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.

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Since the Electron wrapper of Discord is so bad and outdated, especially on Linux, here's a way to start Discord through Linux in a "single page app" way.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...
So I got myself a PineTime watch about 8 days ago, and so far I've enjoyed using it! It's a rather simple smartwatch, but that's why I like it. No complicate BS, just the basic stuff and that's it. And it was only ~30€! (Plus 10€...
Just a quick post, I wanted to share two things. Commissioned art First, I got this really nice commission of my character Huntra wearing Linux shirt. I really like Xenia so I wanted to see my character in something similar. Thank you...
I have had some problems with Kubuntu working well with multimonitor setup. I use X11 so the reason is most likely there, not just Kubuntu's fault. When booting up my PC and ending up in SDDM, I see the login screen in both screens. Bit...
A bit of boring rambling. Something I've been thinking about. Not really answering the question directly. I am talking about desktop Linux and not just the server side. Just remember, these are my opinions and nothing factual. I hate...
I have Kubuntu non-LTS version myself, so I wanted to write down how I set up Kubuntu for basic gaming. Hopefully it'll help someone. Setting up Linux can be tricky, but it's well worth it. Note: I use AMD GPU so I don't have proper...
