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.

I have really enjoyed using my PineTime as a watch, so I really wanted to make my own watchface. I based it around the colors of my KDE Plasma theme. Here's what it looks like: Link to Codeberg repository And next I'm gonna ramble how I...
Hey, just a quick post, I uploaded some themes I've made for Aurorae and Plasma to KDE store. They're simple themes that follow your colorscheme but are made for dark color schemes. The accent themes follow your accent color for the...
This was my biggest contribution so far! And it was a bit more involved than I expected, so I wanted to write down what I learned. Here's a screenshot: I added the settings there that are in the red box. I also added the Paper size...
I decided it was time to dust off my Arduino starter kit I got like.. over 5 years ago? I had also bought a tiny AM2301 temperature and humidity meter, so why not combine that and the LCD display that came with the starter kit. No idea...
Just a super short post this time! I'm testing this analytics tool called GoatCounter. I just added it to this site and if you don't want to be tracked, you can use Ublock Origin to block it, or just disable Javascript. My blog should...
Well that took a while. After 6 hours I am finally done with this. It was hell but I feel accomplished. However I'm still tying up lose ends. Why? I wanted to move my stuff from Digital Ocean to Hetzner for few reasons: Digital Ocean is...
I was listening Linux Downtime episode 51 and meanwhile it was nice to hear that Copilot has been helpful for open source developers.. It still worries me. First off I still don't like they're selling the tool. A proprietary tool. Like I...
Today in Gaming On Linux discord group I was told that "I don't care about my playerbase" by one person and I got so frustrated I decided to write a blogpost about this. That's fucking insulting and just false. Note: The mods of the...
Since the Electron wrapper of Discord is so bad and outdated, especially on Linux, here's a way to start Discord through Linux in a "single page app" way. I got the help for it from here but I wanted to write this down in step-by-step...
Last sunday I finally decided it's time to leave Windows properly behind. I had Windows installed on my PC just in case I want to dualboot back to it. But almost year has been gone by since I switched to Kubuntu and.. Nope. I didn't boot...
DNS. It's always the effing DNS. I had Kubuntu 21.10 installed with snaps disabled. Decided to run an update to Kubuntu 22.04. I'm on "normal" track, so this is for non-LTS version. The update went fine but DNS refused to work after...
I have always dabbled with programming languages, even as a kid. But I never made anything with them until I was in my 20s. Most extensive things I did before my 20s was simple modifications to some files or dumb tiny javascript files....
I've been playing around with Matrix homeservers. I like the idea of running my own federated server to join random channels in. Here's the two I've played around with so far and what I've thought about them. My plan is also to create...
People who read this mess of a blog may have noticed that I am very Linux-y. This wasn't actually always the case. I used to be very comfort oriented. Didn't mean that I didn't like to tinker with things, but more like when I got home I...
So I got a Devterm... Back in June I ordered a Devterm. It finally arrived this month. I enthusiastically retrieved the package and started assembling. The assembly part was pretty easy, since there's really no tools needed except for...
