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.

Rant incoming. This isn't written that well but idgaf. I just need to get this out of my system. I really enjoy chatting in FOSS communities. KDE, Linux in general, other desktop environments, so on and so forth. What I don't like is...
As I've gotten more into FOSS, I've noticed a lot of FOSS projects, like KDE, use Matrix protocol. A protocol that lets you use any client you wish to chat with each other. Basically, it's IRC but with more features. And I'm into that!...
Rotate what now? Aks, what are you talking about? I wanted to write down how I made the enemy characters in Artificial Rage rotate towards the player, since I couldn't find a simple answer. Most things I found was math. Now math is fun...
Window outlines! Yet another KDE contribution by yours truly! This was fun. Not easy at all, but fun. I'm pretty happy how they turned out. Breeze Dark Breeze Light I hope Nate you don't mind me taking the screenshots from your blog...
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...
