademy and this year it was in Berlin. I don't really have anything in-depth to share, except for my first talk I had. I spent a...
One thing I always have wished that my reMarkable 2 had was web browser. It wouldn't need to be very efficient nor the best browser out there. Just something simple I can use to read definitions for words or other small knowledge when...
There has been quite a surge in interest towards desktop Linux lately. The userbase, at least according to some metrics, seems to be climbing. I realised today that it's been 4 years for me since I did the switch. I have gathered some...
